Ben Dinnery says Fernandez fit and Kingsley 4.0 to play Left back, and says Amat could play Centre half, also Fabio signed for Boro might affect Friend?With the doubts over Siggy, and Souare looking to be ok, I think I'm done. I reworked it so I could have 8m for Siggys spot thinking Firmino was 8.0 only to then realise he was 8.5. That's how I ended up with Ramsey, also a bit of insurance in case the Liverpool Arsenal game is highscoring, which I fear it might be.
I am definitely doing the BigBig Front 3, and glad to have the balance of 2 decent price slots in midfield so I can get Siggy for GW2, or possibly get in Kane if he looks good.
With the Northwest Derby and associated pints tonight I'll be leaving this locked in shortly, with perhaps a quick check in the morning for injury news.
Foster (Jakupovic)
Friend, Stones, Souaré (Amat, Smith)
Hazard, Redmond, Ramsey, Townsend (Capoue)
Vardy, Aguero (c), Ibra
Remember in the "Resolutions" thread where I said my fetish for premium forwards would be something I'd be working on this season - well scratch that, I'm off the wagon!!

Lamela/Vardy or Hazard/Gray?
Having a similar conundrum around the same players.
Just be assured, no matter what decision you think, you will feel it is the wrong one
Leicester play Hull but some tricky games mixed in there. Hazard is too hard to predict. Think I am going to gamble on him0 -

So guys I'm trying not to go all templatey- will be WC after the international break so I'm hoping for some price rises especially with Stones, Fischer, Morgan. Oh, will be playing 343 for 95% of the season.
Goalkeeper - thinking Hennessey might get 2 CS out of his first 3 matches. But also tempted with Foster and Forster. Will be switching to Cech for GW4 and he will play the rest of the season. Want a 4m goalie who will go up in price or at least not go down - thats why I settled on Pope (small ownership). Reckon that Hull goalie might drop in value.
Defence:
Morgan - reckon Leicester might pick up 2 clean sheets or maybe even 3 in their first 3 matches. Was also tempted of throwing Schemichael in goal but thought one Leicester player defensively is enough.
Van Djik - reckon could get 2 clean sheets out of the first 3 matches.
Stones - not a great fan of him or City defence when kompany is not playing but reckon he might get a CS against Sunderland and if that happens a price rise.
Shaw - will play in GW2 and will probably stay in the team for the rest of the year - was also considering Valencia but he is injury prone.
Amat - a 4m player who will mostly be on the bench.
Midfield:
Jedinak - Palace have 2 decent fixtures in the first 3. I know a lot have gone for Townsend but I think Jedinak is solid enough to free up cash elsewhere.
Williams - the 7.5m Chelsea midfielder who I think will play.
Fischer - a risk but might do alright in the first three GWs - could be a surprise package. Also thought about Ramirez.
Redmond - I like Southamptons fixtures in GW1 and GW3.
Lamela - will come in in GW2.
Forwards:
Aguero - overall I think City will struggle in their first 3 games, but Aguero could get a goal or two. Will reassess him (and Ibra) after the 3 matches.
Vardy - could destroy hull and Leicester looked pretty good against Utd last week.
Ibra - an expensive gamble but rather have him in now than not being able to afford him later.
IMO Arsenal, Liverpool and City have difficult matches for the first three game weeks. But after that I will be looking to bring in Silva (lets see how he gets on with Ageuro and his gametime), Cazorla or Sanchez when Arsenals matches get a bit easier.
Anyway that's my madness, but how mad is the question??????????????

Goalkeepers:
Weakest link in the team, I think. Need to have cheap options to accommodate my outfield players. Foster offers a cheap way into the West Brom defence, hopefully Pulis has worked his magic over the Summer. Jakupovic should start the first few games for Hull, hoping he will pick up a few points from saves.
Defenders:
Think Shaw is gonna have a huge season. Guaranteed starter. With Schneiderlin/Carrick ahead of the defense this season and Mourinho as the manager, one would expect a lot more clean sheets for Man United. Can also offer some attacking returns as he can be a huge attacking threat. Chose Stones because he should be the first choice CB at the moment, especially since he was signed for close to £50million. Man City should be a lot more solid with Guardiola as their new manager. His defensive record for his teams throughout his career is simply incredible. Final defender is Friend, simply because Middlesbrough are very well drilled defensively. Karanka, the manager, loves nothing more than a 1-0 victory!
Midfielders:
Toss up between Mahrez and Hazard. Picked Mahrez. Player of the year last year, on set pieces and Leicester's fixtures are generous for the first few weeks. I do have 0.5 in the bank to get Hazard in. Lamela has been playing very well in pre-season and could be taking a lot of set pieces, not to mention he has rediscovered his form, from his Roma days, since Pochettino has taken over. I expect a big season from him. Firmino is a guaranteed starter in my eyes. I think playing under Klopp's style of football will improve his game massively. Klopp said he was the best player for Liverpool in pre-season and will either start as a false 9 or as No.10 behind Origi. Also, Chambers and Holding will be the CB's for Arsenal this weekend so that is another plus! Final player is Tadic. Picked him from all the talk about him on these forums. His record speaks for itself when he gets consistent game time.
Forwards:
Aguero has to be in any team I think. Sole striker for Man City, capable of scoring 25+ goals this season. Spurs have some nice games over the first few weeks so I went with Kane. He isn't a one season wonder, as proven last season. His movement is exceptional, clinical in the box and is Spurs only hope of finishing in the Top 4 again this season. Takes penalties too. Burnley played some attractive football last season and Gray is a decent option, but I am worried about him. Can't think of a better option for his price. Championship player of the year last year, is lightning quick and has a poachers instinct.
Bench:
Evans should start and another option into the West Brom defense. Capoue should start. Amat is the cheap option, fingers crossed he will start.
What I like:- 0.5 in the bank, so I can get Hazard or Ibra in.
- Three different options for captaincy in Mahrez, Aguero and Kane.
- All three forwards are penalty takers for their clubs, a huge plus for any striker and the
majority of my midfielders take the set-pieces for their clubs.
My Concerns:- No Chelsea coverage.
- No Arsenal coverage.
- No Man United coverage in attack.
Appreciate any opinions or criticism! Thanks.0 -

What do you reckon ?

Took Ibra out for Vardy... hull makes it too tempting and he's captain too. Mahrez in there too.
Have €3.5 in the bank so I'll prob go wildcard in GW 3 i think0
