1. Thunshot
Luke Thunshot has done a phenomenal job of previewing each team for the 4 weeks to go preview. This Twitter thread is very informative, looking at value and must own players.
ARSENAL
Cech/Leno (£5.0) could be great value for whoever is the league starter.
Defense still feels like a minefield of rotation, but keep your eye on Kolasinac (£5.0) and Sokratis (£5.0).
Özil (£8.5) and especially Mkhitaryan (£7.0) feels underpriced.

4. Editor
It’s the promoted sides that make up a possible budget defence that costs just 22.5 million. With many premium teams set for a steady start after the World Cup, the temporary risk may pay off.
??THE BUDGET DEFENCE ??
✅Max spend 22.5
✅Until wildcard GW1-8
✅Only ONE top-six team!
✅Possibly two playing 4.0 DFsCPA Tomkins 4.5, Wan-Bissaka 4.0 ❔

10. Chief
Team structure is very important at the start of the season, with a limited budget. Chief sets out his thoughts for investment, including avoiding players still involved in the World Cup.
-Won't buy any footballers involved in the advanced stages of the #WorldCup
-Won't invest in three premium forwards
-Wont purchase a premium goal keeper
-Won't purchase two premium defenders
-Won't purchase a super cheap midfielder
-Won't puchase a super cheap striker#FPL— FPL Hints (@FPLHints) July 5, 2018
11. Pundits
The decision of whether to include Mo Salah in Gameweek 1 is tricky. Over 1,000 managers voted in the Fantasy Football Pundits poll. He’s likely to have an ownership of 50%, despite a big price increase.
⚡️ FLASH POLL ⚡️
At £13m, #LFC’s Mo Salah is the most expensive player on #FPL this season – however, will he make it in to your Gameweek 1 squad?
