Deciding to start off with Daniels or Cedric is proving to be one of my more head scratching decisions.

From memory Daniels has high ownership and Cedric could miss first couple of weeks.

I had a great ‘fixture difficulty’ bookmark from last season but stupidly deleted it and now I can find a user friendly one.

Andre Schurrle in midfield at 6.0.

Get in my team.

That’s an interesting price
There do seem to be a LOT of possible mid range midfield options this season
Very tempted to go 442/352 and a cheap striker now

umm and the plot thickens.

In my opinion there's a lot of value in MF compared to FWs there's not a huge amount of players that I find too tempting below the top ~ 8 strikers.

I wouldn't be rushing to get him, he's got 3 league goals in the last two seasons.

Think I had him in my team in the World Cup FF.

Wonder if that means Lacells is off. Few bids for him during the summer

Totally agree. Loads of mid-priced mids making an early bench boost attractive, one or two of them start well and you'll be bagging price rises within a day or two

Chambers and Sokratis paired together in a training game for Arsenal today. Chambers could be gold at 4.5 if he's first choice. Just signed a new deal and Emery seems to like him.

Mustafi and Holding are in the team for the Athletico game on at the moment, I think a bit like Chelsea I will play a wait and see aproach with both squads, apart form Abua.

Pedro, Willian and Chambers very much on the watchlist.

I read that earlier too and had a good laugh

Is it just me or is inflation gone higher in the game this season too, to mirror real life spending.

Players like Jahanbakhsh costing 7.0. last year he would have been 5.5 or 6.0. as he is a virtual unknown in the grand scheme of football.

Willian was 7.0 last season, Salah was 9.0 David Silva was 8.0

Tosun came in at 7.5 last season with a similar reputation

Jahanbaksh vs Gros, both 7, one with a season in the league behind him, that's an issue alright Jota is at least 0.5 cheaper.

Tbf, Eredivisie top scorer and classified as a midfielder. I think it was likely he'd be at a decent price

Wow. Didn't realise he was a classified as a mid. He's going to play up front no?

Shanotheslayer · 26-07-2018 08:18PM

Anyone any good suggestions for a 5.5 and a 5.0M striker?

Also most nailed on Watford defender for 4.5M?

You guys convinced me to BB GW1 so aiming for all starters.

Km79 persuaded me to get Sanchez in :pac:

Dr. Bre · 26-07-2018 08:24PM

Nick pope went off injured for Burnley tonight

Kabasele I would say is the most nailed Watford defender.

Why are we all so sure aguero is gonna be starting gw1
I’m having grave doubts about going with him

The real mccoy 91 · 26-07-2018 09:33PM

I had written off having any burnley players but now with them having Europa league they could have a fast start I think? Lowton and Lennon interest me most
