What do we think about Chelsea players? Best to avoid due to fixtures?

The guy I most want is Lukaku and Chilwell anyway and I struggle to see them playing and even be in the game in Lukakus case.

I picked Chilwell last season, Lukaku could be an option for me but I don't trust anyone else. Too much rotation in def for me

Really want to see Lukakus price. Super tempted to swap him for Kane and hopefully have a little left over to replace Abraham.

First year ever I only have 1 Chelsea player and that was Abraham because I knew he was about to leave and I was hoping it would be to be first choice somewhere like West Ham.

Reece James or Chilwell probably wouldn't be a bad shout though.

He could easily score 2 and assist 1 against Norwich - I'd get him in.

Thoughts everyone? I'm in a few leagues for cash and need to retain my title

Sanchez/Foster

Maguire/Shaw/Young/Tsimikas/White

Salah/Fernandes/Gundogan/James/Bissouma

Ings/Antonio/Toney

I little worried about my keeper and attack but can see how the land lies as I have 1.5 mil in the bank.

Also, wheres the love for Young? He will practically be a left winger and take free kicks no?

All advise welcome!

Ashley Young? Surely he won't start? Targett starts left back and they have a few wingers to keep Young benched?

I forgot he went back to Villa! Unless he's Benjamin Button he should've gone to Burnley if he wanted to be a regular.

I also considered Kelechi but didn't know if he was nailed to start?

Having second thoughts on Toney to the point where i may play a 5th midfielder instead..
Not 100% sure about Toney as well but at £6.5m he's more likely to score than any of the £6.5m midfielders. £6.5M is cheap as well and not much of a gamble.
31 goals and 10 assists last season and on penalties.

Brentford's first game in the Premier League as well, they'll probably go for it.

Will he? 36 years of age. If we're talking out of position then he wont be able to compete with Buendia, Traore, El Ghazi, Trezeguet, Watkins, Bailey for winger-spots.

If we're talking right back/left back, is he a starter? Just saw him subbed on in their latest pre-season match, so I'm a bit unsure of whether he'll play regularly. 36 is quite old.

For me, Salah is a necessity, his stats & projections for the beginning of the season are too hard to turn down.

You have far, far too much money on your bench.

I don't think you're gaining enough from not having Salah. Partially because the players you have are all standard picks for those with Salah too (they just have slightly fewer of them) but mostly because a significant amount of the money you've freed up from not having Salah is sitting on your bench in the shape of Stones/Digne and Raphina.

Gone for this with a view to swapping Vardy for Lukaku once he's signed. Goalies have exactly opposite H/A fixtures so one should always have a decent fixture. Had to leave TAA out but not too bothered about that as I can get Greenwood in instead. I've not seen anyone pick Sarr yet, he was decent in the prem last time Watford were there, and scored 13 last season too, anyone offer any views on him?

Sanchez (Bachmann)
Shaw, Tsimikas, Digne (White, Ayling)
Salah, Bruno, Greenwood, Sarr (Bissouma)
Vardy, Watkins, Toney

Sarr is not a bad option. Consider Benrahma or Soueck to give you West Ham coverage in a more stable prem side?

I like having the flexibility of having strong players on the bench early in the season when the squads aren’t settled and chances of players not starting are higher.

I think, in this case, the need to bring Salah in is a higher priority though.

Appreciate the advice folks!

For the first three weeks…

Greenwood/Antonio or Barnes/Martial?

Ings or DCL?

These are the last two decisions I’ve got (I’m sure it won’t be).

Mendy over Ederson imo if you want a premium GK.
Use the extra to upgrade Zaha to Greenwood/Gundogan.

Dunk has got 128 & 130 points the last 2 years.

I still think that’s way too much money spent on the back five. You’re really expecting them to have a clean sheet to score you points. At the beginning of the season no one is strong defensively cause new players are still gelling and players aren’t at peak fitness so there are more chances for mistakes.

So then, can I finally settle on this?

Sanchez
TAA Shaw Cresswell
Salah Bruno Barnes Gwood Raphinha
Toney Antonio
subs: 4.0, tsimi, ayling, 4.5,

0.5 cash for flexibility.

Be brutally honest because even I'm not feeling inspired looking at it.

Decent team, could get points from your midfield and attack, then a good defence. Just feel you’re lacking a premium point scorer..

Hi folks, kindly share some thoughts on my current draft?

Bachmann // Sanchez

Shaw - Dias - TAA - White // Tsimikas

Salah - Bruno - Grealish - Sarr // Willock

Toney - Ings // Obafemi

Okay I've chickened out of leaving Bruno out now. New team:

Sanchez
TAA / Shaw / Tsmiskas
Salah / Bruno / Greenwood / Barnes
Ings / Toney / Maupay

Subs: Smith-Rowe / Veltman / Dier

Not much value at 5.5. ESR probably loses his spot once Arsenal sign Odegaard/Maddison

I think Obafemi is being sold to Blackburn, apart from that good team.

Apologies if this has already been covered, but I have created a new league for my workplace and instead of the name I chose for the league appearing it only comes up as "Pending Moderation". Am I correct in assuming that this is because admins are manually looking at names to make sure that they aren't offensive/rascist etc? I am also assuming that I don't need to do anything and that my chosen name will appear once this has been clarified. Anyone else experience the same?
