Just joined a private league and I've never played the Telegraph game before. With all those transfers available I'll be like a kid in a sweet shop.
What does my first effort look like please?
Allison 3.7
Evans 2.9
Robertson 3.8
Was-Bissanka2.5
Sane 4.9
Salah 6
Richardson 3.8
Schurrle 3.4
Aguero 6.8
Kane 7
Arnautovic 5.2
Cheers!
My First Ever Go. R.M.T. please.

Re: My First Ever Go. R.M.T. please.
Allison 3.7
Evans 2.9 - Is he injured? WBA not been as tight as they used to be in recent seasons.
Robertson 3.8
Was-Bissanka 2.5 - Are you sure he will start? Seems very risky to me. Coady at Wolves seems nailed on and 0.1m cheaper.
Sane 4.9
Salah 6
Richardson 3.8
Schurrle 3.4
Aguero 6.8
Kane 7 - Not starting the season, so a lot of money wasted
Arnautovic 5.2
Instead of starting with Kane, have a think about adding a premium priced defender (Mendy/Davies/VVD/Otamendi?) and upgrading Evans as the defence currently looks very light. You can easily pick two better defenders and still have the cash to upgrade Arnautovic to Kane after a few weeks if that's an appealing idea. Or you could do the above and start with someone like Firmino/Aubameyang instead of Arnautovic...
The rest all looks okay, elsewhere all fine picks just personal preferences (not a fan of Richarlison at 3.8m, or Schurrle at 3.4m). The main thing is you want the players in your starting line-up to play...

Allison 3.7
Evans 2.9 Think he might be injured. Don't fancy wba this season.
Robertson 3.8
Was-Bissanka2.5 The en vogue enabler on some other fantasy sites, but in a game with no subs think he is a bit of a risk.
Sane 4.9 Rotation risk, but probably will play at least for the first few weeks.
Salah 6
Richardson 3.8
Schurrle 3.4 Don't fancy him, think will be very average. Would prefer Jota.
Aguero 6.8
Kane 7 Probably will become essential, but notoriously for not scoring goals in August, probably will miss at least first game, and tired coming back from WC. leaving out for the moment.
Arnautovic 5.2
Reasonably solid, 8/10.

Re: My First Ever Go. R.M.T. please.
Pretty much what Tom said.
Haven't worked my team out yet but I'm looking at doing 2 non-Harry forwards with enough cash left over to convert either to Kane. Not sure on 433 but Arnautovic is the way to do that (as midfielder priced for when/if he flops)

Thanks for the input folks. I'll take it all on board. The Jota alternative is one I was looking at.
Cheers!

And WBA not even in the Prem.
Not been paying attention enough. I'd still ditch him though on balance. Leicester have just signed another CB option so could be some rotation at some point. Also think there are better options for slightly more who will score attacking points as well as playing every week.

Who have just bought an expensive CB without selling Maguire (he says without updating any transfer sites!)Midlander wrote:Evans plays for Leicester.

I blame you for tricking me into thinking Evans still played for WBA, and WBA were still in the Prem ...Tom QC wrote: ↑09 Aug 2018, 15:48And WBA not even in the Prem.
