It's evening for some

Lights up, sees 420 at the top of the page and knows it's gonna be a beautiful day. Good morning to you sir.

Its 16.19 here, around the time you post its 15.02 hehe

He is currently - just need to watch for transfer activity.

Apparently he is a slightly worse version of Douglas - inferior delivery, but a good option at the price.

Might be yeah. Douglas the better option tho.

Coz he woz da boss

As you said, bit light at the back. Pretty good though.

Sanchez can go to Mkhi/Ramsey/Martial/Willian - easily worth the extra £3.0 to be invested elsewhere

Nice.

Are we sure on Shaws gametime?

Begovic - Fabs

Zaha doesn't take corners for Palace.

Cheers Donald, really helpful

I’ve gone for Hughes but lots of love here for Costa and Cairney too

I'm on Hughes and/or Costa (perhaps better option than Neves?)

Plenty of other decent options to consider: Cairney, Ralls, Kenedy etc.

Hughes

Nice. Looks well balanced. Maybe swap Og for a playing 4.0 (eg Bennett) and Stephens for a 5.0 to give a better bench rotation?

B but lots of love for Jota on here too

Most on here would say A.
I like the Mili pick, on most set pieces and pens

A

good luck without him my friend. 😉

I’m going with him for the start, if he doesn’t perform then it’s an easy downgrade, much more difficult to get him in once the season starts unless you wildcard or take hits

Nah, who needs the top point scorer in FPL and top goal scorer of the PL of all time.

He's not in every RMT

I used to think that, then I did some calculations and it turns out he is. Certainly a Salah-free squad looks better on paper. Question is, do you really want to turn down 300 points from one player? That's 600 if captained which is about 25% of the points you need to get a really high rank.

Plus, if you bring him in with 2FT, it probably means you'll also bring in bench fodder, whereas getting him now means you can build a decent and balanced squad around him.

Same every pre-season, the top player from previous one is touted as essential by everyone, until said player fails to live up to his previous high standards. Last Season it was Aguero, season before that it was Mahrez.
Trick is to find the player that will be this season's best performer before everyone else. (Aubameyang)

A with Hughes

Ive gone A with Cairney as per my below RMT.

How much u got in the bank?

No Salah

Have you hacked my PC?!? 🙂

Fab
Cedric Robertson PvA Mandy
Mane Sane Eriksen
Auba Firmino Tosun

4.0 Neves/Jorghino Stephens Peletier

Eriksen may yet become Mahrez! I think the triple Liverpool covers Salah. Cedric/5.0 mid to rotate. I think Jorghino could actually be value at the price.

I have a sneaky feeling TAA will start GW1.

For me, no he's not. Despite the fact that 6m is a fair price for him.

Just that he won't start gw1 is putting me off lovren, only nailed other options are £6m and Robertson is more attacking than vvd

I think he is. He’s a simply electric player. The best is yet to come from Robertson this year.

Very nice

I've recently switched Firmino and Mhiki to Mane and Arnie.

Worth considering?

V.nice

No - think Aubameyang should be able to provide better value than Kane this year.

No, he's overpriced

Yes - I’m probably starting with Aubameyang and Agüero, so if one of those is underperforming, I shouldn’t have to move hell and earth to find the money for an upgrade.

If he’s starting gw1 I’m getting him in

Yes - have Auba and Aguero with 1.5m ITB ready

No he is a fraud that is carrying injury and have no self respect(daughters life - case ).

A, well at least for the 2 first GW's I think.

B I think.

Not sure about Bailly. He looked great a couple of seasons ago, was not quite as strong last year, plus had a massive injury.

Man Utd looking likely to sign a new centre back. If they don’t, come deadline day, then perhaps Bailly would be the way to go. But right now he’s as risky as Shaw.

LW

Goalscorer.

Forward

Similar to last season when Laca was on the field, plays out wide left of Laca but still very very dangerous. Wouldn't be put off by it in the slightest, class act, although I'm starting with Kun!

You're always going to bench one player 5.5 + which doesn't feel particularly effective

Sounds like your going to have a lot of money sat on the bench, I would downgrade one of those defenders to Wan-Bissaka and balance it out a bit more.

Mikhi is so inconsistent. His price is great though. I'd be tempted to watch Mikhi in his first two tough fixtures and start with Martial where he's nailed, with the view of switching them when United's WC players return and arsenal's fixtures improve

Austin/Wood + Arnie/Zaha

Arny and Wood.

But you should find 0.5 for Arny and Tosun.

Could be Tosun and Austin but keep an eye on Mitrovic.

Sounds like Kane/De Bruyne last season - worth sticking with.

Even if I own Salah, I'll be posting that.

If he doesn't do well in the first 4 weeks, it's a no-brainer to sell him in GW5

think Salah could be the new Kane ie; how long do you hold on before you drop him.

With Salah price and fixtures I will give him 3 GWs.
.

3 GWs

I made that mistake with KDB last season, shipped on a gw4 wildcard then he started killing it.

If Salah does blank for the first 2/3 games as long as he’s getting the chances and in the positions to score then I’d hold

At least 5/6 weeks. If there were other options which were smashing it I would consider (E.g. Sanchez was tearing it up). I would probably keep the money in the bank for a bit though just to make sure i didn't get caught out of he picked up form again.

Really depends on who else is scoring

Same story with Kane last year. I held my ground and captained him for his brace and assist (I think) against Huddersfield.

Vestergaard

Lovren unlikely to make the start of the season and Kola might lose out to Monreal in a back four.

I’m on Douglas and Shaw.

Hopefully Trent will feature regularly. My eyes are on him. Lovren also could be an excellent shout. Liverpool’s defence is priced so much more kindly than someone like Spurs.

Kola I will also monitor. Poor opening fixtures and a new manager are the biggest question marks on that dude.

thanks: SKL/Greg/TheD

I agree

Midfield is really light and u don’t need a 4.5m keeper with Ederson in your team

Sell Patricio save 0.5ml play Ederson week in and out even if he gets injury it be easy to find replacement for 5.5ml.

B

The one without Kane

Schurrle not?!!!

Would be one hell of a signing.

hope he's classified MID at 7.0 max

Wowser! I heard he was off to the Premier League but there was no mention of which club.

Imagine Schurrle and Zaha feeding Sorloth 😮

In London to talk to both Palace and Fulham apparently.
