With long gone from hull I'm thinking hull could go back to 4 3 3 their signings of Snodgrass and Ince would make more sense with this formation. Could spell trouble for bruce if so.

Good spot unfortunately.....

Although it would be a bit odd and risky to play a totally different formation preseason than in the league. They have Sagbo and Aluko who have played preseason too.

Hull have been playing 352 in preseason and Bruce has been in the team. However his surprisingly high ownership is probably mostly down to being the highest scoring last season of the 4m defenders. Filter defenders max price 4mon the FPL site and he's at the top so a lot of people looking for a filler just stick him in.

I've been away for the summer and haven't had a chance to do my team until now.

Since Shaw is out injured, will the young lad James debutise at home to Swansea? Can't think of any other United players who are left footed that could play there. Something which is very important for the 3-5-2 formation.

My defense is currently: Collins, Vergini, Chambers, James, Wisdom.

Who's gonna start for Stoke between - Wilson and Cameron?

FFS seem to reckon Wilson will so I've gone with him! Will be a disaster if he doesn't!

You'll have to go into the cheap midfielders thread to find United's LWB.

Ashley Young has basically been a hybrid of Bale, Ronaldo & Roberto Carlos.... In preseason....

He's almost certain of the LWB spot. Some healthy discussions on the merits of Young on here recently

Tyler Blackett may be the cheap way into United's defence. He'll prob start in the back 3 if Evans doesn't play.

Lucas Hood · 15-08-2014 2:50pm

Hughes is doing his presser now. Hopefully he says something of interest.

I think Wilson will lose his place after the third match away to City. Can't see him keeping Huthout for too long anyway.

Dempsey · 15-08-2014 5:54pm

I'm going with Hutton, Moore, Bruce, Dummett & Ferdinand as my back 5

20.5m for the lot

Bruce and Dummett may not play.

Any 4.0m players that are definite?

FHFC · 15-08-2014 8:38pm

As RMT thread i a bit in overdrive I may have more feedback on this cheap defence related question here.

Unsure about how necessary a united defender is just yet. Considering rotating a heap of 4.5m lads for three spots. So...

Jones, Colochini, van Aarnholt, Bruce, Moore.

or

A) Wilson, Taylor, Colochini, van A, Chester.

Same cost.

I'm aware of the game time risk of Bruce and Wilson. Farly sure Bruce will start but may be dropped if they go back to fa back four. Wilson will probably start the first few at least by which time Cameron (hopefully fresh from a few price drops) could come into contention.

Ps: Have Courtois in goal hence no Chelsea def.

I'd prefer option a which is the second option you gave most people would have called that option b . I used that fpl wizard app and am going with wisdom Hutton Taylor van Aanholt and pieters . 22 million with some lovely fixtures. Krul and elliot in goal so that's 30.5 for my back 7.

Liam2012 · 15-08-2014 9:10pm

How often would you play Moore? Their fixtures are awful.

Anyone considering Baird? Looks like he's played a lot of pre-season in a midfield 2.

Hmm, dunno how I did that. On my phone in my defence....

Thats a cheap back 7 all right. My budget for either option above is 32.5 including keepers but with Chsea cover. Probably....:)

Rarely. FPL Wizard gave me a rotation up to week 10 on which he played 2 or 3 times.

Iused2likebusts · 15-08-2014 9:35pm

Burnley have signed Stephen ward. Take that Mourinho.

So, is there any truth in this... I. E. Is Huth doubtful? I'll have to shift him out if that's the case. Can anyone confirm?

He's not in FFS predicted line up anyway.

I have hedged my bets and gone for bardsley instead. Gonna leave my team and try my best to forget about it. Gone for smalling, caulker and bardsley with chambers and moore on the bench

Why would you leave chambers on the bench?

who do you suggest i leave out instead of him?? smalling, caulker or bardsley? hard to call like

This week will probably be the only week he'll be guaranteed to play though. If you're not going to use him, get someone in that will play every week and it'll save you a transfer.

They are all good options but if you arent going to play chambers its silly to have him in your team as chances are he wont start gw 2 and you will transfer him out without ever playing him. If you are benching him Id just get another 4.5 def now and save yourself the hassle.

Good thinking cheers. I have gone for collocini instead now, same price and a gauranteed starter!

Ye and great fixtures after GW1.

Arnold Tanzarian · 16-08-2014 12:09am

3 stoke players in my starting 11... starting to douby myself now

!! begovic , bardsley and bojan... should i change bardsley , as i already have CS cover with begovic? or just bank on them not conceding many goals in opening fixtures. thoughts??

Dempsey · 16-08-2014 12:49am

I'm not understanding the love for Bojan, he's another Bendtner with a little bit more gametime is all tbh

24 games for Ajax and only 4 goals?? Even Kuyt, Alves & Samaras can mock him

Huth wont start. Go with Bardsley (You love a good United ex player anyway :-))

Haha, he's not a bad option at 5.5 in fairness but I'm going with Fletcher who's the same price and is actually a striker. He's also playing the worst team in the league in my opinion in Eddie Irvine's WBA.

Iused2likebusts · 24-08-2014 11:54pm

so far so good for the cheap defenders. Arsenal, UTD and chelsea have 1 CS in the 6 games they have played these being the teams that were attracting most attention. Ivanovic the only one thats caught the eye.
