Why are there so many Tottenham fans on this board?

I can only imagine many of them spent time in Pigeon Forge at the go kart tracks, and seeing as how Tottenham have 1, it’s only fitting.

I'm in the fantasy league, again. They kept asking for a new favorite team, since my LC Foxes got relegated. I guess I need another team that is actually in the EPL.

I love Saka, but I'm not picking Arsenal, Man U, Man City, Chelsea or Liverpool. Too easy. I got it down to Fulham, Aston Villa, BHA and Newcastle. Leaning towards Fulham, but still have some research to do

If I was choosing between those 4, I’d go BHA. I also like Crystal Palace with the Ted Lasso connection.

Villa are going to be a fun side to watch. Also look into Brentford, if you like enjoy teams that employ Moneyball or heavy analytics.

We just cannot have nice things. This just put a huge damper on my expectations. He was class all preseason. This says 10-12 weeks but I’ve seen also mentions of up to 16 weeks. Won’t be back til probably January.

Him and Jesus both are out at the opening of the season. Will be curious to see some of the opening squads in FPL.

Him and Jackson looked great in link-up play in preseason. Was really looking forward to that partnership. Main problem is we don’t have an experienced back up at the 10 position. Don’t love our options.

Can’t believe it’s only 3 more days to first PL game. Excited!

Any idea on the plan now? Jackson up top and just hope Sterling and Mudryk or someone can step up in the attack?

For preseason, Chukwuemeka was backing up Nkunku at the 10 but to be fair Nkunku also played LW some too. Final game of preseason was probably the closest look to starting XI we got and that at actually had Chuk starting at the 10 with Nkunku out at LW.

That 4 man front was so fluid all preseason though. Wingers inverted a lot and they all took turns being the one to drop deep to get the ball and progress. FBs stayed wide and provided the width. My personal thought is it will be Jackson up top with Chuk at 10 and then Sterling and Mudryk on the wings. We will see though.

Looks like we have 9 people now

What would be awesome (and funny) is we had like 16+ people and then had relegation for next year, making two leagues and having the typical promotion/relegation from then on

If we had enough people join we could set that up ourselves pretty simply. That would be fun. The top half from this season are in league 1 and the bottom half are league 2. Then next year the top half use code for 1 league and bottom half use code for a different league. The following season the Bottom 2 of league 1 get relegated and top 2 of league 2 get promoted. That would make intense pressure to finish top half, which is what makes soccer great.

It’s a long season, ask all the questions you want and don’t panic too early. I didn’t have Halland for like the first quarter of the season last year and managed to win our league. For real, ask about chips or subs or any of that. Have fun with it

Do players who transfer to another EPL club stay on your roster?
