Almost every club plays it tho, in one form or another
That doesn't change my dislike of watching it, especially how West Ham and Moyes play it. Oh, and while it might have been the most popular overall, I'm not sure whether it was the style of the top clubs. It's the rather unnatractive (target man) way that WH seem to apply it, nd have done so in the past, that I find a bit uninspiring. Andy Carroll (pre Moyes) probably put me off the style and Antonia hasn't done enough to change my mind.
 
1, their role is to score points as far as FPL concerned, if you’ve got north then fair, but I don’t think the 3.5m worth it.
2, yes, if captained all season, I can do the math, but I reckon Saka as an example will score 40 points more than any 5m midfielder, so negates that.
3, granted, last year he did get off to a flyer, I’m hoping not the same this time, but even if he does, if people stick to him all year then I think it’ll be similar points wise for the big players and think it’s worth a punt hoping an extra mid level player makes up the ground.

The only proper concern I have dropping him, is there aren’t many stand out strikers and I have to play one. Hoping KDB’s injury means alvarez gets the minutes.

Please join, I want to see how it works out. :)

You are right in that there is a real dearth of top class strikers these days, other than Haaland - and now Kane has left. Big teams all used to have big-name strikers, but the likes of Salah have probably changed that over the years. I took a punt on Nunez thinking he would get more games now Firmino has left - he started on the bench for Liverpool.

Just noticed Lukaku is still listed! Had no idea Chelsea hadn't offloaded him yet.

Pretty sure Spurs are in for Lukaku…….

thought I was already in the league. Will add now, think I start a week behind on points though.

4LEX actually started this one, and I didn't see another one because I wasn't in one. Maybe we've ended up with two though, I don't know.

I thought if you joined late it would still keep your total points, not just the ones from when you joined.

Will find out next week when I get entered.
 
Do you see it as a panic buy then? For a 19yr old, who is hardly proven. Surely there were other options?


Looks like Lavia is going to Chelsea as well


Caicedo‘s new contract £320k a week for 8 years !

Suspect Lavia will also be on a long lucrative deal as well


That will take Chelsea’s spending over the last 12 months to

£900mil !!
 
Thiught the 8 year contract loop hole was closed, still that's a big chunk of change.

You can still offer 8 year contracts etc but can only amortise the transfer cost across 5 years now

It is a staggering amount of money over a 12 month period - around £550mil net !

Wonder how long Pochettino gets before he is sacked though

Do you think Klopp would be under pressure if Liverpool look like not making the top 4 this season?
He’s also spent A LOT of money🤷‍♂️

Big season for Mudryk & Nunez who both cost a lot and haven’t performed.

Na, if Liverpool play badly this year, it will only be because they are still tired after the 21/22 season. Not Klopp's fault :)
 
Apparently Liverpool are reporting Chelsea to the Premier league 😂😂😂
🎻 🎻🎻

#FSGOUT is trending AGAIN 😂😂😂

They are another level. Even their fans (not all) believe the tosh. Someone I know was telling me doesn't matter about Chelsea if they bid more he will go to them.. convinced player has no say ..

He just couldn't understand that if the player says no they don't have to be sold ...... Doesn't matter if the club accept the bid

Jesus wept

Are they existing in a parallel universe where FFP doesn't exist?

Does this mean they will be offloading more players still?
 
If the Saudi league makes a decent go at signing players and are even slightly considered a threat FFP will disappear quicker than you can blink.

Thise twos seasons aren't comparable.

Nunez hasn't quite matched the but Mudryk has properly flopped.
