Looks good

No Vardy, no party.

Go with King for first two

youll never captain kane, waste of £

Boy that defence really suffers as a result

eejnyz

Subtle brag

B

B if Perez is your only LEI attack

Oh and Inter apparently. Yikes!

I agree maybe we should all be WCing in GW3 :O

Anyone picking Origi needs to be prepared to play their WC early but they could hit the ground running if he hauls GW1. Wouldn't be surprised if he started GW2 as well.

Locked in. Plan to wildcard in GW2 anyway

I am not doing it but there is a way round it. 2 ways actually.
1) have 12 decent players for starting 11 and save the tfr.
2) Wildcard early. A lot will be doing after week 4

Maybe 7.5? He's going to be the main striker at West Ham with no real rotation worries. Could be an interesting option, I've not seen him play but reports are that he's very good.

6.5 I’d guess

7/7.5m.

7 or 7.5

I am considering holding a place for him using Giroud - if he is over 7.0 I wouldn't want him anyway

Anything less than 7.5 is silly. He's incredibly good.

Late bid come in from Inter Milan deal not over the line yet.... 🙁

They made the chair more interesting than the player.

Love it. Great club and a humble city with decent people. Only place I've ever lived with virtually zero tories - which is a relief.

That's a lovely chair - good strong wicker

The bloke that sat on it doesn't do it any favours though

B

B because Vardy and def prefer Digne vs Coleman

Thanks guys! It was pretty clear

I like it. Nice team.

If Giroud starts every week for Chelsea he's going straight in my team.

Oh I have King and not Deulofeu btw

Zaha DCL > 6.5's

Not a fan of Ryan, DCL...

Why is Ryan in nearly every team. Brighton relegation favourites surely

Pretty much the 'template' team.

B love the Lucas move

Hard to judge without knowing what you would use the cash for in B but not knowing that I would have to go A

Fraser Wilson > Maddy Vardy GW3

Will Maddison be in Leicester squad or still on leave after Euros?

Only Jorginho the weak link tbf

That's not bad at all actually. I prefer the balance of just having two of them but if you really want all three that's about as good as it gets.

It's actually alright apart from Zin and Jorg

I assume you've got zilch on the bench. I would go Kane > Vardy to upgrade Jorg to a 6.5.
If you need cash for playing subs, Digne could > Coleman.

Not if it means you have to start players like Jorginho every week

2 seems fine to me at the start

You need two for captaincy option in my ability, perma captain is a tough one.

I don’t get why it wouldn’t be. “I have Salah who I will captain every week so no point in owning Kane”. If he is scoring you points what’s the issue?

As long as you make up the 200+ pts you lose by not owning him.

Pens, some corners and free kicks. Salah definitely justifies the extra

AFCON

Thanks chaps, Mane-tinted glasses after owning last year instead of Salah

I will personally be doing that, with a view to spreading the funds after my first wildcard and getting a solid bench.

The bench that is, not with Zinch.

With a month to go, it's a fair assumption he'll start. If he doesn't there's plenty time to amend.

They are only temporary drafts at the moment. We will all be watching ore season and the community shield to see if he is first choice come the start of the season. If it’s still unclear then I’m sure most will ship.

You should definitely have cover for most of the downpriced options. I see a lot of teams squeezing in many premiums by having Zinch, Perez, Yarmo etc. You cant have these players with no bench or youre taking a large risk. Personally I have a 6.0 striker/mid first on the bench. feels safer.

VVD got 200+ points vs. Deu's 133

It's excellent, but the weakness you point out is serious, but can be easily rectified.
Robbo or TAA > VVD and/or Digne > Coleman frees up cash to strengthen your bench.

Bit worried about Zaha. There's some uncertainty around his future, and he has said he wants to move. I'd be worried as an owner. Kelly is probably the most likely of the two 4.0 defenders to get gametime.I think Deeney is better value as he's also on penalties.

How's this for a team of proven performers? Not sure about the dubble Leicester but the rest are no-headache picks. Thought about King for a long time but I started the season with him last year and he was infuriating so I'm staying clear.

Pope
Robbo - TAA - Coleman - Dunk
Salah - Richarlison - Perez - Maddison
Aguero - Wilson

(4.0 - Romeu - Diop - Surridge)

Fraser

I'd pick Brooks. That 1 mil can do so much

Wait for Fraser to sign for Arsenal then Brooks will be an even better option!

where is kane?

Robbo to VVD or Digne to Coleman , upgrade dunk

Do you want me to get the nurse?

Robbo to TAA

Too much money for a backup keeper. 4.0 or nothing. Could use that money on upgrading Coleman to Digne who's on free kicks. Not sure on BSilva gametime with KDB back.

Alisson to Ederson, Walker to VVD, Maddison to Perez/Tielemans. Not too keen on BSilva either

Mmmmm, lots of numbers.
Couldn't you add them up and just give a rank order?

Iwobi 😉

Great work Doosra. I need to renew my membership to check this out! I should probably update my Post Name too 🙁

Hope all is well at your end!

Cathcart

CTaylor or Diop

It's all subjective. Cathcart is a popular pick.

"least shite" rather than "best" is probably the question - one of the West Ham boys maybe at the moment, but hopefully better options will emerge as pre-season progresses (if Dunk goes to Leicester for example).

I like O'Connel. Bernardo if Potter can improve Brighton's defense after Hughton's shocking last season.

Immediate, GW2 or long term?

Cathcart, El Mohamady and Diop, perhaps.

🙁
