Looks good Prefer Sigurdsson over Gross if you can find the extra 0.5m

Or even a 5-2-3:

Fabianski
Davies | Robertson | Douglas | PVA | Coleman
Salah | Kenedy
Auba | Firmino | Aguero

4m | Cairney | 4.5m | 4.5m

I would be a little scared to go with Fabianski only. Early fixtures, new manager, etc. With this approach, I would also want someone more nailed than Dilva.

Isn't mane and Sanchez look sexier than salah and gross

Perfectly valid. I prefer Deulofeu and Aguero to Gross and Firmino tbh. The latter tick over nicely, but the former could do better than that imo. Kenedy strikes me as an odd pick. I wouldn't want him to be my first sub with those fixtures. You already have Cairney to cover Douglas' poor fixtures, so he seems like a long-term pick who you could buy at a later date.

Izquierdo over Gross for me

Foster instead of ryan?
Slightly better fixtures.
Spurs will be destroyed by the world cup absentees so maybe wait on eriksen?
Huddersfield have horrible fixtures gross a no go.

Besides that I think you are good to go.
There was a Portguese fella on here saying he expects jimenez to do well in the premier league.

Must say I really like it. Bailly, Bellerin and King would be my only concerns

You'll have to WC by gw2 😆

u make out signing Fekir and Allison is a given mate....

Lolvren still in there for the lols

Great.

too weak in defence

Overall it's very template?!

No Salah.
No Arsenal cover
Arsenal have poor fixtures.
Too many players new the league
Too many from the promoted teams
Not enough captain choices
Squad allows for no fleibility
You have picked too many who are not nailed.
Andy said you need chelsea players.
Jonty said he won't touch everton
Everton have great fixtures
Just copy marks team
Re-do that team it looks like Granvilles too much Man United
I don't like the goalkeeper rotation
Spending that much on one keeper is a waste.
That striker is way overpriced.
I like the Lennon punt though

I would think 10.5.

In will be in my team for sure ideal for the premier league.
About 10.5 max I would say.

I'd concentrate on actual signings rather than speculation, games tough enough.

10.0

I’d say 11...

Do you realise how strong the alcohol content is in Belgian beer?

Once he’s back he’s in my team... as you said set and forget... baller!

Doubt he will be back for GW1 but he will be straight in to my team when he is back

_ Clyne may start first gw only so no for me
_ Shaw.. Wait and see
_You need 4th defender imo. _ Not sure about Martial Walcott and sorloth myself.

Why commit to a wildcard so soon? I've never understood this. It's the most valuable chip, by far, that we are handed.

Not good at all, I can envisage 6 or 7 of those as not starting GW1, and even more not starting regularly

Cover I think...

Back up for front 3
We still need a no. 10 that's why we still linked with fekir.

Thanks both. Interesting, I wouldn't have thought he would settle for a bench role, but then again he just came from Stoke so any move would've been great!

Wont get many minutes

Squad back up cheapie purchase

But Fekir is also a bench warmer no?
He was on warming duties throughout the worldcup

I sort of agree. I mean, I see the point. Even without saves, people see Ederson as a reliable 6 points per match keeper with those easy fixtures. But I can easily see City winning 3-1 or 4-1 instead of keeping clean sheets. And as you said, there won't be saves.

Isn't he being bought just to get nailed citeh cleanies for 5.5? Not bad value.

if they regress defensively, they will also allow more shots on target....

Mendy and Kompany were injured last year and Laporte joined half way through the season, all City defenders are now fit this season, Danilo now has PL experience etc., and you .... err .... think they will regress defensively ?

Interesting 🙂

Pay me £££ and I could sort it with percentage shares, left-right corners, direct/indirect free-kicks, the lot.

How are FFS going to workout setpiece takers 3 weeks from the start of the season?

B , A, C

That would be perfect

I'd be taking Daniels out mate, he's not the player he was

Diop
Zanka/Schindler
Kiko

A

You actually think you won't have changed your team dozens of times between now and August 10th?

😀

🙂

A

Nice!

joined

Now this sounds fun

You're not allowed to come to 2018 on your time machine and ask these questions. Please return to 2016. 😉

You better ask you ***

Not sure about Chelsea fullbacks getting attacking returns after reading the article on Sarri. Monitor for now and decide after the shield game

Once VVD joined Pool they had the most clean sheets and conceded the least goals, I'd keep him.

Bailey, Douglas, Holgate, Cedric, Hughes, Cairney, Rall

Going to be a long season 😉

Robertson

10 years??
when will you stop playing this game?

Good team

My team
Foster Fab
Robertson Cedric Bailly Douglas Peltier
Mahrez Salah Cairney Jota McArthur
Kun Firmino Tosun

Mahrez over Sanchez, Jota over Mikhi McArther over Delboy Firmino over Zaha

We will be within 6 points of each other

Looks like the template had arrived 🙂

Decent. But I wouldn't have two Arsenal players with their tricky opening fixtures

Wouldn't go for Lascelles, terrible fixtures. Seri not a good pick, new league and team plus he is a CDM

u r light in attack, u r light in defence, u r light in GK; Apart from Salah & Sane, the rest of ur team stinks. if u r light in attack, go for attacking defenders. And get rid of sanchez.

1 Zaha
2 nay (monitor defence first)
3 no
4 7
