Least they ain't concede this time
scored 20 in a friendly last season but conceded 2 I think it was 
Didn't hate Iwobi but for $40 Milly good bye.
With Nelson, Martnelli, and Saka that's money well recouped. They'll be the cup players and can do what he was gonna do anyway.
Wish he had a third striker but Pepe will fill that role when necessary. Would have rather seen Eddie stay or get loaned abroad.
Ozil wasn't going anywhere and has looked rejuvenated
Mustafi will play some RB.
Who's the odd man out in the middle. Xhaka, Tereria, Mateo, Willock, Ceballos.

@Kunty McPhuck what is the FPL league code?

Europe has generally been a 1-2 team, some countries 3 team leagues since like forever.
Did people have issue when Lyon were running 7 titles on the trot at their peak? Now it's just PSG.
Germany always been Bayern and then everyone else.
Spain always been Real and Barca, we have to be thankful to Atletico for making it a 3 in recent times. But Valencia fell away, over spending and getting into debt trying to stay with Real and Barca. Barca and Real doing their own TV deals to phuck everyone else over has nothing to do with the PL.
Italy always been Juve, Inter and Milan.
Portugal always been Benfica, Sporting and Porto
Holland always been Ajax, PSV and Feyenoord
Belgium was Anderlecht and Standard Liege.
Sporting and Feyenoord cases they are a clear third team, who will win the league from time to time, maybe once every 5-6 years. Every now and again a team will have a little run for a couple of years like AZ or Wolfsburg did and then fall back to obscurity.
Football needs a rich league, otherwise transfers aren't getting done elsewhere in Europe, the money that club A pays to club B filters thru to clubs C, D and E.
The rest I can agree with.

Great to have options, will def be due to who we playing, no way will have Lucas and Dani, they will get steam rolled.
One of Xhaka\Lucas will always play
Also Unai prefers a number 8 to a number 10, so possibly Dani will be taking Ozil role in many games.

This is roughly how I have it. Give or take a few spots, I think Palace may finish a spot or two lower. Everton might actually take a Europa spot from United or Chelsea. I'm not impressed by United at all and Chelsea won't hit their stride until mid-season imo. The Europa spots are going to be REALLY contested for this season. United, Everton, Wolves, Chelsea, and Leicester all could challenge for it.
If Arsenal can run the score up I also think they have 4th locked up.
It really baffles me how we've spend close to 150 MM quid but our transfers seem lack luster. Like McGuire is cool but we paid more for him than VVD and he's definitely no VVD. United should find a way to buy players through other clubs.
E.g. Valencia CF buys McGuire for 40 MM, we then buy him off Valencia for 55 MM. Valencia makes a 15 MM profit and we pay 30 MM less than if we tried to bid for him out right. Just a thought.
But I guess that's why some clubs are tacking on sell on fees. To mitigate against that type of arrangement.
