    Pieters is the other option, would give me another 0.5m

    Pieters will lose his place. Taylor is No.1 there.

    Chelsea are just not defensively sound.

    I noticed you have no Everton defenders. I’d be trying to fit one of them in.

    I’ve had double Everton up to now. I’m struggling to get the money to fit one in

    Strange to switch from 2 to 0.

    I’d switch KWP & Christensen, Get Mina and a 4.5 defender.

    Every week you will be playing

    Mina and then 2 of Dunk,Soyuncu, Lundy & 4.5 choice.

    That’s good options to be fair

    Will do that actually
    But then do you go for Mina over Zinkco?

    Pope Button
    Laporte AWB Digne Kelly Lundstram
    Mané Sterling KDB Martial Cantwell
    Rashford Pukki Wickham

    Can rotate between 3-5-2 and 4-4-2.

    Laporte & Rashford could become Kane & Montoya...

    Who would you choose lads:

    Adrian - Walkers-Peters - Soyuncu - Rashford

    or

    De Gea - Rose - TAA - 4.5

    The first draft has a more than capable defense. I think the latter is more reliable, however I'm afraid of missing the boat with Rashford. What do you guys think?

    Thinking

    Salah, Pérez, Siggy, Wood, Wilson, Jota

    To

    Mané, Trossard, McGinn, Barnes, Kane, Pukki

    Is it too reactionary?

    A question I asked in another thread, what is the basis of McGinn ahead of Ceballos?

    Honestly, I have barely paid attention to the PL so far this season and McGinn was a name I was toying with at the start.

    They’re not so bad, and Arsenal’s goal expectation is probably similar enough against decent teams than Villa’s will be against middle of the road teams.

    McGinn is a class act and beloved by myself and all Villa fans but I think if we’re looking for a player to turn their unproductive stats season/class actual season from last year into a better year for goal production it’s Grealish IMO.

    Fair point about Grealish. He was in a couple of drafts. Is he still on free kicks?

    I haven’t seen much football this year so going off the sites. What’s with the 🙂Thossard love? Are Brighton looking sharp? I’ve wildcarded and have him in my team +1m.

    I know Zaha was poor but was thinking Zaha or Maddison who is always impressive.

    Hourihane is the free kick master when he plays. Grealish might take some of the crossing ones, but Hourihane is better at those also.



    With that said, with Douglas Luiz coming in, Hourihane will probably spend more minutes on the bench than the pitch. Nakamba will provide competition also.

    Surely if ye're going rotating keepers one of them has to be Adrian? 4.5 and playing for the best defence in the league from last season.

    Love the midfield, don't think there's much need for Rashford though when you have Martial.

    Maybe Barnes there and an extra premium defender ahead of Pieters or Dunk?

    I like your team's, am I making a mistake with my budget defence?
    And focusing on attack?

    Thoughts on this team? Very happy with the midfield but still on the fence about upfront and defence.

    Options: Downgrade pukki to a 4.5m and use the 2.3 to upgrade the defence (play 4-5-1 every week rotating Aub and Kane)

    Downgrade Kane to Rashford or the likes and use the 2.5m to upgrade defence

    Playuers on my radar - Zinchenko, Matip, Emerson, Lacazette, Keane,

    Pope, Heaton,
    Digne, Maitland-Niles, Dunk, Soyuncu, Lundstram
    Salah, Sterling, KDB, Mount, Ceballos
    Abraham, Haller, Pukki

    What do people think?

    Catastrophic wildcard so far. Don't even want to calculate how many points I'm down. But it's judged over a number of weeks right?!

    Half thinking of Wildcarding to

    Pope (Button)

    Zinchenko - Mings - Lundstram

    Salah - Sterling - KDB - Cantwell - Dendoncker

    Kane - Pukki - Wesley

    Leaves 9.9 for two defenders.

    Although Aguero instead of Sterling and switched a mid also in my thoughts after today.

    Think I need to wild card to survive in the LMS going forward - must be the only one without Salah. Will also help me get rid of Zomua, Maguire and Siggy.

    Would you keep Kane or Auba, if dumping one for Aguero?

    Auba
    But tbh I think with so much value and options in midfield there id spend my money there and just go with one premium striker
    Not Kane

    Wildcard activivated

    Pope (Stekelenburg)

    VvD Mings Kelly (Hanley, Lundstram)

    Salah Sterling KdB Pepe (Cantwell)

    Pukki Haller Wesley

    ————

    I’m happy with the attackers and all set on them. Only up for debate is VvD to Everton defender & Pope to Adrian then

    So tempted but I'd like to see a fourth game. Forced to do one transfer early so any midweek injuries might force my hand.

    If we believe that Liverpool and city are going to run away in the league again, would be mad to put all eggs into one basket and just load up with Salah, Mane, Sterling, KdB and Aguero and get bargain basement for all other positions?

    Is it possible.

    Don’t think it is a strategy. All things considered and good fortune your looking at about 1400 points from those 5 with same captain picked.

    Where do you want to finish.. is Top 5k another 800 points I’d say... would bargain players contribute that... no is the short answer
