    Does he start gw1 though

    Ahead of Foyth? Absolutely

    Aurier seems to have one foot out the door, and anyway hes an absolute liability defensively (not saying Doherty is great either) so Jose doesn't fancy him

    2 weeks is a fairly short timespan though isn't it. And Aurier is still there for time being

    Have you seen the tweet from the spurs official twitter account. Well played, I must say. I won't spoil it by explaining it.

    Wonder what he’ll come in at - 8.0, 8.5, 9.0?

    8.5 or 9 would be my guess

    Leicester are signing Castagne from Atalanta. Seems like a good player, mainly a right-back, but is incredibly versatile, can also play in a back three as a centre-back or at left back. Hopefully he comes in at 4.5.

    Diangana seems to be going to WBA, I thought for a second that he might be a decent cheap option and should get plenty of gametime at WBA but when I checked his FPL price; 5.5, too much for him. There was talk of Callum Robinson going to WBA which would have made him a decent option as a 5.5 striker. Haven't seen anything about that recently, hopefully it is still on the cards.

    I'm very excited by the news Diagana is going to West Brom. I thought he was a terrific addition to their team and he was probably my second-favourite of their side after Pereira. If he was 5m he'd be straight in my side but think 5.5m is tempting.

    He's a talented player and I'm surprised WH let him go but I don't see him being much of an FPL asset tbh.

    Ceballos has rejoined Arsenal on loan. Maybe not a great fpl asset but he was an important player for them especially after Arteta took over and helps their other fpl assets i feel

    Mark Noble put out a tweet saying he's gutted and angry about the transfer, doesn't seem like a happy camp at the moment. Apparently he was sold to fund defensive recruits and they want Tarkowski. It'd be a step down for him.

    Anything lower than 9 will be a bargain

    Wolves are looking into signing Marcal from Lyon, a left back. This would impact the minutes for Vinagre.

    Newcastle have agreed a fee for Callum Wilson so looks like he'll be back to troll us for another season.

    Wolves have also broken their transfer record to sign a Portuguese striker I've never heard of. Another one for the Mendes collection

    He’s a Football Manager future best in the world type.

    I don’t think he’s worth consideration for obvious reasons, but I think he might cut other Wolves attackers’ value.

    They will want to give him minutes and I think the bulk of those might be at the point where games have already been won. Jimenez could be one to suffer.

    So you're saying he's effectively a Vulture Points signing???!!!?? :-)

    I would think so. They didn’t sign this guy for that price to give him no minutes at all. Unless he goes on loan, he would carry that worry for me.

    What you think would be his entry point in the game - 7.0 be fair?

    Has to be 6.5 max in a Bruce team.

    He could well be 6.5 or even 7 but he and Newcastle would have to show some serious form before I'd pay more than 6 for Wilson.

    Castagne in @ 5.5, thats disappointing. Hopefully he will play CB or LB and Justin will still start at RB, Pereira will presumably go straight in at RB when he returns so probably doesn't make sense for Rogers to put Castange there for a few weeks as they have cover there already but are short on the other side of defense.

    He was 8m last season, do you think he'd be less in Newcastle than Bournemouth?

    he was 8 coming off a season of 14 goals 9 assists, last season was 8 and 1.

    Think 6.5 would be fair,

    No player in the Newcastle squad is over 6m, and while he was 8m last season there was large periods of the season that he didn't score/assist so unlikely to be that high, anything under 7m i think it would be worth a punt as cheap 3rd striker. 7m is probably fair thinking about it.

    I'd say Vinagre will be ahead of him in the pecking order. Looks like a backup signing while Jonny is out. He can also play at centre back.

    He's bloody 5m. He could be another Jorginho, but seems a decent cheap shout.

    Marcal will play left centre back in the back 3.

    Saiss is the one losing his place.
