Just noticed a spelling mistake in my team name and you cant change it 
However, Wanyama’s In Pajamas are still feeling lucky.

Indeed.
And then the squad i select just before the deadline will end up with a fair proportion either crocked in the first few minutes of the first game of the season, falling out with their manager within a week, or getting a transfer out of the english game before the end of august...

No dialogue. Just plot.

Deciding whether Walcott is worth sticking in as a midfielder who is likely to play further up the pitch. I still have severe doubts it'll make much difference to his goal tally, not convinced he's the striker he clearly thinks he is.

Right. I've done exactly what you've said
Yohan Cabaye is captain.
Where are the full rules how do transfers work?

Can not. Stop. Tinkering.

Me too, lol. Fwiw I've sacrificed Rooney to affford Walcott. I'm not going to be short of goals, mind, but if Walcott hits the ground running - and his pre-season form has been very good - he might well be worth it. Brave the man who ignores a striker listed as a midfielder, especially in a team that's going to score loads.

Oh, he's quite a risk. I'll have some right clatting about to do if he doesn't cut it, too, he's an odd price

Not this weekend, poss not next either. Not fit yet. I'd get Silva in there for a fortnight meself.

I think the only thing I'm still deliberating over is a defender - only found out tonight that Bertrand is injured, so wondering about Liverpool's Clyne or a different Soton defender. I'm nervous for Koeman's team, they've lost Schneiderlin and Clyne.

You're having a laugh aren't you? Sanchez?

Crunch time then everyone. Stick or twist. The choice is yours.
Last season I was quite brave and didn't really do any knee-jerk decisions - although I think had I got Hazard and Aguero in a month before the end of the season I'd have done even better than I did. But I left players to get on with it much more. Marathon not a sprint, etc.
I'm set, I've gone with the "pick one cheapest possible player in every position and hope for the best" tactic, but this has let me get 2 Chelsea, a Man Utd and a Liverpool at the back, Chelsea, Arsenal, Man Utd and Palace in midfield, and Liverpool, West Brom and Spurs up front in a 3-4-3. So at least my starting line-up is pretty strong.

3-4-3 is always my formation of choice, although last season I used 3-5-2 quite a bit as I had a strong midfield.
One of my big problems is that I become obsessed with finding the 'bargains', to the point where I forget to put in any serious big-hitters and so have a team that generally scores above the weekly average but never really does anything special.

Sounds familiar.
Who do people have up front?
I'm on Kane, Rooney and Deeney.
Looked at Aguero but too much effort to fit in. Could be my downfall.

I couldn't justify Aguero, he's ludicrously expensive, I mean he's the price of Jedeniak MORE than Benteke ffs but he'll be good for anyone that picks him. But I really wanted goals from midfield. This is much easier now than when midfielders were midfielders rather than wide strikers; back when FF started the lines were a lot clearer, Matt Le Tiss being the exception, maybe Juninho and Craig Hignett too, but now it's pretty easy to find midfielders who are essentially there to get goals and assists. Out of my starting midfield 4, only one is what you might call a trad. winger, whereas one looks likely to play up front, one behind a striker (and take free kicks), and the other takes pennos and is called Eden
