Jesus H Christ. I picked a team a couple of weeks ago and left it, only clicked into the threads I was following on this forum as to be honest too much changes at this time of the year and i'm not terribly interested in pre season. This forum is insanely busy, there's no way I can read back on the stuff I've missed. Who are the standouts who appear to be priced too low? And will FFS have a predicted teamsheets out before this weekends fixtures.
Welcome to all the new posters and welcome back to all the old timers. Bring it on!! I'll probably change my team hundreds of times between now and Saturday morning. I had Santon for Newcastle in but he's red flagged so I'll start there.

We all decided many pages ago that Lampard and Drogba are must haves

Evan's is yellow flagged for the Mancs?

There is a fairly standard template team after developing amongst forum members, if you even scroll back 2 or 3 pages on the "rate my team" thread you'll see what i mean.

De Gea/cheapo keeper or Krul/Mannone for GK
Chelsea and/or Utd Defender + 3 x £4.5/4mil defenders (with Stoke/Swansea or Newcastle/Sunderland rotating options being popular)
Spoilt for choice in midfield with all last years big hitters plus Sanchez and Fabregas being the favourites
And Rooney + Costa/Sturridge + £6mil/under option up front

unplayable

isgrove at southampton is a bolter at 4.5m

ideye brown at 6m is a good shout and i think will do well

liam moore is best 4m option guaranteed to start.

only must have is rooney i think. ive gone with hazard,mata, ramsey, barkey as big 4 in midfield.

Pretty much this.

Eriksen + Siggy popular as cheaper options in midfield.
People also looking at Giroud and Dzeko up front.

Not too many city players being picked. Yaya very expensive, plus they have tough start. In general people going with lots of Chelsea and United, with some Arsenal. And people generally choosing less Liverpool, City and Everton players.

Evans lads? Any reason he's yellow flagged?

i think he will play

davis, wanyama, jwp

tadic, pele, isgrove on sat

cork, ramirez, taider on bench

could play cork for more cover in the three and then jwp on right instead of isgrove. judging by pre season isgrove will get minutes.

Because he's injured. Not sure how bad though.

Backstreet Moyes

What's the story lads with Erikkson i was hoping he would be my gem. All reports i am reading is he has been playing wide and Lamela playing behind the striker which is putting me off him.

v3ttel

Martin Kelly (4.5) off to Palace it seems. Not sure where he'll slot?

Why are some people picking Myhill? Will Foster not be number 1 this year?

I've picked him too

i would guess that those picking Myhill have De Gea, and they don't expect to ever use the former.

I picked Myhill because I plan on playing De Gea every week.

The problem there being if/when a £4m keeper does become available, everyone using the WC will sub OUT Myhill forcing his price down by £0.1m or £0.2m. Pick an unknown non-player, I currently have Hamer.

Cantona's Collars

Just saw that Van Gaal has said Shaw,Valencia & Welbeck are injured.

But a player with a lower ownership needs less transfers out, so a few hundred random transfers could cause his price to drop.

Arnold Tanzarian

what ye thinkin about southampton players?? despite losing nearly all their team i actually think they will be pretty solid again this season and comfortably avoid the drop. I was researching their new signings earlier and think tadic could be a class act for them. unreal record before he came to southampton, they also only play 2 teams from the top 7 in their opening 12 fixtures, I have placed tadic on the bench because of this, will prob start him after the first match away to liverpool. thoughts>??

They could be decent I won't be bringing any of their players(Except Isgrove as my 4.5 mid) until I get a real idea of what they are like this year.

FutureGuy

If 10% of a player's ownership sells him, he drops 0.1m

Where did you hear that? Is that definitely right?

roryc

I haven't heard that figure before. Interesting if its correct.

Does Isgrove look like being a starter for Soton?? I'm on the lookout for a fifth midfielder in that price range. El Ahmadi seemed to be the standout option but I see that FFS don'tthink he'll start at the weekend

roryc

I have Isgrove and think he'll start. Been immense pre-season.

There's no exact figure but it is usually something like that. It can differ from season to season sometimes.

I know nothing about this but your sureness is leading me to consider following you.
