Nice spread of funds. Don't like Bruno G though, much rather Martinelli

Depends when you plan to WC.
Jesus and Haaland could cause havoc early on.

Definitely different, I like it. Would be wary of no City attack but can't have them all, really like Vardy in particular, tends to start well and I think Leicester could have a decent season if they can make an addition or two, having a more settled defence will help. I'd just keep an eye on things at Newcastle regarding Bruno G, I had him during his good spell last season but it coincided with Willock getting injured twice so he seemed to have attacking responsibility while Shelvey and Joelinton sat in deeper. If Willock is fit and looks like he'll start or if Newcastle sign an attacking midfielder then I'd probably give him a miss as I expect he'll do what he did when he first got into the team and do a box-to-box job but with less attacking intent

More value in the 8ms over Sterling I reckon, my no Salah team below.

Looks quite strong to be fair. However, I do feel it would be stronger without Nunez. You could downgrade him to a scrub, add an 8m mid, and use the 1m saving to upgrade Cash to James or Chilwell.

Good forward line. Nunez a punt but could be gold. Bit of a differential really. No spurs (attack) could hurt slightly.

Surely you need an attacking spurs player what with their opening fixtures?

I’m a Liverpool fan and I think Nunez will be class, but I’d be very cautious of picking him early. I’d personally swap him and Rice out for and Sancho a 4.5 striker, and then maybe use the extra money to upgrade Raya to Alisson or something?

Thanks all for the thoughts. Really appreciated.
I will try to find a way to get Son/Kane.

Really nice

Take out Nunez and Rice.

You could try Wilson, Johnson or Mitrovic for the third striker spot if you are set on a 4-3-3.

Rice needs to be fodder, save yourself the 0.5 it will be handy.

Sterling and ASM can become Son/Salah and a 5/6/7.0 mid or two good 8.0 mids.

Alternatively take Sterling down to an 8.0 mid then upgrade Nunez to Kane

I like your team. Pretty similar to mine above

No Salah - no from me 🙂 Nunez is definitely a wait and see for me, as is Foden (vs Mahrez).

Don't get this love for 5 at the back. It's never been a winning set up ever

C all day for me.
I agree 5 at the back is overrated. You’ve got the 3 best ones there and a very good 4th.
Maybe the Brighton GKs over Brentford as there’s talk of uncertainty for Raya?

D, but then do Chilwell to Laporte as I wouldnt want double Chelsea defence

2 has the benefit of an 8mil mid but Allison is better choice than Ederson imo

Is he staying?

Tierney backup I guess since he keeps breaking after every 45mins

A smart fit reckon. Can't be having Tavares again when Tierney gets injured, plus he can cover the holding midfield role

Darwin still has Firmino to compete with

Pretty good but change your keepers

I started off with a noMo team and still on one. I'm aiming to only have one premium. Makes cap decisions easier.

Very volatile place this. I try to play my own game but will still post an RMT in case I've made any glaring errors

Liverpool fan here who hasnt had Salah in a single draft yet.

Does anyone really care about that friendly? Apart from United, as itll be their highlight of the season over already.

There were a few, but it does seem like they've got rolling now. I tried to embolden the more tentative ones by linking to your post the other day 🙂

Just imagine the furore if Neto flops, or worse, is benched in GW1

I think it is more a case of can you make the extra 3m work elsewhere and given the price points I think I can.
I don't think anyone is reacting after a friendly.

Mehg

dont like it

Nice Brazilian

Da Silva

Winks when he moves.

A

Not a huge fan JWP's opening fixtures but I'll still say B

Mendy, Chilwell, Cash, Salah, Colback

B with Foden

For me he is, providing he gets regular minutes.

All the No-Mo RMTs on here look miles stronger than the Salah perma-captain teams.

Top scorer among 4.5 forwards last season for those who investigate no further

Atleast he's been given some minutes in the friendlies

Kane took one nicely vs Korea

I fail to see the point in looking at a team that costs 105m?

I couldn't stand my subs when I was looking at 5-4-1.
Also, someone pointed out to me, that if your one striker doesn't play then you play with a 5-4-0

Why don’t you just swap Saka for Jesus

B if Neco is a sub

Definitely a nice option, likes to get on the ball too so could be decent for bps (although you'd expect in a game with a Chelsea clean sheets the wingbacks will dominate those)

I don't think they're done with the CB shopping spree yet so hard to know if he's nailed. The upheaval & unpredictability is enough to put me off my beloved Reece so the CBs are pretty far from my thoughts

That's me currently, number 2

I have 2 but Kulu to have a back 3 of Chilwell, Cancelo and Taa

Mendy Tomiyasu

Lovely
