    Right, brought in RVP for Rooney.
    If transfer of RVP falls through then it's RVP out and Rooney in.
    Thoughts on this team?

    This, more than likely will be my starting eleven for saturday.

    I wouldn't risk Kagawa now with RVP up top and Rooney in the hole

    United's midfield and strike force will probably line up like this when everyone's fit, unless I've forgotten someone obvious:
    Carrick/Scholes

    Kagawa

    Valencia
    Nani/Young

    Rooney

    Van Persie

    delighted as a united fan to get RVP but it's really threw a spanner in the works of my FF team.

    Provisionally I've dropped Kagawa for Noble to (+3.5)
    dropped Zabaleta for Cuellar (+1.5) to fund this next bit

    Podolski in for Defoe (-1.0)
    and 4.0 left in the bank to transfer in RVP or Rooney for Torres or Tevez after gw 1.

    That's what I've spent the last hour coming up with, will probably change it another 5 or 6 times before saturday.

    You're probably right, but I like the cut of Kagawas' jib.

    Options for Kagawa?

    Hope Im almost done. Any advice appreciated.

    De Gea

    Evra Lescott Shawcross

    Yaya Larsson Mc Carthy Hazard

    Tevez Torres Pogrebnyak

    Subs: Jaaskelainen Coloccini Noble Williams

    With enough to buy Van Persie in the GW2.

    Or some variation with midfield / defence from this lot, which I dont have the brain power to concentrate on now!

    rsz_team_of_teams_2.jpg


    Really like this team, maybe the strongest ive seen. hard to get a more solid trio of DDG, Ferdinand and Zab and then the double gameweek for Gorkss (could maybe change for Clyne once Southamptons fixtures improve). Think I mite have heard Mccartney was injured, maybe keep an eye closer and could change to Demel if it looks like hes definitely starting. Barnett may not be a starter so maybe change to Bennett or Tierney.

    Id just be worried that Kagawa wont feature as much if van persie signs. I dunno what other peoples thoughts on this are but I feel that Rooney will definitely play, and VP will prob play. If this happens I can see 2 proper wingers being played and 2 proper CMs leaving no room for Kag

    Can allways change to pienaar, larsson or walters if you find theyre doing better than Michu, but at least he has a nice run of starting fixtures

    I thought I was getting comfortable with my team for the first 6 weeks but when I look at it I'm just not happy!

    Opinions:

    £1.5m in the bank with this

    team5.jpg

    Mata or Hazard? Will Mata play behind Torres and Hazard out wide? If so would I be better going for Mata? The likelihood is that I'll be dropping whichever one I pick around GW3.

    Am I over reliant on on West Ham with two players from a promoted side?
    • The intention with this team would be to drop Cole and replace with a united defender.
    • Drop Hazard and replace with whichever of the 8.5m - 9.5m midfielders look the most appealing at the time.
    • Upgrade Torres to Rooney/RVP or Tevez to Aguero. If I have to go with Aguero and Rooney/RVP then it's going to mean switches throughout the team to make up the cash

    What would your starting 11 be for GW1 from the team above?

    I'm going with Mata. I trust him more than Hazard at the moment. I'll also be getting rid of him once I figure out what the United situation is like.

    1st post. i understand noble is the pk/free kick taker for west ham. im tryin to go for midfielders that play in the hole minus bale so ill probably switch out mata after first gw but he could have a fantastic year; he was doing pretty well at the end of last season iirc.. also really want a utd player on my team after first game week. either kagawa or rooney.

    as for qpr this is my personal bias since they signed park but i think they'll let in a lot fewer goals this year.

    RVP ruining my day big time.

    So far I have:

    DeGea

    Zabaletta - Cole - Gorkss

    Bale - Cazorla - Yaya - Noble

    Tevez - Torres - Graham

    Subs: Jussi, Pienaar, Tierney, Clyne

    DDG will play every week in goals with Jussi to take his place if he doesn't start.

    In defence, Zab will play every week. I'll figure out what to do with him by the time Richards returns, although it's likely to involve Lescott coming in. Cole is just there for two weeks. Hopefully Rafael will be starting by GW2 so I can swap them. The other spot will be filled by one from the remaining three.

    In midfield, I've gone with Bale (reliable and guaranteed 90 mins), Yaya (guaranteed 90 mins but he's a short term option for me), Cazorla (my only EPL newcomer and the guy who I think will do the best from the newcomers available) They're all pretty expensive so if they're not scoring well they can easily be replaced. Yaya is the most likely of the trio to get the chop early on. Pienaar at 6.5m should be pretty reliable. Noble is unlikely to see much gametime in my 3-4-3 formation but is on penos and frees so should do a job if needed.

    Up front, I've gone with Tevez, Graham and Torres. I have 2.0m in the bank. Whoever from Rooney and RVP is on penos will be likely coming into my team by GW3. The money from downgrading Cole to Rafael (hopefully) will mean I can afford either of these guys.

    My plan is to stay away from United attacking players for about two weeks until it's clear where everyone will be playing. Not worth the risk right now with plenty of other good options in the game.

    I like it.

    Not particularly keen on Vaz Te as I'm not sure he'll be the main man at West Ham given the arrival of Maiga. Would you consider Pogrebnyak at all?

    Also, what's your plans for your 3 Chelsea players and week 3? Are you going to move some out before that or just bench them that week?

    I had Pog in there but i wanted a Chelsea defender , Mata and Torres , i think having 4 players on Dgw is too much 3 is prob pushing it anyway .

    Ideally Avb comes out tomorrow and says Michael Dawson will start ahead of Kaboul that will give me an extra .5 +1.5 i have left over leaving me with enough for Torres to Rooney swap otherwise i'll more than likely bring in Aguero for him .

    Leaving Tevez & Aguero up front maybe isnt the brightest idea but ill have another look before Saturday .

    Think i'm gonna go with this.
    Was thinking Mata out for Silva as soon as he's fit.

    I know my bench is a bit slack with Harte and especially Dawson, so any help/advice would be appreciated...

    Can anyone summarise (or point me to a summary of) the promoted teams and who we should be looking at for value there? Fantasy Football Scout has become a bit weird to navigate this year and I can't find anything decent.

    Tweaked a little bit

    Begovic

    A Cole
    Zabaletta
    C Clark

    Valencia
    Mata
    Larsson
    Kacaniklic

    Torres
    Rooney
    Tevez

    Subs: Green, Cuellar, Clnye, Mitaichi

    Just a little worried about the vp signing. Will rooney play a bit deeper and not be the main man any more? Better changing to Aguero. Also will kagawa be pushed wide now leaving 4 players (Nani, Young, Valencia and Kag ) competing for 2 spots? Could replace Valencia with Bale or someone

    Week 1.

    Have 1 million in the bank. Have changed Rooney to Van Persie this morning. Its easy to downgrade to Rooney after a week or two, but harder to upgrade as i feel RVP's price may rise a lot if he has a good couple of weeks early on. I think they will take points off each other, but i'm unsure how to approach Man City's forwards as yet, i have a feeling Tevez may be a bargain. Aside from Van Persie, i'm prioritising starters and ditching unknowns like Hazard.

    Ramires gets the boot after week 1. Satisfied with Hangeland at the back for now, bar week 2 when Fulham play United. Toure and Bale shuld get plenty of game time. Torrez and Ramires only chosen because of the DGW.

    Gambling on De Gae starting each game, if he misses one i'll take the hit and sub him out for a 5.5m keeper.

    Any criticisms? All welcome.

    EDIT: Balls i really need to figure out how to use Snipping Tool properly so people see a picture and don't have to click on it!

    Observations welcome on the team below please:

    I will be playing 3 5 2 for 1st GW & then probably 3 4 3

    Goal: DDG & (Henderson)

    Comment: Planning on playing DDG every week.

    Defence: A. Cole, Zabaleta, Hangeland, (McCartney (WH) & Stam (Wigan)).

    Comment: A. Cole for DGW, Zabaleta coz I think u need a City defender & Hangeland coz Fulham seem to have nice opening fixtures (except 4 GW2 v Man U).

    Mid: Yaya, Lampard, Valencia, Kacanikilic (Fulham), Noble

    Comment: Need a City mid. Lampard 4 DGW (takes penos) can be replaced by Ramires (if he plays) or Pinnear, Ireland or McClean in the future. Valencia, now that he has 2 class strikers to feed, he must get plenty of assists. Kacanikilic, again Fulham have a good set of opening games except for GW2 V Man U. Noble, takes set-pieces and if anyoone can do anything at WH he will surely be involved, again could be replaced by Stephen Ireland if things turn sour.

    Forward: Aguero, Torres & Pogrebnyak

    Comment: Aguero, toss up between him and Tevez, but will c how it goes. Torres will be Captain for this DGW and Pog coz I have no money left.

    Cheers

    De Gea


    Zabaleta Ivanovic Cuellar


    Bale Ramires Michu Pienaar


    Aguero Torres Bent


    Subs: Jaaskelainen, Fabio, El Ahmadi, Gorkss (who will start in GW1 but mainly be bench filler).

    Suppose what I need advice on specifically is Ramires, I don't rate him long term, but he seems to be the only Chelsea midfielder guaranteed 2 games in GW1, right?

    Also, how worried would you be with no outfield players from Man Utd, Arsenal and to a lesser extent Newcastle and Liverpool?

    Nah Arsenal :P

    I see your point though, will definitely need to get rid of a few before GW6, I want a pool defender for clean sheets though and Allen seems to cheap to miss out on.
