Another strong game week. Delighted with my overall start and maintained a great position on the overall leaderboard.
Frustrating red card for Rodri, ultimately if I hadn't made any transfers I'd be closer to the top 100.

My top tips for a successful 2021/2022 Dream Team season.
In this thread, I'll outline my basic principles for a successful season.
Please share if you find it useful
Anyone tempted by Jimenez at 3.5m? Wolves should have extra fixtures in August as well. Obviously there's a risk he won't play in these but he was the only player to make last season's top 20 point scorers outside of the top 6 clubs
⚽ HIGHEST OWNED DEFENDERS IN DREAM TEAM
Alexander-Arnold - 33%
Trippier - 26%
Cancelo - 21%
James - 18%
Robertson - 18%
Dias - 14%
Van Dijk - 14%
What am I missing with Trippier at 26%?
3m doesn't seem like that much of a bargain to me
Update: Thoughts on the upcoming World Cup game with visuals of fixtures for the top nations and plan for those important initial transfers. Any thoughts welcome...
Here's the team I started with yesterday. Had to switch Castagne out last minute for Robinson. Decent 6 points but shame he lost the clean sheet late on.
For those who are interested. I've just started a post looking ahead to the new season. Starting with looking at some trends from last season and I'll be moving onto my initial team selection when the game opens...

Frustrating start. Only Gundogan and Mittelstadt in action. Both dropped points in unfortunate circumstances. I think Gundogan didn't take the penalty due to the heavy tackle, which benefited Havertz owners. Scotland also didn't look like scoring, felt hard done by losing the CS
Plans starting to come together for the upcoming Euros game. Always good to have a strong feel for the fixtures in such a short format tournament.
More details can be found at:
Who does everyone think stands out as the biggest bargain in the game so far?
After a very quick look Saka stands out at 4m with European football this season. 160 points last season
Anyone spotted any early bargains?
There doesn't look like too many this time around:
Jimenez (3.5m)
Kepa (3.5m)
Rudiger (3m but might be still injured)
Azpilicueta (3.5m)
Gomez/Matip (3.5m)
Shaw (2.5m)
Trippier (3m)
Lingard (2.5m)

I'd put James in a similar bracket to TAA and Cancelo but he costs 1m less. Both could be fantastic picks if they get plenty of minutes
Anyone considering McCarthy in goal? Looks like one of the cheapest keepers who is expected to start. Not ideal but with budget being so tight it does help with the rest of the team
Eventually something to celebrate:
Mittelstadt - clean sheet/assist
Gundogan - goal/assist
Musiala - goal
Really hate to think where I'd be on the leaderboard had things gone my way in the first round of fixtures.
How's everyone finding putting an initial team together for the Euro game?
Pricing feels fairly difficult this time around. Can't see many viable options for less than 4m at a quick glance.
Happy with finishing just outside the top 1,000 last season, having documented the whole process throughout the campaign. Looking forward to next season already though
Potential bargain midfielders for next season. (under 4m and scored over 100 points last season - other than Ziyech/Pulisic)
Soucek
Ward-Prowse
Tielemans
Torres
Barnes
Maddison
Moura
Saka
Raphinha
Jorginho
Sigurdsson
Harrison
Willock
B. Silva
Rodri
Traore
Ndombele
Ziyech
Pulisic
What are everyone's thoughts on Gabriel Jesus as an option for next season?
He's cheaper than the premium strikers and should get a lot more game time at Arsenal
@smithymark1981
@DTcustsupport
could you offer clarification? in screenshot it says that players won't be locked out but on the website it says they will?

It's very difficult isn't it. For me it's hard to see past Kane and Mbappe as they could score against anyone with both tipped to be top goalscorer. Then you look at Lukaku's record for Belgium and the group that they've got and it's hard to look past him as the third striker
Top point scorers from last season👇
🥇 Foden - 392
🥈 Haaland - 385
🥉 Palmer - 368
Saka - 363

All come at a high cost this time around, who is making your team? 🤔💭
