      More to the point...Milner is 6.5 as a defender, how?! Prices this year are daft.

      Prices are indeed daft this year. I'm really struggling to get together a team that I'm 'okay' with at the moment. It's like the players are either ridiculously expensive at 10.0+ or they're mediocre but still in the 7.0 to 8.5 price range. Where are the 'decent players' in the 5.0 - 6.5 bracket? It all looks a bit unbalanced to me this year.  I'll have to look into it a bit more later.

      To be honest, I have a decent team because I made it a must not to invest in defense.

      Got to have Kane and Sanchez in there, along with Coutinho and City and Chelsea coverage somewhere.
      Kane should be 12, Sanchez 11.5, Jesus 9.5 and would have been fine. KDB probably under priced. Stones has somehow gone from ending last season at around 4.5 to starting this at 5.5! How do they work these prices out?!

      Austin and Jay Rodriguez could be good bargains if they deliver, they have very good fixtures.

      Defender prices are brutal this season.

      Austin and Jay Rodriguez could be good bargains if they deliver, they have very good fixtures.

      Think I'm going to pass on Sanchez. With Lacazette coming in as the main striker, Sanchez will be starting on the left again and his stats aren't as good compared to when he plays in a central position. He had a considerable drop in form when he was moved out wide again last season. De Bruyne looks like a bargain for me at 10.0. I also like Defoe. Bournemouth play some decent football, he should easily score 15-20 again. If he was able to do that for a sh*t Sunderland team, he's going to enjoy himself at Bournemouth.

      I've been looking at Austin and Rodriguez. With the new Southampton coach, I'm not sure how they are going to line up this season. I'm sure he's going to bring in a few players of his own and one of them will probably be a striker. I like Rodriguez, but will he get in the team ahead of Rondon? Or will he play as a second striker around him? He might take Chadli's spot in the team, apparently he has had some arguments with Pulis. Going to have to watch quite a few preseason games!

      I will not invest in defense this year.

      I think it's a mistake to not invest in defense to be honest. Everyone will have the likes of Kane, Sanchez, Alli, Coutinho, Jesus, ... in their team. The difference in points in the long term is made in defence for me. They also get rotated a lot less and with all the top teams playing in the CL, the attacking players will probably be rested more often in the league. If you look at the points / million (costprice) they're good options to have. I invested heavily in defence last season and it really paid off.

      I will try the method this year. I always have invested in defense but not this year.

      Fair shout on Sanchez. But, even despite that dip last season, it was still his best season yet and was the highest scorer on the game. He's on set pieces.

      It's ridiculous! No chance am I spending 6.5 or 7.0 on a defender.

      More to the point...Milner is 6.5 as a defender, how?! Prices this year are daft.

      I think it's because if he got points as a defender last season then he'd have been 1st in the defender rankings.

      Hope Sanchez goes to a team abroad this summer, not just because makes Arsenal worse off, but because gives me one less FPL headache and don't have the hassle of trying to fit him in my team
