Well lads.....and ladies (howya cookie) seems like only yesterday I was on here picking your brains! Any opinions on the following would be welcome please

GK - Begovic Forster
Rotate well and 2 decent teams. Only .5 more then Fabianski and Foster but I could revert to them

Def - Trippier Lindelof Lascelles Long Rangel
Tripper and Lindelof will play each week and 1 of the other 3 to roatate 2 x 4.0 and 1 x 4.5 isn't too expensive

Mid - Sanchez Coutinho Ward-Prowse Waters RLC

Fwd - Lukaku Kane Defoe

0.0 itb

Alfred Borden

Started out with:

Begovic
Trippier Luiz Lindelof Chilwell
Sanchez De Bruyne Knockaert
Mitrovic Kane Lukaku

Subs: Elliot, Romeu, Gamez and RLC.

Trimm Trabb

Foster Myhill

Trippier Lindelof Long

Alli Mane Ritchie RLC

Kane Jesus

These 11 I'm happy with but playing around with some combinations for the other 4 places, feedback appreciated:

A) Bailly Yoshida Carroll Firmino (433)
Lowton Lascalles Coutinho J. Rodriguez (343)
C) Lowton Yoshida Knockaert Firmino (343)

Who is better 6.0 player - Bailly, Rodriguez or Knockaert?

Is Coutinho worth .5 extra to Firmino?

Is having Yoshida (5.0) and playing him every week better than messing around with two 4.5 defenders?

Does anyone who has Begovic (howya MrMac ) reckon he'll be first choice over Boruc this season? I was considering Boruc as cheap rotation myself.

Thanks

Picking nacho on the understanding he will be at Leicester? Arsenal United and Chelsea in the first 4 weeks would make me want to hold off

Not seeing many teams with Kun in them. Do people see better value elsewhere?

Will Stankovic or Hünemeier get any game time?
Downgrade Depoitre to a 4.5 and upgrade one of Stankovic and Hünemeier.
Hopefully there will be some 4.0 starters, but very unlikely.
Two is too many until we know.

I'm starting with 3 defenders , I'm waiting on pre season too find out the defensive line ups from Huddersfield and Brighton for rotation .

I'm also waiting on the Sanchez situation if he goes it will release funds for changes .

I'm loathe to get rid of Depoitre that's where ( hopefully ) Huddersfield will get the goals and I'm looking to rotate him with Cheek ( not perfect ) who ever has the easy Match.

But thanks for the advice.

Are people still going with Sanchez even though Arsenal have a starting striker now?

I really fancy Chilwell but I don't think he is nailed on to start? That would be my concern.

I think people are looking at Kane and Lukaku as better options from the start this year...the Jesus factor also may mean that Kun is not the main man, in the same way he was and the way Lukaku and Kane are. I'm not entirely sure yet, but the following is my first draft.

Forster, Begovic (rotate perfectly)

Lindelhof, Dunk, Lowe, Francis, Cedric (Man Utd defender a must to start with. Remaining defenders rotate perfectly, with Southampton having a good start to boot).

Alli, Pogba, Fabregas, JWP, Townsend (not happy with Townsend, he just looked the best fit for 6m...I can already see myself taking him out to change things around).

Kane, Lukaku, Gayle.

Nervous about no City. Also worried about Spurs starting slow. No Sanchez another concern. Could I take out Kane to work Aguero and Sanchez in???

I just made a stab at BIG 3 Up Front Team. Here it is:

Begovic, Ryan

Lowe, Yedlin, Dunk, Simpson, Francis

Silva, Pogba, Fabregas, JWP, RLC

AGUERO, KANE, LUKAKU

This would be madness right???

I have the exact same concern about Spurs starting slowly, plus the Wembley factor (& this is coming from somebody who had Alli, Eriksen & Kane for a large part of the year). Could swap out Alli for a City/Liverpool mid perhaps and then if Spurs look good in the first couple of matches swap him in?

Alli & Kane were initially the first two in my team, but am now holding off on Alli I think until I see how Spurs start (plus it will give me the option of going for Eriksen if he looks in better form).

Kane is on pens which is attractive imo so I wouldn't be taking him out for Kun or Sanchez yet.

Mané might not be fully fit for the start of the season so I'd go for either Coutinho or Salah instead. Firmino is a bit too inconsistent for me, would rather Defoe for .5 less. Knockaert out of those 6.0s and I'd prefer Cedric to Yoshida.

EDIT: I've just seen that Knockaert has an ankle injury so you might want to monitor that.

Panthro

Pickford
Azpilicueta--McAuley--Bellerín
Salah--Fàbregas--Pogba--Alli--Cheek
Jesus--Batshuayi



Fabianski
Mee--Daniels--Gayle

manual_man

Currently pondering this:

Foster (Myhill)
Cedric Berty Milner Lindelof Trippier
Sanchez Mané RLC (Carroll Cork)
Lukaku Kane (Murphy)

Allows me the 3 big guns. Good captain option pretty much every week. RLC and Carroll to rotate most weeks. Double Saints defence but it's hard to ignore superb opening fixtures and their new manager is very defense minded.

Pickford has a very tough start sp maybe wait a few weeks for him and batshuayi will be vulnerable if Chelsea get a new striker

GLaDOS

Surprised to see Fabregas to popular. Wouldn't have considered him a guaranteed starter and thats key in the first few gws

I don't buy into this 5 man defence strategy....true there are some high scoring options, but the extra cash required when you can find a few 4.5 gems doesn't justify it for me. Starting with 5 attackers v 8 attackers just doesn't seem a sustainable approach.

In your case, I would get rid of Sanchez (too much doubt surrounding him) downgrade 2 defenders are spread the love around the midfield and 3rd striker.

His goal scoring record is still great even on the wing as an inverted forward

Iheanacho is not going to get a look in at City, unless you are banking on him getting a move. Rashford will also not play enough to be a FF asset I think.

Also, I'm not sure why Fabianski seems to be popular in so many teams. Swansea defence was pretty poor last year. If you downgraded one of our 4.5 to a 4.0, you would have enough to get Forster and have a perfect rotation with Begovic,

An attempt at a big front 3 squad.

Could be worse tbh.

Double Utd in midfield is a risk - Mou's style not really advantageous for the attacking mid. I do think Pogba will do much better than last year all the same.
