Not one YouTuber seems to have mentioned Diaby yet, third highest in assists in the Bundesliga over the last three seasons. None of them mention Douglas Luiz either and post Emery in charge he was one of the most productive midfielders in the league Most of them seem to also punt for Mitoma, when March is the same price, has marginally better stats and was a little unlucky last season. He also has less competition for his place from what I can work out and powered on through the season, whereas at the end Mitoma looked dead on his feet, with Europe on their agenda this season, I have the feeling that Mitoma is a bigger risk of rotation. There are so many differentials out there now that it's quite easy to go against the current template I had Diaby in my team the second he appeared on the game , would seem rude not to at that price there are always other options at £6.5 to swap him with a Brighton midfielder though I did have Doug , at £5.5m he's a steal but don't want 2 villa midfielders so have , for now opted for Le Celso as my bargain basement midfielder .. but there are other options , Brook at Bournemouth could be another good cheap one , back from injury and had good stats in previous seasons I've got Jesus for now 11 goals and 7 assists last year in an injury hit season isn't bad and they have Notts first game ... there's always a Watkins or Wilson swap option on him though mind you my team will change at least another 200 times by Monday Edited July 28, 2023 by tonyh29 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted July 28, 2023 Author Moderator Share Posted July 28, 2023 I don't see my team changing from now to the start of the season Short of an injury or some revelation in pre season I'm set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 taking a bold strategy to this year's event, no Man City or Newcastle players involved. If Qatar take over United, it's bye bye Rashford.

Rodders Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Nkunku or Jackson do look tempting. Gone Watkins, Darwin ( feel he'll still score quite a few alongside missing outrageous sitters ) and Ferguson, subject to change though. Might have to take Watkins out so as to not jinx the newcastle game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how bad it was I had a draft with Haaland Jackson and Nkunku in First thoughts are now Haaland Darwin Jackson I was trying to avoid Jesus and was glad everyone else wasn't, this also means Martinellis ownership will rocket so my team differentials are now heading towards being more template GRRRRRRR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
