Version 7 - Hopefully my "Final" team.

Thoughts and criticisms?

Any thoughts lads

Keepers

Cech and Hennessy
I was torn between Cech and Courtious but Arsenal have an easier start.

Defenders
The plan is three at the back and to rotate Coates, Huth and Taylor

Moreno he is good going forward worried if he will start

Shaw
I think United will be very solid this year

Huth
Ranieri is usually defensive minded

Coates
Sunderland have a decent start

Taylor
Cheap and hopefully starts

Midfield

Hazard
No reason needed

Walcott
If he starts he should score very highly

Ritchie
Bournemouth have a nice start

Mane
Expensive but Southampton have a decent enough start

Depay
He has looked good in pre season

Rooney
He should score a good few up front

Lukaku
I am probably only getting him in for week 1 and then moving to Sakho

Bojan
Bit of a punt Stoke have a decent start

In my opinion Fab & maybe even Mata are too expensive to have when you aren't going to be captaining them. I would downgrade one of them to Mane or Henderson/Milner and use the funds to upgrade Bamford & Wasi to Sahko & Cedric/5.5 depending on which one went or something along those lines.

If it turns out that is your final draft then fair play you are the strongest of the lot of us!!

I'm not going to lie kolorov is also tempting me

Gonna go with this. Adebayor being my only doubt to make my team this day week.

You're having fun posting this one! Ade will certainly be very tempting if he moves would certainly allow for a few upgrades.

Haha yup, forgot to crop it right :pac: I'm hoping he can move soon as he is a solid third choice CF or otherwise Ill probably go back to Benteke and seriously downgrade the defense :pac:

Other dilemmas:

Is Kane worth the 9.5m?
Is Cazorla the right pick of the Arsenal midfielders?
I'd like to have Ibe as the 5th midfielder, but he's an extra .5m that I can't afford with my present team.

I'd really appreciate any advice, as I've been buried away and literally am not in the loop at all with the teams this year. I feel I'll probably be WC-ing early.

Kane - I think so if not we'll soon find out between GW2 & 6 but he is looking sharp in pre-season and those fixtures give him the chance to really start the season fast.

Arsenal mid is tricky I prefer Ozil at 8.5 personally but its very close.

Ibe even at 5 is a luxury right now we just don't know how much game time he is going to get definitely keep an eye on him but better to get a playing 4.5 to start with.

And the tinkering has begun.

First draft

Walcott ozil milner hazard Ritchie
lukaku rooney sakho.
plan to rotate sakho and Ritchie and in gw 3 play my 253 as Bournemouth play west ham.

Some surprises in there. Non yellow pack defence. Strong front 8. Who are you and what did you do with Busts?

Not saying that's wrong btw. Do you plan to shift Lukaku after gw1 or do you see yourself keeping him beyond that?

Came up with this after a lot of deliberation:

Goalkeepers: was going with myhill and Hennessy, but with it looking like David Marshall is arriving, I think this is the next best cheap option.

Defence: going with Darmian, but that may change to shaw. I plan to start Darmian/ Shaw every week, and then play 2 of the other 4. O'Shea has nice fixtures, Huth is nailed for Leicester who should get a few cleanies, ward rotates quite well with the others and saylor looks like the best bet for a starting 4.0m def.

Midfield: Contemplated going without hazard, but he will probably be heavily captained in gw1, and I can't take the chance that he will explode. The more I think about sterling, the more he appeals to me. I had silva, but the extra 1m I get by choosing sterling is crucial. Walcott has the potential to explode whenever he is on the pitch, and with his new contract and Sanchez not being fit, I think he is worth the gamble. I'm thinking about Brady as my 5.5 midfielder. His delivery is incredible at times, and with norwichs opening fixtures, he is well worth a punt at that price. There isn't a lot of great options at that price. Have behrami as my 4.5 at the moment, but whoever is there will be a benchwarmer tbh.

Strikers: I think Rooney is probably a must have atm, and if he gets good service up front, he could have a cracking season. I think Costa is the best option until aguero is fit, and will be a straight swap in gw3/4. I think Wilson is the best option at 5.5 for the moment. I always like a promoted team in there first few games, especially against villa, who have been shambolic at the back in pre-season.

This team gives me 2m to get Aguero when he is fit. Thinking about getting Kane instead of Rooney/Costa, but happy enough otherwise.
Any opinions are greatly appreciated!
