      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

      But if you "invest" in defence then surely you can't afford "the likes of Kane, Sanchez, Alli, Coutinho, Jesus [the big points scorers]" in your team and you'll fall way behind anyhow?

      Joking aside: work away Dan - I'll be watching with interest.  8)

      I should've made myself more clear  ;D!

      You don't fall way behind if you invest the difference in money wisely (which is of course more easily said than done). Kane and Sanchez together cost 24.5m and had 488 points together last season (that's absolutely massive of course). Coutinho, Sigurdsson and Zaha all together cost 24.5m million too, but had a collective 501 points. So I would have none of the highest points scorers from last season in my team, but I'd still have more points and more importantly, more options to pick from depending on the gameweeks and the fixtures.

      Same goes for defence, you can have Kane (224) and Francis (89) for 17m or you can have Hazard (224) and Walker (142). People are blinded by some of the big point hauls the big hitters get on some gameweeks. Top defenders in attacking sides with a solid defence get a very steady amount of points, it looks a lot less spectacular, but worth it long term in my opinion. It does give you a lot more options too to change formations. If you're constantly stuck with a 3 man defence of budget defenders, there's not much you can do. Of course you need a big hitter to captain, but you can only captain one every gameweek anyway.

      You probably already knew exactly what I was trying to say, thought I'd just show why I (on some occasions) prefer investing in defence rather than just try to fit all the big hitters in my team. Now watch me completely fail this season, haha  ;D! Still haven't picked a team, too much still going on and need to watch a few more preseason games.

      To be fair I did Matty... I just like to tease in this thread.

      Before [season] kick off - I have a fair idea Kane will score a few but how do you pick which defenders are gonna keep clean sheets? 😊

      ------------------------------------------------------------

      Just checked back there troops... last season was my 10th season at this and it's interesting to see how easy/difficult it has been from season to season.

      In 2008/09 I scored 2,028 and finished in the 13ks... 2015/16 - 2,016 and I am in 564ks. Highest 2,337, lowest 1,852. 🙄

      Wouldn't have gotten more than Alonso surely?


      No he wouldn't mate. I forgot to take away the points for the amount of times we conceded 2 or more goals.

      Milner would have got an extra 43 points for goals & clean sheets but he played in 9 games where we conceded 2 or more so overall he would have finished on 173. It would have been enough for top 3, only 5 points behind Cahill in 1st.

      I might be missing something (probably). Surely smaller the league then the easier it is to work out each others team before the game starts?

      Does that make sense? I hope it does

      Each user will have different players. You choose your 'shopping list' and then try to have the best possible team. If you choose Firmino and others will not have the choice to choose Firmino.

      Do you wishing list and then on the day try to have a good team.

      I get all that, but when you draft a player and he obviously then becomes unavailable to other teams, surely in smaller leagues it's easy to then work out what team they will have?

      Last year I played togga draft, if the draft premier league is copying it, every team will have his/her players revealed.

      Just wish I wasn't the stubborn idiot who refused to put in Lukaku. Don't really have a choice now as I don't want my squad value to go down / Lukaku's price to rise too much because that would make it very annoying to get him in the team later on.

      I was pretty happy with my starting eleven and almost all of them delivered. Sucks that Kane missed twice alone in front of goal, that would've made a massive difference.

      Play all 3, far too much money on the bench otherwise that could be spent elsewhere

      Can't can I ...it only shows 2 options for forwards.

      Midfield I have Mane, Salah, Ali, Matic

      Edit...don't tell me that I can play players anywhere on the pitch :f_doh:


      NOOOO!
