looking like this. one or two positions are changeable depending a number of things - transfers, etc
You've a few punts in there, too many players new to their teams or new to the league for my liking. Like the Loftus Cheek/Ince combo though - every year there's some midfield enabler that hits the ground running. Good chance it'll be one of them with the fixtures they start with0 -

Very happy with my team, for the first time- very strong first 10 (but no spurs)
Will WC after 6/7 weeks as usual,
Foster
Danillo Trippier Valencia
KDB Salah William Zaha
Lukaku Jesus Rodriguez
Elliot Carrol Hagazi Smith
May drop Rodriguez for a 4.5m and upgrade hagazi to a 6m def
other than that can't see any changes? 0 -

I've set up my own team, but then had a look over the previous pages for more ideas and I've come up with the following team :
Foster - I'd prefer to go for Begovic/Boruc for Bournemouth but I'm not sure who'll actually nail down the starting position between the two of them.
Butland - 5m is cheap, and I reckon it's because he was injured for pretty much all of last season.
Bailly - Solid, and Utd obviously don't concede many goals. Would Vertonghen or Alderweireld be a better bet though? I do already have Trippier though. David Luiz could also slot in here but I'm not sure how reliable he is disciplinary wise. He seems better now as of last season but this is David Luiz we're talking about!
Trippier - Convinced after reading back on this thread. :pac:
Might get the bullet though if I choose one of the other two Spurs lads ahead of Bailly. But who to replace him? Perhaps McAuley for West Brom is always a good shout but I already have Foster in goal, and McAuley himself has only 50% chance of playing.
Daniels - Did well last season and still only 5m.
TAA - For reasons mentioned over the last few pages of this thread.
Ben Mee - 4.5m for a relatively consistent performer. Will probably spent most of the time on the bench anyway! :pac:
Dele Alli - One of my four big hitters.
Mo Salah - The second of my big hitters. I'm still unsure though. Should I try to save money here and put more into the forwards or upgrade one of the other three midfielders?
Loftus Cheek - Good and cheap, with the potential to do quite well I hope. Another idea I stole from the last few pages! :pac:
Ryan Fraser - He'll play anyway and may chip in with a few goals and assists. 5.5m may be a tad expensive for him though.
Solly March - Has seemed to have a decent pre-season (at least he scored to goals against my own Southend!) so one of those I feel is worth a punt at 5m. Maybe not after though!
Kane - I want Kane in my team, especially after he pretty much single-handedly earned me €50 last season!
Lukaku - Already a proven PL goalscorer (obviously), but I think he will flourish under Mourinho. Probably won't work as hard as Drogba used to though so it also has the potential to go a bit sour! :pac:
Chicharito - Always liked him. Plus, West Ham are off to Old Trafford first game of the season where Javier is just bound to score!! You can see it happening like! :pac: :pac:
Out of that team, the subs will most likely be March, Brady, and Mee, in that order. The two keepers are fairly interchangeable.
I also still have a half a mill0 -

Lots of money on keepers there, Foster would rotate better with Heaton if you are going down that route, defence looks ok apart from Daniels who is not guaranteed to start. Chicarito might be slow of the mark after the confederations Cup.I've set up my own team, but then had a look over the previous pages for more ideas and I've come up with the following team :

Hi,
I would be grateful for opinions on this please:
Goalies: Foster will play every week, Elliot is just bench-fodder but it seems like he is the only 4m goalie that has any chance of getting a game.
Backs: Will be playing four at the back. Bailly, Cahill and Trippier. Bailly and Cahill I'm happy enough with, but Trippier I'm not - going by Spurs efforts at Wembley last season in CL and Walker's departure to City I'm not sure how many clean sheets they can get this time around. But I'm thinking just in case they do good I'm better have some sort of Spurs defence and I'm not sure who else from another team would be a good replacement for him. As for Dawson and Mee, I believe Burnley and WBA rotate fixtures, so the home guy will play every week. If there are better options out there I'd like to know. I am somewhat concerned about Dawson as I have Foster in goal and maybe two Baggies in defence is too much considering they kept so few clean sheets last year.
Midfield: Again will be playing four in the middle. Thinking Pogba/KDB/Williams will be the stalwarts and will rotate between Cook and Milivojevic. Here I'm not sure how much game time Williams will get and Im also thinking Milivojevic might push Loftus-Cheek to the bench. I watched Cook during the summer and liked him, not sure if he will actually get a game but I think he has a great chance to break into the team so I thought its worth the risk for a cheap midfielder.
Forwards - Will be playing 2 up front, Lukaku and Aguero. Abraham is a cheap forward and I don't know who else might get a game in that sort of price bracket. I know a lot of people are going for Jesus but I figure if Jesus' hits the ground running rather than Aguero it will be easier to switch Aguero to Jesus rather than Jesus to Aguero. I've decided not to go for Kane for the time-being because like what I said about Tripper earlier, I'm really not sure how Spurs will perform at Wembley.

i had eliot for a while too but got rid. he'll play a week or two at most. you really don't want to be wasting a precious transfer on a goalie early doors and you really should have two rotatable goalies depending on fixtures unless you're going with a 5m + one all season.
rest of the team looks solid. i would take luiz at 6m instead of cahill and save .5 m.0 -

After all my talk I may end up chancing jones if trippier is out for a few weeks
Will switch to Forster in goals then and switch trippier to kompany or the new Arsenal LB possibly
Kompany and jones is probably asking for injury trouble though so probably won't 0 -

Trips to Stoke, Pool and Chelsea in the first 6 put me off Kolasinac. He has nice home fixtures in between though.0 -
