    3-5-2 formation. Schmeichal, Coleman, Janmatt, Koscielny, Walcott, Bolasie, Puncheon, Hazard, Coutinho, Benteke, Lukaku (c)

    Subs. Butland, Clyne, Wisdom, and Rickie Lambert.

    Is that a typo ? 2 CP Midfielders ?

    A bit LIVERPOOL heavy there imo, the team, former players and their city neighbours.

    Better value, with better fixture than Coleman out their.
    Same with Coutinho.
    If you're paying 5.5 for Clyne I would start him.
    Wisdom doesn't look a definite starter and I think Lambert is for the glue factory.


    Love the gamble on Lukaku though :D

    No, i picked them, 10 goals 19 assists between them last season, and with norwich 1st, just taught they could have a good day, still got .5 to play with, so could drop Bolasie if needed, especially if Deulofeu or Miralles are fit for everton

    Yeah fixtures aren't great, i picked Lambert cos he is cheap but i also think he will get goals for west brom, Wisdom is there to make up the numbers.

    Actually as a liverpool fan, i never realised the liverpool link to my team, i was looking at the opening day fixtures and hoping to get a lead in my leagues heading into week 2.

    I'm going with a 3-4-3 formation:
    Cech
    Clyne, Koscielny, Coleman
    Cazorla (c), Hazard, Depay, Larsson
    Naismith, Rooney (v), Kane

    Bench:
    Hennessey
    Steven Taylor,Baker
    Wanyama

    Interesting how strong you've gone at the back, your GK and 3 defenders should pick themselves every week. Personally though, I'd downgrade one of the 3 big defenders to a Stoke 4.5m defender (seemingly Muniesa should start for them) as they rotate pretty well with Leicester, and invest the saving in either Sinclair or Defoe. You've 3m in the bank but just getting in Aguero will wipe that out pretty sharpish.

    Only reason i have Ivan is cause he starts most season strong, if i say downgrade him to a stoke player like you said, it frees up another 2.5m, so i have the money to invest then if someone else is performing well. At the moment i just down see anyone that is a must have.

    Fab/Hazard - there are hundreds of teams on here and a lot have chosen fab over hazard - time will tell which is better. Sinclair i think is value at his price tag and so is why i have him - got a hayrick in pre season all be it against weaker opposition, but show's he's on form.

    Defoe - is just a cheap option - but they have nice opening fixtures so i can upgrade him if there is a stand out striker. Not overly convinced on Rooney, however I feel i should have some untied attacking coverage, and if he plays up top he should do well this season.

    Be aware that Targett may only get a game or two in the PL with Bertrand recovering well.

    I have in mind a possible couple of early price rises for him if he plays the first few gameweeks before switching him out for whoever emerges as a longer-term playing 4.0m defender.

    There is a risk that he very quickly loses value if/when Bertrand comes back though.

    Will Baker start any games or is he just there to make up the numbers?

    It's a marathon, not a sprint! You need to look beyond GW1

    Oh I know yeah, but i won one of my leagues last season and had a 35 point lead after week 1 didnt look back, so im hoping for the same again, plus week 2 fixtures are not bad either with a transfer and changes, week 3 is tricky though.

    Just had a quick tinker, sorry I can't do screenshots, no way this is a final but have a look if ye will

    Butland
    Ruddy

    Caulker
    Huth
    Ivan
    PVA
    Francis

    Walcott
    Richie
    Hazard
    Sterling
    Bentaleb

    Rooney
    Benteke
    Defoe

    No money left over with that.

    I see Targett, Saylor, Baker & Mariappa in a fair few teams, but I don't think any of them will get many minutes.

    Is it just a case of people writing off the 0.5 and hoping you never need the third sub?

    I don't think anyone picking them expects them to start but Saylor could possibly see some game time and Targett looks like he may well get minutes until Bertrand is back so he is a bit of a short term fix that allows for people to see if a 4m can muscle their way into a starting 11 somewhere.

    You really love Defoe don't you :P. I'd rather have Deeney or Ighalo at that price point.

    The latter. I won't need Saylor to start for me, and I think he's currently the most likely to see some minutes. I don't believe in having a strong bench in favour of spending money elsewhere

    Last year I was in the top 5000 up to Christmas (3 months abroad in from GW 18 ruined any run I was on).

    I am considering putting in Cedric (Shampton) instead of Shaw = bank 0.5m
    But SHT are in UEFA this year and as an Everton fan I saw last year what happens when 'small' clubs are dragged around Europe mid week.

    I am considering swapping Walcott with Ozil. = bank 0.5m but I've also read a good article on Wegner palying him as his #10 this year.

    Up front I'd like to make room for Rooney - not easy without taking out Lakaku (who I'm considering putting Benteke in for).

    My team has no Aguero, Sanchez, Hazard - Considering GW #4 wildcard to get them in? Risky due to price rises.

    Be as critical as you can be!!!

    Bump- please

    Ok lads, lay it on me and lay it on thick, no holds barred! If anyone has any nuggets of gold for me It'd be appreciated.

    Risks: Costa's hamstring (not insquad last sunday), Giroud's gametime (didn't start), Anya not nailed, Saylor not nailed and difficult fixtures to start, Villa may not be good at the back. The first two are the most important - I'd take one of these risks but not both. Rooney or Kane would be safe alternatives.
    Otherwise solid.

    Latest draft. Don't know if I'm improving things or making it worse though :o

    2mH7q0V.png

    GK: Southampton have decent fixtures for the first few weeks and apart from Cedric he's the cheapest way in.

    Defs: Bellerin and Azpi speak for themselves. Huth should be good value and maybe pop up with a goal or two. Not sure on Coates, may switch to Francis yet. Taylor is there to make up the numbers.

    Mids: Hazard is Hazard. Walcott is a risk but one worth taking I feel. Sterling over Silva I'm still not sure about but have a feeling he will do well. Mahrez has been great in pre-season and hopefully should have nailed down his place for Leicester's decent opening fixtures. Ritchie is my main punt.

    Forwards: Rooney could be gold now that he'll be back in his best position. Benteke could continue on from where he left off last season. May bench him for some of Pool's tricky away games though. Sakho is there for West Ham's favourable fixtures and will rotate with Ritchie/Mahrez.

    wow that's very similar to what I'm considering especially the mahrez Ritchie sahko rotation
    gkad to know I'm not daft !
    I'm leaning toward man's over sterling though allowing an extra million at the back
    so yes I like your team :)

    Cheers :) Not convinced by Mane yet, just find him inconsistent. Sterling could excel in that City team though and I'd like some cover from them even if they do have a tricky start. Generally not a fan of rotating mids and forwards but think it might be a good strategy to start off with this season. Hopefully Mahrez or Ritchie will turn out to be this season's Siggy!

    How about this guys:


    0b27257a8f4b8a3d6e835c81526d6b28.png


    Will play 3 4 3 most weeks.

    Will probably wild card to bring in Aguero in GW4 so only really looking at three weeks at the moment

    Goalie: DDG - will probably stick with him for the year. Dulow just a filler but should not lose value as has little ownership. No 4m playing goalie around.

    Defence: Azil and Mert nothing to say. Kaboul (may well take John O'Sheas place) and Huth have four home games between them out of their 1st six. Reece West Ham, he is meant to be a great young player. May get a game here and there. Should not lose much value as low ownership. Might swap for Targett or Staylor though who might get some game time in the first three weeks and might go up in price.

    Mid: Hazard, no comment. Depay could be good. Ramsey could be good but I am a bit worried that Cazola could be better coz he takes the penos. Fletcher will play every week and pick up a steady flow of points. Mahrez is a gamble but I don't know who else to go for for the 1st three game weeks. I know a lot have gone for Henderson, but I don't think Liverpool's first three games are that easy. Didn't they get thrashed 6-0 at stoke just a few weeks ago.

    Forwards: Kane and Rooney no comment. Will transfer Wilson out next week for Sakho (west Ham)

    of all the top keepers De gea is by far the riskiest pick
    may be sold
    may even be left on the bench if some are to be believed
    maybe you shud go for cech and then a united defender
    at least if the defender is rested you have back up
    also apparently Coates is more likely to play all the time than kaboul
    have you money in the bank ?

    Nice balance to your team in terms of where funds have been spent, but I wouldn't go with both Walcott AND Giroud. One or other of them will probably lose out in terms of gametime over the first few gameweeks, most likely Giroud short-term.

    Any money in the bank? I think you will have problems having to play 2 of Mahrez, Fletcher and Wilson each week.

    De Gea is a transfer waiting to happen as he looks to be off to Madrid.

    Personally I'd go for a City or Liverpool mid ahead of Depay. You have Rooney so might be worth spreading your attacking options about.

    Good point about DDG being sold.

    Coates interesting. Kaboel did play against Hamburg last weekend.I think O'shea cam on in the 65th minute but I can't remember who for - wasn't Kaboul though.

    Sorry, I dont undertsand what you mean 'at least if the defender is rested you have back up'?

    Oh yeah, 2m in the bank.

    Can't help looking at that front 7 without thinking there's too much uncertainty about 4/5 of them. Mahrez - is a gamble as you say.
    Depay - might be awesome but hasn't shown if he can perform in the premier league yet.
    Ramsey - didn't replicate his 13/14 form after coming back into the team last term, but may do well.
    Wilson - new to Premier League.
    Kane - difficult to have another season like last one.

    2/3 of them may get into my team yet, but I think that many questions would be too many for me.

    Cash in the bank?
