    Shorey's there so it's hard to know. But everyone hopes he plays for them!

    I had him in my team, but Spain are off to Puerto Rico for a pointless friendly on Wednesday. He might not start on Saturday.

    Torres in that squad also?
    If he is, could mean he might not start on Saturday as well.......

    He is in it but I'm certain he'll start for Chelsea. Their match is on Sunday and the Spanish lads arrive back on Thursday. Also Chelsea have no other strikers, only midfielders, so he has to start.

    I see Dempsey was not on the bench against Charlton in their last pre-season game, is he injured? He has been ever present on my team over the last 2 years. Do people believe that the arrival of Petric will mean that Dempsey will actually play in midfield? I would be interested to hear people opinion as Fulham imo have some nice fixtures starting off.

    I noticed this myself. Its a tough decision between him and Bale tbh.

    I'm a bit worried about my back line now.
    Not sure if any of them will start: Rafael, Lescott, Harte, Kaboul, Clarke.

    I'm hoping Rafael will be first choice rb this season for utd.
    Lescott didn't play the previous game.
    I think Harte played most f last season.
    I think Kaboul is favoured over Dawson, Vertongen seems to have a place nailed down.
    Clarke seems to be favoured by Lambert at CB, at least until Dunne returns.

    Going with a front 3 of aguero, tevez and torres until this seasons bargain forward shows himself and will then upgrade a defense that already has colocini and hangeland. Mid is fairly strong also with 2 9.5 mids and yaya.

    happy enough.

    Dempsey has had virtually no pre-season game time. I'd be surprised if he started at the weekend.

    Apparently he's really pushing to go to Liverpool.

    Doesn't look good for Fulham if he goes.

    He is a must in FF teams, I won't be starting him however while his future remains in doubt. He might not be as influenical re. set pieces if he does transfer to Liverpool

    BREAKING NEWS:
    Fantasy Premier League have announced a 6th midfielder spot and a 4th striker spot, along with allowing up to 6 players from Manchester United and a 20m transfer fund increase.

    Early reports suggest that people still haven't got a f***ing clue who to pick.

    One thing I'd love to know is if Van Persie will take over from Rooney on penalties (RvP certainly has a much better record) and set pieces.

    I thought about him but apparently he hasn't been very prolific at any other club.

    And I'd be worried about his playing time with Ruiz, Dempsey and Rodallega all there. Well Dempsey still is for now at least.

    I need a new name for my team and am useless at coming up with good ones, anyone got any suggestions, I will use the best one and can guarantee a mediocre season with a mid table finish.

    Not happy with the team, have seen better posted here but won't make anymore changes.

    man city would want to average 4 goals a game to justify my selections and man united not do well in first 2 weeks.

    front 3 cost 30.5, they better do the business.

    Cant believe im falling for the torres captaincy after banning him from my team last season.

    Well he should get at least 4 points and he has 180 minutes to do something to make it worthwhile, I'm taking a big risk having him, Mata and Hazard in for the first 2 weeks but I'm using it as an audition and whoever does best will be in my team after that.

    You will need to take a points hit in gameweek 3 as five of your players are unavailable without transfers you will have a 4-3-1 formation with two transfers that brings you to ten players assuming everyone stays fit and is selected. Get rid of harte if your not going to play him this week.
