My top 5 summer transfers from an FPL perspective (Pre Kane MCI)
๐ฃ INGS (SOU โก๏ธ AVL)
A proven goalscorer, if he stays fit he'll go big this season
๐ด SANCHO (DOR โก๏ธ MUN)
Finally after 2 years trying, MUN get their man. Really excited to see him in the PL
๐ธ SUMMER TRANSFERS
๐ต LUKAKU (INT โก๏ธ CHE)
He's a different animal these days, backing him for a 20+ season
๐ต GREALISH (AVL โก๏ธ MCI)
Rotation risk, but a baller. ยฃ8.0m is a decent price
๐ด WHITE (BHA โก๏ธ ARS)
ยฃ4.5m, improves an ARS backline that conceded 3rd least goals 20/21

๐ฏ FIXTURE TO TARGET
โก๏ธ NOR vs LIV
Ovcourse anything can happen in football but I can't help but see anything other than a comfortable win for LIV in this one. Given their early run of fixtures I'm anticipating triple LIV will be very popular. I'm going for a 4-0 win for Pool.
๐ฏ FIXTURE TO TARGET
โก๏ธ CHE vs CRY
Plenty consider CHE to be MCI's main contenders for the PL this season. I expect them to give Viera a difficult start to life as a PL manager given how impressive they've been under Tuchel, but a trickier run of games follows GW1. 3-0 CHE!
ยฉ๏ธ CAPTAINCY
โก๏ธ SALAH
6 goals in the last 4 seasons GW1, Mo loves nothing more than to get himself off the mark in the opening game of the season. I'm confident he will do so again this season with a very attractive trip to NOR to open the campaign.
๐ Locked as my GW1 captain
ยฉ๏ธ CAPTAINCY
โก๏ธ TAA
Finished the 20/21 season on fire and although VVD isn't expected to start GW1 & Robbo injured I still fancy LIV's chances of a CS. Trent is a BPS magnet who, coupled with the possible CS should be in and around any attacking returns. Should be considered.
ยฉ๏ธ CAPTAINCY
โก๏ธ Others
๐ต HAVERTZ
With Big Rom en route he'll want to showcase his skills against a CRY team in transition
๐ด BRUNO
Last seasons top scoring player, he can smash it up in any game. I fancy a return vs LEE

There'll be many like me that intend to hold on to their WC for as long as possible every season before inevitablely using it inside the first 5 GWs
So I'm wondering if it's worth just planning to wildcard in advance this season? Here are two options..
๐ EARLY WC?
GW4:
Feels a little too early for me. But this strategy allows you to attack early GW's โ
GW7:
Take advantage of CHE, LEE, MCI & ARS fixture swings with 6 GW's worth of information. Also falls during an international break where COVID/injuries can be an issue โ
๐ BUS TEAM
It feels like I'm going to have to part with Bruno if I want to pave way for Kane or Lukaku! ๐ฌ๐ญ
No doubt this team changes as the days count down to the GW1 deadline but I feel content with it for now โคต๏ธ
The Algerian has been in great form through pre season and unlike most other midfield assets is fully rested with no international involvement. But the inevitable rotation once other players are back to full fitness makes him a very short term hold in my opinion.
๐ฅ K. HAVERTZ
He should start as Chelsea's CF vs CRY this week but with Lukaku imminent I can't help feel Havertz's pre season appeal drops, especially with a tricky run of fixtures following the GW1 tie. I still think he's in for a good season tho so some might be happy to hold
