Is this humble brag @Dirty Schwein ? Possibly not but he is a Spurs fan?

I guess winning the damn game gives you the right to brag?
Yep, they need to find a way of rebalancing premium defenders versus forwards.
Seven defenders scored more than 150 points this year versus two strikers. And those two strikers both cost over 12m, almost double what the defenders cost.
And when you look at the seven defenders who got 150+ (TAA, Cancelo, Robertson, Van Dijk, Matip, Laporte, Rudiger) it's basically driven by the floor of being regular starters in the best defences. Unless the City, Liverpool and Chelsea defences drop off, you could probably expect a similar batch of defenders from the same teams getting similar returns next year. Whereas picking strikers in that price range is a lot trickier, let alone at the prices above them.

Finished just inside the top 35k which has been my best rank finish in years. Best actual points finish by circa 200 points. Very lucky with the captaincy this season, 758 points from it which was a big help. Having Son for the last few weeks seemed to help me massively in my mini leagues. KDB also while ditching Kane and Salah seemed to work well. Good year for big at the back too
Realistically I say TAA 8, Robertson 7.5, Cancelo 7 or 7.5. Now I can understand raising Cancelo since he is clearly the best City defender, but if you raise him too high you need to raise all other City defenders to insane costs as well.
I think they should not overreact too much. City def was already good last year, but Cancelo was still only 6 million.
TAA has been 7.5 now two in a row. He could get 8, but I think 7.5 is pretty reasonble. Going cheaper defs can still save a lot of money.
For me they need to focus on the relative potential, but also allow us to afford to have 4-5 top picks as well.
Depends on how easy or difficult you want the template to be. With the current prices it's gonna be a fairly obvious template again.
Yeah it's always struck me as odd and a little frustrating that if they're not scoring or assisting there's no point having them even if they're the best in the league at their actual job.
You'd have someone like Roy Keane, one of the key players in the whole league essentially being a dead asset.
Tough job though setting the prices.
This was the season where decent price strikers were hardly worth it.
Kane had a little resurgence late on, and even Ronaldo scored most of his goals in little flurries.
If you had your time again you'd have 4 or 5 big defenders and work odd that.
I finished in the top 5k in the end 
A personal best for me.
Slightly annoyingly, it's the first season in a while I've not had any money riding on it and therefore I spent less time on my team each week but did better than past seasons.

If Mane goes Diaz could be a tasty option don't think he would be anymore than 9M, and go Diaz, Son and Haaland. As I think Salah, Son and Haaland would be impossible if you want TAA and Cancelo as well.
Well done. There's a lesson in there somewhere...I finished in the top 5k in the end

I think Haaland will be phased in. I'm going KDB. Salah isn't a certainty for me, I'll wait to see if he hits form, Jota will be my Liverpool attacker. Trippier is going to get good numbers and I expect him to be less than the big 3/4 fullbacks.
This was awesome. Great credit to the whole community for coming together and getting this done.
Will be playing another draft next season. Haaland or Salah as first pick?
Salah will be more nailed.
Who is keeping Haaland out from their zero other strikers?
Probably Salah in draft. He usually gets 200+. Haaland is pure guessing.
With Haaland there can be rotation ,will he perform as well in new league, injuries, pens or no pens. Plus he is a forward.
His fitness record goes against him, this season played in 30 games out of 47. There's also pep roulette they won the league by rotating players in the no9 place, and strikers get 1 point less for a goal and no clean sheet bonus.
I mean he'll definitely be on pens with City being notoriously bad at them. Other stuff is valid though yeah.
As Pep said, they might have to adjust their setup for Haaland. Could take some games before it gels, but then after that he could be a goalmachine. An easy way to get him in two transfers might be smart, if not owning him from the beginning.
Rumours the new season game will be out in 10 days.
Seems a bit early, but is actually in keeping with last year in terms of date before the first game. (Starts a week earlier this year).

First PL draft with pure guessing if I can afford.
Sanchez and 4.0.
Digne, Doherty, Shaw, Laporte, Chilwell.
4.5 Kulusevski Bowen Salah Sancho
Haaland Wilson Mitrovic.
The forwards can certainly change depending on cost. I hope Wilson is under 7 for sure.
I assume TAA is 8 and too expensive and Cancelo at least 7 as well. Digne is in since I think he will only be 5 and Shaw might be 5 as well.

You've clearly learnt nothing
Wilson yes is risky. He will haul as soon as you sell him or get injured. Which will be before gameweek 1 most likely, but if he is 6.5 a bit tempting if Newcastle buy noone.You've clearly learnt nothing
Championship forwards tend to do pretty well. Pukki, Dennis and Toney all with high overall scores.
I just put Mitrovic in since I do not know the other championship gem forwards.
If Adams is just 6 maybe punt on him instead.
In the last couple of seasons not a single new signing has averaged over 6 points per gameweek over the first 8 games.
He loves being a troll
Interesting. How many top players have done that then? (for comparison)
He does, but screw the Nations League… we’re going to a World Cup!!!

Even for the greats, doesn’t matter what they won as a player, this means a lot

Thought of mine, with my price guesses came to 99.5m
Raya ( 4m)
TAA Cancelo Chilwell Perisic Trippier
Son Diaz Bruno G (H Wilson, B Johnson)
Haaland (Gelhardt, 4.5)
I think you can afford more quality in midfield than 3 cheap ones. Or how expensive do you expect Diaz, Haaland and Son to be?
I am guessing Haaland 12 and Son 11.5, but maybe I underestimate them?
Diaz 9.5 I think. They might make Diaz more expensive if Mane is sold and making him more first choice.
He was 8 last season though and it is not like he killed it.
Guess we know soon. There is always some gems you did not think about and some players more expensive than you thought.
Thinking Diaz 9, Haaland 11.5 and Son 12
