Sounds like some people are on a crusade
The joys of being an atheist…. means I can snigger at all religious jokes.
God knows we need some cheering up at the minute.
No more religion puns @Moby 
Broja looks likely to go to West ‘am. Cheap option? Could turn a bad season into prophet.

For all the sinners actually.
Broja will be backup to Antonio, no?
They would make an impressive front 2, Jesus and Mohammed.

Absolutely but if £30m price rumoured is accurate, would expect him to be more than a bit part player.
Probably not one for me, just sharing for info.
Arsenal agree fee with City for Zinchenko lads…

Be interesting to see where Zinchenko plays for Arsenal.
Zinchenko is an excellent player. I would expect Arteta to play him in midfield primarily, especially as they have Tierney at LB.
He could be a great pick I think, but maybe not good enough in attack anyway.
He needs to be nailed though for us to buy him.
Tierney is injured half the time.
So my first draft is ready:
Meslier (Gazzaniga)
TAA-Cancelo-(Neco/Reguilon/Kongolo)
Salah-Diaz-Bernardo-Martinelli (Cafu)
Haaland-Jesus-Mitrovic
I think I am happy with the front 3. Haaland and Jesus will prove good - Mitrovic can be replaced 0 Any other budget forward better than Mitrovic??
In the midfield - Bernardo & Martinelli can be improved upon. Not sure if Bernardo is a definite starter - same for Martinelli. Any suggestion here for 6-8m midfielders?
3rd defender is still an issue. Is Reguilon expected to start? Any other/better 4.5 defenders? I guess there will be a lot of options with a 5m budget.

There's not a lot of midfielders I like to start the season in that 5.5-7.5m price range. Ramsey, Gordon, Martinelli, Neto, ASM, Bruno G. That's about it
Easy, just replace Mitrovic with a 4.5 and bring in someone like James in defence. Reguilon looks like he's on the way out & they've just brought Perisic in.
Bruno G is a must for me, can see him being a bit of a standout for them this season, plus Forest at home first game should give a decent return. I did also look at Conor Gallagher but need to see how he gets on in pre-season
I have downgraded that spot to Bailey for now. All of them have uncertainty for returns so might as well go with the cheaper option.
Beautiful.
First stab. Took 5 minutes.

I’ve gone Mendy in goal, but not many here seem to be. Thought he’d be a good option.
Any better for £5m?

I like this team, hmm now you got me thinking..
You can't have Jesus without having a Pope.
My current team after the latest round of tinkering
Sanchez
TAA Robertson Cancelo Cash Trippier
Salah Mahrez Mount Martinelli

I have this thing where I dont use Utd players in my team, it’s really tempting though
Martial tempting me here, but I likely just go with Dalot from us.
We have 3 very good defensive fixtures in the first 4 and for 4.5 Dalot is quite good I think.

I tend to stay away from them also, but I have taken a punt on Sancho in my first draft. Might switch to Martial. Might wise up and go zero United
I really want to go Dalot but N. Williams, Tomiyasu (nice fixtures), Cancelo, James, TAA is pretty hard to beat.
The only question is if it's worth going Dalot over Tomiyasu and so far I think the answer is no.

I think this might be the season for United players. Sancho, Rashford, Martial all priced as if they're budget options.
N Williams play for Forest. Not sure I trust them and they have bad fixtures.
If he does well it is an easy downgrade once the fixtures improve.
Dalot I would play every game apart from Liverpool before wildcard.

GK: Meslier

Yup but a 4.0 starter, you can't not pick that. Him and Pereira are perfect enablers for four premiums.
what do you count as premium? Premium is normally 9 million or more in my opinion.
Sorry yes - threemium rather than fourmium. Son, Salah and Haaland in the same side but it could be KdB for Haaland and Kane for Son.
I think I go with 2 premiums, but we will see. I really like attacking fullbacks and think defenders are 0.5 too cheap in general for most picks.
Triple United is starting to tempt.
