My subs are Cerny barnett shawcross britton, would love to get rooney in and pair him with aguero but i would have to downgrade toure

there's plenty of good mids in the 5-6.5 bracket. Toure a bit over-priced imo...

I'm looking for a bit of quality in the 5-5 6-0 area

Lots of options: Maloney, Nolan, Lallana, Noble, Taarabt, Park, Guilerme...

I'd like to see Taarabt step up and show his class this year, what about that spanish guy who swansea signed?

Michu. He hasn't been added to the game yet.

Michu. Good goal scoring record in Spain. Not too sure about Swansea though with Rodgers gone. Gonna stay away from their players to start off with

Bebe and Macheda have both scored in pre season get them into your teams lads :pac:

RB100

That's why I have him. What do you make of my team? I fear that my midfield is to weak but I need Rooney in my team after last year and I didn't have him

farranreeboy

Happy enough with the attacking side of it Rooney and Agureo are a must for me can i do better with the defence???

Also Holman, Dembele, Allen, Rodwell (ish), Ireland (if he can get properly fit this season) or if you can push to 6.5 there's always Pienaar or McClean. Yaya, Silva and Aguero is a bit of a city overload.

Pienaar if he moves permanent to Everton would seem a bargain for 6.5, but at the same time i'm wary of Everton's tendency to start seasons slowly

Go with rooney that's what i'm gonna do must downgrade toure first tho

If turkey neck stays at city I'd prob do Aguero to Tevez and then upgrade McCarthy to Pienaar. Point def taken about Evertons slow starts tho, they have cost me money betting wise in the past ballsing up potential shoo-in wins.

Rooney-anyone's who's valued at 6
Torres-Arteta/Sessegnon

Chelsea have a double week-short term torres and long term rooney i might go for???

Torres, if not usurped by another big name signing, will have many chances created for him in his first 2 games. I will prob captain him for the first game week and swap him for Rooney straight afterwards. I'm very very far from being convinced by him tho, his goalscoring record has never been really impressive IIRC, he's not as quick as he was, and even without new signings, lukaku will be pushing for more games this season. So in short term, yes

farranreeboy

Will prob use him for the double week and bring it rooney straight away as i plan to keep rooney and agureo

This is what I've come up with so far.

Begovic - Green


Cole A - Koscielny - Gunter - Cuellar - Demel


Hazard - Walcott - Sigurdsson - McCarthy - Frei


Aguero - Rooney - Petric



I'd prefer Mignolet to Begovic but where can I downgrade to find the extra half million. Feedback/opinions welcome please.

Still can't get the hang of this posting pictures lark

Any thoughts on this team lads? Thanks. And any (spannerproof) tips on how to post pics greatly appreciated too.

i think you should have at least one 'top' mid in there. also, i'd have some doubts about how much game time some of your players would get: Ox, Dawson, Rafael, even Clichy mightn't be guaranteed... i was burned last year in this regard (Richards, Drenthe) so trying to be much more careful this time round

farranreeboy

Who's petric? i would downgrade Koscielny

new lad signed by Fulham. striker. by all accounts seems a nifty player. could be a dark horse

farranreeboy

How would you rate my team?

Too "back-heavy" I think. Midfield would need strenghtening, could click, but not regularly, prob need Bale/Silva/chelsea mid/kagawa in there somewhere imo

agree it needs better midfielders, its just my first draft from auto-select, my ideal defence is all 4.0 to bump up my midfield

i would download Gyazo. then crop team with + symbol, copy and paste the link into [IMG][/IMG]

tomissex

First draft:

Krul - Ruddy
Simpson - Shorey - Williams - Shawcross - Hangeland
Yaya Toure - Kagawa - McAnuff - McClean - Hazard
Graham - Aguero - Torres

Scored 2 goals in their friendly yesterday.

RB100

I'm going to stay away from Ba. I think he will leave in January. What do you think about Nolan? WH have a good start
