    Yeah. United are unpredictable. Lost first game comfortably. Then won 5-2 today. Hence I'd wait a couple more weeks before building my team around Bruno + Haaland. WC is more important than OR this early, which xan easily swing back and forth first 5-6 GWs.

      cherki is nice for a few gws while hes hot. otherwise i would rather keep mbeumo until first int. break then re-assess. mbeumo could easily get 15-ish points next 3 gws, and that'd have been a great start to the season for him

      1 purely because you have Bruno.

      Cherki is home to Coventry. Mbeumo is away to Everton.

      I reckon Cherki will easily get more points in those games.

      Problem with FH or WC to get in Haaland is he's still going to be TC by a lot of people. Tough call whether it's worth it to use a chip mostly to just not lose even more ground than you'd lose without Haaland.

      up to arteta, big games last season he seemed to go really passive and no risks taken, they won the league pretty easily. not sure i can fully believe arteta won't resort back to similar tactics if it already worked. this whole odegaard talk, attack the league not defend it doesnt convince me at all tbh, its still arteta at the end of the day.

        True but Chelsea won’t sit back which bodes well for ARS attackers

        And, Chelsea attack are quite capable of a couple of goals

      barnes could've had 2 one on ones yesterday with a better first touch, and braced vs brom. elanga on form, people usually like the form players. sharing corner taking duties from the left, although i think elanga should be on those given his delivery while at forest

      do think though that murphy is more competition for elanga than toure is for barnes just because toure is young and inexperienced. so maybe a plus for barnes' mins. barnes' goal scoring record as well kinda speaks for itself.

              No problems there. Man City and Liverpool have really good fixtures on paper.

              I'd fancy a bunch of points in the Arsenal Chelsea game too but maybe not from the defenders.

      I’m sticking with Foden (C), Semenyo, NOR as they are already in my team so it’s a yes from me.

      Seems a shame to to rip up the structure of the team just to get Haaland in.

      Obviously it could totally backfire but so far so good this season.

    The season has finally started. Great to see attacking midfielders scoring. Enough of stocking up on boring CDMs.

      I'd do 1.

      Szoboszlai's fixture is great, and he will likely get DC if not something else.

    Save WC and go without Bruno, or use WC to get Bruno and forgo the opportunity to TC Haaland?
