TAB hurry and finish the draft with Busquets.

Amazed that my number 1 target is still available!

Welcome aboard Wes Morg....

Actually no wait, I think I'll have myself a Sergio Busquets.

So was I to be honest. Although the only real surprise picks imo were from Tranq and Trebs.

He's the perfect fit for my side however I had all but written off him still being available. Biggest shock of the draft was Tranq abandoning his anti United policy and picking Pogba

I didn't know if you'd go for a CB and put Masch in DM. Mascherano and Pepe is not the most convincing CB partnership I must say...

right will sort my releases soon and bring in my CM

It would have been logical however I'm content to endure the criticism at CB, not overly fussed if it costs me a few points at the start of the season.

Besides it's not even the area I'm targeting to improve on next

Are there PC's and injuries this week?

........................Donnaruma.............
Hysaj............Bonucci....Chiellini....Sandro
.......................Marchisio..Rabiot...........
Berardi...................New AM..................Bernardeschi
..................................Higuain....................................

Subs: Gordon, Barzagli, Caldara, Locatelli, Belotti, Dzeko, De Sciglio


is Rabiot good enough? does he need replacing as well

PC will be done yes. Injuries will also be done hopefully tomorrow if everyone can update their squads asap. Think may have an injury free GW again, as it seems a bit of a rush from Thursday-Tuesday night (new day for teamsheets) to get teams all sorted?

I think Rabiot is good Tino but he still would stick out in that team. Who would the new AM be?

For me Rabiot doesn't stick out. Would rate him higher than Berardi although obv different positions

thinking cescy babes or David Silva

Romero
Alves Bailly Rugani Ghoulam
Modric Casemiro
Robben Eriksen Draxler
Lewandowski

or

Romero
Alves Bailly Boateng Ghoulam
Modric Casemiro
Robben Eriksen Draxler
Benzema

top one for me, never really rated Benzema as a goal scorer and thats what that side needs

If you sign Cesc then if I've got an offer in mind which would see you link up Marchisio & Vidal...

you know me I'm always open to deals

Hodgey I'd suggest giving it an extra week before starting the season personally.

I should clarify I do think Benzema is a very good link up striker and he suits Madrid because of CR7's exploits but wouldn't work in sides where he has to be the goal getter.

one of the first trades I did with Arsenal on LSTD's league was to swap Higgy for Benz as he brings the goals

Burki
Alonso Azpilacueta Alaba Ramos Alderweireld Valencia
Wanyama Castro Nainggolan
Pedro De Bruyne Mertens Iwobi
Costa

Best xi from that lot?

anyone want Dzeko for cash before I release him

I'd say that Benzema has scored goals in more big games than Higuain has.

That's completely off the top of my head though with nothing to back it up And think in any other side Benzema would get more goals, but he obviously is a huge part of why Real get away with playing Ronaldo on the wing.

Yeah Higgy has a tendency to choke the big games but thats the French in him.
