    Crikey, this isnt easy...I dont remember it being so hard last season to pick a team :eek:

    One top class player and your budget is ko'd ...try getting a good team together after buying Drogba or Lampard or Rooney or Ronaldo and see how you get on ! I hate packing the bench with the bargain basement crew from the promoted teams but sadly thats gonna be the key! Gonna have to try and work out who the new Reading is !

    Sunderland, but its hard to figure out who will be in their team when the season starts.

    Ah jaysis.

    I'm wondering if it's wise to ditch the African players completely.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,124 ✭✭✭Jonny Arson


    I'm really happy with my team already after my first draft, just a little defensive dilemma and maybe a doubt over one of my strikers but the rest seems great! :)

    Good point ! They will miss the whole of Jan..if not slightly more :confused:

    Add that to the south american lads who will probably get the first few games off at the start of the season post Copa America.

    Torres will need time to settle Im guessing so doesnt seem a great buy at 10m straight off, same story with Utd's new lads, its going to be tough trying to guess who is going to play each week and who will adjust straight off.

    Berbatov is an obvious choice but Jol is a fecker for team selection, so unless Defoe is sold its going to be a nightmare pinning your hopes on Berba playing each week with Bent and Keane aslo fighting for places!

    I'm in now, and looking to improve upon last season's overall finish of 1,271st.

    Maybe break into the top 1000 even :)

    Keane is capt so I'm guessing he'll be playing every week unless he's injured

    I'm in too (11 Carraghers)
    only problem is I haven't actually got Carra in my team

    I was actually suprised that I found it much easier than usual. No doubt I'll change it a few times before August but this is it atm.

    GK: Sorensen

    D: Terry
    D: Agger
    D: Neill

    M: Benayoun
    M: Ronaldo
    M: Maloney
    M: McSheffrey
    M: Gamst Pedersen

    F: Berbatov
    F: Eduardo

    Sub: Taylor (GK)
    Sub: Stokes
    Sub: Jaidi
    Sub: Ingimarsson

    Once Maloney settles in at Villa, and stays injury free, he'll set up dozens of goals and score his fair share.
