Mighty Piglets 2021

[Rafa]

Hi, I made my first draft for this season:



I'd appreciate any comments!

Probably swap Ederson and White with Sanches and Dias, and if u got white because he going arsenal then just swap him out with coady

[Stena Bib]

It looks decent and pretty flexible

Thank you! My thinking was that Ederson should be pretty sure of playing (almost) every minute while anything can happen in the Man City defensive block. Also, I like my keepers to be "fixture-proof", one less position to worry about throughout the season.

Thank you! Yeah, that's the plan

While the team's structure probably won't change much, are there any individual bad picks in the squad? For example, would it be wise to sit and wait for Saka during the first couple of games? Can we expect him to be firing on all cylinders from the very first game? Also, is Mason Mount a viable option in the midfield or would Grealish or Havertz be a wiser choice?

TBH i would be very careful who i chose from the English team [ Euros] as most have had 3 weeks rest and will not quite be up to speed ??

There's talk of Shaw and Digne carrying injuries.
There's talk that Ederson may miss the 1st match
.
You may have to do some research to check.
Look at Ruths blog in the RMT section he's been doing a great job covering this stuff.

Mount, Grealish or Havertz is a toughie, i would take a gamble Havertz [easy to downgrade if not working out]

[Rafa]

Thanks so much, that is very helpful!

I guess I'll just wait and see. We'll know more soon.

[Rafa]

Now, that's the final draft I guess:



I feel I will need to get Lukaku soon, so this would mean swapping Harvetz and the front two for some other (cheaper) options in the next couple of weeks.

Does it make any sense?
