 NUFCAndrew | Salah plus who for you? Salah + Sterling means you almost certainly have to go for 6.5s upfront, unless you kill other areas of your team Salah + Aguero/Kane is better for team balance, but no Sterling could seriously co… | 6 years, 8 months ago | 90 |

 Ramboros | Finding Value in Defence The more I look at the defensive pricing, the more absurd it gets. There are no 4.0 options, which is good in itself. 4.0 should not be a reliable bracket for the bench. At 4.5 you can get so… | 6 years, 8 months ago | 13 |

 ★Kuntheman★ | What are your thoughts on FPL prices? Robbo at 7.0 is an easy steal, was willing to even pay 8.0 for him. But what a fake out! Pereira and Fraser crazy expensive. You’d expect everything else to adjust accordingly. Could see a lot o… | 6 years, 8 months ago | 39 |
 Godfrey | Pereira at 6.0m - too expensive? I think we need a 125 million budget with those prices. Ricardo at 6.0. | 6 years, 8 months ago | 7 |
