    RMT please

    Sanchez (Foster)
    Shaw Cash Tsimkas (White Reguillon)
    Bruno Salah Jota Son Barnes
    Antonio Toney (4.5)

    Was also thinking a 6.0 mid instead of Barnes and then upgrade Reguillon to Dias?
    Any help appreciated!

    Thoughts on this

    Sanchez/Forster

    Shaw, Digne, White, Lowton, Amartey

    Salah, Sancho, Havertz, Grealish, ESR

    Toney, Kane/Lukaku, Obafemi

    I would prefer 3-5-2, or 4-5-1

    What is everyone's opinion on low value bench vs value spread across the squad. Pros and Cons for both but would be good to hear the general consensus on approach. I have always had a fairly mid value bench so I can rotate without transfers but had a shocker last season so I am open to changes.

      I prefer low value bench personally, easier to go all out. For the bench fodder I aim for starters with some zing in em

      I like to have a usable bench too, if only because it's more fun. However, I also had a shocker last year...!

    In case anyone's not settled on a team name yet, these are certified fresh and free to good homes.

    Which 2 to go for in GW1 out of Son, Havertz and Mahrez. Planning on going with Havertz and then moving to Son/Mahrez in GW2, just don't know about the 2nd slot for GW1 (Son/Mahrez).

      I agree, you can skim read the best bits rather than watch hours of footage which I don't...

      Guess it's ad revenue dreams?

    RMT / New to Soccer... I mean Football, with this lineup did I select the right bench players?
    Sanchez
    Ben White , Trent Alexander-Arnold , Luke Shaw , Tsimikas
    Son , Salah , Fernandes , Raphael Dias Belloli
    Antonio , Ings
    BENCH: McGovern , Obafemi , Brownhill , Veltman

    1. Coumbe

      Is the 4 / 4 / 2 Formation OK?

    Thoughts appreciated.

    Sanchez Begovic

    White Ayling Tsimikas Bertrand Shaw

    Townsend Barnes Salah Son Havertz

    DCL Wilson Antonio

    £1.5m ITB to enable Havertz and any of the three strikers to Kane/Lukaku plus emerging cheap midfielder in a week or two.
