I really like this one. The extra mil will be useful in upgrading fletcher or the bench after the first round of games

Cheers. I'll also be able to 'downgrade' both Sanchez and Hazard to Ramsey/Ozil and Fabregas if the need arises and at the same time free up a lot of cash.
Just need to be absolutely certain my bench players are all starters

Looking likely that this is the team I'll play in GW1.


Sub bench is hopeless and I am a bit worried about going with Mannone but I'll worry about that after the first week. .5m in the bank. Have I overlooked anything massive?

Fairly happy with team, defenders need to be looked at and still a question mark with Wickham.

DDG Krul

Terry Mertesacker Rosenior Williamson Baker

Fabregas Mata Eriksen Johnson Nolan

Rooney Giroud Wickham

0.5m too much spent on goal keepers imo
Also 12.5m on Terry and Mert is too much also, especially with Merts start to the season. Your midfield has suffered big time as a result of all you've spent in defense

Any opinions on this? Feedback welcome. 1.0m left itb

Same midfield as me, I have jovetic(possibly end up with Dzeko instead) alongside Rooney and Giroud. I've gone de Gea in goal though and Cahill instead of Luis in defence, rest of my defence is average. I find cs at start of season hard to predict so tend to put no money into my defence.

finnharpsboy

must be draft number 1 million at this stage

manual_man

what do we think of Costa + Mata VS Rooney + Hazard?

Costa £1M less...

Pretty big danger of you not being able to field enough defenders.

Downgrade Ward-Prowse to Albrighton for the extra 0.5m for an upgrade to defence, either Mariappa to Ward or Wisdom to Taylor (Swans) perhaps? Swansea have a good start, 2 home games in a row after the opening game.

That extra 0.5 won't do much for you in midfield as you're not going to bench any of the other front 7. I mean if you're starting Siggy away to United then you're starting all those 7 every week. Worry over Dzeko starting maybe, but albrighton will come in at that time.

All 3 of them need to go and Lamela should not be your captain

Have Kane on the bench now with Arnautovic replacing him, Still keeping the other two until near the end of pre season and i will see how they are getting on!

Very strong I think. I'd not be inclined to go for Debuchy myself so early the season. Arsenal have a few though games in the opening 7 weeks. He's also picks up a lot of yellow cards. He got 8 of them last season and one red. Not a deal breaker by any means but as I've often heard said about this game, every point counts.

I thought the same originally, but I'd happily rest Debuchy against City and Spurs (goal fest) and play Cameron. As for the merits of Debuchy himself, he caught my eye last year playing for Newcastle. Always seems to get forward and attack. His 1 goal and 4 assists actually didn't do him justice imo. I know little about him before last season but based on performances I have seen he's definitely worth £5.5m. Surely he'll do even better at Arsenal!

I had Cameron in my first draft. It seems though that there are concerns over whether he'll be first choice for Stoke.........If I knew for sure he'd play I'd probably do a defensive reshuffle. He'd be great value at just 4.5m.

I think you will struggle to have 11 players play. Dawson,Collins, Wisdom, Bent all far from guaranteed. Ferdinand hasnt played every week in a fair few seasons.

martingriff

First draft of my team: Rate away

Begovic

Baines
Lovern
Shaw
Ward

Mirallas
Can
Mikel
Hazard

Diego Costa
Giroud


Myhill
Sakho
Puncheon
Dzeko

Not 2 sure on a few to be honest. How well Shaw do at Utd. How will Can do in his first season but seems to be good in the pre's. And the biggest gamble I think is Diego Costa. Did not play well in World Cup is a bit Fiery and cost a bit

Cost = 100 Million

Shorty11857

My first draft at a team for this season, still not sure on a lot of it

Yeah my bench is ub for debate, none are guaranteed a spot atm. Will fix this closer to the time but would love that starting 11 for GW1

What leads you to think Chambers will start?

Versatile cover and mertersacker might need time to recover after wc bench warming.... bruce or cameron should get alternate games if not

Neither Bruce nor Cameron are likely starters either though
