He'd want to buck up this season. Not good enough Willy.

I think the rapid price changes at the start of the season this year did not suit his style.
With his one transfer max per week craic.

The tinkering continues....

I had Ozil and Sane, but am now looking to switch to Ramsey and KDB. Sane and Ramsey are both rotation risks (maybe Sane safer), but I fancy KDB over Ozil. 

Crucially, this switch frees up 1.0m....I will most likely use this to upgrade Gayle to Iheanacho (providing that transfer goes through) and Lindelof to Bailly.

Any thoughts on the above?

Ederson

Walker
Stones
Kompany
Mendy

Fernandinho

Sane
KDB
David Silva
Jesus

Aguero

Think this is what we can expect from City on opening day? Maybe Bernardo Silva starting ahead of one of those front 5?

I took 80 points of hits last season and kicked his ass.

I like it. Thinking something similar myself.

Maybe I saw a vid on you tube where they named a predicted line up.
KDB was not in it but sane was.
Bernardo Silva took KDB's place
The logic was that Sane was signed by Pep and is a Pep player

Pep now rumoured to be in for mbappe
May have to avoid them for start at this rate

Benitez on Elliot and looking to sign a new keeper. Seems promising that Elliot can hold the shirt at least initially.

Benitez, speaking at Sports Direct in Dublin, said: “The main thing for Rob Elliot is to be fit and he’s training hard after playing the final three games of last season.

“He is a good goalkeeper but I want him to compete.

“You can’t have players that think this is easy because they are the only one in that position.

“Hopefully we can bring in a new goalkeeper, and this competition will be good for the team.”

Are people not picking Sanchez because they think he won't be there or is it the arrival of Lacazette?

I don't think I can ignore him if he's fit and playing.

12ml
Has not had any preseason
Will probably be leaving
If he doesn't I may get him back in wildcard

If that is true I think you are right to avoid them.
The other alternative is the two liverpool fellas both at 9m Salah and Countinho.
But that means if you have Sane at 8.5 you have to rejig the team a bit

That is a good sign for Ireland and fpl wise.
Unless he does something disastrous he won't be dropped

Phil Bardsley signs for burnley

Is gabbadini good value at 7. Saints have good start.

Hard to know if he starts...Austin seems a good option too. Shane Long is there of course too!

Hahahahahahahaha. Sorry man, not laughing at you, it's Gabbiadini. He's hated around here, including by me. Messed up teams last year with his woefulness.

Setting aside my hatred for the man and trying to be objective, he finished the season terribly and Austin is in form in pre-season. All Soton strikers carry the risk of rotation but Charlie seems the smart pick.

Yeah, would be surprised to not see Bernardo Silva start

He's in my team at the moment. May not have finished great last season but that was pretty much ehen the league was over. Overall did very well for them.

Arnie anybody? Could do well at West Ham, they have Man U away first but good fixtures after that.

Always regretted not getting him when he was on one of his hot streaks where he seemed to be either creating or getting goals

One of the many players Ive transferred in whilst on a streak only for them to have a dip in form the weekend I pick them

Anyone any idea of what price Chicharito will be?

normanoffside

Chicharito added at 7.0m. Bargain!
