Prefer the first one, Lacazette is a great pick. Preseason he has playing as the striker with Auba pushed out to the left wing. Both starting.

Kneejerked from Auba to Aguero. Waiting on an update on Bailly so I could stick in him there for Luiz, but in general I think I'll stick with this. I do have some second thoughts about Richarlison too, though. Not sure alternatives are any better and I don't know if I want to downgrade the defence before all the WC players are fully back with their clubs.
Ederson
Mendy - Robertson - Luiz (Wan-Bissaka, Peltier)

Aguero - Zaha - King

Yeah I fancy Lacazette but also remember how ordinary he looked last season.
Thought about ben foster?
I'm going for it, just did the Aubamayang > Lacazette transfer myself! Allowed me to get in Josh King which I'm quite please with.
Got Laca back in. Really happy with new team!
DDG
Mendy, Lovren, Jonny
Eriksen, Salah, Richarlison, Cairney
Lacazette, Aguero, Zaha
Subs: Norris, Stephens, Zanka, Wan-Bissaka
Not sure Lovren will start will he? Played the World Cup final so dunno how long he’s been back in training for.
Yeah my mate said that too. Not sure who is a good alternate at around 5-5.5
Coleman or David Luiz perhaps? Both got decent opening fixtures and are always good for a few goals.
Is there a caf h2h league set up?
If so code please! If not I'll go ahead and set one up

Josh King didn’t score many goals last season, and he’s pretty average to be honest.
I would but I have to downgrade someone then

I'm unsure on a striker at the moment. I feel with Aguero scoring 2 against Chelsea on Sunday (Could have easily been 3-4).
I just don't know how Arsenal are going to start or play so it makes me feel tentative about choosing Aubamyang.
I'm super confident Sanchez is going to pick up either a goal/assist and MOTM on Friday. I want him in on the basis that I can remove him on gameweek 2 but I just don't know how to do it.

Mashing my head trying to sort this
DDG
Mendy, Robertson, Davies
Jota, Salah, Richarlison, Cairney, Mane
Aguero, Zaha
Subs: Speroni, Tomkins, Cedric, Kamara
This is my current tinker, but it just feels a little weak at the top because I just can't trust Zaha to actually do well enough. Thoughts?

Second option for sure.
I wanted Sanchez but the gamble isn't worth 10.5 considering other options available.
On the basis that Aguero done really well and we still don't know how Utd will play, I guess it's best to stick to the safe option. Even if Aguero does not score he will be a big threat in the Gameweeks after.
My bet is they both end up around similar points. So set and forget until one gets injured. I've gone for the safer bet in Aguero, even though my heart wanted Auba.
Hazard anyone?
Need some help with my draft team. I have a shite defence.
Bellerin, Moses, Kolasinac, Creswell, Jones
I'm thinking of getting rid of Moses, Kol and Jones.
The majority of players available are the budget ones but I've had a look and Luke Shaw, Cedric, Daniels and a few others are about.
I'm thinking Shaw will probably start the first game and could be a good shout for a clean sheet maybe an assist who knows. Cedric has been tipped to play a lot more attacking under Mark Hughes. I think I want some Burnley defenders as they have a nice opening run and should pick up some Clean Sheets.
I don't know why I picked Moses.... he won't feature much.

Kolasinic is out fo ten weeks.
Yep which is why I'm getting rid.
Zaha is not an issue. You have Tosun, Mitrovic, Arnautovic, Rashford to trade him with. I'd be more worried with playing Richarlison and Cairney every week. I would not trust either of them in my first XI over a season.
DDG
Arnold Mee Keane Cedric
Alexis Mane Sane
Firmino Aguero Zaha
Subs
Speroni Neves Malone Stephens
Thoughts? Defense maybe a little lightweight?

Liverpools opening 6 games look great. I think Salah might notch a brace in a couple of those games but that's just me.
I don't see a problem with Zaha either. I would play either Cedric or Tomkins the first game over Cairney. You could even drop Cairney for Stephens of Brighton and use the extra.5 to get a 5 defender from either Burnely , Arsenal or Liverpool or United's Shaw instead of either of the two 4.5 defenders you have and go 4 at the back.
Don't like the look of Everton's defence, Silva not know as a defensive manager and They have not performed well preseason.
So one of the most difficult choices for me was choosing a GK. DDG is expensive. I don't want to give 1/3 of my City potential to Ederson. Chelsea's defence may not be great this season. Lloris is Lloris. Everton's defence seem slow, and Arsenal are Arsenal. So, for me, I figured the best option was opting for two £4.5 goalkeepers. And I realised that this season the stars were aligned for this to turn out great. So bear with me here...
Purchase McCarthy and Foster, then trade in Fabianski for McCarthy and you will end up with the fixtures;
Of course these 'ratings' may change over the course of a season, but overall this is a pretty good set-up for £9.0, with an average FDR of 2.42.

Great work, podurban. Might go with McCarthy/Foster then, they’re both nailed on right?
Nice work! I have Foster already but I would have to find another 0.5m somewhere.
I'm not expecting amazing things from a 6.5m striker but I believe he is getting played as a striker this season, similar to 2016/17 + he takes pens.
Interesting transfer Rondon to Newcastle - 6.0m , he could do well there.
I have this but gone with Fabianski/McCarthy. They have perfect Home and Away rotation.
any codes please?
