The First Draft

The keener #FF players will now have re registered their teams and started to plan their way to success.

Following the principles from my previous posts, below is my first draft based on teams fixtures for the first 1-8 game weeks.

Whilst the temptation remains to double up on Liverpool defenders, for the time being I have opted against this. Both TAA and Robertson are £7M and I feel saving budget for my front three will prove more beneficial.

If you are doubling up, consider Gomez or Matip? (Both £5.5M) Its just a gamble on who you think will partner VVD and bank those clean sheet points.

Mane / Salah was arguably my biggest deliberation, and with the AFCON also affecting their start to the season, they are very much “watch this space”. Origi feels a no brainer at this point given he’s on a sunbed whilst the others are yet to enjoy a break.

Kane’s opening run of fixtures together with a full summer off (including his marriage) will stand him in good stead to make a fast start in the race for this years golden boot.

Ready, Set, Go….
