52 Points only Wilson(C) Haaland and James contributed really.

In past seasons perhaps - but can you say that when most of us will have 4 playing subs who are bargain based prices - you can have Ward, Williams/Patterison and Pereira/DaSilva, Greenwood etc who will should all be game time this season.

Also one thing that is often overlooked, when people talk about their BB points, would you really have xyz on bench if it wasn't a BB? some people for instance i've seen played Bailey but benched Zinchenko - would you do that if wasn't BB? if you had Haalnd, Martinelli and Darwin on bench and played it - could you say it's a successful BB?

Well the cheapest playing striker is 6m, so that's 1.5m gone already. I'd expect Leicester to sign a goalie, so you're up to 2m. Of course other players could emerge but I'm happy having it out of the way.

I'm someone who played Bailey over Zinchenko, thats exactly what i would have done if I wasn't on BB, otherwise you're just codding yourself

Kieffer Moore played 90minutes and scored in game week one and is only 5.5million if you want to save another .5mill. Not sure if he will keep his place in the team. Tried reading up on his history with Bournemouth and I think last season was disrupted for him by injury but his scoring rate was great for them. Tough fixtures in the next few but will be considering him myself if he looks to be holding his place.

Perhaps the cheapest starting forward is 5.5/6 but there are forwards at 4.5m who will see game time - I would hazard a guess that Sam Greenwood at Leeds will get minutes in every game and will start some as well - only for a great Sa save, he would have had an assist at the weekend.

Why did you spend 5m on Zinchenko if you see him as a bench player? With the amount of 4.5m playing defenders in the game it seems a waste of 0.5m in him, as with 5 subs this year unless a player is injured it's likely they will get game time.

Because I wasn't buying him for one game, likewise Trippier will most likely be on my bench for GW3. I thought Bailey would get more against Bournemouth
