      Vuskovic, Muharemovic and Maguire all look like great £5.0m options. Tick all 3 boxes for CS, DEFCON and goal threat.

    General question: I enjoy reading the pundit predictions (Sutton at BB, whoscored) before each GW to get a feel of each match lilkely outcomes. They all seem to put a big emphasis on historical outcomes between the opponents , like ".. X have traditionally struggled against Y. ". Seems to me a bit strange , I mean club players and managers change allt the time.

    What do you think, does history of particular fixtures mean anything for the likely outcome?

            6 hours, don’t over think it, just make a decent start.

            First 3-4 weeks template usually turned on head & teams ripped up.

    Arsenal kept 4 x clean-sheets in the 9 x league matches that Mosquera started last season and Arsenal.

    Leeds kept 4 x clean-sheets in the last 9 x matches.

    Make what you want of this information.

    Thoughts on this please?

    Kinsky
    Calafiori Palestra Hume
    O.Dango Mbuemo Odegaard Tzolis Wirtz
    Isak Haaland

    Subs: Verbruggen JPedro Ajer Davis

    BB GW1

    Wasn't sure if it's worth downgrading JPedro to Barry and using the 2mil elsewhere?

    Best defender for the first three gameweeks?

    A) White (already have Calafiori)
    B) Maguire (already have Lammens) + 0.5 itb
    C) Kerkez/Frimpong

    I will “downgrade” the one I pick to Konsa when we have seen him play a full game for Arsenal.

    The world football is under domination of Spaniards, De la Fuente, Luis Enrique are simple examples of it. I believe the situation wont be different in PL this season. That is why I will trust heavily on Arteta, Xabi and Iraola. I will have at least 7/8 players from their clubs and avoid especially City assets. Currently I have Calafiori, Tzolis, Palestra, J Pedro, Palmer, Wirtz, Isak from those teams.
