Almost time to get started once again! The Premier League has started teasing out some prices ahead of the launch:

Eden Hazard (CHE) £9.5m, Pavel Pogrebnyak (RDG) £5m and Park Ji-Sung (QPR) £6m.

I'm still sort of processing this. All three of these are potentially good buys, but Hazard would have to hit the ground running to justify 9.5. Pogrebnyak is potentially interesting at 5, but he didn't do much at Fulham after that initial flurry after the transfer window last year.

More values:

Gylfi Sigurdsson (TOT) £9m, Shinji Kagawa (MUN) £8.5m and Papiss Cisse (NEW) £9.5m

Kagawa is very interesting at that price. I feel too much uncertainty about the Spurs midfield to lay out 9 for Siggy. If Spurs get rid of VDV before the start of the season, then Siggy could be a very attractive option. 9.5 is probably a very fair price for Cisse.

picked my team yesterday.
0th version of it, of course.
i'll probably change it gazillion times before gameweek 1.

Yep, I inputted a rough team just now. I tend to spend weeks nailing it down, only to throw the whole thing out the night before kickoff, haha. The site seems to be functioning very well; here's hoping for a smooth start to the season!

it "seemed to be functioning very well" last season as well and then no head-to-head scores were processed for first 2 gameweeks
