Didn't even realise this was starting today... knocked up a first draft.
De Gea is a must imo, United have a dream start. Same goes for RVP or Rooney. Mata is debatable but he's in there for the moment. Debuchy is in on the basis that he goes to Arsenal, and I'm unsure about Bony/Wickham. My bench is weak too. One thing I would say is don't put too much faith in pre-season friendlies...0 -

Debuchy moved earlier today:

Would you not go for Cesc over Ramsey? Same price (I think!?) and instead of 2 players from the same team you get 1 Arsenal and 1 Chelsea - you don't have any Chelsea mids.0 -

Here we go with attempt 1/????.
Goalkeepers: de Gea @ 5.5m to start. United have some great opening fixtures. Schmeichel as back-up as he's the first choice for Leicester and cheapy enough at 4.5m while guaranteed to play.
Defenders: Terry (6.5m) was a rock last season. Despite him being a c*ck, he can actually defend. Threatens on the set piece too. Debuchy (5.5m) after his recent Arsenal move. Should offer on the attack while enjoying Arsenal's general strong back four performances. Dunne (4.5) should partner Ferdinand for QPR. Brings experience to the QPR side and should be good for some points against lesser teams. Vlaar (4.5m) is another cheap option, slightly swayed by his recent WC performance. Curious if he'll swap teams before the season starts. Evans (5.5m) is my 'wild-card' option currently. If he partners at CB, he'll be worth a punt for his goalscoring chances on the set piece. Was going to go with Rafael at RB for 5.5m as well, but if LvG opts for 3-4-3 at any stage, Rafael may lose out to Valencia.
Midfield: This is where to magic happens. Erikson (8m), Sánchez (10.5m), Fábregas (9m) with King (4.5m) and a placeholder of Jenas. Relatively straight forward options.
Attack: van Persie (12.5m) may go to Rooney if RVP isn;t fit for the start of the season after his WC. Having him in now means I have the money for a move if needed without a team reshuffle. Dzeko at 8.5m is a steal imo. Austin at 6.0m offers some goals as well, but may be dropped to free up cash if needed.
Critique away! Wouldn't mind fitting that Markovic chap in somehow...0 -

Its only a first draft, go easy on me.
Ideally would like a few mil in the bank to play with thoughout the season, although this team leaves me at zero. Going with some cheaper, but hopefully trusted Defenders and Midfeilders.
Mannone----Krul
Coleman-Zabaleta-Ward-Williams-Davies
-Sterling-Wilshere-Yaya-Sissoko-Osman-
Sturridge--Crouch--Remy

Hi guys, this is a first draft. Feel free to comment.
I've probably spent too much on the midfield five but with the current prices that could be the way to go.
Will probably try fit in a Utd striker once I see whether Rooney or Van Persie starts the season. I need Liverpool cover as well.
Not sure whether Pantilimon or Mannone will be first choice for Sunderland so will change that as necessary.
It will probably change a good bit before the start of the season. :pac:

Very strong team for me. Only questions would be:
1. Will Azpi start? Chelsea are signing Filipe Luis.
2. Upson and Steven Taylor are your subs and I can't see either starting. I have Targett from Saints down as one 4.0 mil defender that looks like he will start.
Your midfield is superb.
As for Panti, I think it's madness that people think Mannone will be dropped. He was a hero for Sunderland last season. I'm surprised he wasn't their player of the season.
Anyone who think he may be dropped look up the highlights of Sunderland's away game against Everton at Xmas.0 -

We're only just back in pre season training so we're a bit sluggish yet. You've clearly come back to training in good shape while the rest of us are a bit Ben Arfa.
We'll see what shape I'm in come GW1! Plus I've a one year old that's like an alarm clock at half six every morning which helps!I think Lambert will be used from the bench. Rodgers likes to play with one striker (he played two last season as Suarez and Sturridge were in undroppable form).
At a guess, I'd say it will be:
Gerrard
Henderson
Lallana/Coutinho
Sterling--Sturridge--Markovic/Coutinho
That's certainly the spin any Liverpool supporter I know has put on it.
Lambert doesn't fit the profile of the player Rodgers is signing (young with good potential) so he has to be for cover.
We all know Sturridge is fond of picking up "knocks".0 -

Thanks Lemlin for the critique.
Just on those points:
1. I reckon Azpilicueta will be our starting RB as a Chelsea fan.
ManBearPig (AKA Ivanovic) will probably be used as cover between CB and RB this season with Azpi sliding to left back if Luis is out.
I can't see us being as lucky with regard to injury at CB this year. So Ivan will see game time instead of Terry/Cahill this year.
Zouma will be another interesting player if we see injuries at CB over an extended period.
Felipe Luis will offer the size and strength on the left side of the defence that Ivan did last year with the ability to complete a cross :pac: and Jose loved the workrate Azpi gave us last year and at right back he will have much better Attacking potential.
I'm waiting to see what price Felipe Luis will come in at anyway.
2. On the 4M defenders, I'm aware Taylor and Upson are pretty much bench fodder. I have to find the gems who will play regularly.
Targett is a great shout, I've heard comments on him being the next great left back off the Southampton conveyor belt.
This problem is due to stacking the midfield so strongly. The forwards suffered as well as a result.
3. On Pantilimon, you're right. Mannone definitely deserves to be first choice at Sunderland but it's an easy fix as they both cost the same anyway.
Other questions:
What's the best strategy regarding strikers this year do you think? Is it one big hitter with a rotating 2nd striker or 1 big and 1 medium hitter?
With Sanchez being classified as a midfielder you could effectively count him as a striker if he hits the ground running so that's another way to go.0 -
