    I'll join in with the RMT. Not settled on this by any means but currently have;

    Raya, Fabianski
    TAA, Munoz, Martinez, Faes, Davis
    Salah, Saka, Gordon, Nkunku, Gibbs-White
    Isak, Solanke, Muniz

    Further ahead, potentially look at bringing Watkins in but do have some concerns re his lack of playing time in pre-season and the impact of champions league games on him (and Villa). Tempted by Minteh as well, but Brighton have tougher start than Forest.

      Never forget when Matip made his TOTW for "surviving one or two scary moments" despite not playing a single minute.

          Possible but I just think the all-out-attack style they employed at home last season is going to be reined in, and their away stats might be the more relevant one to their PL style.

          At home they conceded 32 = 1.39 per game = 19th/24.

          Away they conceded 25 = 1.08 = 3rd.

          Also outscored everyone else in home fixtures by some margin with 59 but ranked 6th for away goals

        I have Bobb. Just on bench boost but not planning early wildcard. Struggling with the last midfielder slot. I may downgrade defence but I'd rather just find the second best 5m midfielder if possible.

      I've watched every Palace friendly. Kamada has played more minutes than any other player, has 2 goals and 2 assists and is forming a good combination with Tyrick Mitchell. He knows the system and has looked good to me, so much so that I have put him in my team ahead of Eze, who looked rustier than a sqeeky gate on Sunday.
      Eventually Eze will probably work his way in to my team, but want to see how he looks without Olise.

    Can someone please talk me out of having Rashford in my team (my starting lineup no less).

    I know he has no business there but I need someone to talk sense into me.

        That's a good question, I might have overtinkered.

        He stands out like a sore thumb, even in my team of mediocrity.

      If you want Saka as well as Haaland, probably yes.

      Diaz also a good option. Maybe better even.

    So lets see if i got this right

    Leicester - lost their manager, lost their best player, no real quality signings, very poor pre season, fans already voicing content on manager , playing a team who are known to start fast and play very attacking football.

    Porro, Son, Solanke it is.

        I have Antony Robinson waiting on the bench if that happens, I’m more concerned if his performances translate into points in the first 2 then he’s the first bandwagon of the season.
