    Salah spends a lot of time centrally. Very likely I'll start with him. Coutinho playing midfield got the assist.

    He has been unreal. I know he has a goal and an assist today but i f he plays in the position he is playing today I think he will be doing a lot of the assisting the assister stuff we hate.

    Will Austin be a cert to start with Gabbi?

    From a Saints forum, looks like Stephens played very well today - could be the pick over Yoshida.

    A curiosity from yesterdays friendlies - Bertrand, while in the Saints squad, didn't get any minutes. Both Targett and McQueen did. My guess is it's down to transfer speculation and maybe Berty being a bit unsettled, but it might be something to bear in mind anyway. There's 3 gameweeks before the transfer deadline so just thinking in regards to players linked with a bigger club there might be a chance they miss out on games

    I think Bertie also had a minor hamstring issue, and given his previous injuries in pre-seasons they may have just been extra cautious - but there could be something in it, who knows

    Alonso goal for Chelsea vs Bayern. H/T 1-3
    Fab playing alongside Kante in CM. Boga filling in for Pedro alongside Willian. Batman up front again (Morata on bench though expected to play some 2nd half). Christensen started at CB ahead of Luiz.

    Only caught the last 10 mins or so of the Chelsea game. What shape were Chelsea playing, or was it just chasing the game tactics! Morata looked to be very wide at times. Is there a chance the front 3 could have Morata wide and the batman through the middle?

    He is certainly going well in Preseason anyway

    He's the fantasy option we deserve but not the one we need right now. So we'll scout him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our cult FPL hero. He's a silent striker, a watchful predator. A dark knight.

    Yeah pre-season has definitely looked like he'll be first choice so he's in my latest draft, to rotate with J-Rod

    As I mentioned at the start he is exactly the type of player dyche loves. A team player with a bit of physicality. I think he will play every game when fit and more times than not at centre forward. He is better than Barnes and vokes.

    J-Rod scored again for WBA against Burton. Changed from him to Austin a couple of days ago, might be time to change back.

    Martina started at RB. Though if I remember correctly he figured alot in the Europa League while at Saints, but not so much in the league itself

    I only saw the last 30 minutes and Sandro was on then, he had some nice touches but didn't look quick. Rooney was deep and was poor . Klaasen not a quick player either. I'd say they will be fairly easy to defend against but a solid side. Its a wait and see with them anyway because of fixtures.
