Rate my team 22/23

Think I’m happy with this. Bench is useless.

Mendy (Ward)

TAA James Walker Perisic (Neco)

Salah Kulu Diaz Neto (Colback)

Haaland Jesus (Greenwood)

Thoughts?

Ward Raya

Trent zinchenko digne dalot Patterson

Salah rashford bailey Gordon Pereira

Haaland Kane Jesus

I'm pretty happy with that. Opinions welcome?

Ward / Iversen

All aboard the Leicester 8m train.

TAA, Cancelo, Robertson, Zinchenko, Williams

Upgraded James to Robertson. Chelsea haven't been very settled at the back in pre-season, it's an easy downgrade if needed as Chelsea have favourable fixtures after the Spurs game in week 2.

Mount, Salah, Bernardo Silva, Kulusevski, Pereira

Bottled it and brought in Salah, was tempted with Son but think the Salah / Kulu pairing is better than Son / Diaz +1m. Bernardo can be upgraded to Foden or Mahrez if the Robertson to James downgrade goes through after week 2 as well. Surprised Mount's ownership is still so low.

Jesus, Martial, Mbuemo

Big downgrades here with Haaland and Kane gone, slightly offset by Salah in midfield and still have Spurs cover with Kulu. Jesus is an obvious choice at this stage it seems, Martial has had a good pre-season run so hopefully he keeps starting ahead of Ronaldo. Mbuemo I think is underrated compared to Toney, 1m cheaper and only 20 points less last season, has scored 3 times in 6 pre-season games including a penalty in contrast to 1 goal by Toney.

I'm sure I'll probably find a way to justify taking Salah out between now and Friday evening but I think I'm happy enough with it as it stands. Potentially 3 200 pointers in TAA, Cancelo and Salah with Robertson, Mount, Bernardo, Jesus and Kulu in the 150-200 mid range bracket all going well.

I think Richarlison is suspended for the first two PL games

Was Martinelli excellent in preseason games or something?......see him in a lot of teams and last Season he was very streaky whenever he got minutes.

On my 20th variation by now!

Any opinions on this selection?

Thanks

What do ye do if Leicester sign say Dubravka after this weekend?

Still tinkering. I want Kane and Haaland, but don’t want both and don’t want to ‘book’ a GW2 transfer. Had a look at getting Son in along with Haaland and came up with this:

Sanchez, Ward

TAA, Perisic, Walker, Cash (Neco)

Salah, Son, Martinelli, Bailey (Andreas)

Haaland, Jesus (Archer)

Basically, I’d get Son, Walker, Haaland and Bailey in, with Dias, Luis Diaz, Kane and Mount out. Not sure it’s worth it but interested in opinions.

Yeah the idea of booking a transfer so early is what is swaying me too. I much prefer to bank in GW2 and have the option of doing 2 FT transfer in GW3 or even roll the transfer into a mini WC for a -4 after things have started to settle down a bit.

Because they want to balance with expensive defenders and other premiums and feel that Kane is a better option as Spurs cover

Instead, Rodgers appears content to stick with the options already at the club and has given his backing to Schmeichel’s No.2 Danny Ward to step up.

‘Danny Ward is an exceptional keeper,’ said Rodgers. ‘I’ve always said we’ve got a number one keeper there.

‘He’s had some issues around his knee but that looks to be behind him now, he’s been training well. He’s looked good. If Kasper is to go, he’s a big possibility for us.’

He continued: ‘Daniel Iversen has been out on loan and shown he’s a very competent goalkeeper. At 25 years of age, he’s got experience, so he’s here. I think we would still need to bring in another one as a back-up. I’d be happy with that.

‘I worked with Danny and I knew his talent from Liverpool. He’s been really unfortunate here in that Kasper has never been injured. He’s been a really loyal and supportive number two.

‘It’s a what-if scenario so if Kasper was to move on, we saw him [Ward] against Watford, how he comes for crosses, how he takes the ball. He can deal with the ball at his feet.

Why would you be looking at a transfer in gw2? I'd love to have Salah, Kane and Haaland together but I think Salah could struggle this year without Mane in the team. I think Kane and Haaland are guaranteed goals though.

Because most of us will be going with Salah. There is 0% chance I start without him, so that leaves a straight choice between Kane and Haaland.
