    Do I go

    de gea, Ramsey, Fabregas

    Or

    Begovic, Sterling, hazard.


    Thoughts people?


    1 for me I think (which is strange because I've only 1 of them in my team, but 2 of the others).

    looking at

    caulk bruce kos skrtel n.taylor
    yaya sterling rambo young el ahmadi
    costa bojan rooney
    ddg+myhill


    not liking not having a chelsea def so may do swap skrt for azpic gw2

    having yaya weakens my team a little but struggling to be without him after
    last season
    suprised more havent gone for skrtel given the amount of goals he got
    last season
    have to have kos given how many baps he gets when he plays even if
    there is a slight doubt about him playing
    nothing in the bank which might crucify me if the likes of sanchez has
    to come on boards or siggy possibly for the likes of young
    dropping yaya might be the only way then
    not the best way to play the game possibly

    my third and hopefully final draft:

    Starting Line up:

    De Gea (5.5m)

    Gibbs (5.5m), Clichy (5.5m), Manquillo (5.0m)

    Fábregas (9.0m), Mata (9.0m), Silva (9.0m), Ramsey (9.0m)

    Rooney (10.5m), Bojan (5.5m), Giroud (8.5m)

    Subs: Bertrand(5.0), Bruce (4.0m), Wanyama (4.5m)

    Rooney captain with Giroud as vice captain.

    Any thoughts?

    I'd go with Ramsey given that

    i) Arsenal are at home while City are away. Sides usually have a better record at home than away.
    ii) I think Crystal Place could fold a lot easier and give away a bucket load than Newcastle (Again this is just my belief).
    iii) looking at the first 5 fixtures Arsenal for me have some nicer games (i.e. Leicester week 2) i.e. in the first 5 Man City play Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea
    iv) that said I think both will do well which is why I've both in my side.

    rambo surely
    not having him home to palace could leave you chasing the pack straight away

    G: Begovic
    D: chambers caulker terry
    M: lamela young Ramsey fabregas
    F: Jovetic Costa Rooney

    Subs: Henderson Bruce van aanholt myhill

    Think I'm pretty happy with it. I'm on Jovetic as he should play for the first 3 weeks and will look to impress highly to stop him rotting on the bench this season. Henderson is a great sub to have


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 909 ✭✭✭auldgranny


    Szczesny

    Lovren Clichy Cahill Vlaar

    Yaya Sterling Ramsey

    Wickham Giroud Costa


    (Myhill Potts Puncheon Westwood)


    Any thoughts?

    I like that team. Still not sold on Begovic, but Stoke at home Vs. Villa, should be alright.

    Not 100% happy with my team, but I've been so busy this week, I haven't had proper time to research it at all.

    Mannone
    Debuchy Lovren Terry
    Mata Silva Sanchez Ramsey (C)
    Crouch Rooney Naismith

    Bench: Fabianski, Sidwell, Vlaar, Bruce

    Most unhappy with Naismith, but can't see a better striker for 5m

    Very weak bench. Decent first 11 though.

    There's a very good chance Crouch won't start mate. If I were you I'd downgrade a defender (you have three premium options there). Sidwell (he may not start )to as £5.5m is too much to spend on a bench player.

    I'd personally go:

    Fabianksi -> Krul (gives h/a rotation between your two keepers)
    Premium defender -> £4.5m or £5m option
    Sidwell -> £4.5m option

    There's Arsenal overkill there too with Sanchez/Ramsey IMO so you could get another one of the premium midfielders in for one of those if you wished - e.g. Fabregas.

    That gives you enough money (£2m or £2.5m) to improve massively upon your strikeforce.

    Would you go with the 4 defenders then or play puncheon or westwood and 3 def

    i'm not so sure, Costa is going to be booked a lot as he likes to play rough, Lamela is being used at the front of a midfield attacking formation with Eriksen out on the right so he should have abetter chance of scoring. worried about dezko though, his place could be vunreable with Jovetic back in the fold and when/if Sergio ever stays fit.

    but then again chelsea have a good run of fixtures over the first 6 games.

    so overall i don't know.

    probably go with costa - and however many bookings he picks up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,133 ✭✭✭Stevecw


    Final effort (I think) Got Henderson in for Coutinho which gave me 2m extra so improved defence a bit.

    Who is this Bojan? Seen him on a few teams.
    Would I be better to play him than Wickham?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 565 ✭✭✭WillyWonka


    My team.

    Thoughts???

    No it isn't actually.

    Krul/Mannone and Wilson with 1.5 in the bank or Krul/Begovic and Caulker with .5?

    Hazard isnt fit, put in fabregas

    Bruce isnt worth a spot and will drop in price. Put in wisdom if you want a cheapie.

    Elmohandi I would downgrade and use the money elsewhere, probably to change young to arnie or siggy

    Gone with this bunch. Not happy with the backup GK, but reasonably okay with everything else. I'll try get a better GK when my team rises in value or a good cheap option becomes available elsewhere. Any thoughts?

    Is it worth going Jelavic > Fletcher and Gilks > 4.5m keeper?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,268 ✭✭✭IsMiseMyself


    Taken a punt on Hendo over Siggy this week. That's me done so. Let the games begin! :pac:
