Have re-created The Super League 20. Cut-off was tight this season at 117.
Have sent invites to some who ranked above that.
If all accept their invites, then I'll have to cull.
My experience is that some decline, so cut-off will likely be around 142.

Thoughts on Son as a cheaper avenue (relative to Maddison and Kane) to Tottenham’s early draw (Bournemouth, Burnley, Sheffield, Luton and Fulham within their first nine matches)?
I think until we know what's happening with Harry, no one wants to look at Spurs attackers.
If Harry goes, then Richarlison might emerge as the best value Spurs attacker.

Didn't quite make it. No complaints, great league with terrific players. Pleasure to be part of the best league last year.

Thanks for being part of it last season and helping the league take out top spot. You weren't far off qualifying again for this season.
But there's always next season, so I'm sure you'll be back again soon.

Sheffield United: https://www.premierleague.com/news/3535114
RD1: Crystal Palace
RD2: Nottingham Forrest
RD4: Everton

Ahmedhodzic at $3,750,000 could be a solid rookie to start onfield in the opening rounds.
Yeah, hard to separate him, Egan and Robinson. I guess price and age makes him the better option.
Time will tell, but definitely one of them will make my side.

From limited knowledge about the player, I have heard his named linked to being a bit of a forward threat.

Just had a look. 6G 2A in the championship last year. A further G in the FA Cup.

Bit to like for under $4mil.

Yep, the price is right. But big difference in quality of opposition from Championship to EPL.

Connor Roberts of BUR has been a beast twice in the Championship (5G 7A, 4G 6A), but only managed 1G 1A in the EPL.
He's now $5.7m, so won't be going there. But with City, Villa and Spurs as their first three games, he might get belted down in price for us.

What I also like about SHU, is they play first on GW2 and BUR have a bye. If you have a BUR DEF, you can loop your SHU DEF score.

First draft. Not much left in the bank, but I need 3 big guns for captaincy options, and the rest are just too good value to pass up.

Pitaluga got no hope of starting and Pool should see many of the later kick off games.
Of the known first seven fixtures, he covers a decent C / VC loop.

Hopefully Flekken and Udogie are starters, or it's back to the drawing board.

Not sure if Al-Dakhil starts, but a BUR or LUT DEF around that price is the idea.
Have a bye in GW2 so gives me a loop in a week when Pitaluga can't help.

Of the 7 attackers, Szoboszlai doesn't have EPL experience, so might be the one to go if I need funds.
But at that price and with the way Pool play, he seems like good value.
Hopefully Pep gives us guidance on Foden as he's the other one to provide funds.

Sasa is a proven top level goalscorer and was unlucky to get injured in his 1st game last season.
He seems like a gift at base price, but there's other great options as well.

44 transfers but no boosters. Gonna be a long time before we get a DT. Trade wisely.
