.... they said he was the 2nd most over-rated player ever (after Jack Wilshere) so I hope for your sake they were wrong.

18 years old and 16 goals and 9 assists in the championship, mostly from wing back, kid is an absolute baller

True mate 

It's probably a little harsh them calling him overrated at 18 years old and with his current record which is wild considering how he has started his career, very little players make that much impact at his age consistently 

reported Barca and united want him for 50+ mill

Yeah - some people go over the top with their assessments - especially with no expert knowledge. Can't wait for the season to start

Or to try keep his name out of the spotlight too much 

Same mate although after being promised a monster transfer kitty at start of summer, Rafa is now banding around the bargain basement for new additions which has soured my feelings some what!

On top of tha our start to the season is fucking horrible

Spuds (h)
Cardiff (a)
Chelsea (h)
Man City (a)
Arsenal (h)



only solace is I suppose you could argue get the tops sides out the way early before they get into their strides, Spuds supposedly resting a host of players as well after so many involved late into WC

That's a tough start

Really happy with how the draft went, Need Courtois and Willian to stay in the league, Wing back heavy hoping for assists with Otamendi and Mustahpi if he stays injury free will go massive. Sessegnon was the wild card who could go huge

Dayum that is a good front line! Need my mids to really step up for the Howick Gunners

Pickford, Maguire, Stones, Lukaku, Firmino might not play GW1 as they are joining the team late after WC. Son is off to Asian Games from GW2.

Luckily comp winner is not decided in week 1

edit: in case its not clear, this was the draft team I ended up with, so round 1 lineups weren't my prime consideration

Seeing as though were all posting our draft squads, here's my bunch of starch filled tuberosi


Lloris
Leno

Moses
Davinson Sanchez
David Luiz
Sokratis
Pereira

Sterling
Miki
Keita
Lingard
Yarmalenko

Kane
Lacazette
Gabriel Jesus


I think the defenders and midfielders are OK, but my forwards are a shower of shit. Should I trade Kane for a top quality striker like Andy Carroll?

Have joined the league on page one. Team name - Blanks United.

Me too, The Usual Suspects

Whats the go with posting teams up and chatting advice etc? All good or are we just trying to smash each other? I've done my team but really unsure about my bargain defence choices. Wouldn't mind some advice.... please

Put the team here and we can have a look

Thanks mate

Ederson / Fabianski
TAA / Coleman / Boly / Mee / Jagielka
Salah / Keita / Jota / Schurrle / Mkhitaryan
Kane / Arnautovic / Wilson

Also, would a good plan be to target a big score in round one then use an early wildcard, for a longer term team?

Looks most teams will have players joining in late after World Cup so Wildcard after fist few rounds will probably the way to go after team sheet settles down unless its Man-city.

few points regarding your team
TAA has got few other players vying for the same position and he played in the world cup. If you want Liverpool Robertson is a better value though $1M more expensive.
Coleman is a decent option but Luiz ( if he starts) gives you Chelsea cover at the same price.
Burney have signed Gibson, will effect Mee? Something to monitor
Keita is not expected to be fantasy relevant though he will improve the overall team performance ( someone like Kante I think)
Kane is expected to start GW1? He has never scored in August
If this was my team, I would Kane>Aguero, Jagielka>Wan Bissaka, then Keita>Mane

Good luck

Thanks! Will have more of a think
