5.5 or 6.0.. Given that Bobby Reid score 18 goals only 5.5m, I think Mitrovic around that value. Unless he is Mid, then no question 6.5m

Oh! Is that a done deal now?

I think Sané is a better pick than Mahrez.

Why not both to start the season?

B

A

Shaw for me. Young looked shattered in the world cup. Decent chance Shaw wins the place if he performs early doors

I'm currently on Bailley but just used the comparison tool in members and Shaw looks way more attacking.

Ofcourse Bailly.
All these new Shaw hopefuls will be doing that transfer come gw3. Young made dream team he'll be claiming his spot back

Both will definitely start the season, however long term I think Bailly is more nailed. If (and a big if) Shaw impresses he could secure the LB position, it's definitely more risky but can save you an important 0.5.

thanks for the advise peeps. I'll stick with Bailley for now.

Cheers

Shaw would be better if he was nailed. Bailly has a better chance of making himself nailed and I can't see Jones / Lindelof ousting him in the same way Young will just Shaw

442 here with Salah, Sanchez, Sanè, Mkhi as mids.

I'm thinking of 5 midfield too, so much value in there

Looked at it. Currently on a 5-3-2 / 5-2-3 as I'm planning to go heavy with Salah + Auba + Aguero

Richarlison could be moving to Everton. I'd stay away

Yes, that's what I'm currently looking at.

jota richarlson pedro walcott are going nowhere near my team in any formation 🙂

Think we all would!

Not going to happen though

only GW1 if that as he has the Asian games and doesn't get called up for Army duties back home.

Son isn't playing, due native nation duties!

I can't see why they would risk injury by starting him

This.

Lovely

Almost the same as my team but I have Sanchez in mid.dont have Mandy tho Bailly instead

Just an idea, you could save 1M by swapping Ederson and Bennett for Patricio and Mendy?

Looks good. Arnie has a really difficult early fixture list to contend with though

Decent. I reckon you can squeeze another preimum mid in there with a little more shaving around the fringe players

Too much invested in defence.

Does it help upgrade anyone if u have mahrez over sane? If it's just for the bank then go sane

Would be happy if u were in my league.

Douglas Ralls Cairney
Speroni Chalobah Peltier Kamara? ... err .... no, just no

Nobody.

Chelsea will have a whole new tactical system to get used to. I suspect their attack in particular will be disjointed for a while.

Plus Sarri's trying to get Higuain for that position.

Considering it

I'd be surprised in Chelsea didn't sign a centre forward

Hahaha

Waiting to see if another signing..if not he is in my team..sarri very attacking

Thinking about a Chelsea attacker, yeah.

I hope Morata can come good. He was awesome last year until he got injured and his friend died.

Went Giroud instead or thinking of it anyway.

Its Hughes at 5.0 for me, should be playing in the number 10. I also quite fancy Chalobah at 4.5.

6m is that awkward level where you can't bench then. The kind of player you'll probably sell before you get anything from him, then he'll go on a run of 3 consecutive goals

You're right, but I don't think anyone believes last season's record is sustainable. Happy to be proved wrong!

Think there is so much potential value at 5.0 instead:

Costa
Hughes
Kenedy
Cairney
Ralls

All either attacking midfielders and/or on set-pieces and fairly nailed.

I think his good attacking returns were mainly because of his tactical role under Silva. Notice, that he failed to score since Silva had been sacked in January.

Will Mahrez start? If so for D.Silva then?

Actually pretty good

decent but not sure about hughes

That's a decent idea - and I'm also looking at a pair of 5.0 mids in rotation.

99 problems and the team is one

Alexander-Arnold, Maguire, Stones, Pogba
Kane (vc), Kamara ? All unlikely to start GW1

Kane scores for fun in August! Has to be the worst example I've seen on here

You mean like Salah and Aguero/Auba to Sanchez/Hazard/KDB and Kane?

Some bizarre FOMO thought process on here right now.

If Kane scores for fun in August, Salah might also do the same though. And if Salah doesn’t, it might still be a bad transfer if Salah is looking sharp.

I'd upgrade Firmino and downgrade one of my mids...easy

Would be Eriksen and Auba to Kane and Ramsey for me

Oof. This got shut down pretty quickly... but I still think the point stands.

This isn’t a buy and hold game, especially at the beginning of the season. Being able to switch in and out whilst the template gets established is pretty important. Salah allows this.

Midfield looks goaltastic

0.5 Itb

downgrade PVA to a 5.0 or 4.5 maybe sakho as he is a bonus magnet. then upgrade kamara, apart from that its decent few good punts in there

Love it.

Thinking about doing a similar team with Siggy

Martial and Sanchez is probably Man U overkill

Think just one of Martial or Sanchez is enough. United attack is still an issue

Already own martial too.

Make your case.

bee

Wolves 4m defender who's actually likely to start.

4.0 Wolves CB who looks pretty nailed

C A B for me

cba

ACB

CBA

Thanks all. C and A seem to be the two winners

Taa wont play get clyne

It's a rumour I actually expect to happen, along with Higuain.

Like it all other than Morata. And go Jota instead of Pedro

solid

wouldn't double up on 2 man u defenders that aren't nailed. i doubt mourinho will stand by his words of a few days ago

Ramsey better option than Miki?

Europa league always impacts pl even with a big squad

Ought to be. I think the received wisdom is due to Europa Thursday night games they'll be exhausted or rotated. I think with it being the start of the season it shouldn't be an issue, particularly for Tarks and Mee. In fact they'll be battle-hardened from GW1 unlike other defenders.

Cairney the last one..

Looks fine

dont like the fwds or martial. would have 4m gk as back up
the rest is as good as any

I’ve both

Some say Sane, others say Mahrez. I say both.

So tough to second guess Pep. If I were to guess I'd say Sane will get more minutes.

niether, but if forced to choose king has better fixtures
