Subs, Myhill, Bruce, Ferdinand, Paulinho.

Thinking of vice between coutinho and rooney?

Paulinho - 4.5 midfielder
Shawcross - 5.0 Stoke defender
Weimann - Giroud.

Looking alot better then.

Haven't seen many pick Ashley Young, he's looked really good in pre-season and scored some good goals.

I have him in my team for the first few games at least, at £5.5m is there any other midfielders you could recommend as a possible replacement (in case I'm looking through rose tinted glasses as a United fan).

Thanks in advance
Al

dahat

De Gea

Terry Lovren Pieters

Mata hazard Ramsey Henderson

Rooney Bojan Costa

Gilks, Van Aangolt Wisdom

Jordon Mutch is the best of a bad bunch I think. Shelvey could be good if he plays.

No. There was.. eh.. a robust discussion about Young in the General FPL Chat thread.

Looks good but I wouldn't be happy playing Bojan every week. I'd swap Van Aangolt for Taylor as they rotate nicely.

jamesbondings

Good jaysis 1millionth new team!

De Gea,
Huth, Davies, Skrtyl
Hazard, Mata, Coutinho, Sanchez(C)
Giroud, Rooney(V), Naismith

Subs, Myhill, Lucas, Bruce, Ferdinand

Bojan can be swapped for Fletcher if he proves a better option.

Who does Taylor rotate well with? Not so keen on Swansea this season defensively, think Monk has a massive task on his hands.

I did toy with downgrading Bojan to Zamora then upgrading Isgrove to Siggy allowing to rotate Siggy and Hendo.

NoviGlitzko

What do ye think? So scared about Costa GW2. Happy other than that. Siggy to rotate with Lovren possibly for opening gameweeks.

Swansea and Stoke rotate nicely so you could drop Bojan for tough away games and play Taylor.

D_turbo

GK- Szczseny, Eilliot

Def- Debuchy, lovern, Zableta ( sub- Trippier)

Mid- Hazard, Eriksen, Navas, Arnatovic ( sub - Mutch)

For- Costa, Giroud, Bojan

Contemplating Taking out hazard for ramsey and Using the left over cash for a bettter striker then Bojan...even though i recon hell do well

@jenno...I had Dzeko in but with the amount of rotatiing Strikers city do its hard to know who will get more game time...i can see jovetic being strong this year

PARlance

Right, I actually don't know how I feel about this team at this stage.
My wildcard will be used early (will prob do it for the international break... Holding onto it longer is something I struggle... Oh look there's a bird) so I've favoured some picks that may not be season keepers, more of a short term view as a result.
If by some means, I hold onto the WC, I think a few transfers can get me out of trouble.
Silva is causing a headache, the "short term" approach as mentioned above should see me putting Eriksen in there but for some reason I'm struggling to make that move.
Subs are poor but will be trying to ensure 2/3 at least are solid starters.
Evans may be switched to Smalling after Fridays press conference.

Krul
Evans - Chambers - Terry
Mata - Silva - Fabregas - Ramsey
Costa - Rooney - Trojan

Subs: 4M Keeper, 4.5M MF, 2*4M DF

NoviGlitzko

Here's an idea; since not many team's are getting reviewed why don't we review the person in who last posted, and so on? You can do more than one of course, just gives everyones team some insight. Make it a decent one too. Not something like 'solid '.

What ye think? Start with PARlance?

jamesbondings

sounds good Novi,

I dont like Costa as posted before (lazy runner) and as chelsea like to sit back and counter i cant see him doing too well. (IMHO)
I would switch him for sanchez or giroud both creative and attacking players.

Because your worried about your transfers, Uniteds starting run looks quite tasty to allow for De Gea and their defence to do well. (8 games avoiding the bigger teams)

My own personal views of course take it as you will! Realistically who knows haha

jenno86

start with me! please?! :pac:

jamesbondings

post your team for use to destroy haahahaha
thats just it though none of us know its all guess, educated or otherwise

kronsington

The sooner the season starts the better as I have once again tinkered with my team... Now I've gone for more of a balance throughout the team wheras before I had more power in the middle and upfront. And I'm still not sure if its the best side. Not doubt it'll be Changed again. Might also have too many new signings.

De Gea
Debuchy Mangala Luis Lovren
Mata Ramsey Fabregas
Rooney Costa Bojan

Myhill, Bruce, Albrighton, Siggurdson

Ned Walsh

Ditch Mangala, won't play many games early on. Lovren too although I could see Rodgers going Lovren-Sakho. Pretty strong other than that

Too much tied up in defence imo, your midfield is very weak as a result. Downgrade Jagielka and Jones and get some midfielders in.

Sterling is expensive, played very well pre-season but for that money you can have Mata, Fabregas or Silva. Better players if you ask me.

If Dzeko won't play first game you are in trouble.

Now you can tear my team apart guys. I think I am ready (except minor changes in defence maybe). 100m spent so no room for corrections after GW1.

Focusing on the starting XI with a fairly weak bench? A tactic that hasn't really worked for me in the past partly down to my own indecision but also just because you're focusing on the big names. On paper you midield is a cracker although I would have a my doubts about Fabregas. I haven't been keeping an eye on their preseason, know he got a good goal this week but wouldn't be sure about him starting consistently. If it were me I'd drop one of those big names and strengthen the defence/bench. Don't know what to say about Bojan as I don't know much about him. I'm sure someone else will be able to give better advice.

A little tip, make Wanyama your first sub. The game doesn't let you play less than 3 defenders so if one your starting defenders doesn't start it will automatically sub in a defender. With your setup though a defender will be subbed in for all positions.

Also the only player I know from the promoted teams is Wes Morgan for Leicester and he was a top class defender in for Forest in Fifa 08

My team:

Begovic
Coleman Vlaar Baines
Ramsey Mata Nolan Johnson
Bony Rooney(c) Remy

Subs: Myhill, Puncheon, Dunne, Morgan

jamesbondings

Could someone inform me of exactly how the subs work? I assume if for any reason one player doesn't start the first sub starts in his place? I just don'tget it? does anything happen if one of your team is subbed?

If one of your starting players doesn't play your first sub will be put on in his place and his points will be added on. If he doesn't play then your second sub will be put in and so on. Similarly if somehow 2 of your players don't play your first subs will be put on. If a player plays and somehow manages to get 0 pts or minus pts he aint subbed.

So sub order and having a decent bench is kind of important and so you should aways have attacking players top of your sub list. As I mentioned earlier you're only allowed play a minimum of three defenders; so if you look at my team if Coleman doesn't play Dunne will be subbed in for him even though Nolan is my first sub. The reason I have Nolan as my first sub is because if Rooney doesn't play I don't want Dunne coming on for him instead of Nolan.

So an amazing first XI with an mediocre bench can be risky depending on how much you actually follow the game.

jamesbondings

Someone sticky that post...... Thank you makes perfect sense now! I hope to be following it all the time but a yearis a long time haha

jamesbondings

I like the look of your team by the way. I'm not sure why but when looking at Baines I just couldn't justify the price. Ihope it ddoesn't come back to bite me. If you were to go with someone a little cheaper you could strengthen the bench too. Spanner in the works as I genuinely like the look of that team minus Baines (what was he 7.5?)

Yeh, he was 7 at least. I'm still not sure about it myself, I originally had Koschielny but he was a doubt, I may yet transfer him in after a few weeks. I always find it easy enough to pick a defence so I'm not too worried about having to move it around, I'm happy enough to splash out on Baines and Coleman knowing I can spread the rest around some solid defenders who will at least start (Dunne will start won't he? Isn't he captain?). I am worried that if I drop Baines I'll be tempted to fiddle with my midfield.

extra gravy

To whoever had Koscielny a few pages back...he's a doubt for the weekend so maybe keep an eye out for Wenger's presser on Friday for any news.

Begovic and Myhill work well

Baines is very expensive, 2 Everton defenders? I'd drop Baines, get some money into your midfield. Debuchy at 5.5 is pretty decent.

Why all the love for Rooney? I thought he's going to be playing further back up the pitch? Rambo is a must have again imo. I'd also start Puncheon ahead of Johnson if you're not selling Baines
