Looks pretty solid to me. Taylor mightn't get a game but you might not care much. I wouldn't like to rely on Jerome much -- he's never done much in the top tier. But otherwise, looks good.

Cheers! I agree with ya on both accounts. The 4.0m defenders seem to be guess work at the moment. Was thinking Baker of Villa but I actually picked Taylor solely because of this thread! The guys here say McClaren likes Taylor :P

Jerome has indeed been rubbish in the Premier League but I'm willing to give him a chance given Norwichs fixtures and his price tag. He's defintely not a long term prospect!

Opinions welcome.

Starting conservatively, not too many new signings and getting a decent spread of teams.

I like this team a lot - I'm currently thinking along similar lines. I like the balance across each 'line' of your team (for example, cheap, mid-priced and expensive forwards). Do you have anything in the bank? What are your thoughts on upgrading to Aguero/Sanchez a few weeks in?

Also, do you think Rodriguez will start? I really like him, but currently have Sahko.

Nothing in the bank. Not too sure about how to approach getting them in. It's hard to predict how players will start the season so I don't want to go with a "set in stone" approach to getting them in the team.

I'm kinda assuming he will, what position he plays in could be a factor though.

Ace2007 · 20-07-2015 12:13am

I have come up with the below, obv Aguero may not play GW1, in which case i can just transfer in someone else, but if Benteke goes to pool, and ade went to villa, it's not a bad line up.

Not often you see Ade popping up in RMTs! I think I would downgrade Ivan to Azpi and use that million to upgrade Ade to Sakho and Wanyama to someone with a bit more potential as with that line up thats a player you are going to be calling on a good bit. Sterling>Henderson or Chadli (or even Yaya) would also free up a little bit of money to get a better 4th mid. I think all 3 of them will likely prove to be better value than Sterling at least to begin with.

Every year there's the temptation to downgrade Ivanovic. Every year I bow to the temptation. Every year he starts off with a bag load of goals.

Somebody posted on FFS his scores for the first three games over the last few seasons.

I'm not a fan of a 7m defender but am tempted. Easy to downgrade to a 5.5 and use the money elsewhere if its not working out.

54and56 · 21-07-2015 1:31am

Best 4.0m defender? I'm looking at Baker from AV or Turner or Bennett from Norwich. Anyone else worth considering?

4m and best don,'t belong in Same sentence.
I wouldn't be looking at any 4m defenders yet.
Every team has better options that will more than likely play.
Taylor from Newcastle prob has best shout of game time.

Targett is the only one I'd half consider but that's just short term depending on Bertrand's fitness.

Plenty of 4.5's though, better to stock up on them

Welcome! make sure to hand out some advice too -- it helps concentrate the mind.

Big budget attack, eh? That's a huge gamble and there's a reason most don't go for it. Whether this is a good strategy or not will depend on where the value is this season. If there are cheap mids doing well to complememnt the heavy hitters, you're in. If expensive mids do well and people are playing them with high scoring cheap forwards, you're in bother. I think it's too early to commit to such a risky strategy, but good luck to you!

That said, your cheap defence and midfield looks as good as you'll get for the price.

Looks good, maybe a bit striker heavy. You could downgrade Hazard to Cesc and then move Punch up to an Arsenal mid since Costa is a good captain choice for GW1.

Welcome, always nice to see new posters

That front 3 is seriously strong but probably a little too much. With Aguero potentially a doubt for the first week I'd downgrade him to boost that midfield a little.

If you keep Hazard then you could always just upgrade Costa to Aguero if/when he starts. Puncheon is a favourite around these parts and a nice price but Palace don't have the kindest of starts and Cabaye may take some set-pieces so I'd be looking at perhaps Walcott or somebody in the 8-9 mil.

The defence is fine, cheap but not too bad. We'll know more about who seems likely to start over the next few weeks but there's plenty of choice for 4.5 defenders and Wanyama should do what you want in a 4.5 mid. Although you never know with Europa League rotation. A suitable placeholder for now.

The WBA goalkeepers should work well for a bargain price. A slightly more balanced approach between midfield and forwards and you'd be doing great. Who knows yet who'll hit the ground running anyway.

If you keep reading and posting you'll get along just fine

Well, you won't even have one starting keeper as Cech is pretty nailed to start for Arsenal!

After that, I don't think Yaya is going to ever hit the heights of two seasons ago. I know Ade is a forum favourite but he's an ex-footballer -- I wouldn't touch him with a bargepole until I've seen some form.

The defence looks solid. Fab rather than Haz is a decent shout, Ramsey is Ramsey, and Coutinho never did it for me -- consider Henderson or even Milner who I think could be good value if he starts regularly.

I'm all for cheap defence,but I agree with the lads.

One solid piece of advice I think is to play it quite safe early on, stick with the crowd a little at least. There are a lot of mid and high price mids who will be in a lot of teams, the Manes, Bolasies, Milners and the big guns like Arseanl mids, Silva etc who you need to get some coverage on. By all means when you see trends and form, take an informed different direction with your team structure, but play it safer for now I think.

A year ago it emerged he would play a large part of his time in midfield. LVG has confirmed that he will now be the main striker. It's a much safer bet this time.

I agree with Steven, a huge risk to start without him. I'm aiming to be able to accommodate a front line including him and Aguero.

He was to start the season up front. He did start the season up front. Everyone wanted to ride the Rooney rollercoaster until he changed positions if he did so, I had him in my starting team aswell. It didn't go so well. Had Rooney been banging them in as a striker, he probably wouldn't have been moved back. Van Gaal never seemed to place that much trust in Van Persie or Falcao.

His only competition right now is Wilson and Hernandez and he's confirmed as the main striker.. No way he'll be moved in to midfield with the competition there. And he'll have the likes of Schweinsteiger, Schneiderlin, Depay and Mata providing the ammunition :P

Lemlin · 22-07-2015 10:54am

I think Rooney will start up front and that he's worth a shot considering the midfield he will have behind him. Don't forget that he can easily be changed to another expensive striker. My plan was to start with Rooney, Costa and JRod but I might try and upgrade JRod to Benteke now.

I'm also keeping an eye on Mata. With Di Maria looking likely to move on, surely he'll start?

Any United supporters with an idea of how United will line out? I didn't pay much attention to them or Liverpool last year.

I'm not necessarily saying he will play in midfield. Moreso that based on his outings up front last season, he wasn't as dangerous as the top dogs last year like Costa, Aguero, Kane, Austin, even Giroud. The lack of competition up there does make him somewhat attractive to me, especially since I think United have a decent start and will do well, at the moment, I would have him on orange light rather than green or red. Proceed with caution kinda thing.

duffman21 · 22-07-2015 11:10am

3 -5-2

GK - Mignolet (LIV)

Some risks in there with Mangala and Moreno, is Yaya going to have a better season than last? Milner will he be on pen duties now....

Ziegler1988 · 22-07-2015 11:11am

Rooney was decent for his price beginning of last season. Scored when he was heavily captained against Swansea, assist against Leicester, and had a double digit against QPR. He got himself sent off against West Ham, but I had just sold for Aguero the week before

SpaceCowb0y · 22-07-2015 11:13am

I still refuse to have any LFC defenders in my team (and i'm a fan). We are just too unreliable at the back, i'm hoping the new signings will contribute to getting us back to scoring more than we concede because looking at Rodgers track record he doesn't seem to have a clue what defending really is!

Iused2likebusts · 22-07-2015 11:35am

I have rooney in my team at the minute but wouldn't be overly excited by him. I don't think he has had a really good season in 3 seasons now from both an ff and footballing perspective. I know certain things have been against him like playing oop etc. But considering he will also be off pens to mata and possibly f.ks to depay I wouldn't see him as a must have.

In the two US games, United have started Johnstone (DDG injured) - Darmian, Shaw, Jones, Blind - Carrick, Mata, Schneiderlin, Young - Depay - Rooney. Would still be surprised if Schweinsteiger doesn't start ahead of Carrick come the Spurs game, though.

That's not a strong enough midfield to have such a week front 3. With the likes of Defoe and Diouf in there I'd be expecting a lot of the big hitters in midfield. Have you money in the bank because it's hard to see where the bulk of it is being utilised?

Alfred Borden · 22-07-2015 3:16pm

Thoughts?

Paully D · 22-07-2015 3:24pm

I'm currently on the below after some messing around the last few days:

As mentioned on my previous draft(s), the plan is to go with as cheap a GK/DEF combination as possible in order to utilise attacking returns for the first few weeks before I wildcard to get Aguero in, by which time things at the back should have become a little more clear.

The exact players may change but I feel the Sunderland/Norwich/Leicester/Watford combination (Taylor is just a £4m filler who has the best chance of starting in that range) gives me enough good fixtures to play around with for the first few weeks and as I found the big teams tend to average 1.3 clean sheets over the first 3 weeks, I don't think I'll get left too far behind save for popular ones potentially racking up attacking returns. That I will have to live with however.

Hazard, Silva, Rooney, Sigurdsson, Benteke (Liverpool) and Costa don't need much explanation while I'll take a chance on Richie who was a machine in terms of attacking contribution last season hoping that Bournemouth can start well with their fixtures and typical promoted club bounce. If they score goals, chances are he'll be involved and no one else really tickles my fancy in that price range. Wanyama will be changed to a £4.5m with a far lower ownership figure to reduce the chances of being impacted by a price drop.

Any comments are most welcome.

I was thinking of changing Jags to Clyne but Liverpool also have a brutal start. Monreal is nailed on imo but not sure on Shaw. Think Blind is being talked up for CB?

You're never going to rest Courtois - downgrade Butland to a 4.0 keeper.
Collins is so far down the pecking order at West Ham now - cup games, if he's lucky.
West Ham have spent a few quid improving their squad.

Disagree. Spending too much in goals. If you spend 5.5 on a keeper, you will play him every week. Turner won't play so he needs to be upgraded. Plenty of 4.5 options you can downgrade a couple of those defenders to. I'd definitely find a way to get Rooney over Kane. Midfield is decent

bohsman · 22-07-2015 4:53pm

Looking at

Butland Hennesy

Coates Lescott Azpil M.Olsson Ward

Hazard Henderson Walcott Cabaye Redmond

Costa Sakho Deeny

Leaves 4.5m to bring in Aguero and Sanchez. Alternatively could strengthen and wildcard when those 2 come back to fitness.

Perfect team for me bar no Walcott. I think my eventual team will be very similar to that but I'll be going for Theo.

Yep, I said to a friend earlier that I think it's as good as I can get with the exception of Sigurdsson -> Walcott. I suppose I could take a chance on a £7m or less striker. My best options then would probably be Sakho, Mitrovic or Deeney.

It's then a matter of determining if Walcott + Sakho/Mitrovic/Deeney is better than Sigurdsson + Benteke for the first 3 weeks or so. If I went for Sakho or Mitrovic, it allows me an extra £0.5m to upgrade Steven Taylor to a nailed on DEF or if I went for Deeney I'd have £1.5m spare to pump into my side. Though Deeney = 4 promoted players in my squad which I wouldn't be too pleased about.

Liverpool do have tough enough fixtures for the first 3 weeks, certainly tougher than West Ham and Watford but Benteke can score against anyone.

It's a difficult one. What do you think?

Is 433 a waste of time?

Myhill (Hennessey)
O'Shea Huth Martin Ward (Saylor)
Hazard Walcott Silva (Stanislas, Wanyama)
Rooney Costa Benteke

I think 433 could work but you would need to spend more money on your defenders.
