United, City, Chelsea Arsenal defence of; DDG - will play all games. (Jakupovic) Sagna Terry Gabriel Friend (boro) as cover. 5th defender will be a 4m and won't play. Fabregas Ayew Tadic Delefalou (Bolasie) Aguero Kane Grey If Gray struggles to adapt to EPL I'll sell in week 3 or 4 for Carroll, Austin or similar.

In an Aguero + Ibra team as I see it you can either go this way or go for 1 premium mid and 2 mid range (Tadic etc) and one cheaper like Redmond/ Townsend. What I fear about the latter is the inflexibility to get in one of the many 9.5 range guys if they fire early. With the 2 expensive/2 cheap I think there's more flexibility as you can switch yhe 9.5 mid to any 9.5 or a 8.5 or 7.5 if they look essential. Flexibility in early season especially is king in my book. I've spent a bit less at the back at this stage too. New managers, new attackers. Clean sheets can be less frequent early on. So, yes you are relying on Townsend / Redmond but it's a good team for me, and with the flexibility to move onto the early bandwagons.

FHFC wrote: » Following on from above. I said last night I'd post this team. Have avoided RMT largely so far as I haven't put huge time into it yet. But even so I'm pretty happy with this barring a closer look at the fixtures. Its a GW1-4 max team. Foster/Jakupovic Terry (or Aina), Shaw, Friend, Souaré, Smith Hazard, Mahrez, Andros, Redmond, Leko Agüero, Ibrahimovic, Gray. GKs 2 starting keeper with Pullis power for 8.5m is my cup of tea. DEFs Hopefully Aina comes in at max 5.0 to save me 0.5 here. Stones instead of Shaw also a possibility. Palace/ Boro rotation for 3rd def gives WBA sun BOU PAL. MID As i said above I like the flexibility of this midfield shape. I had originally gone for the 1 Premium/2 Mid/1 cheap with Tadic and Ayew. Hazard has potential to start like a wounded animal after last season. Mahrez has Hull first. Redmond was excellent towards the end of last season. And it's always going to be Andros. FWD Speaks for itself. Marmite. You either want Ibra and Aguero or you don't.

I really wanted Mikki Ryan but with Ibra I think I can hold off for now, although switching KDB here will give me 1mil to upgrade Tadic or Montero. Have JT in defence so could move him out for a 4.5 def & bring in Ayew for Montero (this includes making other transfer above) Not really settled on this but I have the spine of my team made. what your thoughts on this
