Is there any consensus on the best 4.5 midfield option? Who is the RLC of this year?

You mean the Tom Carroll? :P

No standout I don't think - Stephens for Brighton will probably play, Chalobah for Watford if he is fit is my pick

Dale Stephens of Brighton seems to be the choice, but hard to see anyone of worth under 5.0.

Had a look into him.

2017-18, 6 goals & 5 assists in 37 last year
2016-17, 13 goals & 10 assists in 47 games
2015-16, 8 goals & 6 assists in 39 games

Captains goal in the Play Off final vs Villa too

In my team for the moment at his price

yep, a great squad filler to help the overall balance.

Grand thanks, trusty ol Stephens is in there already, just making sure I'm not missing a bargain!

Yeah i'm on the Cairney bus already. It's hard to imagine a cheap mid who will outscore him. He may even outscore all mids up to 6m. A bit more squad depth gives you the option to start him or be happy to have him as first sub

Good shout
I've moved back to aguero up top so happy to have him as my 5th mid
I'm getting closer now
Somehow VVD appeared back in my team this evening after 5 months of reading me last season and the decision to go him over Robertson gave me one final kick in the balls last day of season costing me a really really nice prize.
He is give again for pva anyway

And around and around I go LOL

Chelsea have another good 4.5 midfielder called Hudson-Odoi who's naturally a forward. He should play tomorrow against Arsenal but unlikely to get much game time unless they get injuries or he goes out on loan. One to keep an eye on though.

Lennon could be a good shout at 5.0 too depending on how Burnley do this year

Honestly i'm going nowhere near Burnley players so long as they're in the Europa League

Guardian previews by team started today, worth a read:

Hey guys,

Thinking of doing up a post up for all 4.5 and 4.0M potential starters for each team and who is highly unlikely to start. Would this interest anybody? Think it would be handy to have it all in one place. I'll likely need a lot of assistance but I think it's a decent idea.

Thoughts?

Max Meyer maybe joining palace

He played as more of a deep-lying playmaker than a number 10 last season. I expect he'll take the Cabaye role in the team.

I'd say he'll be priced quite high (6.5/7) so I'd steer clear for now

Yeah great idea, even have a list of who would be likely to step up from that price bracket in case of injury as well.

Most of the bottom teams have defenses who are mostly 4.5mil

Lads looking at slightly under the radar punts for the different positions, what do you lads reckon

GK: Fabianski (4.5), Patricio (4.5)
DEF: Pereira (5.0), David Luiz (5.5), Laporte (5.5), Fredricks (5.0), Evans (5.0)
MID: Cairney (5.0), Felipe Anderson (7.0), Jota (6.5), Madison (6.5)
ATT: Ings if he moves to CP (5.5), Sorloth (5.0)

Thoughts?

Sorry forgot to include Morata in that. I don't think Chelsea will end up signing anyone else for the main striker role

Lucas Hood

Only read the keepers there but not sure how Fabanski is under the radar being the 2nd most owned keeper in the game.

I suppose just not one of the keepers for the top 6. I see your point though. I was going to have him as a backup keeper and have DDG as the main man

Far too many of them that have never played in the league before. Stick to the old reliables

David Luiz is beginning to tempt me at that price if they don't sell courtois and sign Kasper or Pickford

Its not to pick them all, but to have 1 or 2 of them in the team. Makes it a bit more interesting.

Is there anyone else you lads think are good punts?

Had been thinking David Luiz myself....he seems to be back in the new manager's plans. The question is how nailed on is he? Competing with Cahill, Rudiger, Christensen for 2 CB slots, assuming Azpi plays FB this year. Am I right?

For all his faults he is easily the best of those 4 and axpi apparently playing RB in a 4

I think the back four will be

Azpi - Luiz - Rudiger - Alonso

With the backups being Moses, Christensen and Emerson. I don't think Cahill will play much if at all this season

How dangerous would it be to leave Sala out?
The £13M allows far more flexibility elsewhere and concerned that after the long season he is coming off and second season syndrome, will he really reproduce that level of return?

I've been here
Just get him . Captain him first week.
Downgrade later if you aren't happy

He will be by miles and miles the most captained player gw1

razorblunt

Burnley only have two keepers available in the game, Pope is out and Heaton is at 75%.
What's the likelihood of both not playing GW1.

I was hoping to grab Heaton at 4.5 but his price is a bit silly given he missed pretty much all of last season.

What about Bernado Silva or David Silva to provide Man City cover?

If he does anything at all in the first few weeks you'll have to destroy your team to get him in. It's safer to just bite the bullet and go with Salah.

If he flops, you'll be in a good spot without. If he doesn't, you're screwed. Risk outweighs the reward.

David Silva is the most nailed on. Well, as nailed on as one could be in a Pep team.
