The year everyone wants Son and they price him at 12. Love it 
Had him in my team for the last 4 years. Might sit this one out.

Kane or Haaland?
Nobody grabbing Darwin?

I always take one punt so might as well be Haaland.
Kane was very frustrating last year.
Darwin... Nah. Too many unknowns.
Sanchez/Mendy
Chilwell, Taa, Perisic, Dias, 4,5 Arsenal
Salah
Haaland.
Ok. I have 9.

I think I will start without Son again, but if he is fantastic and Salah is not playing well I will not stop myself to make the logical move.
We know though Salah always haul when you want it the least (well against us) and miss a pen the gameweek you want him to score the most (vs Leicester last year) when his EO is lowest and most people did not have him.
I will try to follow the odds, reason and logic and hope that work rather than play safe or stupid due to what others are doing. EO does effect me though and that is probably my biggest weakness the last few years and possibly why last season was my worst. If there are players I rate as top players I struggle to not get them if most others have them, but if others do not have them I can resist much easier. For example I really wanted Robertson last year, but everyone had Salah, TAA and Jota so I went with those 3. Had Robertson been more popular I would have had him.
At the end of last year I went with my gut and risk though cause I had a shit season. Bruno in failed over Salah. KDB cap worked well over getting Salah back and I knew if I was in a better position I likely gone Salah due to EO even with KDBs better fixtures and lower cost.

So app will be up tomorrow? Right?
I reckon so yeah.
Son £12m?
If you look at Son + cheap MFer versus using that amount for say… Saka/Mahrez, can’t see Son being the option.

Yeah it all depends on what your doing.
If you're high up and want to protect rank, covering EO is essential.
If you want to chase a higher score, go against the grain.
It's simple and obvious but we all fall pray to overthinking in this game.
I'm not gonna go without Salah from the off but I might be tempted by Kane over Haaland...even if it's just for that juicy gw1 fixture.
Bias is a problem and I got it, but I know my picks aren't the optimal to win FPL.
I usually play far too strategic and safe for that. Having those low owned players that smash it is key if you want to win it and also saves budget for more premiums. Although premium defs are so consistent and safe I think.

Maybe i am too patriotic but Perisic is a must have. Winger in Spurs defence for 5.5 mil.
Do you think he’ll be a starter? I like perisic he seems like an efficient player. Maybe he would be a good bench option.
I doubt that Conte signed him on huge contract to be a backup. And that Perisic left Inter where he was first 11 player to become sub in Spurs
Son had to be 12, wouldn't have made sense if he was cheaper than KDB.
Salah, Haaland, TAA, Diaz, Cancelo and most likely Saka are nailed in my week 1 team.
Hello Pep.
I was so set on Son over Salah but now I'm not so sureDefinitely need a Spurs attacker I feel. Kulu and Richarlison will fight for minutes I think, so probably has to be Kane or Son.
Kane instead of Haaland could be the way to go...
It would have made sense for him to be £11m he doesn’t even take set pieces, the fantasy team are trying to pull a fast one.
Imagine what damage he could do if he took pens...
Assumed the game would be ready by now but when I login still showing last seasons points
think it's live tomorrow mate
He takes free kicks and corner kicks which is an advantage he has over the likes of Salah and Kane, boosting his assists and bonus points potential.
Just look at his FPL record since he came to the Premier League, he is definitely a 12.0m performer. He has just been going under the radar because he doesn't play enough minutes, and the last two seasons where he's played more, he has hit 200+. I likely won't be starting with him by the way.
Kane & Haaland as your 2 premiums anyone?
Why are people on twitter and fb demanding more money? Isn't 100 mil budget fixed for ages?
This is not fifa ffs

DCL £8m?!?
English tax is realDCL £8m?!?
DCL £8m?!?
Without Richarlison everything will go through him including pens. Something like Pukki had last year. He will hit decent numbers.
Will he outscore every defender in the game?
Well.....no
My least favourite regular Utd starter but yes that could be a play. I’d like to see what kind of effort he makes in the first few games. He’s going to be affordable all season really at that price.
DCL £8m?!?
If he scores a goal in first game, he is going up first week
That’s a risk I’m willing to take for .1 considering he was so terrible last season
An interesting read. Nothing necessarily ground breaking but useful points in one thread (especially if not played FF too much).
My lawyers have advised me to plead the fifth to avoid @Moby online shaming me again
