For me it is TAA > Porro > Gabriel/Saliba > Gvardiol. He is surely a great option but personally I don't rate him that high at the start of the season.

I see people stretching that 6.0 to get Trent or downgrading to Porro if extra funds are needed. And Saliba/Gabriel offer a water tight defence for the same price. Gvardiol a luxury pick for me and not an essential one.

I haven't posted my team but I did drop him. City look like the least prepared for the season. Later returns, injuries, much weaker squad tha previous years... just feels dodgy. Swapped for Ben White.

First games I expect him to play as a Left CB with three CB's, and Rico Lewis as the attacking RWB. So I start with Trent, at least until we see Walker or Stones back. Then still a risk with Ake around, so a good 4.5 back up is needed to come in when Gvardiol gets benched, because that is gonna happen. With Trent if fit, Saliba, Gabriel and even Porro you know what you get.

Cheers all, some think he won’t be as attacking till all city defenders are back?
Had in in draft since start, now thinking Gabriel/saliba

Dropped for Saliba last week. He hasn't really been bombing forward in preseason & if Savio starts LW I doubt he will. Plus no Rodri, Walker etc.

Not a bad pick. High ceiling, but also possible to, like you say, play 30 minutes and blank. For me a no go as in a wait and see.

Difficult to pick. If his a regular starter could be a good pick

3.

1 or 3 for me. 3 if pushed.

Definitely option 2 or 4 with 8 attackers if you can play them all

A help above please

Gvardiol & Porro

B for me , VdV is fine for GW1 vs LEI but after that prob not many CS or attacking returns

B

I would change hendo.

Trent

Obviously Trent, but eith 1.5m difference it depends on what the extra funds get you.

I still prefer Porro just for GW1 even without the extra 1.5m

A. Not sure about Jesus starting GW1 though.

No player needed but both good picks for good prices.

I'm on Isak and have Muniz as a third striker

high

Think he starts but maybe subbed after 60 to manage his minutes

None actually IMO

Jebbison on the radar to enable 352 later

I agree with palmer in.

Would change Henderson personally

Looks good but would keep Bruno until GW4 for SOU and start with ESR instead of Nkunku if you want him GW2 , Chelsea have Europe games before GW3 so a wait and see for me

I like Porro but you could just keep Myko & Rogers and use the 0.5m on your keeper or itb

Good to see another no Haaland team. I’m also on the Mo train but serious FOMO setting in.

Been considering it. But the fact Watkins and Foden are a doubt to start is beginning to put me off. Foden would be the Haaland 'cover' and Watkins the best Haaland replacement.

I might do that once we’re sure Foden is back

Yep I will start with no Salah and Haaland , think the upside is much higher than the downside to start

Me too mate. I'd narrow that lot down to kudus or bailey.

But WWO Count, WHO!

I’d want some Arsenal attack, so A if you’ve already got Saka, otherwise B

Needs to at least buy me dinner first

Spurs don't typically keep many clean sheets

Pedro Porro is the preferred choice but if on a budget which I am then I'll be going Van de Ven as at that price he a steal

He plays for Spurs

Spurs defense is really not great , so in GW1 Leicester's terrible attack makes up for it but after that you either need the attacking returns from a Porro or go somewhere else imo

Jota

Gordo

I;ve gone diaz

B just.

2nd, Areola and Fab played a half each in the last pre season vs Celta Vigo, nothing to suggest Fabs not still the number 2.

4-4-2?! Don’t like it personally, I feel you might have to downgrade Gvardiol or Porro and upgrade winks to maybe Roger’s or esr
