Current draft





Considering going with a 3-5-2 formation. I welcome any feedback.

Good team. I don't fancy Nolan much but many do, and they have good fixtures. Just make sure you don't play the wrong Turner :pac:

No fear of playing the wrong Turner. I don't want to end up in Mr. Prodston's bad books!

Anybody have any opinions. I won't be rotating keepers so happy to take somebody for 4.0m.

Coleman
Mertesacker

I have to question this. You've mentioned it in a few post I've seen, and I'm not sure at all that I agree. For me, Mignolet is a better choice, considering he's a million cheaper.

Yeah Mignolet is definitely the best second option, at least at the start. De Gea is a good shout at £6m for week 4. I'm stuck between Hart + Micky T (who will be rotated) or Mignolet + Nastasic (who's not guaranteed his place yet).

The appeal of Hart is he has consistently been the best points scoring keeper over the last few seasons. He pretty much guarantees getting 4-4.5 points per game over the course of the season, and hasn't missed a game in years. Mr. Dependable. And City have a cracking start - nothing to say he won't pull 20 points from his first 4 matches. It just depends on whether you want to fork out for him, or go with the riskier Mignolet and use the million elsewhere. I don't think there's a lot in it, I'll need to plan my team for each of the first 4 GW's and see what the best option is. Mignolet might suit some selections better, Hart others. One thing I would say, if you don't have Hart you should probably have a City defender.

seems good apart from no bale, fairly balanced with strong players in each position.
I'd look at getting bale in though or you're going to be left with some agonising matches if he stays in the premier league.
Wouldn't take too much changing to get him in, brady in for snodgrass saves you 1.5. if bent signs for fulham, i'd put him in ahead of berbatov to save another 1.0, i think bent will score more of the two anyway. then you can use the 2.5 to upgrade hazard to bale, or if chelsea have a dgw, upgrade walcott to bale and get walcott back in for hazard then after the dgw, (when chelsea have no fixture in gw3)

edit: and if bent doesn't move from villa then maybe downgrade kone to a 6 million or less striker as you already have mirallas from everton anyway. there's a couple of decent choices, anelka 5.5, rodriguez 6.0,

I don't think Bale is a must being honest. I think Walcott and Hazard will score near the same and are a good bit cheaper. On Snodgrass he scored so high being the creative player for Norwhich. They now have more firepower i think he is a must.

On striker Berbatov will guarantee goals the team is set up around him and he takes set pieces. Kone scored 140 last year with a team with less creativity.

Some strong selections!

Fizman - 8/10
Really like this, you've managed to fit a strong midfield with all the 'Big 4' and a strong attack, without detracting from your defense. Your one obvious weakness being the same as mine, no sub keeper. One thing I would change is to work in a City keeper/defender. They have the best chance for clean sheets of any team starting the season, you may fall back without any cover.

jebforever - 8/10
Good team, although weak at the back. I don't like Mannone at all, but not much choice if you limit yourself to £4.5m. Don't expect to return many clean sheets from your keepers. I assume you'll play 3-5-2 most weeks? Therefore having a £5.5m striker is a must, and Cornelius or Anelka fits the bill well here. Your strength is definitely that midfield - formidable. The one bit of advice I could offer is maybe downgrade Zabaleta to Nastasic. Then if you fancied a bit of a gamble, downgrade Boruc to a non-playing £4m keeper. Then with the extra £1m upgrade Mannone to Mignolet. It's a risk, but I would expect Mignolet/Nastasic to return more than Mannone/Zabaleta, although you would rely on Nastasic playing AND Mignolet not getting injured.

Tinie - 9/10
Cracking team. Balanced across the board. Wouldn't make a single change here and it's almost identical to my current team, man for man (so obviously I will give it a high score ) One thing I would say - if you punt on Mirallas he needs to play ahead of Turner.

Vertonghen not worth the money imo. Also don't see Clyne scoring very high. Downgrading Vertonghen to sombody like Natasic would allow you to upgrade Clyne to somebody more solid.

The strikeforce is pretty strong. But i am unsure Paulinho and Wanyama will score very high.

Thanks for the comments Nuts, the thinking behind Vertonghen is that he is nailed on to start every game and gets a fair few assists and goals, the City defence constantly being rotated influenced my decision not to include their players, I'm still undecided on Paulinho and Wanyama, would love to get Bale in (if he stays at Spurs) but that would mean downgrading my strikeforce which I'm more than happy with.

Jaaskelainen isn't a bad shout, most people would go for Mignolet at £5.5m but WH have a decent run at the start. Not sure about Marshall as sub keeper - West Ham rotate with Cardiff 23/38 games while they rotate with Southampton every game of the season, so Boruc is your man. Midfield is pretty weak, too many untested players and no Walcott, Bale or Mirallas. Too much money spent on attack, over £30m! Downgrade Lambert to Anelka/Cornelius, and use the extra £2m to bump up your midfield. Also Vertonghen isn't worth £7m. You have one Chelsea player and none from Arsenal or City. Get Bale in for Paulinho, it's easily done.

Any thoughts on this. I've kept the same defense as last year, as it worked out great for me last year.

Baker, Kaca, Deulofeu, Whittaker all subject to rotation, possibly Ivanovic too (with Cesar A, Cahill, Terry, Luiz all due game time). Michu has an incredibly tough start. I'd go with Mignolet rather than Begovic at 5.5. United have a tough start and have looked very shakey at the back in pre-season. I'd avoid Evra.

Could i have some coments on this line up

http://gyazo.com/c41a208e6deb7b39c8557fd4f83c808d

Bale is subject to an injury scare so im gonna leave him in till i find out if he is playing the first match or not , will replace him with Paulinho for one match .

Baldie

Some changes made. How about this one?

Ok I have two options I'm looking at here which I'd appreciate been rated. They're kind of same but different.

MadForMickeyTurner 1.0:



and MadForMickeyTurner 2.0 (With .5 to play with):

Hhhmm, I've had a look and he appears to be fit, if he is injured I'll swap him out for Berba or Kone for a few weeks.

Sorry mate bit busy here. Back in Ireland for a family wedding and things are a bit hectic

Probably as high as I can go without Bale, I really think he is key to have from the start. Only one tough game in their first 5 and that's against local rivals Arsenal. Better to have him and transfer OUT if he's not doing well than transfer IN if he is. Your defense is solid, no sub keeper which I've discussed previously is not a huge problem. Might be worth the risk this season. Same with mid and attack, it's a decent balanced team. Other than Bale I can't really recommend any changes, and if you have taken the stance that he's not a must-have then this is a great team to start with.

Thanks for the feedback.

I think I'll start with 3-5-2 and if it appears not to be paying dividends I will not be hesitant to change to 3-4-3 or 4-3-3. I like West Ham's opening fixtures so I'm deciding on Nolan who usually has a strong start.

Jimmy Iovine

I'm caught between two teams at the moment. Both have used all money in the bank. The main difference is one team has tried to work Mirallas in at the expense of a Chelsea defender whilst also downgrading Zabaleta to Nastasic.

Opinions?

This is my number one team:



This is my second pick:

Much better than before I think. First 11 is very strong. Personally I'd go with either Anelka or Cornelius, but having both is a risk.

I'd probably go Baines -> Coleman, which gives you an extra 2.5. You could upgrade Lambert to Negredo and have 0.5 left to use elsewhere, or upgrade Anelka/Cornelius to Berbatov/Kone and have 0.5 or 1.0 left over. I'd back Coleman & Negredo, or Coleman & Berbatov/Kone to outscore Baines & Anelka (who will be subject to rotation), especially considering it allows you to upgrade elsewhere too.

I'd swap Whittaker and Baker for two 4.0 defenders that will play more regularly. James Chester from Hull or Ben Turner from Cardiff. If they play, they might nab a few points with a bit of luck, rather than ones who don't.
