    True but normally Hazard and Costa and the back line will play both in seasons past anyway..
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    And for now, no Hazard or Costa...
  • VorselaarhammerVorselaarhammer
    Indeed hence my past tense...

    it's tricky because Motta is apparently not pulling up trees so they may go with Bats...

    Kane and Lukaku are overpriced..

    I like Rooney at 7.5 but their first 5/6 games are stinkers...

    I think MF is where to put the money this time at least for the start..
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    ;ok

    Lukaku IS overpriced, but Man U have a reasonable start. There's also the issue that if 50% of managers have him, and you don't, you risk getting left behind. And if he has a good start to the season his price will go up even higher.

    I've got Rooney on my watchlist but tbh, by the time Everton have a good run of games I expect there are other budget strikers who may be challenging him for value.

    I had Kane but then dropped him. I have a ;hmm about Wembley.

    Wait a minute... 13 comments on the fantasy thread since my last one ;hmm That can't be right ;puzzled

    Just checked and we now have 8 in the budget league ;wahoo Hoping for 2 more entries to get it to 10
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    Trippier injured ;doh My no1 defender. I'm doomed I tell ye!
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    I have him too but I'm holding on until the last minute to decide if I'm keeping him or not.

    Have tinkered with midfield and the strikers though.

    I debated holding on but after reading he left the stadium on crutches I decided to transfer him out today. The problem is with the budget trying to find a player for the same or close money thats as good as him. I've weakened my GKs because of it but I guess I can TF him back in if anything changes or wait until he returns from injury ;hmm

    I was hoping for some clues from the game yesterday but didn't take much out of it..

    See how Man Utd line up tomorrow...

    I've read Tripper will certainly miss the first game and that Spurs are now trying to buy a RB.

    Had to remove Lallana after being ruled out for 3 months and brought in Fabregas.

    Slightly risky, in the sense he may not play every week, but for £7m and when you consider the assists he racks up (takes all set-plays and penalties too), as well as the odd goal, I think that price is too good to turn down.

    Been tinkering with my Cheap Team. It's looking so good, I may play my bench boost in Week 1. ;wahoo

    I've got Willian at the mo, but am thinking of swapping him for Pedro....

    I'm wondering where Chelsea's goals are going to come from.

    Yeah got Willian, Fabregas and Cahill, but feel Chelsea will struggle this season. So may have to tweak it. Can't see Morata getting enough goals.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    They've only got a senior squad of 21 (20 if you discount Costa), which won't be enough, imo.

    I've swapped him out for Kolasinac.

    Anybody else interested?

    So far, it's just me and Munich ;tumbleweed

    What is it ?
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    It's a parallel FF game, expat. You have a squad of players + they score points for your team in the usual way.

    The difference is in how you build your squad and make transfers. You play in a league, and each manager takes it in turns to sign a one player at a time. There is no budgetary limit, but once a player has been 'drafted' into a team, they are unavailable to the other managers.

    My son would like to know if he can join the league, I'm sure I read something about relatives taking part but not sure where. Can anyone help as to whether this is permitted ? Thank you.

    He's allowed unless he's top at Xmas.

    Then he will be expelled.

    ;wink
