What are peoples view on Dempsey, not many have him for some reason. Will he reproduce the form of last season?

Ok this is the team ill be going with baring injury, I think its a nicely balanced team, one concern for me is that Dea Gea could be open to rotation

I have settled on Michu and Walters as my 6.5m midfielders, I know Michu hasnt played in the premier league before but hes a big man and his record in spain cant be ignored, also walters pre season form has sealed the deal for him so pieenar just misses out

Noble or Maloney are the Obvious 5m midfield enablers so Ive went went noble

Kagawa and hazard could be risks but I think they will have stormers for their new clubs this season, I think siggy will be great for spurs too and only for hazards double gameweek I could have been tempted to go with him instead

Upfront ive went with Aguero , who is a no brainer and the main man at city, Pog is the 5m filler and with the double gameweek hes the best choice in that bracket, lastly ive gone with Torres, with Drogba gone he should be the main man up front for chelsea this season and with the extra creativity behind him, he could be a new man, however I know its a risk and the only reason I have in in at the beginning is his double gameweek, which is why I have 2m in the bank for that transfer to rooney in gameweek 2:), so lads what yethink?

Tinkered with a cheap defender plan, is this better or worse

Sorry but your defense is awful IMO. You need to invest a bit more in it.

Hehe. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I agree, it's pretty bad, but I understand the attempt.

Coloccini and Shawcross for 5m each seem to be the cheapest defenders you can rely on for a reasonable clean sheet return. After that, all the 4's and 4.5's are gonna be hit or miss.

Time will tell. I'm keeping an eye on Clyne, myself. Will undoubtedly keep him on my bench, but if he's playing in midfield, tons will get him in and make me a quick buck.

With this team what do you plan to do in GW3 when Chelsea and Reading don't play? Serious points hit to change out 6 players...

thats where my bench kicks in , West ham are at home in that gameweek so noble and mccarthy will come in for Hazard and Ivanovic,Torres will be gone at that stage for Rooney in gameweek 2,dea-gea will play instead of federici and fonte will come in for gorkess

One would think after the amount of time I've just spent looking at the thing, changes would be many. I've made two from my previous team.
Thoughts?

Strong team. Bound to do well.

Many will tell you to go for one of the main 6.5m players instead of Cabaye, but I think he'll be just as good this season.

I'd swap Cole out after a week or 2 for a United defender. Other than that, Tevez obviously needs to be watched.

But yeah, good team.

Cheers Carlcon,
Yeah Tevez came in for Rooney and Bale for Larrson, but that could well change again before the start of the season!

I can't be bothered to and take pic of my team so i'll just post it.

It's my second try and I have not changed it for 2 weeks. Can people give me advice on what area to improve because I am happy and unhappy with this:pac:. I am wary that a few of these players might not start and have 0 in the bank if all goes pete tong so help appreciated.

JUSSI / BEGOVIC

TERRY / SHAWCROSS / LESCOTT / RAFAEL / FABIO

KAGAWA / TAARABT / MALONEY / HAZARD / PIENAAR

ROONEY / POG / TORRES

LostBoy101

This will probarly be my final draft, thoughts?

RB100

Really like it apart from your defense. Just one or two upgrades and that will be a very good team IMO. Forwards and Mids apart from Cabaye is top class. I would either switch for a player same value or downgrade and use the cash to upgrade one of your defenders.

I'm tempted to get Walters in because he is in good form plus he plays as a striker but down as midfielder, I have in Pienaar instead. Hard to choose.

Any suggestions for my team?

I wouldn't have Terry myself. I'd downgrade him so I could upgrade Maloney or Taarabt. Looks like a solid team though.

This i my second time at this post.Any advice/abuse is greatly appreciated

Thanks for reply.

what about
TERRY --> A. COLE / IVANOVIC
TAARABT --> WALTERS

i'm hesitant to switch either because both have potential for big points especially Taarabt. But I do think Walters is the same. Also surly Chelsea will keep one CS in the DGW. I can't decide

I built a cheap defense as I don't see many clean sheets this season and last season spending on defenders like Kompany etc.. didn't work out as I hoped.

Cabaye is going to be something special this season in FF and good thing I have Walters and Pienaar to play around with it.

Would swap Mata for Hazard myself though, but thats just personal choice i guess! As far as Siggy Vs Walters, will have to see how he plays for Spurs before justifying his price and as said above Walters often plays up front but is down as a midfielder so you get value for money!

Hmmm... Didn't even notice this was open for the new season.

Hope everyone had a good summer, although by all accounts you lot seem to have gotten a lot of rain.

Anyhoo, 1st draft. F**ked if I'm going through the last 30 pages so if anyone would be kind enough to point out any glaring errors

I'm avoiding all new players, Kagawa/Hazard etc. Every year I gamble and every year I lose, Taarabt being the obvious one from last season.

dahat

Too reliant on the DGW perhaps?
I do think Graham is a better option than Pog and i think Dempsey is iffy given the uncertainty of where he will be playing this season

roryc

My thinking is keeper-wise I'm happy having Federici as I'd be using de Gea anyway for week 3 when Reading don't have a game. Can't see my keepers changing. I want a Chelsea defender for the season, similar with City, so either Terry or Cole will be there either way.

Pog is worth a gamble, if he doesn't look great I'll trade him out after a few weeks. Guaranteed we'll see a striker come out of nowhere and start well. I've given up on trying to predict this and plan to just get on the bandwagon early. Torres is already due to go out after week 1, I've left 2m in the bank to bring Rooney in although I'm guessing this is nothing new. Shorey is actually the most likely to change, but I'll have a cheap defender anyway so why not start with a DGW'er?

As for my MF,not a single one of those 5 is guaranteed yet. This will be chopped and changed a lot before season start. Like you say Dempsey might not be fit, Song won't be near as good if RVP leaves, I've never actually been a fan of YAYA, Nolan I've actually no idea about yet and Walters is just there as he was playing up front last season, not sure if this is even still the case.

I'll put some time into this next week, have only given it a half hours thought so far. Just needed to get a team in to get my private leagues up and running.

Has anyone mentioned a cash league this year? Haven't even looked at the rest of the threads yet so apologies if its listed elsewhere.

dahat

Cash League is being run off the main soccer page and by the same folk as last season...
Most other leagues have been reissued from last season i would think.

For a Chelsea defender i plunged for Ivanovic as he is more of a goal threat than Cole and unless Chelsea sign a RB he should be first choice in there

MF is a bogey for me also,Noble at 5.0 is very popular as he is the peno taker for West Ham.
