            And I see that too.
            I just think that even if 'as a team' they are a wait and see... James can still be a one man wrecking ball.
            And Everton could be completely toothless.

    Hey, playing again after a while (~5ish years). Is there a separate RMT thread here?

    Also, rate my team:

    Martinez (Ward)
    TAA/Cancelo/Dalot (Reece/Neco)
    Martinelli/Mount/Bailey/Sancho(v) (Armstrong)
    CallumW(c)/Haaland/Jesus

    Bank = 3.5m

    I've tried not to go all in on any single team, and I've got enough money to get Kane for any striker or Salah for Mount/Martinelli and even Sancho (if I get 0.5m from somewhere)... And I can easily get Robertson too, ig.
