You're doing a draft/auction type one (i.e. where not everyone has got Harry Kane)?

Exactly. Old school. Would never bother with the modern shit where you get 1,000 points for a pass, lose 50 points for a yellow card, triple captain ultimate boost, all that Mickey Mouse shit. Ha.

You think Albion will keep a decent amount of clean sheets this season? I hope you're right. Thinking I'll go for Solly as should get him quite cheap as the rest go for Murray and Knocky.

Don't wait for me!
Can you PM me some details of your league? Not that I want to join, just interested how you do it as I have my own. Salah and Solly for me.
Sandro at Everton might be worth a look - I'm not sure he'll score at Lukaku level for them, but he'll probably outscore some of those with bigger names and fees.

We did ours last night, Kane, Lacazette, Morata and Sanchez went for silly money.
Giroud went really cheap due to not knowing what is happening with him, Costa didn't go at all, the mid-tier goalkeepers went cheap, Forster, Butland, Hart etc..
Austin, A Gray, Benteke, Hernandez, Gayle, Rooney went quite cheap.
Too many midfield players went cheap - Ozil and Coutinho went relatively low, Sterling was cheap, Wijnaldum, Barkley, Mahrez
Some hidden gems....
Kolasinac, Trippier, C Soares, C Daniels, G McAuley, M Keane, J Fonte, H Son
I'd avoid signing Darren Randolph, personally.
(he signed for Middlesbrough last week)

I wanted Gross rather than Knocky, he was listed as a midfielder in ours and I think he can play a little further forward. Didn't get him ended up with Solly and and Muzza.

Iheanacho - Currently cheap as he won't start much at Man City BUT Potentially going to Leicester, where he'll start every game.
Suttner - Scored 4 free-kicks last year, if he can get a similar number for us, added up with a few clean sheets or assists and he'll be good value.
Trippier - He'll pick up a lot of assists and clean sheets for Spurs.

Trippier already on the list. Hope Ihenacho does go. Also think we might see more of Batshuayi.

Ozil is a good shout if he and Lacazette can build up a good relationship it could be the new Bergkamp > Henry partnership!?!? and that was lethal!

I remember when the first fantasy football leagues started around 1994
Think The Sun or the Telegraph was the one of the first newspapers to do it, remember being on the phone for about 7 minutes registering each team by entering a 3 digit PIN number for each player by using keypad on home phone
Cost a fortune, used to use work phone to register loads of teams
It's come a long way since then and a lot cheaper to enter
Use the Skybet fantasy league now

I got pretty good value last season by including a few Bournemouth defenders (Smith/Cook/Francis). Reckon Dunk and Duffy might be decent FF points earners this season.
