Any thoughts on Hegazi (WBA) at 4.5?

McAuley out of the first 2 games at least, will Hegazi slot straight in for him?

FPL23

Hey anyone have any money leagues on the go? Cheers

Another predicament has popped into my head while last minute tinkering :rolleyes:

A) Pogba + Tadic

Salah + Ward-Prowse

This would be with the first 3-6 GW's in mind.

I already have Lukaku and no Liverpool attacking coverage so B appeals, but Ward-Prowse could be taken off early for say Boufal and used sparingly after the first week or even for Lemina if Pelligrino goes 4-3-2-1. That said, I've done a bit more digging on Tadic and some Saints fans don't think he's a guaranteed starter either and that there were some attitude problems last season that may not be rectified.

Tough one.

I'd go for B personally, I think Salah with get off to a flier and you need at least one Pool attacking player.

I'm chancing him

What's the story with Son for Spurs? He got a lot of points last year but don't see him in many teams. Will he start?

alchemist33

Son is out injured for a while

IK09

I knew I shouldnt have come in here....had lindelof in my team since my very 1st draft...now im unsure he will start.

Yes, lots of talk in the RMT thread. Rotates well it Burnley players too I think.

Injured, still out.

If I were you I'd be glad you did come in here or else it'd be a big 0 under Lindelof in your team :P

All jokes aside, DDG at 5.5 is your cheapest bet for guaranteed United coverage.

Jones at 5.0 or Darmian at 5.5 should both start but still slightly risky

Thanks mate.

Yeah, it spreads the attack around a bit for me instead of having 2 eggs in the United attacking basket in Pogba and Lukaku.

Ward-Prowse is far from safe but it seems like Tadic isn't exactly nailed on either from my research and I want to go with a Southampton midfielder.

Yes, rose is injured since Jan and will be eased back in so he should be good for 4-5weeks at least.

As soon as he comes back he is going straight into my team.

Thinking of going without Kane now.

Got Jesus instead, Alli to replace Sane and Kolasinac instead of Dawson. Money better spend and can go back to Kane with two transfer if he goes crazy.

Yay or Nay?

Could go either way - your midfield may score better as a result. But just keep in mind that you've taken the golden boot winner for the last 2 seasons. With that in mind, I'm keeping him in.

ScummyMan

87 people currently active on the forum, today's the day alright

Apart from a Cedric > Yoshida switch I think I'm done for today.

Like km I've moved away from the strong front three, as I think KDB and Firminio outscore Pogba/Mkhi and Jesus. This goes against everything Ive been thinking all summer, so we'll see :P

NabyLadistheman

Anybody thinking of doubling up on Southampton defence?!

km79

Has pelligrino said ANYTHING about why Austin got zero minutes last week ?
If I get gabbi in and he goes off before 60 for Austin............I can just see it happening

FFS reckon Andre gray is not a certainty to start

Thanks guys, I just needed someone to tell me what I already know.

I think it is time to log off and stop making silly transfers for no reason

Forester and Stephens so far for me.

MR NINE

Is there a chance PVA won't start? I thought he would be nailed on but I've seen it suggested that he may be benched.

Massive YAY

Think you are all nuts saying Kane is a cert in your team. They just moved into a stadium where they played ****e in in the CL last year. Their main attacking exploits in Walker & Rose are gone (or at least the latter will probably be), there is unrest in the camp because of it, they usually start the season quite slow, they haven't brought in new blood, and their opening fixtures are NOT good until GW3.

Newcastle away is not an easy game and Chelsea at home is no gimme either. I'll wait until GW3 until I'll be bringing Kane in. Someone like Jesus who has over a 7PPP ratio IIRC is insane for 2M less. I'd save and invest elsewhere!

Rose missed the second half of last season and Kane did just fine. Rose being sold would have little effect on him.

wong

I've gone for Aguero over Kane. Away to Brighton. I think everyone is really sleeping on him.

Thatsfootball

Would Monreal be expected to start long-term once Kos and Mustafi are back?

Have Kolasinac and Bailly now but that's quite a bit on two defenders at the expense of a 2nd big hitter in midfield

d-gal

Any draft leagues I could join guys?
