2016/17 FPL Rate My Team Thread

Backstreet Moyes

Any Advice

Mandana/Mannone

Baines/Shaw/Gabrial/Bryam/Evans

Martial/Ayew/Defeleou/Tadic/Shaqiri

Aguero/Lukaku/Gray

Keepers

I plan on rotating both keepers Mandana is supposed to be a save magnet and Sunderland should be solid under Moyes.


Defenders

Baines Shaw and Gabrial should all start for top sides, West Brom should be solid and Bryam is a risk but could start the season as West Ham's left back.

Midfield

Martial and Ayew i fancy to score 10+ goals. Defeleuo i heard rumours he could start games up front. Tadic is an assist machine and on set pieces and Shaqiri I expect to have a big season.

Strikers

Aguero is a cert, Gray i think is worth a punt and Lukaku I am not sure about i am thinking of switching him with Chelsea's new striker.

budgie412

Second draft, dg midfield to bring in aguero, though worry about his fitness I suppose leaves the option to dg to anybody when he inevitably gets injured, thoughts?

right my first and nearly final draft bar switching out a few mids and maybe defenders in same price range
this is a team for game weeks 1-3 ONLY I will be wildcarding after that due to the incredible amount of uncertainty this year
game week 2 has me worried though as I'll have both VVD and redmond away to united which is far from ideal
I do have .5 kept back in case redmond needs to go and I could bring in Gerard D
I've left hazard too but mahrez could also become him with that .5
I have also looked at tadic and Townsend instead of siggy and redmond BUT palace are away to spurs GW2 while Swansea are home to hull
I'm not buying into the lamela hype either. he did the same last year in preseason

Foster /Jaku
Shaw VvD Friend Kone Wilson
Mahrez Alli siggy Redmond Capoue
Kun Zlatan Gray

what ye think ?

Anyone ?
Anyway I'm getting nervous about VVD . 5.5 ml I want to play him for the 3 week BUT they have united second and I'll also have Redmond. I like the other 2 fixtures and his goal threat but the manager is new and not sure fonte will be back for gw1
I May go back to Terry yet
The second guessing of myself had begun

SlickRic

Heaton Foster
Koné Shaw Stones Smith Friend
Hazard Mahrez Siggy Tadic Capoué
Aguero Gray Rooney

West Brom/Burnley rotation is too good to ignore.

Shaw is a must have IMO.
It's Stones/Siggy or Terry/Lamela. I've gone for the former for now but that could change.
Koné and Friend can fight it out for the 3rd spot with Smith as fodder.

Hazard will flourish I reckon.
Mahrez has Hull.
Siggy has Burnley, then Hull. Plus, I just have a soft spot for him.
Tadic could be gold. He's playing the tip of a diamond and is on pens. Could be lethal.
Capoué seems the best of a bad lot in the 4.5 range.

No explanation for Aguero needed.
I love the look of Gray. Perfect for that price of 6.5.
Rooney is a slight punt.

Any opinions?

I'm concerned with just one big priced mid.
I'm concerned with Rooney (we'll know more tomorrow). The thing is, striker options are relatively thin on the ground.
But the rest I'm kind of ok with.

I should say I'm planning to WC in GW3.

If the Stones deal is expected to go through it's still uncertain he'll start. However Mangala seems a bit dead in the water so I wouldn't be surprised if he does. L Kone could be a bargain and should start. Keep in mind Valencia is expected to start ahead of Darmian and he could be a points machine. Friend at home looks good.

Mahrez is a great shout. But you just can't tell how Mahrez will do. How was he pre-season do you know? Rest is solid. I expect Hazard to have a fine season.

No explanation for Aguero needed.

Rooney is a slight punt.

I'll be honest I know almost nothing about Gray but the chat around here is that he looks like he could do very well. Rooney could be an absolute gem and I'm surprised nobody else seems to be considering him. I'd keep him if I were you. I expect Bournemouth to get relegated this season.

You have 3 captain choices in Rooney, Hazard, & Aguero. That's enough.
GW3 seems standard when we know which teams are gonna do well, so yeah, just set your team up against the crap teams to start.

Really nice team. Give 2 or 3 and it's practically the same as mine.

You're not spending 50m on a player for him to sit on the bench.

DeGea

Shaw
Alderweireld
Clyne

Sane
Payet
Mahrez (c)
Xhaka

Lukaka
Musa
Kane

Subs

GK : Pickford
D : Paredes
D : Amat

Not fully decided on Xhaka and Sane yet however both will probably play most games barring injury.

Think Im pretty happy other than that.

Too much spent on defence, and the two subs aren't great. Xhaka isn't the type of mid that scores goals or assists afaik and Kante is the same. Payet is returning from euros and will be eased back into action I'd imagine. Sané is too much of a rotation risk. Musa may not start or could play on the wing so is a risk. And you gotta get aguero. He's the one player you absolutely have to have in this game when he's fit

Manutd_4life

How can I improve this guys:

GK: De Gea, Jaku

Def: Shaw, Terry, Baines, Smith, Friend

Mid: Feghouili, Fabregas, Siggy, Mahrez, Fletcher

Striker: Aguero, Ibra, Gray

I'm probably gonna go with 343. Not fully content with this squad though

Get Aguero. Don't try without. Just get him.

farranreeboy

Got rid of Kane and Vary so now i've Gray Negredo and Aguero with 1.5 to spare

Chesty08

Foster / Jaku

Terry Souare Friend (Kone, Paredes)

Hazard Firmino Tadic Lamela (Oviedo)

Kun Ibra Gray

Any thoughts?

Trying to cover all bases attack wise.

- Going in without Arsenal attack, could change Tadic to Iwobi & upgrade Gray?

- No Utd or City midfielder... Doesn't sit comfortably with me... KDB, Silva or Mikki Ryan

- No Utd defensive cover... It's either straight swap Terry / Shaw or upgrade a budget if transfer Tadic to IWobi.

What are people's views on my squad structure & thinking??

Sacrifices have to be made if you want both Aguero and Ibrahimovic. Assuming you are set on this (I'm dead set against it tbh so maybe not the best person to advise you) your team structure is probably as good as you can do.

I think with your two Manchester strikers, I'd go with Hazard over a City or Utd midfielder. I wouldn't touch Iwobi as he wont be a regular starter once everyone is back.

Defensively, it's 50/50 between Terry and Shaw, especially in the early weeks. It depends how quickly Conte and Mourinho will sort their teams out.

Thanks.

I'm not dead set on Ibra but fear if he explodes I've nothing to get him in.

If I do change what other strikers are there?

Initially I was looking at Aguero but overload of top range midfielders.

What other striker options are people going with?

I'm probably going for Gray and another 6.5. I'm setting up specifically for the first 3 weeks so am happy to wait on Ibrahimovic, as I'll be ripping up my team anyway.

I'm putting more money into defence (Terry and Shaw) and midfield (2 heavy hitters, 2 mid range and Bolasie). Will rotate the two 6.5 strikers and Bolasie for the 3 weeks.

Chesty08

This was my initial thinking of midfielder with 2 x 6.5m forwards.

What's your midfield?

It was Hazard, Mahrez, Tadic, Ayew and Bolasie but I have to reconsider as Ayew is up in the air with his possible transfer to West Ham.

Taylor might not start GW1 as Kingsley has been playing LB in the preseason due to the Euro's.

I expect him to start, but it's a gamble. I'd wait a week or 2 before getting him

Why the love for Mahrez - do we think Leicster will be as good?

There is Silva, Firmino, Mane, Mikki Ryan (particularly if not going Ibra) et al..

I'm prob being sceptical because he was one of the reasons I didn't do aswell last year

Hill first game followed by back to back home games is what's doing it for me
I'll be wildcarding then anyway
Also as you said there are many others at a similar price tag so an easy switch
Hazard at 10 is the awkward one for me
If he was 9.5 is have him in for sure

It's fine. It's basically the template if you have Aguero and Ibra.

Same as Slick Ric said, i have more or less the same team. I have decided not to risk top much early on this year, Aguero and Ibra could do alot or nothing so better be sorry I did than I didn't.

Any love for Lamela? Just reading up on him there and looks like he could be great value at 7. Currently have Siggy but thinking of swapping them.

Go back to Terry. I haven't given Saints defence any consideration tho.. I just feel with Cedric/Fonte & New manager could take them a while to settle.

Redmond? Could you find .5 elsewhere & go Lamela?

*just seen you have Alli. Alli looked well off it with England, could think him a while to get his confidence back

I have Lamela. I think Spurs coverage is essential, they are well settled, had a good season last year and could kick on more.... This includes Lamela who will play!

spock.

I'm going with both, hard to choose one.
