My Squad

The Theory
I have selected my premium players based on what I saw in preseason. I saw Kane play against my team Rangers and he was fricking lethal with two world class touches and two goals. Son well he just gets better and better. Son and Kane score and assist each other. When I look at the other top six teams they all have goals spread out the team. For me Son and Kane are the whom I have built my team around.
Goalkeepers
Alisson of Liverpool will start. I think this will be a solid year for Arsenal, who are managed by an ex Ranger in Arteta, so have picked Ramsdale who with the World Cup coming up will be eager to impress. So they will interchange depending who their teams play.
Defenders
My two defenders are two of the top from last year namely Cancelo from Man City and Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool. Those two are pretty self-explanatory. Newcastle could be the dark horses this year. With their influx of cash, they seem to have gone under the radar, but I have inlcuded Trippier as my third team defender. He is on set piece and some free kick duty and provided he stays injury free could be a great midpriced defender.
My reserve defenders are Patterson from Everton the young attacking full back signed from Rangers. He should be first choice with Coleman out.
Williams from Notts Forest I chose as he has come from Liverpool with a £17m price tag and should be a first team regular. Forest have made many signings and look to have a good chance to stay up.
Midfielders
I intend playing a 3-5-2 formation so am relying on strong goal scoring midfielders.
Bailey Villa The £5.0m midfielder scored three in preseason and Gerrard loves his wingers.
Son Spurs My superstar midfielder, a world class player and counting on him to do the business!
Neto Wolves I went with because of his price and set piece prowess.
Zaha Crystal Palace had an awesome preseason with five goals and three assists and is the penalty taker, however Palace have a tough opening four games.
Saka Arsenal 4 goals and 1 assist in preseason and was a great talent last season. With the World Cup he will be eager to impress.
Forwards
Kane Spurs Say no more Harry! Let's get the golden boot!
Johnson Nott'm Forest terrorised defences in the Championship last and is young.
Mitrović Fulham surely he can this time around. Again scored shitloads in the Championship, so surely he can deliver this time in the Premierhip?
