Any word on Coleman & Kompany to start?

Does it make any sense to go with Sterling over Lamela for a one week punt??

Yes. Soton could be walloped.

Good Luck all.

I told myself I wouldnt change my team this morning but with that Hazard news I switched him to Fabregas and went with Siggy to Henderson just as want to have some Liverpool coverage for the first game. Hopefully I'll be able to use my free transfer to bring back in Siggy for Henderson. Not sure this is a good idea really!

De Gea
Debuchy Pieters Terry (Hutton and Taylor)
Fabregas Mata Ramsey Henderson (Albrighton)
Costa Rooney Bojan

Really caught in two minds over Hazard-Fabregas now. Last minute panic as I'm worried Hazard will only play 65-70. :pac:

I might just go Hazard -> Fabregas and keep the extra £1m in the bank in order to upgrade next week.

Thoughts?

Mr.Prodston

Today's the day, and we're approaching the final countdown before our long, exciting, drama packed quest together begins

Best of luck everyone. Now to just nail down the last few spots. It's the final countdown....

....the Final Countdown!!!

SpaceCowb0y

Finally all the stress over squad selections is just about over... well at least until we all wildcard ha.

Going with:

De gea
Terry, Chambers, Van Aanholt
Fab, Mata, Ramsey, Sigurdsson
Rooney, Costa, Jovetic

He's in now for Lamela. Selling him after this week I'd say

Giroud not certain of a start. Not by a long way.

Where are you seeing that?

Anybody going with 2 Arsenal mids for the first GW? Thinking about it and transfer next week!

All over the place. Wenger has said Giroud is far from fully fit. He didn't start Community Shield. TotalFPL predicting Sanogo to start

CSF

Sticking with Hazard, who would they play instead?

fck, saw on twitter that looks to be starting.

Is there a reason why no one is picking Tim Howard for goal? Would have thought against Leicester he'd be a good pick but worried that no one else has him, am I missing something obvious?

He could well start. I had him in my team until last night. I'm just not taking the risk though.

They have Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool in first six weeks

Locked in, I swapped Hazard for Fab, and Lovren to Azpil. Half a mill in the bank. Any glaring problem?

Good luck all

Major problem I see there is McCarthy. Not a good player for points, hardly ever scores and rarely gets an assist. Looking at 2 or at best 3 points from him.

Ah, thanks. I'm always a bit too focused on the short term for my own good. Rethink in order

Dr. Bre

all my mates have Lovren. big bandwagon going on with him

After playing for seven years i have one rule. Never buy pool defenders.

They are always overpriced and pool win without keeping clean sheets

Necronomicon

Right, I can't promise it's final but here's how I line up for GW1. I'm getting cold feet about Bojan and the lack of Diego Costa in the event that he's a sensation, so I might tinker more yet before 11:30.

He is owned by 27 % people so plenty are picking him

Amazing, goes to show we clearly have our own microclimate here on FSA:pac:

I've left my team alone for the last 24 hours or so. Worried now that any changes will end up being regrets. My main concerns are my bench today, I'm not that familiar with Rodwell, hope to see him getting into the opposition box.
Hoping Wisdom starts and impresses as he's a player I might want to use from time to time and I hate having a non playing filler as the temptation to get rid usually results in a 4 point hit.

Arnie is my differential.

15 mins to go and I'm thinking of throwing Siggy and Bojan out the door.

finnharpsboy

See above, me too. At the moment I have Jovetic or Dzeko in for Bojan and trying to see if I can do it without weakening the defence too much.
