Why are we all so sure aguero is gonna be starting gw1
I’m having grave doubts about going with him

You're right to be worried, it's like parallel universes colliding seeing Aguero with Wes from love island in that photo.

Can't afford Coleman or Keane, do people think Williams will partner Keane?

2nd half was mostly first teamers. 1st half wasn't

Anyone any good suggestions for a 5.5 and a 5.0M striker?

Also most nailed on Watford defender for 4.5M?

You guys convinced me to BB GW1 so aiming for all starters.

Km79 persuaded me to get Sanchez in :pac:

If it’s for bench would you not just go with Quaner. Been playing pre season and should start.

I’m not sure how that happened
I have not even talked myself fully into it
But I’m getting there .........one or 2 of my other favs will have to go though

Midfield is where all the fun and value is.

Would gladly line up 3-6-1

Does anyone have stats on clean sheets during the early gameweeks of each season.

I seem to recall a discussion 1 or 2 seasons ago that CS are generally few and far between for the first 5/6 weeks but then some counter claimed that (or was it the other way around ?!?#@!?)

I remember making a detailed post on it a few years back but can’t remember which side of the debate it fell on.

I’ll try and dig it out tonight and post it.

Any good pre season fantasy football podcasts knocking about ?

‘Who got the assist’ was ok but hard to listen to.

The Fantasy Football Scout is ok too but one of the guys (jonty or something like that) is hard to listen to and comes across a tad juvenile. And not the good kind of juvenile.

Any others worth listening to ?

From my recollection the opening GW's are high scoring games.

Jagielka is slight favourite to start beside Keane but they are in the hunt for another CB.

I like FML FPL.

Anyone read the interview with Luke Shaw in the guardian?

References encouraging messages Mourinho has been sending him over the summer about his belief in him as a player and regarding his summer fitness regime. Has a link to an Instagram photo where he looks in good condition. Looks like he is a solid pick for first few games unless he makes a mistake or else Mou is just torturing him.

He had talked a good game before
Came back early last preseason(or maybe the one before that ) to get get super fit too ......

Its Yerry Mina from Barca by the looks of things and could be an excellent set piece threat given his 3 goals at the World Cup

Deciding to start off with Daniels or Cedric is proving to be one of my more head scratching decisions.

From memory Daniels has high ownership and Cedric could miss first couple of weeks.

I had a great ‘fixture difficulty’ bookmark from last season but stupidly deleted it and now I can find a user friendly one.

Bournemouth have signed Diego Rico as their new left back from Leganes so Daniels spot could be up for grabs

I think Tosun is the safe option to start with. Can we really say Richy will start every game? I'm not so sure. Could be gold though.

For the same price as Tosun you can have Zaha or Arnautovic which makes more sense

Lads what do you reckon about picking Lacazette? He started up top and Auba on the wing in preseason. He may not score as much as Auba but hes a good bit cheaper!

I’ve dumped both of them. I think Daniels will be fine for starts but Bournemouth just aren’t great defensively even though he’ll have his double digit games.

Gonna chance Shaw instead as I want a United defender.

I would think it would be

Gueye
Richi/Siggy/Walcott
Niasse

But honestly I'm not sure. I'd like to see Walcott up front for a lovely FPL prospect.

Has Walcott played up front in preseason at all?

Shaw could be an excellent shout with all the injuries they have in the FB/WB positions at the minute. If he plays well he could take youngs spot.

Harry Maguire is the other one to look out for it he moves.

I think if you wan into the United defense then DDG is the way to go. Outscored then all by 30 points and is 0.5mil cheaper than Valencia

Rico is suspended for the first 3 gws. Having said that I'm done with Daniels that ship has well and truly sailed.

Jay egersdorf usually does a weekly thing usually a decent listen short and sweet 10-15 mins.

He has some subscription service thing this year aswell but I think the Youtube videos are staying. Agreed aswell, good listen.

Just on podcasts, what's the best medium to listen/save them all in one place on Android? It all seems a bit all over the place, partly why I could never get in to any podcast regularly barring the FFScout one which I find fantastic

I’ve used several over the years but once I started using ‘pocket casts’ I stopped looking.

Hasn't played at all,injured is the official line, fall out with Silva is also rumoured

It's Walcott, both theories seem very likely. Possibly both are true.

NoviGlitzko

Richarlison for the same price is the smarter option there.
