I’ve been working on a complete list of every player I’m considering for selection next season. Thought it would be worth publishing these thoughts. As it stands, below is a comprehensive list, these are the only players I’m currently considering for my starting team.
I find it useful to jot these down in price order so that I can piece together a team based on price points for certain positions. As always, leave your comments below if you think anyone obvious is missing.

Think the list is really good, pretty much all the players on my radar.
I would also add Martial at 3. Especially if Ronaldo does in fact leave
Didn’t think of Martial, but just feel like he’s never really got going in the Premier League
Interesting how you have jumped from 3.5 to 5.5 in defence no 4 mill guys like walker or laporte whats your thinking mate
I think any players in that bracket are a little overpriced for who they are. Walker for example couldn’t even get 100 points on the board last season despite how well City did.
Very useful as ever DTT. I’m interested to see Jesse lingards starting price if he does indeed join WHU as expected. Possibly a great cheaper alternative to Bowen to free up much needed funds elsewhere? Also interested as to why nobody seems to be mentioning Thomas Soucek as a bargain player? He usually scores half decently and is priced very low this season. Could also be a decent enabler?
He’s a good shout – didn’t do quite as well last season but still nearly reached 100 points.
I think De Gea, and Walker worth considering with there prices
De Gea really let me down last season so I’m cautious at 3m. I think Walker is overpriced at 4m considering the low points he scored last season despite how well City did.
The only player in struggling to understand being anywhere near your team is Maguire, had a very disappointing season, he was even booed for a long time today during the friendly.
Completely agree on last season’s performances. But if we look a little further back he scored nearly 200 points the season before last and over 200 points the season before that. If they can improve under a new manager, then I think he will be good value for 3m but it’s a big IF
What about Cancelo for Manchester City. Marc Curucella worth Considering he goes City. Elliott at 2M for Liverpool in MF worth a Mention too.
Cancelo definitely going to be one of the highest scoring defenders but if it’s a choice between him and TAA, I’ve gone TAA but I’d be happy with either. Just don’t think we can accommodate both this season
KDB
Can’t write him off but for me he’s overpriced. I’d prefer Mahrez at 5.5m, if he gets regular game time he could be the highest scoring midfielder.
Must admit Bowen at 4.5m looks a good bet also, think he’ll carry on from last year did pretty well I reckon
I agree, just don’t like their opening fixture. I might bring him in after that one if he drops in value
Guimaraes of Newcastle is gonna have a decent season! Newcastle will aiming to finish in European places this year. 5 goals and 1 assist in 17 games since January. Not a bad return on a mid season arrival in Premier league. 3.5M and is a classed as midfielder.
That’ll be because he plays in midfield Mick. 😉😳
He’s actually a defensive midfielder (usually anyway) so I think I’ll leave him alone personally. Impressive stats for a defensive midfielder tbf though.
Thanks Mick, good shout, what about Sancho for slightly less?
Shout out for Nunez (5m) on your watch list, must be a contender
Good point – absolutely after scoring 4 last night
