Sorry if this is a little big. Loving the discussion so far, keep it coming.
Okay so my reasoning's:
GK
Schmeichel (4.5) - Good opening fixture against a team that gets it harder to score than Burnley.
Fabianski (5.0) - Will be more my first choice starter. Finished top of the score list last season. Most crucially, they have the same manager as last.
Thoughts: Think your all mad going for goalkeepers at 5.5. These are from teams who are lucky to make a save in a match. Pantilimon got me 5 points near the end with 9 saves and Sunderland still conceded. To add, if Pantilimon & Mannone added their points total they would have finished on 154 points, so top.
DF
Ivanovic (7.0) - Best defender in the league. In the last third of the season he must have been told to go forward more because everytime I watched Chelsea from then on he was like a winger. Got most of his assists at that time.
Smalling (6.0) - I don't see United conceding in the first 3 games. Smalling is the first choice defender to partner whoever comes in Ramos/Otamendi etc. Scored 4 goals in 1800+ mins. That's incredible.
Bellerin (5.5) - Jury's still out but if he's a guaranteed starter he's in. Bombs forward, has a great strike, and decent run of games against non-lethal attack-minded teams to start
O'Shea (4.5) - Sunderland are very solid under their new manager. Go on Johnny.
Baker (4.0) - Cheapie
Thoughts: I always go with top teams to spearhead my defence at the start until I see which teams are going to have good cheap alternatives. I would have broken that rule for Tony Pulis' West Brom, but their opening fixtures are crap.
MD
Hazard (11.5) - Speaks for itself.
Walcott (C) (9.0) - On fire towards the end of last season. Will probably start as the lone striker. Jury's out on him as captain.
Milner (7.0) - Is going to play in a central role like he did with Aston Villa where he ran the show. 7.0 is a steal for me.
Ritchie (6.0) - It was a toss-up between himself and Wilson up front for who would I take from Bournemouth, but I went for him after Paully D's comments. You can't have those stats without a manager telling his team to play through him.
Anya (4.5) - If he starts would be a fantastic cheap option
FD
Rooney (10.5) - Played half the season last in a holding midfield role. He's the main man now with Falcao and RVP going. No brainer.
Bony (8.5) - Excellent City cover until the headache of Aguero's return. Will start ahead of Dzeko if they play with one up top.
Sakho (6.5) - Nice fixtures after Arsenal away. Will play as the lone striker with Carroll out injured.
Feel free to critique!

Solid side
I'd possibly downgrade Smalling and upgrade Milner or Baker. Baker will just kill you as you won't be able to replace him.There is a RMT thread however :P 0 -

Looks like a good team - well thought out.
The point you make about the GKs, and their save points, is interesting. You're right that they should pick up more save points due to number of shots being hit at them. However the other way of looking at it is for 0.5 more, you are getting a keeper from a top team. Those teams should pick up more clean sheets than the other teams. For example, you could have Courtois + Williams, for 1.5m less than Fabianski + Ivan. I know you won't get the same attacking points, but that 1.5m could be invested into your midfield, where it think Ritchie could be a weak link, especially when you see some of the players available for 6.5/7/7.5m.
Up front I like Rooney and Sahko. Not sure about Bony, as I don't see him as an option for more than a week or two, and I don't like starting the season with players that I know will be dropped/rotated regularly.
Ps. I like when posters outline their reasons for picking each player, rather than just posting the team - makes it much easier to give feedback!0 -
