After a month of buildup, stats and figures, it’s now time for me to share my personal XI for the Goal Fantasy game. Now, unlike past competitions, there is a bit of a weird caveat as the transfer window will close before the season starts for the first time in the Premier League era.
As such, things could change before now and Friday’s kick-off between Manchester United and Leicester but, barring any deadline day craziness, these are the 11 players I’ll be taking into battle for the 2018-19 season.
GK: Asmir Begovic - Bournemouth, £5.
