    Suarez ban upheld combined with Deulofeu loan to Sevilla I see another player arriving in Barca in the upcoming days. We'll be getting a cheap RB so I'm thinking that leaves money for either Cuadrado or Reus. I'll still have slight chance of Reus:grin::grin:

    Reus. Won't. Leave. This. Season.
    His buyout clause next year is 25mil and he'll be able to choose from every top team in the world, while also getting cash for himself.
    And BVB won't sell him themselves, zero percent chance.

    That's what I thought as well but then I'm seeing all these reports in Spain about Atleti close to getting him. Anything about this in the German papers? If Atleti gets him for 30 mill and we pay >40 mill for Cuadrado I will be pissed off!!:mad::mad:

    Joined the fantasy PL (team "Nediljkova družina"). I've been playing it for two years and have been doing quite well, so I can offer some advice.

    Okay team, could be better.
    Fonte was great last season when paired with Lovren, now that both him and manager Pochettino left, not so sure. Caulker is a solid choice, but QPR isn't all that good on defense. Ward was in my team, but I dropped him today because Tony Pulis resigned and he was the reason for Crystal Palace's awesome defense last year. Keep all three of them if you want though, there are some uncertainties, but they could repeat their success. And they're cheap.
    Noble is meh, you could use another reliable midfielder (Henderson maybe? He's a bargain at 6mil£).
    I think Riviere will surprise some people this year (loved him at Monaco) and Bony will get his fair share of goals, but you should get a star here. Rooney, Diego Costa and Sturridge are the only ones available right now, as all other great strikers are either injured or not ready.

    Now this is a very, very good team.
    Defense is great. Vlaar is a bargain and he'll keep the Villa defense afloat, shrewd pick.
    You hit the nail on the head with Hazard, Mata and Sterling. They should be the best mids this season. Don't like El Ahmadi, he's terrible. I know that Shelvey is actually your fourth midfielder choice, but still look for an upgrade. Btw, Jonjo is a wildcard, that guy is totally unpredictable, he can score two goals in one match, then get a red card in the next one. Be careful with him.
    Giroud and Diego Costa will get you goals, pretty solid. Giroud can sometimes be frustrating though. I like that you're swinging for the fences with Bojan, he scored 3 goals in 3 matches for Stoke this preseason, and if he realises his potential, that could be an outstanding pick.

    No, maybe you're mistaking him for Schürrle? He's apparently close to a deal with Atletico. Reus is not in talks with any club.

    No, I wouldn't confuse those 2 lol.. There were rumors Atleti had made an offer and were in serious talks but never really did believe them. Anyways, the CEO is denying it now.

    Pep saying we're looking for a young and quality right central back and will buy one in the next 15 days.
    Heard he always wanted Montoya, we'll see.
    Laporte has a 40mil buyout clause and would be the best player available imo. Or try to get Varane somehow.

    Brah, Montoya (assuming you mean Barca's Montoya) is a RB. Barca won't let him go unless we have another 1 coming in as Alves contract expires next season. He is solid but not for a top tier team so please take him.

    For Laporte you would have to pay that release clause as Athletic isn't really a selling club.

    On Varane, very unlikely Madrid lets him go for 2 reasons. It's Pep and they only have 3 proven CB.
