    That's quite common isn't it? I had Ryan and Button until I realised Button had gone to West Brom.

    Tough to know, hes not going to score as many as Ings last season but looks settled as the second striker now. Hopefully he can kick on and become a 15 goal a season striker.

    Adams has been in most of my drafts, but I've currently swapped him for a punt on Nketiah. Surely gets a goal somewhere across those first two fixtures. Martinez is the other one. Does he start the season?

    I'm not convinced by Antonio. He did really well as centre forward after the lockdown but has played on the wing a lot in preseason.

    I considered KWP for my squad but won't he be rotated a bit with Valery?

    Are you planning on an early wildcard?

    I think the teams will start to become a little more different once the Manchester clubs start playing again.

    McCarthy/Steer
    Robertson, Egan, Vinagre, Johnson, Walker-Peters
    Mane, Aubameyang, Gordon, Bergwijn, Saint-Maximin
    Calvert-Lewin, Ings, Werner

    Will have to bring Rashford or KDB in soon though

    The things I'd do for a 4.0 midfielder...

    Edit: Fucking hell, another 2 man upheaval in order to fit a third. I've also joined Jimmy's star man bandwagon (although I expect it may take him a week or two to get motoring).

    Two points I feel could be the making or breaking of me:

    - I'm avoiding Mitro and Vinagre hoping for slow starts and price deflations. The former's team is dogshit and the latter's team will struggle and I'm not even sure if he'll be guaranteed a start.

    - The Nathan Ferguson conundrum. If I wasn't Jewing my transfers I'd start with Johnson but I feel tempted to back what will inevitably be the fantasy star of this season.

    My thinking with this is he’ll either be number 1 for Arsenal or Villa.

    OK, cards on the table

    Ramsdale, Nyland
    Alexander-Arnold, Digne, Tierney, Creswell, Thomas
    Dendoncker, Aubameyang, Havertz, Ward-Prowse, Fernandes
    Antonio, Werner, Davis

    Havertz at 8.5 and Thomas 4.5 are the value players there. The former, and I haven't been Bielsa-ing Cobham but it makes total sense, will surely take our penalties, as well as everything else. With Thomas, unless I'm missing something - and I could well be - with Chilwell gone and Fuchs injured for a time, he'll surely be Leicester's starting left back.

    Timothy Castagne can play left back.

    Although I hope you're right because I really rate Luke Thomas.

    If KDB goes up in price before GW2 kicks off my plans are in ruins. He won't, will he? Surely everyone will hold off until GW3.

    Does Werner not take penalties? I had in my mind that he'd probably be taking them, no idea why. Also, is Havertz going to start in week 1? I tend to think Mount, Ziyech and one other (Pulisic if fit) would be more likely to start behind Werner - due to having had more time on the training ground etc.

    I'm all about Doucouré at the moment, as part of a BLM engine room alongside Bissouma and 'Naby Lad'.

    The game is crying out for a £4m midfielder. I've also been slightly tempted to implement the 'keeper strategy (having the starter and the back-up) for Liverpool rightbacks, as superstition has always held me back from fully committing to any of their attacking players (somewhat catastrophically) - £4m for Williams and if he doesn't play oh well, it's £0.5m in the bank (I'm very fearful TAA won't start against Leeds due to his lack of pre-season).

    He wasn't for Leipzig according to my detailed, three minute research, whereas Kai was doing so for Bayer 04 Leverkusen.

    Havertz is more of an investment because I think he should be 10+ and is 8.5, and I tend to be a late wildcard user.

    I mean I'd have Nico, Curtis, Rhian and Kelly Dalglish's ovaries in my squad if I could but what the fuck sort of shit are you up to Niko if you don't have 3 Liverpool players already (and Naby is one of the ones you do)?

    I had Robbo and TAA (and Keita). Robbo went under the bus to free up midfield funds, hence the Wiliiams gambit.

    I also have a build with TAA, Salah and Mané.

    I find it impossible to be objective and so don't really like puting all my eggs in the Liverpool basket really for fear of double disappointment. Obviously this has been a very bad strategy for the past 3 seasons or so.

    I've just done another squad with KDB, Fernandes, Aubameyang, Havertz, Werner, TAA and a lot of assorted discount [shite]. I quite like the team but I can't really work out how to get to it in GW 2/3 without wildcarding - only working strategy is to sub out Salah for Fernandes in Wk1, then Mané for De Bruyne in week 2, but those two being more expensive means the rest of the team is impossible to get right in the first instance.

    Aye, there's going to be a huge surge in ownership of him and Fernandes, isn't there, which is going to fuck everything up.

    Do you really need KDB for an away trip to Wolves, the toughest fixture on the calendar?

    No, but if he goes up in value because loads of people put him in then it becomes a pain in the arse to easily transfer him in with best laid plans and all that, no?

    That said, he's already in 30% of teams for GW1 so I don't know how much scope there is for demand led price rises.

    Sterling had a stellar game against Wolves last year so it is possible to score points against them.

    I assume he’ll be playing instead of one of Thomas/James but I had no idea who so felt best to leave out.

    That Johnson geezer got West Ham could be good value. Started last few games after lockdown and is only 4m regardless of whether or not Fredericks starts.

    Ferguson is currently recovering from injury. Mitchell might play as van Aanholt not back yet. Vinagre might start the season but be wary, Marcal has been signed and Wolves are after another left sided defender while Vinagre might move to Porto.

    Yeah, Ferguson won't go down in value and he's nailed on starter. Mitchell is just a one week starter so no point.

    Last decision, Richarlison for Wilson or saving the 1.5 for De Bruyne in week 3.

    Aubameyang's in something like 50% of teams, and is clearly going to be massively captained today. Giving serious consideration to getting off that train for some sweet sweet points differential (admittedly probably in the wrong direction).

    I saw some quotes about Doherty getting eased into things at Spurs so I've swapped him to Tierney who has a nice run to start.

    McCarthy

    TAA
    Davies
    KWP

    Salah (C)
    Aubameyang
    Son
    Maximim
    Barnes

    Werner
    Adams

    -----
    Ryan
    Justin
    Mitchell
    Davis

    Had Havertz but then I had two 4.0 defenders which just wasn't gonna work out .

    Going for Mane over Salah

    This strategy has not worked well thus far today.

    Expect Saint-Maximin to score big next.

    Made my sub already and let me tell you, it's as if I've had a serious brain injury on the surface but deep down, it's one of the greatest moves since we sold Coutinho and got in VVD and Alison.
