fantasy premier league preseason games – the weekend part 2

Second-half team: Eduardo; Kalas, David Luiz (c), Clarke-Salter; Tomori, Scott, Pasalic, Kenedy; Baker, Remy, Boga.
Interestingly a game where the first half was pretty close to first choice for those available.
Information wanted from pre-season
Form players: Willian Batshuyai
Will Fabregas and/or Willian start GW1?
The Costa/CF saga
Potential GW1 lineup on current information
Costa and Matic look certain to leave. Bakayoko is out for 6 weeks after surgery so Fabregas could start GW1. CB Rudiger effect needs monitoring

1 player I’ve heard of out of that lot
Information wanted from pre-season
form players?
Can a £4.5m defender (Kelly or Tomkins) make it into the lineup?
Formation/who will be the mids in an expected front 3: Zaha and Townsend?
Will £4.5m mid Loftus-Cheek start and where
Will Hennessey stays as the £4.5m GK
Potential GW1 lineup on current information
Lots of questions with a new manager in charge
