Anyone care to give an opinion on this and help me to be finally done with it??

Opinions on:
(current team)
De Gea
Terry
Pieters
Van Aanholt
Fabregas--Ramsey--Mata--Sigurdsson
----Sturridge---Rooney---Fletcher----
Subs: Gilks(gk), King, Moore, Taylor
Vs
(possible team)
Mannone
----Terry
Jones
Wilson----
Fabregas---Ramsey---Mata---Sterling
Costa---Rooney---Fletcher
Subs: Krul(GK), King, Moore, Bruce
The thinking being that it allows me to bring Costa in who has a really nice run of games to begin with and bump Sigurdsson up to Sterling to still give me solid Liverpool attacking cover, i see Liverpool continuing to score lots of goals and Sterling having a great season being more involved in Liverpool's attacking chances with Suarez gone.
Defence takes a bit of a knock to allow the move as i had to free up £.5mil for the move but i don't think it's suffered too badly. Jones can easily be swapped for Evans when fit again if needs be etc. Bit of a question mark over Wilson for Stoke starting but FFS seem to think he will and at £4.5mil you cant ask for better really with Stokes opening fixtures if he does.
Maybe i should just step away from the laptop and leave my team alone, like i said i'm quite happy with my current selection it's just that £1mil it leaves me with annoying me!0 -
Haven't posted a draft team in a week or so, been absorbing information and ideas around here and tinkering daily.
Here goes, my front 8 are pretty final, my defence probably is, unless there is new information.
Goalie - obviously some slight nerves till Jose announces his team on Monday night, but I know in my heart it will be Courtois. Much more than I'd care to bank on a 6m Chelsea defender. May be my first major blunder of the season but worth it longer term to get nailed on Chelsea defensive cover for 6m
Main defenders: plan was to have Man U and Newcastle from GW2 as mainstay, with three rotating for the last spot. However I'm going monitor the United defence for a while and go with Chambers who will be replaced by Evans probably for GW3 assuming they look the part. You never know, Stoke or someone could be a better bet that United by then though.
Rotating defenders. Two 4.0s and a 4.5 is my budget strategy. Thanks to the FPL Wizard app I know my selection of Hutton, Van Aanholt and Moore gives me this rotation till GW10... wba,NEW, HULL, stoke, burnley, SWA, BURNLEY, soton, qpr, WBA (home matches in caps) which I can live with. I'd have preferred Hull instead of Villa but worried about having Bruce given the uncertainty over Hulls formation without Long and his high ownership and liability to drop in value. If there was any clue on Bruce being nailed on I'd swap back, as there is a better rotation there. The other downside of not having Bruce is probably having to go with Moore home to Everton in GW1 as Collocini has Man City.
Midfield. Lamella is my favoured differential for the 8m midfield slot, but going to start off with Coutinho in case Pool go to town on Saints. Rodgers' quotes about his role mean hopefully if they run amok he'll be involved. Will give me a chance to monitor Lamela and Eriksen. The rest of the midfield speaks for itself I think. Going to stick with Albrighton as best cheapie as won't be needing him till he's back fit hopefully.
Forwards. The obvious two, plus Fletcher. Yes Fletcher, having been one of the first to suggest Bojan I'm gonna keep a close eye on him but think Fletch is the best option at the moment for this price.
The holding off on the United defence means I also have he flexibility of 1m in the bank, which I'm keeping, rather than upgrading one of the 4m defenders as I'd then need two transfers to get a United defender if I want to. I'm trying no to set the team up in such a way that I am making it certain I'll have to play my wildcard early, but will play it if I have to.
Thats all that off my chest, comments and/or ridicule welcome.....0 -

I a actually prefer the first team but with Costa in for Studge. The money in the bank is no harm, cause as Lemlin says above it's the transfers you make after GW1 which make or break you and flexibility there is useful.0 -

@FHFC: No Ramsey? :eek:
The draft I have now somehow has both Ramsey and Sanchez. Not sure how it happened and how long it'll remain :pac:
I should really be more worried about the impending due date for my thesis
Time for bed as we're in for a turbulent few days.0 -

Thesis should be a piece of piss compared to this ****.
I wrote a thesis on the midfielder thread as to why I'm favouring Sanchez, but I may be making that transfer by Saturday evening!!0 -
Well here's my starting team pending any news updates on Friday:
GK: I was originally on rotating goalkeepers (SUN/NEW) but when it dawned on me that for the first few weeks I'd almost always want to play my away goalkeeper instead of the home goalkeeper and Evans got injured it changed my ploy. De Gea will start every week and United have insanely kind fixtures for the first number of weeks. Barring an injury or suspension, I don't think this selection will pose any worries.
DF: Terry has had no World Cup, is fresh and flying in pre-season and should start at CB alongside Cahill. His goal potential from set pieces gives him the nod for me. I had £5.5m to spend on my 2nd main defender and was struggling to decide. I eventually went for Debuchy who has a nice first fixture and the price gives me scope to chop and change a bit of needed. I think he will get some decent attacking returns (he had 1 goal and 4 assists along with 9 clean sheets in just under 30 games last year) and Arsenal were a very solid side who should chip in with plenty of clean sheets. I want the excellent STO/SWA home rotation as my 3rd defender every week and while I'm admittedly not too enthused paying £5m on a Stoke defender, I feel this rotation will prove to be worth it. Aside from Shawcross, Bardsley looks most likely to start the season in the Stoke back four. I don't rate him as a player at all but do admit that he has potential to chip in with a few goals. A perfect example of picking with head and not heart for FPL.
MF: This speaks for itself I think with the pick of Sigurdsson on the presumption that he will be playing off the main striker.
ST: I was originally on Sturridge, but I've backed out and decided on Costa. Chelsea have some very nice games over the first few weeks. Fletcher should play as the main ST for Sunderland and will score between 8-12 as he usually does, if he's fit and playing. No other £6m striker or less has a proven track record like Fletcher does spanning across 3 different teams at this level.
Bench: One of Taylor/Bardsley, Albrighton should be up there in the £4.5m category and Wisdom will start the first couple of weeks at least for West Brom. By then, options in the cheap categories will be a lot clearer and should be attainable ahead of price rises.
Worries:
- No Manchester City or Liverpool involvement despite their gluttony of goals last year
- Heavily dependent on Manchester City and Chelsea. If one or both of them have an off day it would badly impact on my score in any given gameweek. With their fixtures I'd rather be with them than against them I suppose and all players selected I'm confident should be at the higher end of points scorers.
- Wouldn't want to be depending on the bench to bail me out more (though it will change as the semi-decent cheaper options reveal themselves)
So, what say you? After 10's of drafts I finally think I'm almost there!

Looks very good to me, I thought about Fletcher too but have gone for Jovetic for the moment, might swap to him is he starts well.0 -

Solid team. Of your starting 11, I have seven and you have Bardsley to my Pieters and Hazard to my Fab.
The main differences are my Sturridge to your Costa and I don't have Debuchy. I've gone with Coloccini/O'Shea to rotate instead.
As a Sunderland supporter, do you think would van Aaholt be a better pick than Johnny?0 -
