Fantastic news for me:rolleyes:
I've had unbelievable faith in Caulker over the past few seasons, half the time I played him over far better clean sheet chance players just for his ability in the opposition box, playing for a team that might even keep an occasional clean sheet I won't be able to resist.
That'll be just the 14 choices I have to make so:o

My Berghuis knowledge is very basic at best.

Had a good season last year but expensive for that team. This guy Jurado or whatever is supposed to be brilliant but he's cheaper. Berghuis will be good for them but I won't be investing straight away

I'd know Jurado from his time at Atletico. Has crept into a few of my drafts but I don't think he will be for me.

Wenger has confirmed Chilean star Alexis Sanchez will re-join the group next week. The #AFC attacker is targeting a return to action in GW2


Is it just me or is the Jaws music playing somewhere?

Walcott / ramsey look better value to me

Hard to justify 9.0 for Walcott if it may only be for one week.

Sanchez wasn't that great of a pick second half of the season with everyone back; I think I captained him three times and he blanked all of them. I don't think I'll be shelling out 11m for him until he's an every GW captaincy contender like Aguero or Hazard.

but what a week it could be !
I'm thinking of going with him and ozil
then I'll monitor depay mata and sterling and can straight swap Walcott for any of the 3 of ozil for the man utd guys if Wally delivers !

Such a big conundrum. But, do remember, that when Walcott came in for his beautiful beautiful cameo last season, it wasn't in place of Sanchez. But yeah, there is no certainty in Walcott's place particularly at 9 million.

Nobody else seems to be feeling the love for Ki??
Any better options at 5.5? Thunk Swansea will have another good year, even though they have a tough start.

I'm all about the attacking midfielder myself. Those deep lying playmakers that take corners don't really do it for me. I want x amount of goalscoring opportunities from my midfielders every game. Ki wouldn't register with me for that reason.

You going with Zaha for 5.5 then? He's in my current draft:)

Zaha is the sort of player that is always in my thoughts!! It'll depend largely on if I decide to go for a cheap midfielder or go for premiums and cheapen up in defence, but Zaha would be the pick of the 5.5 midfielders for me so far with Affelay probably playing a similar role at that price too. Atsu a dark horse in the same category.

He's in my current draft. He scored 8 goals last season. I checked a couple of weeks ago, and (I think 7) of the 8 goals were from December on. I'm hoping he can continue this form into this season (though of course the other way of looking at this is that maybe he starts seasons poorly?!). I watch highlights of Swansea playing Forest in a friendly and he looked pretty good, on the ball a lot, and got into some very good position in the box when he wasn't passed the ball.

Also, Swanseas opening fixtures pretty ok imo, there's not many teams that have great opening fixtures.

caviardreams

Thanks guys - there is not too much at that price level so I might stick with him. Just hadn't spotted him on many (any?) teams so thought I might have missed some key intelligence on him (like a new Swansea signing I had not heard of! :eek:)

Probably the only player I've had in my team since the very first draft. Have had a feeling in my waters abut sInce the start. Shut the fcuk up Louis, he was meant to be a differential!!

he has a mental block on his hamstrings at this stage
Falcao will get plenty of gametime......Mourinho would love to prove everyone what a great manager he is by reviving Falcao

Hazard -> Fabregas = loads of $$$ for elsewhere

More worryingly for me is Differential FPL app hasn't updated yet either. Emailed them today as my patience ran out.
