I'm waiting for them to change the choice of premier team to general fan or no team!
Apparently they will get it sorted.

It’s already done.
I downloaded the Premier League app a couple of days ago (usually just go online on my laptop) and chose Cov as my club.

Can't yet do it online, so will download the app.

So, who's going straight for Vik at £9m?

Yeah he's in mine

Me. In think that he will be good for plenty of assists as well as goals with the number of chances Arsenal create.

I'm undecided atm, they've got Man U and Liverpool away and Man City home in the opening 5 games. Might stick with Joao Pedro then reassess.

Man U defence was dire last season and hadn't changed. Man C were full of errors . Chelsea attack will be a minefield - rotation galore likely.

Me too but don't want Saka for now.I've managed to get him Palmer and salah in mine, just need to squeeze saka in somehow

All valid points, especially re Man Utd. I don't see Man City being anywhere near as bad this season and I think Pedro is in the driving seat after the Club World Cup but you're right, it is Chelsea...
For me it still feels like a safe option with better fixtures and a known quantity in the PL, and £9m feels like a lot when "generational talent" Wirtz is also new and only £8.5m.
Not saying I won't get him nearer the time, but for now I'm essentially trying to justify the inevitable FOMO

Just had another play around, and shoehorn is the correct word. If I was to go for Salah, I'd have to sacrifice too much

What Dream Team version is this for?

I've got Salah and doesn't feel like a shoehorn, maybe because I hadn't considered not having him. Still not plumped for Vik but I've got Watkins so can easily make a last minute FOMO swap.

Thought I'd got away with it with a Gakpo goal and Wirtz captain, but Mo pops up at the end...
Can live with him getting one, was never expecting him to have a bad season, just need to likes of Saka, Palmer, Vik and Watkins to keep close to him...
And get my captains right... which I didnt this week

Ha, just a bit! I was getting a bit narked "It's a goalfest - three bloody players on the pitch and not one assist between them"

No Salah and captained Haaland. Hoping he goes crazy at Wolves today!

A summary of the Wirtz performance last night with opposite takes from a Fantasy Football site I'm on.
The rational take:
neat and tidy, created a few good chances which is what his role will always be. Sound understanding with Salah already. Bournemouth without Gravenberch was always going to be a slog for a player new to the league and the pace of it. It's just one game.
My take:
fuck him, already sold for Semenyo. Looked shite, absolutely blowing when taken off at 80 mins despite strolling around, not affecting much, completely off the pace. "Bundesliga tax" zealots already sharpening their knives.
Out of Liverpool's front 4, he looks a comfortable 4th in FPL. Ignoring him until AFCON at the earliest. Mac and Grav will be the double pivot behind him, so I'd start worrying about Szobo taking minutes and even starts off him if things don't improve quickly. Once UCL starts, that might happen regardless of whether he's up to speed, anyway.

When it says my take it's actually someone else posting. I'm not sold on him but want to see how Rogers does today as I think that he could be a viable alternative.
