The draft will be ripped apart in 1 hour once Manc clubs blank is confirmed.

Very tempted. On paper should be great, in reality probably not.

I can see that working. Only problem is you don't have elite captain pick options.

not me. I want the safety blanket of a Salah/Sterling/Kun captain

Looks like an early WC to me

Me for this strat

Doesn’t feel “all” premium to me without KDB, Sarah, Mane, Aguero, Sterling, Auba, Kane ....it just looks like you’ve spent too much on defence.

If you Do Ederson to Ryan and Laporte to Taylor, you can do Son to Salah/Auba/KDB. That would be interesting

That's a 0 premium team

*eyes on the clock, hardly blinking

Every clock is broken twice a day

Quote from someone from here, best I've heard

Utd?

please share your team.. need to finish in top 4k

Same 🙂

B .. would take a GW1 punt

Keep him in GW2, always

I wont own him anyway

Needs fixtures to try anything. It would be great if united-liverpool and city-chelsea are week 1 fixtures.

100mn would be more than enough then for gw1

Either A or assess him on his merits down the line.

Would not be looking to book transfers in

B probably

B

City DO blank GW1......I mentioned this about 10 hours ago.

WHU home to Newcastle

Super stuff by arsenal. They have gone almost in a liverpool way this time
Contrast Arteta to ole, who is still trying to get one player when it was very clear which positions needed cover

How good is he? Better than Saliba?

Does that make Arsenal defence a minefield?

Magalhaes, Saliba, Luiz, Holding, Mustafi fighting for 2 or 3 spots

He'll be 5.0, sadly.

Sheffield last time were defensively strong also because of Dean. Would have to see how much they digress once ramsdale comes in for Dean

I'll probable go for him at 5.0m

Will give you 50/1 on him being 4.5

Yes thinking 120-130 points, the extra money to upgrade say a 4.5 mid to 5.5 however could be a game changer if someone like ASM takes off

Button got 15 in 18/19 so 119, bit meh tbh when we want 150 but yeah, around 140 will do with no trannies.

Yep ryan button is very good combo for 8.5 especially when fixtures are good with some form with them defence.

But be flexible and open to jump to a wagon if they hit a bad patch.

Exactly how I’ve looked at it. McCarthy is the other option where Southampton may be better option than Brighton if end of season form continues. Also need to check Ramsdales price when added.

He is a very good option and nice to get his understudy for 4.0 but think I may go McCarthy as I think Saints are improving and should keep more clean sheets

$8.5m

Not nailed. Peproulette is a huge risk

He will come in at that price. @4.5 everyone would have him and @5.5. most would have Pope in all likelihood. I'll be amazed if he's not 5.0

If the 4.5's can get 135-145, nah, save the half.

.... but to answer your question - yes, he's a possible option. (Egan is also 5.0 for SHU)

Tough indeed

* removes Antonio & Soucek

Soucek bandwagon derailed

Nah, only Leicester away looks tough, the rest 3point bankers. top of the league by GW5

Nooooo

Good for GW1 before the GW2 WC

Great GW 1
Newcastle are pathetic at set plays.

Locked IN the 11

Very happy with my squad but Soucek has to be in it to work so I'll go for him anyway.

Those are decent fixtures, a team like west ham won't have many great runs of 5 fixtures at any point.

Indeed. Really really need kind fixtures for soton as I'm considering McCarthy and Adams highly

I'm in tears..

Auba © locked IN

Aubs 1st 2 games then dump...

Auba & switch to city/utd after

Aubaaaaaa

I'm practicing already

Fake? Don't see the reverse Spurs fixture

GW3 to GW7 is brutal so only a short term option.

Auba being Auba - that'll likely be:

ful - 2
WHM - 5
liv - 13
SHU - 2
mci - 12
LEI - 7
MUN - 13
AVL - 2
lee - 2
WOL - 7

etc
etc

You excited?

Site is going to crash

At least they will be RMTs based on proper info now.

30 minutes until I realise I’ve wasted hours of my time over the last few days

Extra rest after European matches

Just got back from European competitions

Can theoretically get a 30-day gap between seasons, but only if they don't have a preseason or play for their counties in the Nations League.

They slept in

And if not why not, I want my money back

Only two to shift around - doable

Last year's

good fixture to start with..

Werner/Ziyech double-up essential then.

Ryan save points get in!

Will be interesting to see how stubborn/in denial those that have spent weeks finalising drafts pre-fixtures are going to be.

All out Attack is back

Really in first week, what do you want the team to revert in gw2. Last year's?

Not available until GW2.

They don't like you. You've been hit with a free hit chip exclusion ban

You lost your wildcard too. Unlucky

Silly me 🙂

You can't FH and go back to your GW38+ team.

Yeah I realise the stupidity now 🙂

That means two Monday night matches.

MNF then?

Yep, still GW1.

Westham fixtures according to @ExWHUemployee

Newcastle (H)
Arsenal (A)
Wolves (H)
Leicester (A)
Spurs (A)

I think you'll find it's 11 mins

Says absolutely everyone

Is that the local strip bar?

Yeah same. I am ready!
