Premier League 2019-2020 we’re off

[howbow88]

Also, we finished 12th last year and 11th the year before. A bit more than '4 worse teams'

That says it all about today's costs when £20m is a gamble but not mega expensive.....it's criminal

I agree, bearing in mind a £54m deal was agreed 12months ago for this player and factor in unproven players are being sold for a lot more in this current climate,£20m is a good deal.

Hahahahahahahaha.

Palace season ticket holder here, and I do half a dozen away games a year.

Hodgson's football isn't particularly pretty, but it is pretty effective. Without him over the last 2 seasons, we almost certainly would habd been relegated. Especially so in his first season with us - the job he did was fantastic.

I don't agree with that, with any other manager you'd be comfortably to half with that squad imo. Luckily the last 2/3seasons theres been at least 4 sides with worse squads than Palace's.

Time has come to reset the transfer market as it has got silly

Let’s just move the decimal place back to where it belongs

Maguire shall cost 8.0 million
Dunk shall cost 4.5 million

This fekir shall be a gamble at 2.0 million

Our record signing Haller would be 4.5 million just over half of the 7.5 million we paid for Ashton who had premier league Experience and English tax.. about right

Neymar can cost a world record 20 million

All shall be right again

Not particularly pretty? Watched them live at Goodison last season and they were dreadful. Clearly came with 1 objective, to steal a point, played unbelievably negatively with Zaha the only stand-out player at all going forward. With Wan Bissaka gone already, and it looking like Zaha also moving on, it's going to be a very tough season for Palace, especially as I don't believe they have the pulling power to adequately replace those two players.

In fairness, you've picked the very worst game of last season

Our issue is that besides Zaha, we are fairly blunt going forward. Defensively we're pretty solid and Guaita seems like a heck of a signing on a free. In the midfield, again we are solid but unspectacular. McArthur is very underrated - a proper worker and pops up with the odd goal too.

Meyer might be the one to help us unlock more teams, but he wasn't particularly amazing last year.

What happened with him though? Was he injured when you signed him? Because he didn't play for ages did he?

I need the season to start so I stop tinkering my Fantasy team. I think I've settled on my team and then completely overhaul it the next day. I need to pick and settle on a team.

Ha, I started mine the other week. Problem is when a transfer is confirmed I go back on to see what value they've given him and if he's worth putting in the side, and then I'm changing it all over again.

Haha yep same here. At the minute my main dilemma is KDB vs Sterling. KDB gives me more options in terms of depth and a better GK and strikers, but Sterling has more potential for mega points. Decisions, decisions, decisions.

Do we have a GM fantasy league 🤔

I actually have KDB in mine. He's cheaper but only because he missed a lot of last season (hence less points), I think he has the potential to score the same if not more points than Sterling.

There was one last year but whoever created it hasn't renewed it for this season yet.

Think I'm going to go KDB, as you say back to full fitness will make a big difference, and has apparently been very good in pre-season so far. The other big benefit to getting KDB in is that I don't have to have Murray up front

This needs to be changed! Lol

I agree I'll have a look into it.

Does that mean that Dean Henderson can finally complete his season long loan to us again - was great last year.
Blades are spending some money of late, but hoping to not suddenly have to find a new goalie.

Rich

I hope so, that'd be good for all concerned.

He wasn't fully fit at some points, didn't overly impress in league cup games, and Hodgson was very loyal to the fairly inept Wayne Hennessey. Thankfully, he played more in the second half of the season and looks like a very good shot stopper.
