Defoe has signed for Bournemouth
Straight into my team now

A fairly confident statement.

At what price do you say no though ?

He was the 5th highest scoring forward last season so would 9 million be too much to pay ?

Can't see him being more than 7.5 again
Maybe 8 which is an awkward price ........
Haven't looked at their fixtures yet either as I'll be setting up for first month or so only as per usual
But he could be a fantastic option

caviardreams · 30-06-2017 9:29am

Ake to Bournemouth - could be a great buy at the right price.

Lucas Hood · 30-06-2017 9:30am

Probably would have been better if he signed after the game came back.
Price would have been likely lower.

Scorpion Sting · 30-06-2017 10:24am

Former FPL hero Robin van Persie has been linked with Crystal Palace. Would be great to see RVP back in the Premier League.

Think Bournemouth & Southampton fixtures rotate perfectly this year which would be great for swapping Ake (if 4.5, maybe 5.0) and the likes of Cedric & Yoshida

Even Begovic & Forster in nets too, if they cost 9.5

Yoshida hasn't been offered a new contract yet, think he has either 6 or 12 months left on current deal so he mightn't figure in the club's plans. I still hope his deal is extended or Liverpool offer £15 million :rolleyes: :pac:

Stephens has got a new deal and would be my pick at the moment depending on his price.

They've signed another CB-Bednarek also so more competition.

Super Matty Targett would be an option if Bertrand goes

Will have to keep an eye on preseason games to see how they line out.

If Van Djik starts at 5.5 while still at Soton and then moves to Liverpool, Chelsea or City he will absolute must - even at 6.0 he'd be v attractive with his goal threat.

2nd Row Donkey · 02-07-2017 5:34pm

Westbrom have signed Jay Rod.

Might be a decent enabler.

Division · 03-07-2017 11:05pm

I was trying to be cute with going with 3 mid priced forwards that played the lone striker role and packing the midfield but that doesn't seem to have been the strategy of any of the winners from previous seasons. Basically its been 3-4-3 all players from top teams with 1 mid priced midfielder and who had a great season and 1 defender from the likes of Southampton that can keep a clean sheet at home and pop up with 5 assists a season.

If you don't make early transfers that quickly increase the value of your team you're out of the running by GW10.

The gameplan is tried and tested. It basically comes down to the mid priced midfielder, mid priced defender and then waiting for a top striker to be rotated/injured and picking the guy that replaces him.

jimmii · 04-07-2017 7:30am

Simples!

hufpc8w3adnk65 · 04-07-2017 7:41am

No more Super Georgie Byrd as fifth mid. He's gone to Sheffield Wednesday

Don't agree with that bit at all. If you look at most of the top teams they tend to be the ones who had the right players from the start so didn't need to go signing Flavour of the week each Sunday night chasing price rises.

CSF · 04-07-2017 10:41am

Really don't think that there's any magic formula. Over the course of 380 games, no one small part of the strategy can guarantee or eliminate the chances of success.

Very much a case of who throws the most darts in the right direction. Usually a few more land.

Found a couple of more images on Reddit.

Looks definite, not sure how to feel to be honest.

An interesting twist that's for sure.

Scorpion Sting · 05-07-2017 6:18pm

Alexandre Lacazette has signed for Arsenal. I wonder will Sanchez stay put now.

Lukaku to united now being strongly mooted
Makes sense with rooney basically being paid to go to Everton .........hope they hold off till the prices are locked in
Although I'm not sure he will be more or less desirable as a fantasy asset at united

More for sure, the service he got at Everton was some of the worst I've ever seen from a top-8 team. Pricing will be important though.

Any chance of it not being a done deal before FPL opens. Being at utd as opposed to everton increases his price by about a mil

Nah, they'll want him on the plane for their tour on Sunday.

Utd first five fixtures:

whu, SWA, lei, STO, eve

Lukaku is going to be in 30% of teams to start the season.

A well connected journal Craig Norwood said he will make his debut on July 15th alright .........If united sign Matic then pogba is going to interest me as much as lukaku
Wonder who will be on pens.........

Jim White says no deal done.

Don't think it matters. He'll already be priced as either Utd or Chelsea.

Even at that and United first 5 fixtures, I'll have him pending United sign him.

Triple United starting off it;s looking very likely

And as I fancy them to win the league I had in mind to go double defence but might need to go with 3 from the start now.

I'd say you'll be really struggling to make up a squad given you'll probably only have ~65m left after those 3.

@TelegraphDucker: Leicester confident of landing Kelechi Iheanacho from Man City for around £25m
Interesting

Scorpion Sting · 06-07-2017 10:31pm

The new PL season kicks off on a Friday night. Arsenal vs Leicester is the curtain-raiser on 11 August.

Cue "techical problems" on the FPL site and mass panic as thousands of people are unaware having not completed their GW1 teams.

extra gravy · 07-07-2017 3:56pm

Lacazette priced at 10.5m...
