    Brighton have signed Neal Maupay from Brentford.
    Joint top scorer last season, in the Championship.

    Might be another Earnshaw, Gayle!

    Harry Wilson on his way to Bournemouth apparently. 16 goals and 4 assists from 40 starts last year for Derby. I can't imagine he'll be going to sit on the bench

    Liverpool want guaranteed playing time for him as well or they won't let him go. I think he's a good option if he's around 5/5.5m but more likely to be way more than that after last season.

    Liverpool usually put clauses in their loans that the clubs have to pay a fine if the loanee does not play a certain number of games. That could be key in ensuring that Wilson gets gametime at Bournemouth.

    A good Championship record. Very average form when stepping up. He might be there to push the others.

    He's a good player. Really stepped up last season. I fancy he'll be nailed on the right wing(Brooks is out injured for a few months). He's quite selfish though. I wonder could that impact negatively on Wilson and King.

    Norwood at Sheff Utd is of some interest, on free kicks corners and potentially a penalty taker if McGoldrigh is phased out of the first team.

    The manager here is apparently very innovative with his footballing ideas, sometimes using overlapping Cbs in attack and the same for set pieces were they gained quite well at the end of last season.

    Ravel Morrison joined them also I'll just be interested in general to see how he gets on.

    I reckon Callum Robinson will start really well. Long term, I'm not so sure, but those fixtures are very tempting. 12, 7 and 10 goals in his last 3 seasons.

    BOU (A)
    CRY (H)
    LEI (H)
    CHE (A)
    SOU (H)
    EVE (A)

    Gavin Kilkenny might be one to keep an eye on. Irish lad at Bournemouth, hasn't been added to the game but could/should be a 4.5m addition hopefully.

    He started Bournemouth's final preseason friendly vs Lazio. Played a big role in their first goal and scored the second in a 3-0 win. Strong Bournemouth team as you would expect from last friendly.

    If Tark moves to Leicester then Gibson at 4.0 might come into play. Signed for big money last summer and never really given a chance I think he could take Mee's place either

    Doubt he’d ever oust Mee and might not even be ahead of Long.

    Talk of Long leaving this summer for Forest

    Kieran Tierney heading to Arsenal. Will be a few weeks before he's fit but definitely one for the watchlist.

    Added at 6. Way too expensive. Doubt many will pick him at that price.

    Had Norwood in every draft (like Aarons) but I swapped them both out for Lundstram and Perez+1m instead. I've been burnt too many times as newly promoted teams play ultra conservatively in the opening weeks while they try and find their feet. I'll revisit both at the international break or a week or two later when I WC.

    Maybe till Brooks is available but King and Wilson get all the goals. You can have either for not much more than some unproven young "talent". Could just as easily be an early way to lose value

    He's quality. 16 goals and 4 assists last season. Not to be sniffed at. Not to mention he's had the benefit of working with his Liverpool colleagues over pre-season. I fancy him to be nailed starting out. I wouldn't be surprised if he scored very closely to Fraser.

    As a Callum Wilson owner this is an absolute disaster. Every week could be a rollercoaster.

    I spent ages thinking about what you might mean tactically there. Then it dawned on me.

    I think we will need a rule that any Wilson goal shouts should include the first name.

    How about we call Harry "Hilson" and Callum "Cilson" just like we christen the Silvas for City. :D

    Well just so long as the Assist is prominently displayed. That should satisfy everyone.

    Is anyone sticking in Martinelli as their cheap 4.5m fwd fodder?? I really don't want to pick Greenwood, it feels like he's a price drop waiting to happen. Martinelli is less than 1% owned probably safe from price drops. Auba/Laca/Pepe will almost certainly be the front 3, but after that Mkhi and Martinelli are the only options after Iwobi, Welbeck and Nketiah have all left. He may get some minutes and is a very talented lad from what i saw.

    Greenwood is one injury away from starting. Martinelli is a lot further away
