Anyone know anything about Tripper - Spurs. Will he start . I watch him play last season and will be amazed if he us not a first choice player .

Walker hasn't left and nobody has come in so it's impossible to say for now. Dani Alves signing would sure put a spanner in the works.

What does anyone think of Depoitre - Huddersfield Striker . I'm thinking of teaming him up with Gross or Knockaert - Brighton as a 3rd Striker

Salah down as 9 million

I'm going with tikka m salah as my team name this year.

Taking a step back I don't see much wrong with most of the prices.

Salah scored 15 league goals and got 11 assists in Series A last season in 29 starts.

I had hopes of Ince being 5.5 but with 14 goals and 6 assists in a promoted side he was always gonna be 6. As were the top promoted attacking mids last season. Ritchie etc.

Lacazette is reasonable for an elite attacker in a top 6 attacking side. We thought Zlatan was steep last year. He wasn't.

Benteke is the only one you could slightly complain about, up 0.5 from last season, after not setting the world alight. But he (and Palace) finished strong, he has great shooting stats. It's not that unreasonable.

Fab is a bargain if he looks like starting. Which he might initially with Hazard out.

Heaton, Knockaert, Maguire are bang on what you'd expect. Knockaert arguably is value once their fixtures improve.

This is the problem with the top 6 now being so much better than the rest of the league. There are going to be that many players at premium prices.

So folks does anyone have insight on defenders from the promoted teams who might be worthy of consideration

Sure it'll be no bother with my three Brighton defenders!

They must be raising the 100ml ....

.5 too expensive.

At this rate, Mané will be 10.5.

Could see Alli at 11 or 11.5 tbh. Seems like serious inflation.

Harry Maguire priced at 5 million for Leicester.

Not for me with 4 of top 6 in first 6

I doubt it. But you're right in that the relative team value to last year is very likely to have greatly decreased. Of course we all have to work with the same prices, but I think the combined price of the 220 expected starting players shouldn't vary really by the year. A bell curve approach is absolutely the right one.

There was some talk on FFS of deflation of prices of defs and GKs. No defs announced yet but Heaton no cheaper than you'd expect.

They'd never be increasing the budget from 100m would they??

This is getting a tad ridiculous.

Yeah Ince 0.5 dearer than I'd have hoped.

Tom ince also .5 more than expected !
Does not bode well for the bigger players

Father Hernandez

Tom Ince at Huddersfield down as 6 million

Expensive IMO

Yup, only thing is if they price everybody who is any way decent in premium prices like they have Lacazette, it will be hard to even find 7 mill.

We always say the prices are tighter but they really seem to be.

Cheap defence (31m), Lukaku and Kane, 4.5 bench fodder mid - will be lucky if that leaves your 40m for 4 mids and a forward.

Fabregas .......for start of season anyway which is all I want

The pricing of Lacazette is really disappointing. New to the league so needed to be a better price to tempt me as I was considering gambling on him. Not at that price though.

Defoe will be similar or lower and will be on pens given all the misses Bournemouth has last year
Really hoping he is 7.5

Shush.

Could be interesting but lost peno duty late last season.
