Probably A, but it’s a tough one

Similarly to 2008 Antony - Probably A because of Bruno fixtures over Gyokeres, but not a fan of Fullkrug or Tarky.

Can you stretch Fullkrug to someone like J Pedro?

Also, I don't have the same confidence as you in Forest's defence to double up just yet. I would consider spreading the risk in changing out N Williams.

looks good mate ! only worry would be the pedro/delap dynamic

very good

decent, defence a bit light, RAN could be hit or miss, maybe a more nailed defender like VVD or Cucerella would be safer

like it

Looks pretty good, I wouldn’t go with 4 at the back but it could pay off

Very similar to my latest draft. I'm so unsure on the price point of midfielders between 6-8 mil, meaning I prefer the 4 premium mids.

I have Bruno instead of Saka, meaning I can upgrade 4.5 mid to Reijnders who I believe will be a steal at that price if he plays consistently for City.

As you have Saka in there, I'm assuming this is so you can captain GW2? If so, Gyokeres could be a good shout to save 1 mil. That's currently my thinking in place of Bruno

Missing Arsenal & City assets
Dont like it much

B is better, but also 2 million more. I don't think Bowen is worth that more than Fullkrug to start the season and I actually prefer Sarr to Kudus, even with fixtures more in Spurs favour. So I'd go with C) Sarr & Fullkrug +2mil

Certainly B

JP on current evidence, Forrest arent particularly potent will they be as good as last year, sesko too early and Utd fixture get better

i would say pedro. forest can't score goals at the minute and sesko's a wait and see, will need some time to settle in

I think pedro for opening fixtures. Sesko has just arrived so I’d be amazed if he started on Sunday, but could be a good pick after early tricky games. Forest haven’t been scoring loads in pre season so I’d go pedro over wood

I think Mateta, can score against anyone, is nailed and has the preseason form to back it up. Only worry is palace have started slowly the last few seasons but I can see that hopefully changing

Mateta

Mateta
Then Sesko later

haaland pedro wood, spend watkins elsewhere?

think Sels

May want to leave to open for Cucu-Palmer-JP

B is a safer bet, Chelsea a better overall team CS more likely. Will forest over perform like last year? again wait and see.

Sels, I see Cucu for 1m a better option with or without CS, if he continues free roaming could be mega asset.

I think it's whoever's last in the league gets first pick. It should be whoever was last in the snake though.

Yeah it is reverse order of the snake.

I think you'll need to get the lowest weekly score in GW1 to be able to get Sesko in the trades afterward

Dodgy midfield! Could be okay for one or two weeks maybe.

I was initially hot on Rice as well, but in the last friendly, he played deeper, yo-yoing with Zubimendi, who looks like the potential pick of the two on value.

I'll also C&P what I replied to Bloggy at the bottom of the last page:

It doesn't seem sensible to spend over 4.5 on a second playing GK. Better to have 0.5 ITB or in your outfielders imo. If not BBing, you could consider rotating 4.5s or going with 1 GKs of any price along with 4.0 fodder as a makeweight. I don't want to be the orthodoxy police, but I do want to be honest about my first reaction to your team! You will have 0.5-1.0 extra on the bench each week compared to others, simply because you want the BB in GW1 (and maybe a little bit of benefit from rotating, but certainly also a lot of frustration when you bench the wrong one!). WCing early does mitigate the issue somewhat, but if you do extend, you're haemorrhaging value.

I think you need more nailed players if that's the plan. Since your effectively on wildcard now you need 15 nailed-nailed starters
Way too many doubts:
Verbuggen - injured
Frimpong - any game could swap with Bradley
VDV - any game could be rested, but especially after PSG
Toisin - expected to start, but we don't know
Pedro is honestly 50-50 in my books any given game
Sorry to be so negative 🙁
VDV

There’s probably better options than Ndiaye now seeing as Everton have signed Grealish and KDH. I don’t think he’ll be as nailed on as he was before

B out of those 2 until we see more from Wirtz. I think Pedro is good value, other options to B Fernandes though

No

bit punty on strikers but looks good. Eze wait and see where/if he goes but decent pick either way I guess

I keep going back and forth on AWB and Diouf

We will know if he gets injured before deadline dont we ?

this is a stretch, VDV one of spurs best players when fit. If he gets injured we will know

The purpose of this post is to question whether Spurs/Frank will manage VDV game time given his history of injuries.

It is a short turnaround.

Leans towards 1st list

List 1 if you are BB and WC2 you can tank the salah GW1 hatrick and get him in asap with minimal damage

Yes, Forest are looking to buy a new LB. It may depend if Williams is a short or long term pick on your team

Forest looking to buy a new left back, making Williams a slight rotation risk, especially now that it's confirmed they'll play in the Europa League.

Cheers all

Its good - but as you say all or nothing

No Haaland or Salah a concern

I haven't worked out the £ but make sure you can get a good 4.5 DEF sub. Downgrade one of the others if needed.

Then it's great.

Too weak....

No trmplate with all the new players on form

A

A

Not KDH now Everton are signing Grealish

I think it stems from unknown season defensive teams yet to stand out. Once a pattern has formed the defensive assets will be snapped up with the first set of wildcards no doubt

Not many cs at the start.

Similar to when big at the back was fashionable a few years ago. In theory it's good, but in practice the CS and def attacking returns are difficult to predict. If no CS, you're stuck. Needs a balance IMO

B

Me too!
