Fair points. Especially good point about the £6.5m slot although on the flip side I have nowhere to go with my 3rd forward who's Pedro at £5.5m. Maybe Morris after gw3?
That’s the one thing that has stopped me from going the same way. My current draft with a nice 4,5 and Pedro as a third striker that I can bench is much more sensible.
It's the Kane draft, which looks fine but not great for flexibility in midfield, which you might want later on.
Kane draft?
Currently thinking of Chilwell and Pedro on bench along with the 2 you mentioned. Can upgrade one of Mitoma or Eze to a 7.5m midfielder but I don't like any of the availbale options in Maddison or Foden(minutes risk). Similar with Martinelli or any of the Liverpool mids, none of them are guaranteed starters. Had Watkins previously but his fixtures are not kind early on.
As in most drafts with Kane in them look similar to yours.
What about Maatsen? He started well in pre-season.
No Arsenal coverage at all will hurt you.
I cannot bring myself to do it, my gonads are just not big enough.
You think Maddison is good to start the season with? How did he do pre-season?
Mitoma has the best fixtures. Followed by Diaby. Followed by Eze. I wouldn’t pick Bernardo.
Use thread marks for the league code.
feck it. I'm going triple Brighton hoping to come out flying. Luton and Wolves first 2 doesn't get much better.
Tripling up on Brighton seems extreme, Diaby or Eze for me.
Maddison was very advanced, involved with all the attacks, even running ahead of Kane at times plus took a bunch of set plays if I remember correct. Everything seemed to go through him. I had Son in every draft before but he seems to be playing as a traditional winger, limiting his goal threat. Rather take the punt on Maddison now and save the £1.5m. They have one friendly left so let's see how that goes...
If Kane leaves this week would you pick Richarlison over Maddison or just ignore Spurs’ assets?Maddison was very advanced, involved with all the attacks, even running ahead of Kane at times plus took a bunch of set plays if I remember correct.

In another note... Can't wait until Luton beat Brighton 1-0... Gonna laugh at all the Brighton double and triple ups. Including at myself
I would probably get Eze and see how Spurs do. The mental damage Kane leaving can do cannot be underrated.
I think I read a quote from Ferguson where he said he expects the strikers to rotate a lot this season, Welbeck seems to be ahead of him for starts judging by preseason.
They have options up front and he's still young, so his minutes will continue to be managed. He's said himself that he expects that striker spot to be rotated a lot this season.
Cheers I've juggled it around to get him out and Watkins in, seems like the safer bet.
Thanks. Are you also confident Joao Pedro starts the first 3 games?
He's my 4.5 mid. He looked really lively from the pre-season highlights.
Brighton are like a mini City with loads of potential rotation. Mitoma is probably the safest but it's tough to say about Pedro. He's been good in pre-season and takes pens. The good thing about him is he can play many positions so will definitely get minutes.
Kane draft only makes sense to me if you plan on captaining him, which I don't think most will ahead of Halland. I feel like Bruno, Martinelli, Pedro (Jackson) and Maddison sounds more solid and reliable compared to Kane, Eze, Mitoma and Stones.
Main draft looks good. Just not liking Pedro. Out of position the wrong way round? But done to get Maddison in?
