He'll be nailed on.
Unless a silly offer comes in or he tried to force a move.
Has 4 years left on his current contract.

I think he'd be a great signing for Chelsea*

I'd be more than happy with an obscene transfer fee for Bertrand and a 4.5 Southampton defender.

That game Ended 3-0
Think I'll be going with a minimum 2 saints players for GW1 based on that.
Maybe 3 if JWP looks to get a starting place, as he's on most set pieces when he's on the pitch.

2 assists for Targett
1 goal and 1 assist for JWP


Here's the goals

1-0 Gabbi goal

I was worried about his hamstring !

I had just convinced myself to go with Forster too

I had Forster for long spells last season and he badly burned me. He had a very bad second half to last season, he'd be my pick from Saints cover only for that.

Salah goal.

He plays so central.

Didn't see today's game but for the Leicester game I felt he was more central than origi. Makes great runs inside aswell.

@MCIFrance: La composition pour affronter Tottenham :
Ederson
Walker Kompany (c) Stones Otamendi Danilo
Fernandinho
Sterling De Bruyne Silva
G.Jesus


Strong team
No aguero
Not good

Stones goal kdb assist

@SpursOfficial: #THFC: Lloris (C), Trippier, Dier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies, Dembele, Winks, Eriksen, Dele, Kane. #SpursInUSA https://twitter.com/SpursOfficial/status/891402808657891328/photo/1

No sane again. Very risky to go with aguero it seems.

Starting to worry that it may be risky to go with anyone. Lacazette may even be safer than Jesus at the same price in the first few games. But only if he's on penalties.

Too risky to go without City attack. They are destroying Spurs here. Should be 3 or 4 up. Scored almost 3 goals a game in first 6 GWs last season.

KdB should be nailed and has been excellent again tonight. Aguero will probably get a half now to stake a claim after a quiet half from Jesus and a terrible miss.

City look solid at the back too. This keeper is good and 3 CBs. I leaning to a City def over Alonso who was subbed off after having a nightmare today.

What has Walker's role been?

Right wing back
Danilo left

Right wing back. Getting forward plenty but Danilo is a real handful on the other side and more attacks going that way.

Depending on how long Mendy is out for Danilo could be worth a go for early Wildcarders, looks excellent.

Cheers. Who is looking more like the must have. KDB or Jesus? I don't think I can have both without getting rid of Lukaku and Kane.

Jesus has been a bit quiet imo. Got in some good positions but not at all clinical. See above. :eek:

KdB the number 1 for me ATM.

Then probably Jesus, although I want Aguero.

Still probably going with KDB and a striker.

Aguero has hit post twice since he came on...

FHFC wrote: »

Aguero, Foden, Yaya, Nasri for Silva, Kompany, KdB, Fernandinho

Back to 4231

Aguero gets half an hour to show how it's done....

Actually Mangala came in to, still 3 at back.

Jesus off too.

That made me far too excited.

Hero for me at the end of the 15/16 season, thought he had left City permanently. Not that he'll be near my team plans.

Any more Walters watch from yesterday. Front 3 yeah?

Edit. Good report here actually... http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/15442209.MATCH_REPORT__Nottingham_Forest_1_Burnley_1/

It was supposedly a 4123 in the first half. I can't see the set up yesterday being used Walters and Barnes would be the two slowest wide forwards ever. Defour 5.5 mid has been getting a good bit of game time pre season. If he could nail down a place he would be an option excellent ability on the ball and a great set piece. With Boyd leaving there is an issue with 442 as it needs a player like Boyd that runs around a lot going by dyches previous selections. This is why he may be trying other formations out. Looking at the squad its a bit imbalanced for what dyche usually wants . I think I'll be holding off on Walters due to fixtures and the fact he may play right side unless another winger is signed.

I wouldn't fancy starting Walters every week, but my cunning plan was a 4th def/4th mid rotation.

Walters and Hegazi leaves you looking for WBA clean sheets against BOU, STO, WHU on 1, 3 & 5 and playing Walters against WBA, CPL, HUD in 2, 4 & 6 where you'd hope Burnley would be 442 with him up top.

All for 10m

How long before McCauley is back? Reckon Hegazi is a safe pick?

He is not but as long as McCauley is out for couple of weeks he will do me
