    Posted about him in the other thread. Could be a real gem. But imo way overpriced at 6.0.

    Kovacic is only 5.5 and will prob get more game time

    Mount is more attacking than Kovacic though, he has 3 goals in pre-season so he could be good value if he nails down a spot. I guess he's competing with Barkley for that CAM role. It's too early to tell who Lampard favours but he's shown at Derby he's not afraid of throwing youngsters straight in.

    Any love for Che Adams? I like the look of saints this season, a full pre season under Hasenhuttel should make a big difference.

    Intrigued by him as well.

    Southampton have had a habit of starting well in seasons past after a refresh of the squad.

    But it's certainly punty :)

    Too expensive a punt for me . If he was 5.5 I may have stuck him in instead of Greenwood
    I am resigned now to having to find a different 3rd striker
    I won’t get one for 4.5
    I can raise 0.5 by downgrading zaha to Perez which I’m thinking about doing anyway but I was going to keep the 0.5 for gw2 transfers . Did that last few years and it’s very handy .
    Could also chance both kelly and lundstrum instead of Duffy and lundstrum . That’s gives me one million but it’s risky

    He's in a humandhaw I have right now with Rodriguez and Ings.
    Even Pukki and Krmic from Norwich but I'm waiting a while to see how they go.

    Yeah, I've him in my team at the minute - was him/Joelinton or Wesley (Villa) who I felt could start well.

    I've gone with him as he's coming from scoring in the Premier League and will settle better.

    Also, Ralph Hasthelnutt (or however you spell it) wanted him so he's guaranteed to start.

    Will Perez definitely start for Leicester?

    I know they've spent a lot on him, but I'm still not sure...might get Maddison in instead if I can work it that way.

    Any love for David Silva? Seems to be having a good pre-season, the guy is still one of the best midfielders in the league and proven to get goals and assists with City often spreading the points around. At 7.5 he just enables so much elsewhere compared to KDB.

    While there's a rotation risk I don't think this is there at the very start and City will go with their best team which I've no doubt Silva is a part of.

    He started the friendly vs Stoke last week up alongside Vardy.

    Interesting - I know Rodgers likes two up top typically and he if he's the one he'll be a bargain as a midfielder.

    I'll keep an eye out coz I feel he could be real value.

    Brandon Pierrick got a run out with the Crystal Palace senior squad and looked comfortable scoring two goals in a 2-2 draw with AFC Wimbledon. It wasn't the first team that played, mainly squad depth, but his performance was noted by a lot of people. He is only 17 and I'm wondering if he might get an opportunity after that showing.
    He is not part of the Crystal Palace on FPL right now.

    I have Wesley on my draft Fantasy Team

    https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/jul/21/wesley-moraes-aston-villa-striker

    Bit of info in the above article made me think he might be worth a punt

    Nice story but only 30 goals across 2 seasons in Belgium doesn't fill me with much confidence......

    Me either and he will probably be similar to Benteke last couple of seasons and il transfer him out after 3 gameweek

    But he could be a nice differential e.g Richarlison at Watford

    Well you can't really go by that Belgium league but I like what I've seen of Wesley in preseason and I watched highlights from his Belgian days recently and he was doing the same things.
    I think he will score a fair few goals but I expect a lot of assists too. He has good feet for a big man and seems an excellent passer and crosser of the ball. The other thing I really like about him is his urgency when he lays the ball off, he sprints forward and wants the ball. He is not afraid to have a pop at goal from anywhere. He is also on penalties.
    I'll be taking a chance on him for week 2.

    You are talking me into it
    He means less of a downgrade at the back 2
    And a lot of the 6.5 strikers have dodgy fixtures whereas he has a run of 3 home games in 4
    I will chance him I think
    Thanks

    Emery generally eases new players in so he may not start straight away...

    Playing beside two very greedy strikers.

    Not very likely to be on penos and his goal scoring stats include penos.

    For 9.5m you can get the central striker at Arsenal and their penalty taker.

    KDB is 9.5m and is a tried and tested points getter in a successful team.

    Montoya has been playing as a wing back in pre-season. Might be a better option than Dunk at the same price.

    Ya I have him in now too. Have you seen much of Trossard in pre-season? Sounds like a good prospect, think he might be my punt now.

    Can't find anything concrete on Foyths injury and how long he might be out for. He's suspended for the 1st 2 games obviously but id feel more comfortable if I thought I could make it to WC in week 5/6.
