        Totally on the set and forget. So much pain throughout the season picking the right one according to the fixture but you end up with 14pts on the bench

            And it's not just once in the season. It happens a lot! Set and forget takes that added stress factor out of it.

          There was an article that stated that spending extra on a keeper paid off. By 'Hedge'. I am on Ddg at present. Would prefer Awb as my Manu def but then would have only 2 City and we can't do that.

            I worry for spurs at the minute. If utd do get off to a good start it could be a struggle.

            Chelsea is anyone's guess really.

            I agree on arsenal though. 1 or 2 players away from a very promising team.

                I'm a pessimist. Teams often start one season as they finished the last, and we were struggling.

                Eriksen is a big void to fill if he goes.

        He’s in the game so obviously he’s an option.

        Probably, maybe not immediately though.

      On this with a spicy 0.5 ITB

      Heaton
      VVD | TAA | Digne | Montoya
      Sterling | Salah | McGinn | Perez
      Auba | King

      4.0 - 4.5 - 4.0 - 4.0

      What would you do with the extra cash?
      A) Upgrade 4.0 to Pope for rotation
      B) Upgrade 4.0 def to 4.5 def (Guilbert) for backup on bench
      C) VVD --> Robbo
      D) McGinn --> Trossard
      E) Other

        Strikers long term would worry me.

        I think you need at least one premium possibly with 4.5 mid and keeper.

      What do people think of the prospect of having a 5.5 defender on the bench?

      Thinking of getting Rose rather than KWP, as I reckon the only advantage of having a spurs defender is when they can play GW 1,3,5 , whereas if we're unlucky KWP might not even get to GW 3...

        With davies and sessegnon, rose is no more nailed.

          Hadn't even considered he'd have competitors! Forgot about the sessegnon transfer
