9 league games between Nov 29 and Jan 1

Hhhmmmmmm may need to hold first wildcard longer than planned




There is absolutely no way this will happen

spock.

Benteke's price will be interesting.

HUD, liv, SWA, bur, SOT is a nice start for him, taking his record against Liverpool into account.

He will still be around the 7.5 mk id say

A double up of Utd defenders looks likely based on those fixtures.

Puel sacked.

When does this game usually come back up? I thought it was when the fixtures were announced but it seems too early as of yet.

Probably had better offers but obviously wanted a guarantee of decent gametime.

Said he'd always wanted to work with Shakespeare. He must be getting the two of them mixed up maybe. Who would move to work with Shakespeare the manager!

Jaysus it isn't Sergio Ramos we are talking about
They are as big a club as he could hope for
Good fit imo

To buy, or not to buy, that is the question.

Everton have signed Klaassen from Ajax. Very good stats as an attacking mid over the last few years, albeit in the Dutch league. Barkley likely to be sold as was expected anyway.

True, couldn't see him been signed by one of the top 4 clubs but maybe someone like Everton, United or Arsenal.

Necronomicon

Sooo...United's new CB can do this...

So Ronaldo wants to leave Real wonder will he be tempted to go back to United?

Surely the German and Italian clubs couldn't afford his wages

hufpc8w3adnk65

So...... how much is Ronaldo going to start off at next season with United?

If Matt Ryan can produce anything like the form he did at Atlanta he is going to be a serious asset for Brighton in this game.

Somewhere, I hope there's someone named Manuel Pochettrini, so I can get him, Pellegrino, Manuel Pelligrini and Mauricio Pochettino together for some form of reality show. I haven't got all the angles worked out yet, but I bet it'd be a winner.

Chelsea seem to be in for Sandro at left back for €40m - would put a dent in Alonso's appeal if that goes through?

It would dent it like a car compactor would dent a 1975 Fiat!!

Sandro would be 1st choice.

Alex Sandro is much better than Alonso. He would be in everyone's team if 6.0 or less

Absolutely
Alonso is not very good in reality
He won't be first choice next year if conte has his way with signings

CSF

I don't want to live in an FPL world without Alonso.

mectavba

It's worth remembering that Chelsea are back in Europe this year, which will most likely see a lot more rotation of the side. In particular with those wing back slots. So while Sandro could be first choice, it is quite likely Alonso will see a lot of game time against your Huddersfields, Burnleys etc, which will limit the appeal of both.

eagle eye

Alonso could possibly move to central defense.

If so I imagine his attacking points could be curtailed too so probably not worth the inevitable hefty price (I imagine 7.0 or maybe even 7.5)

And they would keep no clean sheets
He is not a good defender

Trimm Trabb

Guardian linking Sanchez with City - I already think they will win it but if that goes through they will score so many goals. He will be absolute fantasy gold.

km79

If Sanchez moves to city it lessens his appeal not heightens it
He will be rotated

Also city are in for Alex Sandro as well

Pure speculation at this stage, but with Firmino playing up front all last season, and moving his squad number to 9, do people expect him to be a Forward this year?

It's interesting alright. Himself and Sanchez could be listed as strikers and it would be a fair call.

Some players being changed in position, for next season, are fairly obvious but I suppose it depends on how they decide.

Will they go purely on how many times they played in a certain position last season or will they go with the likelyhood of where they're likely to play next season.

There are a few players that I'm looking forward to seeing what they are listed as.

They've not changed many in the last few years really despite the changes in formations teams have been using. Hopefully this isn't the year they decide to go crazy and move a load of players forward having said that we do need more forwards in the game not many options last season at times.
