      That bracket is as almost stacked as mid price strikers

      Ayling, Lamptey, White, Taylor, Coady, Fofana, Aarons - Honestly wasn't expecting any of them to be 4.5... 5.0 would have been fair based on how they priced defenders last year

      The problem is Justin, Coufal & Tierney at only 0.5 more...

      And then Shaw, Digne, Cresswell at only 0.5 more again...

        Do you think there's a 4.5 who could potentially match Shaw/ Digne/Cresswell? (Not Fofana)

      Not sure I agree with a regular going into next season.

      I expect(hope) WH to add depth in defense and attack - so Masuaka's position will depend on whether they play with him as a wing back or wide mid.

      I could easily see Fredericks getting more run - then add in Coufal, Cresswell, Diop, Ogbonna - plus reinforcements.

      I suspect Moyes will try out a few things in pre-season.

      They should have a very early start with Europa qualifying so should be able to see before the league starts

      Not sure how West ham will handle Europe tbh... Not sure they've got the squad to compete on two fronts

        Would rather an early Euro-knockout and a 6-8 finish in the Prem again than a deep Euro-run and a bottom 10 finish (i think...i don't know....just not a relegation scrap please)

                  You are thinking the defenders touch was a second “deflection”. It wasn’t a deflection, he has kicked it into his own net, I’m not sure why you don’t understand this. Irrelevant that it was going on target before he has kicked the ball in? It’s not a deflection he has kicked it intentionally trying to clear it and it’s gone into his own net. Literally the definition of an own goal

                    Shot on target by defender - keeper touches it but doesnt change direction and ball still going in net - defender touches it and doesnt change direction and still going in net. At no point is it going off target so defender touch changed nothing in the fact was heading in goal.

                      “defender touches it and doesnt change direction” I think you are just trolling now. Have I taken the bait?

                      So for arguments sake let’s have a hypothetical situation here. You have the ball and there is nobody in goal or even in the box for arguments sake. You take a shot. As it’s rolling in a defender runs up and kicks the ball into the net. Not an OG because the shot was on target anyway????

          Even the UEFA, official and referee state that goal is an own goal.
          How come a mere game could do against it.

          I wouldn't worry too much about ownership for cheaper players before the season starts. I think your strategy of 3 mids and 3 strikers could work it's a fun risk. All 3 strikers are good picks in their own right.

      1. Forsberg as nailed
      2. I would given the draw. Benzema, Lukaku and Malen are my 3
      3. Yep
      4. Probably Italian. French defenders highly priced with little attacking threat. My backline is:

      Spin / Dumfries / Alba / Meunier / Mahele
      Donna / Stek
