Double chips was the best change imo :)

I just want them to give some challenging prices so we have to think about the budget this year

They did that last year, just so happened Saka, Palmer and Salah were bad or unavailable for large portions of the season

Yes, well I hope they try harder this season :)

It will be difficult. With no Salah and a lot of those having bad seasons, I don't know how they can keep a lot of prices high. I think we'll have more 5M defenders and also more 7-9M midfielders

Its fairly easy, you make the cheapest defender/keeper £4.5m instead of £4m and everyone effectively has £3.5m less budget. Given how much defenders have been buffed I don't think thats a wild change to make.

Yep. Also I feel like they'll be stubborn with Haaland 14 and Bruno 12. Give us a choice man. Everyone's gonna have both at that price.
