There is no spoon.
Don't Liverpool have a much easier set of fixtures than City for the opening parts of the season? Salah > Sterling?
Good shout but id have to downgrade someone to afford Salah now, not sure i really want to change anyone else. I'll see if it can work.

You're spending 10m on Pickford and Heaton. You could have Ederson and a 4m keeper instead for example to get City clean sheets.

Either Stones or Zinchenko instead of AWB.

B Silva instead of Sigurdsson.

I can kind of see your logic player by player (which is why I should have posted it this way in the first place) but I think some sacrifices have to be made somewhere as opposed to not having any City players in.
Is Bernardo really a better choice than Sigurdsson? Last year Sigurdsson outscored him quite substantially.

What kind of a player is Ceballos? Will we see him going foward and scoring or assisting?

I like that setup. Could shift to Aguero for free within 2 moves, switch to Kane within 1. Making me doubt my double Liverpool defence. Food for thought there.

Nope. You've swapped an fpl star in Gylfi out for a complete gamble in Haller. He could tear it up, but you have to admit it's less likely.

And I genuinely think all teams will have greenwood in by end of season. He could stake a claim for a first team spot, and for a team like united, at that price, it's a no brainer.

I went all of last season without Salah and only had Sterling for the final 10-12 games, and I won my league comfortably. Besides they are just boring.

Thing is, even if I released some funds, I wouldn't feel confident investing them in someone else. I could downgrade King by £0.5m, possibly one of Ake/Walker-Peters to a £4.5m defender and perhaps in midfield I could swap Barkley for a £5.0m player and that would give me £2.0m to invest in an upgrade. But I wouldn't even know who to upgrade - I don't see a point upgrading Firmino, it's not enough to upgrade any of my defenders or midfielders to someone materially better.

I was dithering between B. Silva and Sigurdsson but Sigurdsson will play every game and take set pieces. That is better value.

Martial and Rashford are cheap and play for a top 8 team that barely has any pieces to rotate them with. They will be relied on to score goals for United with only Pogba being able to contribute significantly of all other players. I think they are way undervalued. Likewise Barkley - possible penalty taker and a starter for a top 6 team.
Salah or Sterling? Or Auba ?

Sterling imo. I toyed with going with de Bruyne but Sterling will end up getting the higher points total. He and Salah will be in my team all season.
Yeah it's a tough one. De Bruyne is quite a bit cheaper so i can fit others in then, but i agree i think Sterling will get more points. Decisions, decisions.

Could someone PM me the code for the Redcafe league.

Apologies if it's already in the thread but I can't find it.

I reckon Haller is going to be mint.

When we were linked with him I, probably like the rest of us, looked up videos, his stats and most importantly the opinions of Eintracht Frankfurt fans, many of whom reckon he was better than Jovic for them last season.

Really good value in this imo. Him and McGinn.

Really like the look of your line up. Can you publish the final line up of yours ?
Alisson
Robertson / Walker-Peters / Aké
De Bruyne / Sigurdsson / Perez / Martial
Rashford / King / Firmino

Bench: Button / Wan-Bissaka / Zinchenko / Barkley

For week 1.

I've reverted back. But Now I've gone with the old team and have upgraded Lloris to Ederson by downgrading Aarons to Kelly. Read in CP Reddit that Kelly will play whilst Tomkins is out. Thanks for thes response!

Thinking of changing to

Confused. I think Barkley takes penalties?

They've just brought in Cahill so if they have any sense Cahill is at CB instead of Tomkins, not Kelly.

That could be the worst team I've ever seen
Based on?

In order to fit in some good players, I have also had to put some fillers in.

Drinkwater was a decent player before Chelsea brought him and refused to play him. The rest at 4.5M were just the cheapest I could find after putting Sterling & Mane in. The forwards have scored loads of goals and I have 2 of the highest scoring defenders in the league.

Good team , Neves and doucoure could need swapping but who knows. Not the worse choices.

Get rid of Guendouzi. M.Kean is a good gamble .

Formation changes when you pick your team. You can sub a midfielder for a defender and it will become a 5 3-2
