Here's my first draft. I expect a lot of changes before the season starts as usual.
Courtois - Expect a lot of clean sheets with a solid back 4 playing in front of him.
Schmeichel - Looking for a sub keeper who will play every week. Was half thinking of Krul but don't want to double up on Newcastle defensively.
Mertesacker - Arsenal cover for defense. With Cech in there I hope for a few more clean sheets than usual
Steven Taylor - As mentioned before McLaren is a fan of his. The only half decent 4.0m defender I can see starting as long as he stays fit.
Ward - Cheap for what you get. Pardew had them playing well the end of last season and he pops up with the odd goal.
Lescott - I think Pulis will have West Brom well drilled in defense this year. Also hoping he can get some of his set piece goal prowess back as Tony Pulis will be looking to get goals from set pieces as always.
Williams - Solid defender and Swansea played some good football last season. Hoping they kick on and do well this year.
Mata - Was torn between Depay/DiMaria/Mata but have gone for Mata on last years end of season form
Hazard - A must have
Walcott - I'm hoping Wenger will give him a chance up front. This may change if they sign a top striker but if not I think he could be a goal machine if played through the middle.
Ki Sung-Yeung - Done well for Swansea last year and got a few goals from midfield
Wanyama - I think he will play every week now Schneiderlin is gone and can pop up with the odd goal. Cheap squad filler
Aguero - Have him in at the moment but could change before GW1 if it looks like he won't play
Berahino - Will be West Brom's main goal threat this year and if he does as well as last year he is great value
Falcao - Very risky and may not last but I think if he plays in that Chelsea team he will score a shed load of goals. Never got any service last year at United and I think he could still prove to be a world class player for Chelsea with the players he has behind him.
Appreciate any feedback

There is too much money spent on your goalkeepers. You need to downgrade one of them. If you plan on rotating, downgrade courtois, and if you plan on sticking with one keeper, downgrade schmeichel. Courteous is too expensive to have on the bench.Here's my first draft. I expect a lot of changes before the season starts as usual.

Defence looks pretty good, although a 4.5m Sunderland defender may be a good idea with their fixtures, maybe in place of Williams, who has horrible fixtures.
Midfield and forwards may lead to problems. Mata is a bit risky and not guaranteed to start, along with Walcott. Ki has awful fixtures, and wanyama simply doesn't get points. Hazard is a must have, particularly with his high ownership.
Your front 3 needs to dramatically change. As it stands, 0 of them may play in gw1, as aguero will most likely be rested, berahino is injured and Falcao looks set to warm Chelsea's bench. He is simply to expensive to risk.0 -

Obviously, this wouldn't be practical, but someone on FFS picked a squad using only Belgians!
Courtois Mignolet
Aldeweireld De Laet Pocognoli Kompany Vertongen
Mirallas Januzaj Hazard Chadli Fellani
Lukaku Benteke Origi
Mind you, swap Vertongen and Januzaj for Denayer and Dembelé ... 0 -

First draft of the new season:
I'm happy with my front 7 but not at the cost of my defence. I don't think I'll feel comfortable going into the season with that defensive combination. Possible changes ahead:- Kane to Giroud, to free up 0.5 and upgrade Targett to a 4.5
- Alternatively, wait until Hennessy's move to WBA goes through and get him in for Myhill (or do both changes, and upgrade a 4.5 to a 5.0)
- Benteke to Sakho, which would allow me to bring in a big name defender. I'm less inclined towards this possibility, because I just don't feel the Sakho love.
Any critiques welcome. I'm desperate at looking at rotation, find I don't have the patience to study the permutations, so there might be some flaw in that regard that I'm not seeing.0 -

1st draft for me. Any opinions?
Butland Rudd
Clyne Azpiliceuta Shaw O'Shea Yoshida
Depay Walcott Hazard Cabaye Wanyama
Kane Costa Rantie
Welcome to the FSA!
Keepers: relying on Stoke alone is a bit risky
Defenders: Clyne has a difficult start, and that's more money in defence than most would be comfortable with. It shows further forward. Sunderland have a reasonable start so you could downgrade Clyne and go with O'Shea
Midfield: you have the same four biggies as me, so have great taste
You probably know Walcott and Depay are not 100% guaranteed to start
Forwards: you'll be playing either Rantie or Wanyama every week. This is where you need to upgrade using the money saved in defence e.g. Deeney at 5.50 -

Draft 2 of many:
Have Alderweireld given Spurs nice opening fixtures. Can eventually swap him with Sakho later on.
I think Chelsea defensive cover is needed and you can't go wrong with Azpi at 6m.
Mata and Ramsey are great FPL players. If needs be can swap them for other 8.5m players such as Yaya, Depay, Di Maria, Ozil, Carzola etc.
Bolasie the best 6.5m mid I can see. Might bring in Chadli if he starts, for GW2 onwards.
Given Norwichs nice opening fixtures I have Jermoe there. Villa also have nice fixtures so can always bring in Agbonlahor at some stage.
I have 1m in the bank, so if needs be can free up another 1m to bring in Aguero.
A lot of potential transfers/changes to this squad in my head already but as it stands I'm still happy enough with it.
Opinions very much welcome!

Thoughts? This is refinement #6!!
The only part I'm not that content with is the GK selections. I see Myhill playing until Foster gets back from injury but after that? I guess a lot depends on whether Butland gets the #1 nod from Hughes at Stoke. If he does I might switch to him. I'd prefer to have 0.5m ITB to put another 4.5m GK in but I don't really want to mess with either my MF's or FW's. Can anyone suggest a 0.5m saving in the defence?

Hughes confirmed the other day that butland will start the season as #10 -

Looks pretty solid to me. Taylor mightn't get a game but you might not care much. I wouldn't like to rely on Jerome much -- he's never done much in the top tier. But otherwise, looks good.0 -
