No, nothing like that.
In theory it could occasionally be an advantage. But in reality, you'd very rarely want 4 of one team, and even if it was say City, chances are the values would lopside your team.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

If Doherty moves to Spurs, a) Will he start generally?, b) Will he start the first game?

He will definitely start for them and most likely he'll start their first game. Aurier is likely to be sold.
Maitland Niles will be a main player for wolves if they get him. 5 million for a starter in a good attacking team if he stays fit.
Sounds like Brewster is going out on loan to Sheffield Utd currently 4.5 could prove to be the best cheap striker in the game

feck, Greenwood's a midfielder!
both. Catch is he played more advanced with freedom in Wolves' 3-5-2. albeit Mourinho's said that he wants attacking wingers
Do people think Greenwood alone is enough Man Utd cover. With Auba, Salah and KDB its tough to fit Bruno in too.
The weird thing about the very best players is that they always seem to have 3,4 or even 5 players in their squads most of us wouldn't pick even if somebody was pointing a gun at our heads, but they just seem to choose the right Captain every week and they've obviously mastered when to sell and buy to get the best value to increase their money in the bank.
I only have Kane and that too for just GW1 or at the most GW2. Was just trying to understand how it works. I do have Doherty so now that he has moved to Spurs, I just might have to drop him
Thanks mate..
Rather Fernandes than KDB honestly.
Quite liking this for a gw1 team
McCarthy
Robertson Doherty Justin (Vinagre) (Mitchell)
Alli Son Auba Armstrong Barnes
Werner Ings (Brewster)
£1.5m in the bank to turn either Alli or Son into Rashford or Bruno for gw2
Probably bring in a City mid for Auba gw3

Never understood the love for De Bruyne. He is good, but he gets most of his points through assists. Assists aren't worth as much as goals, and I doubt he'd be getting as many this season. Aguero will most likely be back on penalties too unless I've missed something.
I'd rather find 0.5m and go for Salah's goals or even Aubameyang if not for the fixtures.
Interesting.
My team at the moment for GW1 is as follows
Martinez
TAA Justin Vinagre Tierney
Soucek Auba Salah Armstrong Son
Ings
4.5m in the bank. I can do Son to KDB and then Ings to Martial...
Leaves me with 1.5m in the bank. Decent ?

I am thinking about going without Pool defenders to start with. They are just so expensive with tricky fixtures too.
TAA might not even play the first game.
TAA might not even play the first game.
The upside is just too good with them and everyone will have at least one. You won't find a mid or striker that can match their points for the same price.
Over time I want TAA, but not sure he will start that well.
I think Leeds might score against them and after that they got Chelsea and Arsenal.
Lads, Its Trent.
But going cheap defence with 4.5's looks fun!
Looking at it. Salah might be my sacrifice. For Bruno.

Yeah TAA is so bloody good in attack, but also so bloody expensive. Last season he was a giant in the big games too.
No other defender offer what he does.
Salah might not be worth it, but I am not sure we will have a great start with almost no pre season.
Vardy or Kane might be better than Salah though.
I'm thinking Aubameyang instead of Salah.
Got both to start with I think.
Me too but thinking of getting Kane which means no Mo.
Ahhhh decisions decisions. Obviously for GW1 Auba and Salah. But looking at points per game last season... Salah is ahead. But Auba is Arsenals main scoring threat so more likely to get bonus pts. Dropping Salah I feel more confident in Liverpools goals being spread out the team, and with Trent he's a good insurance policy for assists.
I have Son and Werner. Wonder if Ziyech and Kane are better.
Son and Werner for now.
I think Ziyech is going to do really well but I took him out for Armstrong in order to set up funds for GW2. Lets see how Spurs are set-up. If continue from last season looking toothless then dropping Son to Ziyech or Pulisic is on the cards.

I'm opting for the latter i think Ziyech will get loads of assists and be on set pieces.
Yeah it is a hard call. I just fancy Werner to start faster than him. Although if Ziyech takes the pens that would make things easier.
Could just go full Chelsea if they get going since they look to be great value.
Pulisic will be Chelsea’s main man.
Finding it impossible to get a good team this year. Feels as if everyone is more expensive and they’ve done the bizzare position changes - like Auba to midfield for example.
I’ve got a draft team which is horrid so I’ll wait till a few days before kick off to get a team. Hoping for a few more transfers to come in for the Premier League teams.
Very keen on a particular defender who appears to be great value.

Well, don't keep it a secret boss.
Someone outside of the Wolves guys?
So, I've recently come up with this:
Ryan, Nyland
Vinagre, Robbo, TAA, KWP, Ferguson
Ward-Prowse, Salah, Auba, Pulisic, Anguissa
Mitrovic, Werner, Wickham
GK: I didn't go with McCarthy because I think Soton could be a differential, and I can still swap Mitro for Che Adams if Adams looks like he's going to get minutes and returns like after the lockdown, or go for Ings. Nyland will almost certainly be changed for Button if/when Aston Villa sign a GK (I'll probably go for Button).
DEF: It's "big at the back" with Robbo and TAA. It's part of my "Salah/Mane Exit Strategy". I'll certainly be looking shift Salah and/or Auba out to spread money out, but they are the safest bets for now, and if they take off early and their price rises, you can't buy them back. With both Robbo and TAA, I might survive the weeks that Mane/Salah explode if I don't have them on my team, especially if they are assisting and getting attacking returns. Last season I did the same, but Robbo got hurt and Allison too, but I'm still going back to the well again. KWP is a risk but I like attacking FBs and I like Soton based on their form after lockdown. Vinagre I have to keep an eye on. Shifting Vinagre or KWP for Saliba or Taylor should be easy to do. Saliba is one I am keeping my eye on. Ferguson may not play for a few weeks, but at 4.0 even if drops in value, it will be recoverable (and highly profitable) if/when he does start playing.
MF: I have a feeling Chelsea and United will have MFs producing at or near "elite levels" for much less cost. I could see some combination of Ziyech, Pulisic, Bruno (maybe Havertz or Sancho depending on price) producing really close to a combo of Salah/Auba/Mane/KdB. With one exception... Messi. Keeping big money here for now in case Messi actually, disgustingly, might happen is imperative. So, my plan here is to go with the safest bets: Auba/Salah and see if they take off before spreading the money out for the long term. Although I have to admit, I'm tempted to change Salah for Mane, since Mane looks in better form. JWP is on pens in what I assume will be a good team, and I can try to get him up to Ziyech quickly if I need to. Anguissa is just a gamble.
FWD: Werner is basically a must-have based on the ownership at this point. I personally think we'll see more of Abraham and Giroud than some people think, but I would not be surprised at all if almost teams have settled on having 3 Chelsea attackers (Pulisic/Zuyech/Havertz/Werner) really quickly once the season gets going. Chelsea's attack represents the best value for money, outside of Martial. Plus Werner is in striking distance of Kane and an easy downgrade (in points) to Ings or Martial. I've been tempted to switch Mitrovic to Che Adams and go all in Soton now, but that's too much of a gamble. Plus, historically some Arsenal's opening fixtures have been classics for the specialists in failure
Wickham is the worst part of this team, by far. Having him excludes any option for a 4-3-3 or 3-4-3, and I'm going be set on probably a 4-4-2 for many weeks unless I Wild Card. I'm reluctant to go for Brewster unless he actually does get loaned to Sheffield or wherever, because I'm worried I'll start losing money in price drops quick. If he does get loaned, then this gets much, much, more interesting. Getting Martial is going to be a top priority for me once the season kicks off.

MF: Salah, Auba, Madison, St. Maximin, Stephens
FW: Kane, Werner and Davis

Can someone provide league code to join please? Apologies if already posted.
How much for Danny van de Beek do we think? Probably not worth getting unless 4.5 though.
4.5? No chance he will be about 7/7.5
Should be 6.5 I think. With Greenwood at 7.5 he should surely be cheaper than him.
Pogba was 8 though which is really high for his deeper role.
So after some tinkering...
Ryan
TAA - Justin - Tierny - Doherty
Son - Salah - Auba - St Maximin
Ings - Mitrovic
Subs: Button, Walker-peters, Romeu, Brewster (transferred if he doesn't go out on loan in the prem)
I have 1.5m in the bank to upgrade Son to Fernandes

Is Justin for Leicester a sure starter?
Have anyone created head to head league?Can i get the code to join if you have created?
With the addition of Willian. Taking penalties. Get 1 point for a cleen sheet. Auba will easily get over 200 points playing a full season over 3000 minutes. And of the first i will put in my starting XI.
Arsenal can be an outsider to top 4 this season. Arteta FA cup winning, get a summer transfer window. Can might be good enough for top 4. I will not suprise. Then it mean Arsenal attacking players have to score many goals to get into top 4. Hard competition for top 4 this season. With Mourinho and Spurs too.
Fully fit easily Auba captain in first gameweek.
