I’m a Tuchel Stan.. but I’ve been disappointed with his choices this preseason. It’s been 2 1/2 games and we still haven’t seen Chelsea’s complete starting XI.. at any point. I get giving guys playing time but need to give your starters time to gel too.

On top of that, he finally changes the formation but he does it against Arsenal and not the other 2 games which would have been better opportunity to get their feet wet. We haven’t played a 4-3-3 one time with Tuchel, and he breaks it out for the Arsenal game with a back line that isn’t the normal crew and a midfield that is in no way defensive.

Just weird decisions all preseason. Hope it doesn’t effect the start to the season.

Thank god something came up and I wasn’t able to make either of the preseason games that I wanted to. Losing a match is one thing but to watch a jumbled together lineup that looked like it was constructed by a coach that just couldn’t care less about preseason would have been an awful thing to spend $700 plus on. Never once saw our potential starting XI in all 3 games. Hope this doesn’t mean a slow start to league play.

Interested. Which platform you looking to use?

I’ve only played NFL on the Yahoo platform in the past. I saw Premier League has one Fantasy Premier League, Official Fantasy Football Game of the Premier League
but I’m open to anything. I looked at it and there are two options head to head or Classic. The thing I’m confused about is the draft, it asks for a time. That seems like the hard part. Any other suggestions or other platforms you or anyone recommends would be great. Or if anyone else has set one up, would you want to set it up?

I did a season last year on the one you linked. It was good and I think it’s the probably the most popular.

I say we do that one unless anybody else has any suggestions. Looking forward to it.

Also, the one I played was Classic. Classic is more of an aggregate point total over the course of a season and head to head is a little more unpredictable as it’s more like US Fantasy football in that you could have the best team and lose because of an off week. I like classic, but open to both. Just depends on how many we get to play and what not.

Was pretty against this when it was first mentioned a couple weeks ago, partly because he’s 32 and would likely be on massive wages, and partly for some off the field stuff last year that gives me pause as to whether he’s the kind of player that will fit in at Everton anymore.

However, I always loved the way he played during his time with us, and he’ll be highly motivated because of wanting to get into the Senegalese team at the WC. I’m coming around to the idea.

Haaland will get better as the season goes on but he didn’t look so hot yesterday against Liverpool. Think he had under 15 touches total yesterday and missed a couple chances that I’m sure in time he will bury. His movement though has a long ways to go. De Bruyne was visibly upset with him multiple times yesterday for not moving into the space that was available. City have played with a very fluid front 3 under Pep and that’s not exactly Haalands game. So it’ll be interesting to see how that attack changes and how Haaland fits in.
