Prefer the second team but I don’t like the AWB pick. Not sure why anyone is picking united defence.

EDIT: You have double Bournemouth defence, that's a big no no in my view.

Yes gonna go with it on the basis they are playing only one of my attackers in the first 7 weeks.

Yes I was of the opinion that Bournemouth were porous at the back. They are. But they kept 10 clean sheets last year , only Newcastle & Everton kept more outside of Top 6 and their keepers are 5mil

Shelf Utd at home to open things off. So I’m hoping they keep their clean sheets early this season with favorable fixtures.

Rico is there as more potential to outscorr Dendonkey this week who is away to Leicester

Wouldn't fancy that strike force, it's terrible if I'm been honest, no arsenal or spurs attackers. Too much invested in defence

Would be interested in any opinions on latest team selection as I think I'm getting close to the team I am going to start with.

Ederson
Digne, Robertson, Alexander Arnold, Walker
Salah, Sterling, Perez
Wilson, Rodriguez, Joelinton

Button, Dendoncker, Stephens, Lundstram

Keeper set and forget as I don't like the idea of rotating keepers as I would always pick the wrong one.
Defense I think is worth the extra money to have full backs with attacking potential as well as a chance of a clean sheet.
Midfield should be playing close to the opposition goals and hopefully will get attacking points regularly.
Forwards going for relatively cheap strikers who have potential to get goals.

Bench could all get appearance points with the exception of Button which is the best I can expect for the money left over from the first 11. All criticism and advice on improvement appreciated.

Add to that better to have your risks in low value players.

Double Bournemouth defence makes me cringe get a different keeper. Cathcart over kiko imo. I don't like king thinkhe is a trap but can understand your thinking rest of the front 6 makes the eyes water

Looks a bit light on defense to me. Norwich defense may have difficulty keeping many clean sheets and I would have doubts about Simpson and Kelly playing.

I think i'm kind of settled on this. Jimenez and Laporte fitness pending obviously

Heaton(McGovern)
Robertson VVD Digne Laporte(Lundstram)
Salah Sterling Perez Barkley(Dendoncker)
Jimenez Wilson(4.5m fwd - currently Surridge - don't want price drops)

CSWS101

Pope (Button)
Laporte Digne Robertson Dunk (Targett)
Salah KDB Bilva Tielemans (Dedoncker)
Kane Jota (Wickham)

Pretty set on this.

Fair enough. I was actually considering some of those you mention, I just asked about Bilva because he was mentioned in a team above. I suppose the question is really, is it mad to start off without Aguero/Sterling/KDB (on the basis that one is brought in by GW4)?

I was also half thinking about going with Bilva as my only City attacker, for the first few GWs at least. He is a Pep favourite and he just seems to be constantly improving and is very important to the team now. City's opening fixtures are against established teams with good managers, other premiums have easier fixtures so thinking I should be targeting the budget on them. Be interested to hear others thoughts on it.

Thought I'd throw my current team out there for people to compare

Henderson (Button)
TAA Shaw Coleman Targett (Lundstram)
Salah BSilva Fraser Moutinho (Hayden)
Kane Vardy Deulofeu

This can be 433 or 343

Leaving aside my three definite fodders.

TAA a deserved champions league winner. He'll play 95% of games I'm certain.

United can't be as bad defensively as last year. With AWB seemingly needing to work on his attacking ability I'm hoping Shaw will find his side of the pitch well used. He was originally Ritchie but worried about his knock.

Everton despite fears have so far seems to have done OK defensively. I went Coleman over Digne so I could have that 0.5m to transfer with.

I love Targett what can I say. My downfall. I had Villa down as defensive donkeys for the season but their signings might do to prevent this somewhat.

Salah. Yes.

B Silva I think he can really kick on this season in a final product involvement kind of way. Also way my team is he's the only City I can get at the moment.

If Fraser plays like last season he's a bargain

Moutinho had great stats towards the end of the season for someone his price. Don't want to spend on Wolves because of various factors but I think he's a low cost chance.

Kane looks lean and mean. If he sets off like a lunatic he could score huge at the start of this season.

Vardy. With some interest on what Perez is up to on the pitch he might actually find himself with greater opportunities and he likes to take advantage.

Deulofeu is a gamble. Simple as. Has good fixtures to start if he can do anything hell be worth it for a few weeks at least anyway.

I've no Sterling and no easy way of getting him bar killing Harry. First GW will tell all.

What formation are you playing? That front 7, you're going to have a minimum 6m player on the bench. I'd be putting more money into your starting 11. You need some City in there.

I believe the five you are taking about are Zinchenko, Emerson, Gomez, Johnson and Lamela?
I am pretty certain that all five start next weekend. It looks like Emerson has won the Chelsea job, Gomez started yesterday so I'm taking a risk on him because he won the job to start last season and Mendy didn't even make the bench yesterday so it looks like he is a couple of weeks away.
Ben Johnson looks to have overtaken Zabaleta at West Ham and Fredericks, the no.1, looks like he won't be ready for next weekend. I've got the money in the bank to replace Zinchenko and Johnson when needs be. I'm taking Johnson hoping I can make .1 off him. A 4.0 starter will get bought heavily I'd imagine.
As for Lamela, Son is suspended, Alli is injured and Poch pretty much said Ndombele won't be starting for a couple of games. Poch likes Lamela, a fellow Argie, and I'd expect him to get the first two weeks. If things go well he'll get longer if not then I'll jump ship.

The five I had were those except Barkley instead of Zinchenko. If you're confident of them all starting then yeah by all means take the plunge.

Just FYI, Delph is injured and will miss something like 3 weeks.

First serious draft. Will probably tweak it but I'm mad busy Thursday and Friday so can't see major changes (unless any are suggested here). Just to note, I always wildcard early so I'm not looking beyond 6 or 7 GWs:

GK: Pope & Heaton. Cheapest route to two playing GKs. Rotation gives SOU, BOU, EVE, cpl, WHU, NOR & BUR in first 7.

DEF: Robertson - I think he is far more secure than TAA. Trent is still prone to getting exposed and I can see the odd game (probably difficult ones in fairness) where Gomez is preferred at RB.
Laporte - Assuming he is fit he is the most nailed on City defender.
Digne - Everton aren't scoring many but are much tighter at the back it seems. He also has free kicks and corners.
Dunk - Hopefully he moves to Leicester but Brightons fixtures aren't the worst. I'll only play him if one of the 3 above miss out.
Lundstram - Currently the 4.0 de jour. Might change him if any other options appear.

MID: Salah - 10 shots v City yesterday. Going to have a high captaincy on Friday. Top points scorer 2 seasons in a row.
Sigurdsson - Penalties and fixtures, although Everton don't seem to be scoring at present. Could be talked out of this pick.
Fraser - Created the most big chances last season, 2 great fixtures to start and I don't want Wilson.
Perez - OOP in a Rodgers team. Worth the gamble.
Dendoncker - Break glass for 2 points in case of emergency only.

FWD: Aubameyang - My choice was Sterling or Auba for the first 2 weeks. I think Auba (with the captaincy in GW2) comes out ahead.
Jota - Hard to know with Wolves, but there isn't mny great options at the price (King is out as I have Fraser). Took a while to settle last season but was flying after Christmas.
Deeney - Really think he is under the radar. BRI, eve, WHU and new to start the season. He plays 90 minutes and has penalties in his locker.

The obvious flaw is no City attacking coverage. I'm hoping West Ham keep it tight and the Spurs home game is like the PL one and not the CL one! There is a Sterling (or KDB) plan for GW3.

Salah, Sterling, Barkley, Lamela, Dendoncker
Kane, Haller, Wesley

I've 1m in the bank to upgrade Zinchenko and Johnson to Mendy and Fredericks when it's time.
Lamela looks like starting the first couple and I'm intending to bring in Ndombele as soon as he gets starts.
I think Haller is going to rip it up so he is deffo staying. I like Wesley too and I'm willing to start with him, looking at Ings if he gets going early as his replacement. Keeping my eye on Jiminez too in case I'm wrong about Haller.
