forget sanchez unless he shows form! dont know why many people are going for sanchez. ManU will continue to be boring. Better to save 1m & go for Sane/ Mane/ Eriksen or even KDB,

August 10th

9th August I believe

Cheers both. So right before the start of the premier league

That exact sentence into Google would have given you the answer.

Name some decent 5.5s. They all seem awful imo.

4-3-3 for me. Putting last year’s lesson in practice now.

Mostly 5-2-3 is the idea, with a possibility of going 4-3-3.

I don't particularly aim for a certain formation but it normally ends up as 3-4-3 because the cheap forward usually looks better than the cheap mid when I'm scraping the barrel.

3-5-2

cheap 5.5m mid to accommodate a strong attack that can be transferred to any bandwagon under 6m that comes along

but I'll likely start off with Deulofeu however I'm tempted by Cairney

3-4-3 or 4-3-3

532/442

3 5 2

442 is best way to start

Need more pre season before can make a decision, to many options.

4 3 3

I like A. Sánchez is a good diff

3 ain't enough. Get 4

Currently on...

Salah, Sanchez, Mahrez and Aguero.

3 minimum

Aguero Auba Salah Eriksen
Would love Sanchez

Salah Sanchez Agüero

Possibly going for Sané too, but would need to downgrade my defence to the point where I have 3* 4.0m players.

Salah, Auba, Mahrez, Firmino - and investment in defence.

I'm currently on Kun, Sane, Mo, Bobby

wish I could squeeze in Auba but eats up too much of the budget and I'm happy with Firmino

Currently only on 2 premium players Salah and Aguero
Planning to invest more in defenders with the extra funds.
Feel there’s a lot more options in forward and mid positions this year for 8.0 or less

Currently have Salah Kun Morata Mahrez

Reply fail

Serbian ban due to pyrotechnics

He was on loan last season so they haven't added him.

Same with Batshuayi, Mirallas, and whoever else was loaned out of the league.

Please dont remind me 🙁

B. With Sane + Zaha. Can swap for Arnie when fixtures get better

A

Aguero and Kenedy maybe

Basically Don’t think of Salah as “essential” maybe a slow start to the season

Auba and Kun. Then do what you gotta do.

B for me

A is the best, but it will change when you factor in the other players.

I'm on B

C
Firmino is great value

why is everyone so confident aguero will be regular starter? will jesus keep on coming from the bench? i prefer going for city attacking mids,

The pre season tab.

Teams homepage I guess as some are ignored on here

Nailed cheap 3rd striker...possibly 6m....good enabler

I would be tempted to punt on him for a few game weeks.

Still very young though, plus he has shown he has talent.

For me his temper makes him even more exciting. I like a nutter and with him you never know what you are gonna get.
It´s a game after all

Highest ownership in the game.

High risk to go without Salah, but high reward if he fails and Aguero hauls.

Nope. I’ll captain Salah while you’re captaining Aguero though.

no

C

Have you seen Newcastle’s fixtures? Dont start with Kenedy.

I started off saying Silva, but I feel like at least for the first weeks Mahrez? Interested to see what other people think

reasoning is sound

You won't want to sell salah. You will however want to sell some or all of Ramsey, Deulofeu, Cairney and Kamara. And maybe Tosun. Which you'll struggle to do cos all the money is tied up in Salah.

Then fair enough if they’ve gone for him. Doesn’t make any sense to me though

Harry isn't a thief.

Come gw3 I´ll evaluate them, No reason to get any Arse defender ahead of that imo. And Leno is way down on my ´goalie to get´ list

Fixtures are god awful though. Surely Tosun is a better pick?

Chichariot will change that when he's back from his World Cup rest.

I'm going with Auba from the start (and Mahrez)

Lessons learned from last season - trust in quality players, try not to overthink things and avoid planned transfers where possible.

In addition, he will have had a full preseason and is (most probably ) 100% nailed.

Aguero because he's playing down the middle for a 100-goal attack.

Auba as I want him from gw3 anyway. Up against a decimated City and an unknown(probably decimated also) chelsea does not look to frightening from a goalscoring point of view. I mean Arsenal could still lose but I bet they will score some.

It depends on the rest of the team... but in a 1v1 pick, Id go for Aguero...

Auba
Hasn't been to the World Cup.
Isn't a rotation risk.
100% nailed on pens.
Six of the listed City defenders have been at the World Cup. All bar one didn't play maximum amount of games (Otamendi).
Chelsea have a new manager, probably implementing a new system they ain't use to (433).
Scored three goals in 16 minutes.

Kun as I prefer shouting Agueroooooo

Of you can’t pick one, get them both.

What about Stekelenburgh with Pickford needing a WC break?

A but with Azpi

Whilst I can see the appeal due to his historic performances, I'm not willing to spend that amount of money on him until I know for sure he is firing on all cylinders for Mourinho.

Some of his performances for United were an embarrassment.

great option given United had an explosive start last season too

but he's still one of those wait-and-sees for me

Might get him if on penos, or maybe Martial.

If he starts the season (big IF) do you not think there's a huge chance he could lose his place after on mistake?

Logically, will he even be first choice for a long period of time?

Maybe spending that extra 0.5 is insurance for when he gets dropped.

Also, for those hard fixtures, it's not a bad idea to have a backup anyway.

Should you rotate Fabianski with another 4.5? Yes
Should you rotate Ryan with another 4.5? Yes
Should you rotate Lossl with another 4.5? Yes
Should you rotate Foster with another 4.5? Yes
Should you rotate Begovic with another 4.5? Yes
Should you rotate Hennessey with another 4.5? Yes

So if you get a Liverpool goalkeeper at a bargain price, why not rotate him?

Pens?
