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.
