    Head starting to get busted now.

    Kane is part of the problem.

    Too much information all round.

    Must have over 200 screenshots, on my phone, of different squads I’ve picked.

    The way Poch has reacted in recent press conferences has kinda put me off Kane.

    Only two players scored more than 20 goals and got 10 plus assists in their league last season. He was one and the other was Messi.

    I actually confused Pepe with someone else.

    He seems to be correctly priced around Auba/Lazacette. Maybe preferred on the basis of being in midfield. He is there right?

    But I don't share people's immediate enthusiasm. Be interesting to see if he can hit this season the same as last.

    Sorry I should have elaborated.

    He hasn’t said anything negative about Kane at all.

    He seems very irate about his role at the club and lack of influence on what players come and go.

    He said he is now a coach and not a manager. Just doesn’t seem too happy.

    It’s not the best scenario.

    Which West Ham centre half is the good one ?

    Think it’s Diop that made a big difference to their clean sheet ratio last year ? Am I mixing them up ?

    No it was balbuena got injured before Christmas and our clean sheets dried up he didn't get back up to speed for the rest of the year and he is probably more of a goal threat than diop.

    Its diop being linked with the move to the likes of united though not Balbuena
    Diop is very highly rated

    Maybe I missed it, but is there a sign up thread, or code for the qualifing league (to get into League 2 2020/21). Cant see it on the forum page, or on the first few/last pages of this thread.

    Was just playing around with my team and something stood out to me. Presumably everyone is going to have at least one guy on their bench who they plan will never be used at all really (ie the 3rd sub) and from looking around it seems a lot of people have a 4.0 defender as this person (if not 2 of them)

    But it looks like none of the 4.0's will be starters so surely it's more logical to leave this "dud" position as a striker at 4.5? Because from looking through the game it seems the cheapest striker that's a guaranteed starter is Wesley at Villa for 6.0, where as there's loads of defenders at 4.5 that will play every week and I'd expect a few of them will be solid options as either a bench player or rotating into that 11th spot when they have a nice fixture. In other words if you have a 4.5 striker you've to spend an extra 1.5 to get a starter, where as you only need an extra 0.5 to get a guaranteed starting defender over a 4.0 that won't play.

    So to me picking 4.0 defenders is illogical really unless you think your guy may actually play or you really want to use three strikers.

    If you've 10m left it seems a lot more logical to me anyway to pick say Greenwood and Zinchenko over Wesley and Lundstram. And you have the flexibility to move off Zinchenko to 90% of the other defenders in the game, options are limited enough if you're coming off Wesley/Ings etc

    Question.

    As you can't have more than 3 players from one team - What happens if I have chosen DeGea, AWB, Pogba and Maguire in my team? Maguire is still a Leicester player. Presumably, he will be switched to Man United during the week. I imagine I can still play all 4, but won't be able to make a transfer without switching one of the four players mentioned out of my team. A loophole, one can say, perhaps?

    You won't be able to make any transfers without removing one of them. You can get a week or two with them but not sure id want them all.

    A loophole and a pitfall all in one.

    I think your team will automatically get deleted for having triple United defence ;

    Both Lundstram and Kelly featured heavily in pre-season.
    I imagine Kelly will lose out to either Sakho or Tomkins when fit.
    Lundstram played in MF yesterday.

    I'm willing to take a chance.
    I usually WC over international break anyway and can get 2 x 4.5 rotating defenders in their place if required.

    I figure if Kelly and Lundstram start the first few weeks their guaranteed to rise in value. Can ditch them then and pocket the profit.

    I was reading the Sheff utd forum as im thinking of going with Callum Robinson. Not a lot of love for lundstram from what I was reading a lot of surprise about how much gametime he is getting and criticism of his performance yesterday, although the manager has picked him for most pre season games so that's all that matters.

    Manes only back to training tomorrow I think, wouldn't expect him to start. Aguero hard to tell but noteworthy Jesus came on for Sane ahead of him.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Liverpool look very shaky at the back again. I think it's a big risk doubling up on their defense to start the season

    Saw some people talking about tripling up on the Liverpool defence. After today I'd say there are a lot of redrafts going on. It was always madness to put that much on one team's defence.
