Nyland... Bissouma Taylor Ferguson

Looks good. Nah you will have to get another 4.5 when Saliba doesn’t start the Charity Shield 🙂

Capping Auba for the first 2 weeks? And probably KDB from GW3.

Do you really need Salah?

Rookie question- who is ASM?

Not proben in the league, avoid

Salah Auba Mane will be differentials.
Messi with 8-9 millions will be the way to go I guess

Thought about him briefly. Rather have Bruno for £1m more or Martial for 0.5m less.

Greenwood on the opposite flank for 2m less

That would be stupid move for Man City 😀

Give oldie for an oldie, Kun in exchange of Messi.

Isn't messi free to leave?

In which case how would it be part of a deal?

looking for regular playing time and would be fantasy gold if it happens..

That would be awesome. If they successfully sign Dalot, Doucoure, Allan and him, perfect window!

A

A

With his pedigree, probably.
Even when rotated, probably still worth it. Maybe combine him with Foden.

Anything more than 10 would be too much.

12 .. he is not proven in PL yet

We've already agreed 6.5m

13 or 13.5

4.5. Great now Dendoncker has gone up.

13m midfield makes sense.

11.5 forward

15M MID

Better stats than Salah 16/17 I think

KWP not nailed, they still have Valery

Lamptey ?

Yeh looks decent.

Not very flexible team.

If ManUtd or Chelsea hit form you'll have to WC.

Me too. Could be anice differential..

Do you have him?

Will be rotated

He's WBA good

Vinnie out

Not done yet. And if he comes i wont be getting unless price is right. For me 10.5/11mill is what he should be.

Yup
No salah will be the way to go then .... 😀

What if one of your other players gets injured or gets a red card?

Doesn't matter whether it's early or not, a hit is still a hit. Up to you whether you want to take take the risk, I'd just keep Salah and Armstrong

That's probably the one scenario where I would take a hit

If you HAVE to take hits (and you're not planning an early WC) then very early in the season is probably the time to do it imo. Remove glaring errors & injuries, import obvious Michus etc. A bit like setting out on a long journey in the wrong direction ... an early rectification is the most efficient.

I expect Lamptey will get more attacking returns at wingback

A for me

Wow that's very attack happy

Nice

I have a decent draft with Bruno and Martial in.
So it can be done for one week if you can stomach benching a lot .

Lindelof wtf

Are you 11 years old?

Those numbers are exaggerated but he's definitely capable of 20+ goals and 20+ assists. At anything less than 15m he is in 90% of all teams.

You're thinking of 30 year old Messi.

He's well past his prime.

He will have opposition. If he plays against a team with no GK and only 1 defender then i agree with you.

He won’t be 17m. He’d be outpriced.
He needs to be at a price where you ask yourself “ Is he a value pick?”

Ayling, Taylor, Bednarek

I'd downgrade Ings to Adams/Mitro and upgrade Bissouma/Vinagre. So far we understand,Vinagre & Ferguson are not sure starter. If both don't start, you will have to take massive hit to fix your team

If messi wants to leave barca have to let him go. To get into a battle with a club legend who has won them so many titles is not good for anyone

It depends on the text of the agreement. I heard it says "two weeks after the Champions' League final".

Inter is more likely. Typical British bias assuming every star player always immediately will sign in England.

Constantly proven wrong yet the press and people never seem to adjust their inflated expectations.

Eh, there is the issue of his 650k per week salary

Yes

City are also signing VVD & Klopp is going to Barca too apaprently

Allison+Cash to get DDG+Lingard

Probably. Given how dumb United have been in the transfer window, I can well believe they're wasting their time on this.

I dont like either option, but if pushed I would say B
