Lacks Salah

That's my plan. Perfect fixtures but the midfield is such a minefield you are better off going for those 3 options and wait for a midfielder to prove to be nailed.

ive got wb and schlupp at the mo......tempted to downgrade schlupp 😕

0.5 is so valuable now

PVA, AWB and Schlupp here

You should have him my child. But when only you can decide.

3 = wet behind the ears.

and 8? I only listen to 10s

And here is why the badge system is irrelevant. Any joker gets an ego due to longevity over competency.

Salah, whoooo the f- is that fella 😉

I look first for subscriber badge then number

yes 😛

No but don’t fancy Davies as likely to play central defender first couple of games in weakened Spurs side

Walker over Bavies and mmmmm yeah

I have those three and Shaw :/

Nah not too much if you are happy with your team

You would think Wilson is first choice but Defoe is on a lot of money, had loads of injury problems and is a far better finisher. Surely just go King as he is a safer and more explosive pick.

I've seen people try this but don't know how it works out in the end. I remember a guy with no transfers made was in the Top 10 in GW 10-12 last season.

Seems like injuries would decide this every time.

A with King instead of Wood

Arnie and Cairney

B for me

B for me

B

A

D) Patricio Foster

Will be 9.3 by the first international break.

cant have em all

Sheep ! 😆

Sheeeeeep

Quack quack!

KDB next in line and he's not even playing GW 1...

Schlug to start with, but Cedric long term. Cedric is ill at the moment, hasn't started a pre-season game.

Schlupp

Cedrick rubish, Southampton are poor and their manager is too.

cheers dudes

Beautiful.

I'm loving Tosun as a pick, particularly with Richarlison, Walcott, Bernard, Siggy, Coleman and Baines supplying him.

Probably not but been quiet enough in preseason. I think Niasse did ok and Silva picked him for Hull.

No particular reason. He's still in mine.

2 out of Zaha/Arnie/King is the doomed new template.

Just Everton's form I think. If they can turn it round, with those fixtures any of their attack could be bargain.

If.

Worse pick than Zaha and Arnie

Bought as a backup.

How did you get a NINE?! Do you have photos of Mark playing golf with the devil? 😉

i usually feel dread immediately after excitement

It's time to share so we can copy 🙂

You are right Sir!

Personally wouldn't want two 4.0s, especially when your third is cedric

One of the 4's needs to turn in to a 4.5.

Well, it doesn't, but you know the risks.

don't return help... just answer any Qs you think you've decent input on

Re: your Q: Cedric is a doubt early on I think. Mendy & Robertson look great picks but if by chance either are rested/dropped/rotated are your 4mil lads gonna be playing? I'd like 1 4.5 there as safety

Not balanced, but it's exactly what I have at the moment

shame he doesn't spend more time learning to pass the ball

Richarlison > Barkley done.

Footballer puts in more than the absolute minimum to do what hes being paid millions for shocker

£100k a week damn right he makes some effort

*Gibson

As good as any team I’ve seen, some punts but could go very well

It's either him and Tosun or Charlison and Wilson for me. On the latter at the moment as Fraser trolled me by getting benched every now and then 2 seasons ago. Don't really know of his chances this season but preseason tells that he did well.

Yes if you can afford .5 more than template midfield options like Cairney, Neves etc.

He's a bit of a troll tbh mate. I also had him last year at the start!

Bmth season ticket holder - he's pretty hot and cold.

Possibly but not for long at all

Yep, I think so. At least GW1. If I knew he was to start GW2 also then I think I'd get him.

First week only maybe.

Thanks all

I just don’t feel comfortable going with him when Chelsea play a back 4.

I think Sarri will give youngsters more chance to play than Luiz

Confident, hes a good option, if chelsea hit the ground running fast he wont be dropped. If he is, get rid, simples, make sure you have a solid 4th, 5th def as backup

Sarri has certainly bigged him up as a ‘key player’ think it’ll be him and Rüdiger as the CB’s, hoping a new GK is signed and priced at 5m as that’ll be a nice cheap route into a DF I reckon will keep plenty of CS’s

I mean, its different. Although there's a lot of wasted mulla in there, Fabianski Neves Cairney etc

I'd pay the extra 2.5m to double your Sanchez points 🙂

Don't see where this gains over Salah teams.

Tomkins

I’d rather go double Palace than any of those. Cedric may not start and Southampton look poor defensively. Bournemouth are always poor defensively. Can’t you stretch to a 5.0 and get Digne or TAA?
