Danny Ward to Leicester for edit* £12.5m. Could be a £4.5m fpl starter more likely Schmeichel moves to Chelsea now I suppose

Would have been even sweeter if he was priced at 4 million.

Everton close to signing Richarlison from Watford in a deal worth £50m https://t.co/bvG5OsGDW0 via @MailOnline

Was looking at Walcott with Evertons early season fixtures but Ricky could be my man now.

Siggy being one ml extra could make me regretfully not have him
If he is central and in set pieces though........

Siggy needs runners and to be played at 10, Ricky on the left running behind defenders could be a big plus for both.

6.5 for Ricky who is well rested after no break last year could just swing it his way.

FPL 2018/19 could have me starting with Siggy & Mata... Solid reliables but pretty retro.

Genuinely in my team for now
Along with a few other old favs

I didn't enjoy last season. At all. So i kind of decided to own a few of them again for the craic. And now it seems it may even make sense for a bit!

But I am now also considering rotating Foster with Fabiasnki. So I clearly still hate myself

Necronomicon

Giving strong consideration to Fabianski + 4.0. Is it madness to have a West Ham goalkeeper as set and forget?

2 new CB's that I've never seen play again. Could go either way

SlickRic

Atsu on penalties seemingly.

Wan-Bissaka starts again for Palace. Tempting to take the punt on him now.

He's only 4m. Probably looking like the best 4m option at the moment.

The Zaha/Tosun/Arnie conundrum will be giving me serious sleepless nights.

Zaha in my current draft, I think over the course of the season that Arnie is the best shout but Crystal Palace have much nicer opening fixtures.

Tosun the most natural a goalscorer of the 3 though. He’s the one in my current draft.

Paper talk of Zaha wanting away, Everton and Dortmund interested, apparently.

Dont disagree but is he nailed on? And I think Siggy is a better Everton cover.

I think he is. Sigurdsson will have to step up in a bigger way in his 2nd season to be a better option IMO. If Tosun can carry on his goal rate from last season and end up with about 13/14 goals I will not be heartbroken. At the moment I’m looking at a 13.5 Richarlison/Tosun commitment to Everton’s early decent fixtures.

Coleman/Siggy myself for same reasons, I'm an old romantic at heart, cant let the old reliables go, too many good memories

I’m closely monitoring that 4.5 Everton defender situation. If they don’t sign one then somebody is a starter and with the transfer deadline closing beforehand, we will know.

I think Coleman could be worth the extra too though. He's arguably under priced.

I'm sitting here racking my brains trying to fit Sane, Salah, Sanchez and Aguero into the same team. Coleman is unlikely to fit that bill unless I try a new approach.

I thought about Sanchez and then I decided against all United attacker until Pogba is available.

Jose is just too defensive for my liking. Sanchez scored big playing for an attacking Arsenal team. I’m just not willing to spend that much on a United attacker.

The big difficulty I’m having is going with Salah and a 6m striker or Mane and Firmino.

Fear alone, which is a shame, has me thinking Salah and probably Austin or Niasse.

I'm tempted but not convinced by Sanchez too. Are you ever gonna Captain him? Too much money if not.

I'm thinking of playing the 'value' game a bit more this season. That principle isn't everyone's cup of tea, but if you have Salah and gonna almost certainly captain every week at least initially I definitely don't think you need another 3 premium players.

Martial linked to Chelsea to replace hazard. Would be the best value player in the game if that happened
Loads of stories in all papers about him still wanting to leave too

Yeah I’d be all over that but I’m not sure I could see Jose doing that deal.
