Tmrpted to spend it but can't see anything I like right now. Maybe Vvd to Robbo but I'm not sure there'll be that much difference in total points and 0.5m could be useful. Interesting shape. 5 playing defenders and 3 playing strikers. You'll have points on your bench early on. Nowt wrong with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll have points on your bench early on. Nowt wrong with that. It'll be 4-3-3 or 5-2-3 depending on Dalot and Bailey's fixtures/form. Kane and Jesus are locked in due to EO (unless you get Haaland for Kane) and I think Martial will surprise people this year. When given minutes he actually does well (even when not interested) and has a solid PP90. At that price I'm very tempted. Ultimately with the WC wildcard I'll likely be changing it all by GW8 so feel I can take some risks from the off and potentially have a few squad/bench players rise in value to exploit later.

YouUnastanFren Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 5 subs this season means you'll rarely get the unexpected complete benching so I've gone with a weak as p*** bench. Has enabled the hallowed threemium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite similar to one of my drafts just with Haaland instead of Kane. The Ward, Williams, Andreas, Archer bench is going to be very popular Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh I am not sure on him either at the moment, Spurs do have other options plus his age. It's very easy for them to sub him off on 55-60 mins and bring on a fresh wing back. He did manage to play a fair bit in Italy but the Premier League is a different level. I have no Kane and Son though and I'd like not to be anti sweating every goal that goes in against Southampton, there might a lot of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
