I'm thinking Ward from Cardiff but is he nailed?

gunnarsson imo

Nope. Playing safe with Stephens. Can't expect anything for 4.5m.

Stephens most nailed followed Musuaka

I hate all the 4.5 players this year. Holebas.

No magic beans this year
Go 5.0 or go home

Mane

Mane

mane for me the first pick this season

Mane but my badge only says 2

Eriksen.

Mane

Mane

Mane for at least 4 GWs

Competition

Explain your team

Kamara won't start

He probably will.

And don't call me Schurrle.

Dont call me Shirley.

Yup but his record from last year isnt best. He is 27 year old guy who can do quite well in Fuhlam. A punt but at 6.0 not bad pick. I wsould go 6.5 Richa or Jota if you can but at 6.0 he is not bad imo

Best of luck

if he starts at 6.0

do it then

Would love to be 4,000,000 overall rank at the end of Gameweek 2 basically.

Gelling period required

What's the logic?

Haven’t had a team without salah yet but it’s tempting

don't see the point seeing as kane pretty much same price

Kane might not start gw1, firmino too. Very risky not to start with Salah, giving the fixtures.

Mane

Sane or Mahrez.

It is tough because Salah is a good cover, but I want more points given Liverpool's fixtures. Man City is explosive and I want Sane. Aguero does not feel like enough cover because of rotation with Jesus, that is why I want to add Sane (rotation risk as well). Maybe the safest option is adding Sane or Mahrez.

of course he's worth it. Legend

Mainstay in my team since opening.

If Jesus plays until he's a million he'll never be on Aguero's level. Has done little to live up to the hype just yet.

dominant aye. But I always seemed to miss the City players' purple patches. So I might just ignore everyone except defence and KDB from them

He's clearly worth it

they've not got a badge big enough for mine

Absoutely. Mine comes with a microscope.

Agreed

100%

I've been on the site for years, but I'm semi casual - there are people who will have done well for say 3 years in top ranks of HOF who are leagues above me in terms of knowledge but if for some reason there views arent as respected I just think it creates a heirachy of average individuals and I would much rather hear views from the players who are absolute mustard!

Yea but F all the badges!

I don’t see the necessity for any badges. It compartmentalises people when we are all here with the same goal to do well at a game we love. Same goes with the gravs - it’s always been apparent that people are given preferential treatment based on their technological abilities.

Number of upvotes even more relevant. Better still if they change the upvote system to have a "good contribution" upvote as well as a "like" upvote, or something like that, and you could have those displayed next to your name. That's essentially the information people want regarding a poster's legitimacy, right?

D, I’m going for PVA

A for now i guess. I switched Shaw out for him.

Im on Shaw will probably have to sell after first 2 games

5.5 - Luiz/Bailly(if fit) or PVA

5 - Shaw until gw3 then change to Kolasinic if playing or get .5 to get Bellerin then. I think Mawson will do well at 5m.

How is minutes per save at all relevant when comparing between Stoke and Chelsea?

5.5m for sure.

Butland won't be able to beleive his luck 😐

probably get him for about £3.50 after Sunday's performance

Must be 5.5 IMO

All answers from "people with a 5 or over badge" 😆

Yes it is. Or even Shaw and save the half mill - especially if you plan to WC early.

That’s a hard ‘no’

Jota for me, Maddison’s not even entered my thinking.

I feel like if any championship player will step up it will be Maddison

Maddison doubtful for GW1

I think Mad would be a lot more popular if it wasn't for the first fixture.

Jota is a class above. Maddison injured last pre season but might be ok. Rich had horrible conversion rate and 21 games since last league goal or assist but he's back with Silva or something

I had Jota and Maddison but dropped Maddison for premium mid instead of 2 premium strikers

How about Max Meyer? Could be feeding Zaha a few goals and saves 0.5.

I'm torn between Jota and Richarlison...

good as reason as any

* on end of some crosses!

I keep thinking that TAA + 1m beats both but every time I come on here all I see is these 2.

Last season he missed plenty of headers in the box .

Yes. However, who do you bring into Zaha’s place? The 9m price point has nothing of interest

Thanks for replies I should have done

A. Zaha + Stephens + .5
B. Bilva Kamara

They will still be average

Depends on his attitude. Even then I don’t think he offers much more.

We cannot speak our language, but he is a beast 🙂 Come to RedStar! hahahha

Risky af 😀

Me too, but i wanna Liverpool 😀

Treatment table

Centre mid, not really CAM. He's not got a great track record with goals, assists or injuries so I don't fancy him, could be a great differential though who knows 🙂

He may be good value when he's back fit and in the squad, one to look at on the wildcard I think 🙂

Not so sure since they got Mahrez now. Otherwise I would say yes.

Will have to see if his role is the same this year

not over Luiz for me

Wouldn't think so. Too early to be anyway sure. A punt this early is risky I think. Good luck either way

Better options at 6M
One to monitor for sure

None would rather Kamara at 4.5 although if Andone starts and does well could be great option

Apparently so

Looks likely

only if you insult him

No, there are cheaper penalty takers

always under rated and picks up points, if hes still on pens and Zaha hangs around to earn a few hes good value for money

Rather Tosun Everton coverage than Siggy and Salah over Firmino
