How in God's name does Nathan Aké have 19% ownership

He got 120 points last year , same as Wan Bissaka who has 36% percent ownership

Wan Bissaka started at 4m last year, playing for a much poorer team than who he now plays for. Also, he gets some extra % ownership because he's Man U now. Not the best comparison.

I would have thought so, yes.

Next best 4m defender is probably Johnson for West Ham, but he's not exactly nailed either.

I presume they'll just be sitting on your bench anyway though?

Will be on bench but Kelly or Lundstram might have to come in an odd time so would like to start the season with 15 pretty nailed on lads in squad.

Can't remember how much ake was last year . 4.5 maybe ? Bournemouth home to Sheffield United this week. Maybe people banking on a clean sheet for first week

Yeah i dunno. Maybe it's coz the options at 5m aren't brilliant, though i'd be looking at 4.5m options or even the likes of Zouma, KWP, or our very own Enda Stevens, ahead of Aké. Watch Aké go and score a goal and clean sheet gw1 now lol

He was more. Probably the same as this year. There will be a tonne of players who can't see beyond the first week of games.

Cantona's Collars

Drinkwater could be going to Burnley on loan, might be a good cheap option if that deal goes through.

Cue last minute thoughts, is anyone going with Felipe Anderson?

Good season last year at a decent price this year.

11th best midfielder, 7.0.

Bar City in GW1 (who a lot are deciding against going defensively for other reasons), they've a niceish 11 game run. (MCI, bri, wol, NOR, vil, MUN, bou, CRY, eve, SHU, NEW)

Originally had King and Kane up front, now gone Kane alone with 5 in midfield

Case for Felipe?

The fixtures are good I've tried to think of who to get in but Its kind of a bust for me. Anderson is similar to Zaha without all the penalty wins, great at progressing the ball up the pitch but his shooting or shot selection isn't great.

I'm taking a wait an see approach with the team, will be opposing their defence had the 6th most highest expected goals against last season only Fabiski performed heroics, a level of performance he most likely won't keep up again this season

David Luiz on his way to Arsenal.

Doesn't make Arsenal defence relevant obviously, but Zouma and Christensen will most likely start the season now at 5m each.

Of those two Zouma is the pick. Not because he is better, or has more attacking threat. He just won’t break every time he plays 55 minutes unlike the other bloke!

Could strengthen them at that back and make a case for Leno at 5m. I'd still personally rather put faith in a 4.5m keeper.

Window closes at 5 today yeah, very tight

Shedite27

Zouma at 5m is attractive.

Currently have Digne/Dunk alongside my Liverpool duo.

Zouma + a 5.5 option better? Zinch/Stones/Vertongen/Maguire?

Shedite27

Looking at possible deadline day moves that could impact the big FPL players:
- Leicester closing a €20m deal for a AM from Sampdoria (Dennis Praet) - competition for Perez, Tielemans, Maddison.
- Brighton looking to get Mooy - probably plays deeper than the popular picks here (Tossard, Murray, Maupay), more creativity for Brighton?
- Nekitah, Wickham looking at loans to Championship. We're running out of 4.5m striker fodder

Lukaku is gone and unlikely to be replaced. Greenwood is one injury away from starting now

Makes me very very tempted by Martial

In the Draft game, I was 8th pick out of 8th.

What happens with new transfers into the game - Do I get first choice or something?

Yes.

I wouldn’t be mad into having a Chelsea defender but if Luiz leaving means Dave goes central it could give a 4.5m option in Zappacosta.

Are people forgetting Rudiger? It's possible he'll start no?

Yeah but AWB didn't have as much competition for bps at Crystal Palace. He'll find it a lot harder to get them at United.

Reece James is highly rated
He is 5ml in the game though

Had surgery in April or May and had rehab over the summer. He’s dues back second week of September according to premier injuries.

So 2 of Christensen, Zouma or Dave will start.

Every chance Dave starts at CB and Reece James gets the start at right back.

I wasn't arguing for Wan Bissaka I was arguing against Aké

As would I
5ml for a Bournemouth def
No thanks
I’m not even considering Rico and he is only 4!

Thanks

From the below - I can't tell if I can pick any player before the deadline tomorrow or else before the GW 2 deadline

Any idea?

The lowest ranked team will get first waiver choice. Before the season starts the waiver order will be the reverse of the draft order. Once a waiver request is successful, the team in question will move to the end of the waiver queue for that gameweek.

If more than one team are tied on points, their position in the league table will be determined randomly. As a result, the lowest positioned team will get the higher waiver order.

Shedite27

Sheffield United manager just said this. Could be trouble for Lundstram

We are trying to add a central midfield player to the group and if we do I’ll be delighted with what we’ve done so far, in terms of what I was given at the back end of last season and how we have gone about it in structure, the age and the ambition and desire of the players we have brought in
