If you're looking for stats for all the new misc categories, this link might be very useful.
https://www.whoscored.com/Regions/2...erStatistics/England-Premier-League-2020-2021

Also, if anyone hasn't noticed, we have free access to all the stats from previous seasons.
You can look at the old stats here https://sportsdeck.com/au/epl/dreamteam/#/past-stats;season=2020-21
and compare to how they would have went if the new misc pts were in effect (from your transfer console).
ie, Bruno got 476 pts, but would have got 556 pts (80 more).
Salah got 384 pts, but would have got 384 pts (1 less???)
Son got 358 pts, but would have got 440 pts (82 more).

The new prices have already factored these pts in, so where am I going with this?
No idea. If you know, please let me know. I'm going to bed.

Does anyone know if 'Selfish Harrys' is still around? Did they change their name?

CHE have a very tough early run. Havertz is enough. Only reason I have him is cos I can't find anyone else I like and his price is right to balance the squad.
I don't think Konate will start ahead of Gomez. Gomez cheaper too.
Yep will definitely wait to see how Liverpool's defence shapes up. Konate is quality, but if they give Gomez the nod prior to lockout, it's an easy adjustment. I agree with your point about Chelsea's fixtures - I still think both Havertz and Pulisic offer value, but I am well aware that Tuchel loves to rotate his attackers. Will monitor

I chucked Bachmann into my team and everything else fits in perfectly.
Happy to punt on him. Villa are a team that could fail to score.
BRI aren't fantastic, and a Kaneless Spurs with new manager could easily flop.

I'm hoping that an unexpected CS will see him score mega for one week, and that will bump up his price substantially.
Given Martinez was a superstar last season, but only avg 8.0 with the new scoring system, I'm not convinced extra units there are needed.
Will try him out for 2 weeks and then decide whether to flip early or wait for price changes before flipping.

Brighton don’t play Liverpool, Man Utd and Man City in the first 8 weeks, they play the 3 promoted teams in first 8 weeks

They kept 12 CS last season, which is decent, but actually conceded to SHU & WBA (two of the worst attacking sides) on all 4 occasions.
But then they kept CS against CHE, LIV & TOT.
If you're gonna get Sanchez, probably need to keep the faith for 8 weeks, as it will be tested with unexpected results.
For me, the loss of White and Sanchez's price relative to Bachmann has swayed me away.

WAT were very tight last season, especially in the 2nd half, when Bachmann took over from Foster (13/23 CS) and conceded only 13 goals.
In the first 7 GWs, the highest rank team they face is Spurs (7th), as opposed to BRI who face LEI (5th).
If Harry goes from Spurs, they'll be a non-issue, given he was involved in 37/68 (54%) of their goals.

Finally, being Greek, the tightwad option is the best, so 3.9 for Bachmann had me at "Hello".
