Cheers for the heads up mate! Can they close this window already?

cheers

are there any other 4.5 mids that are nailed ?

Cheers. Do we know if Hayden is nailed?

Thank goodness I just decided to ditch him. Thanks for the heads up.

Both are wait and see for me

Finding it quite difficult to decide which 5.5-6.5 mid to go for apart from Perez (even him im not sure about now)

If u must pick one of these right now id go for Lanzini great fixtures after City

Lanzini seems to be on fire.

Lanzini

I’m going with Barkley. I like what I’ve seen from him in pre season. I believe he’s on pens. Definitely higher risk/reward but I’m willing to take the gamble.

I think he'll start. Began training as you said.

Ederson for 0.5 less surely makes sense?

Targett/Guilbert/Cathcart imo.

Looking at Frederic’s WHM.

isnt he injured ?

Not the best fixtures to begin with but someone I'll monitor for sure

V.Good Idea bu is he injured ?

maybe later in the season but i dont think his fixtures are good enough right now.

As soon as he returns he's in my team. Don't let naysayers drag you the wrong way.

The only worrying part is whenever premium forwards start to fire.
In order to get one of them in you would have to lose KDB and play with a 5.0 mid.
Otherwise, the team looks great,

9.5

Just that our defense is looking a bit suspect at the moment.

RB that can play LB. People here seem to think he's a threat to Zinchenko more than Walker as the former isn't a specialist.

If he wasn’t flagged he would be first on my team sheet at £7.5m.

I was thinking the same.

Consensus here appears to be Taylor.

Lowton is RB and best option. Taylor is LB

Lowton is first choice RB with Bardsley as 2nd choice.
Pre-season suggests Pieters might get nod ahead of Taylor at LB.

Yes

I don't think I would help. I like digne better but I prefer 343 formation though

Not sure why you think he trolled you. scored 5 goals last season for a poor team

Goals are defo a good sign. Just don't expect too much. It's a BHA defender, not a Salah.

So frustrating to own. Should be nailed but never is unfortunately

Doubt he’ll start once Pepe settles in.

Emery the tinkerer says hi. And this season he's got born-again Ozil, Ceballos and Pepe in the mix. I'd say Mkhi will be getting trash time.

Don't think he will be any good

I think I'm edging towards C

B

If Luiz leaves tomorrow then Zouma becomes a great 3rd/4th defender option

A

Not worth the transfer required to ship him once Mané returns (if Mané doesn't start in GW1, which he could do).

Certainly possible he’ll grab goals at home to Norwich

Had him in my team for 2 days but then decided it's not worth the inevitable transfer out. Also he seems to be totally unpredictable, and the lad didn't yet learn how to play from the start. All of his best football happened when he was subbed on.

B just and if a good 4.5 def then can start with a 442 as Mcginn has spurs away

3-5-2 with McGinn looks good

Trying to decide this now myself

B

Both threats to their fullbacks. Cancelo can play rw, rb, lb

Yes on zinc though probably not right away. Probably the same at Everton

From what I’ve read Cancelo is primarily RB, but could also feature as LB. If Zinchenko plays as poorly vs WHU as in CS, Pep may try Cancelo on the left imo.
Sidibe is defo a threat. Coleman should be alright for at least a GW or two though.

B from GW4 or GW5

Think it will eventually - but Coleman probably safe for awhile
