How about a blank PVA card?

You can top up on goals and assists plus I do go deal on clean sheets but I need your Triple Captain chip to cover expenses. You can trust Mr.P

I have Benteke in my team as I thought he would have moved by now. There is no chance of him starting this weekend will have to dip in for another I say

ElTel · 11-08-2016 11:45PM

Solid team and you asking all the right questions. Trust you gut.
I've Diomande instead of Grabban (my team bar a few tweeks is further backl).Stoke are a wait and see for me.

Hi

So I have this currently

Foster
Baines Stones Valencia
Hazard Firmino Lamela Tadic
Gray Vardy Aguero(c)

Pickford Kone Kinglsey Hojburg

GK
Is Pickford the best 4.0m keeper? I guess it doesnt matter really
Hull gut is in for a lot 'cos of long term injury to no1
DF
Am I spending .5m too much here. SHould I downgrade Baines or Valencia?
Up to You but .5M itb is nice.
Also what are peoples best 4.5m and 4.0m defenders?
Plenty of picks in the last few pages.
MF

Best 4.5m option?

FW

Im a litte worried about Gray tanking and taking a hit. Anybody looking at Negredo, Wilson or other 6.5m options?

What would you prefer

Shaqiri and Grabban and play 3-5-2
or
4.5m MF and 6.5m FW?

Thanks

Good luck.

Iused2likebusts · 11-08-2016 11:50PM

Change of plan Ive decided to go without hazard and get in Ibra. Latest draft is
Foster
stones mee friend
townsend sanchez firmino redmond
Ibra aguero gray
jaku naughton evans marney
I prefer sanchez over hazard he is a better goalscorer so to get ibra in I had to cut hazard. Ive left 1million in the bank and plan to do townsend to a 7.5 mid next week either ayew,siggy or oscar.

Im happy with a cheap defence 31.5 on my back 7. An interesting article on FFS about premium defenders v cheap defensive rotation. Its something I tend to agree with we only need to pick 3 from our back 5 so its quite possible to get decent fixtures most weeks for a rotating cheap defence. Im just looking at the first 4 weeks my 12 fixtures for my defenders that Ill play are SUN H, SWA H, STO H, HULL H, EVE H, STO A, MID H , WHU H, WBA A, HULL H, CRY H BOU A. Id hope to get between 4 and 6 c.s from those 12 fixtures anything either side of that Id class as either unlucky or lucky.

markcahill1985 · 12-08-2016 12:35AM

Think I'm going to go with

Foster
Shaw stones friend
Hazard siggi lamela townsend
Ibra Aguero Negredo

Janko Evans feghouli mcnair

Trey13 · 12-08-2016 01:07AM

Heaton Cech

Bailly Shaw Stones Friend Amat

Payet Ayew Lamela Tadic Fletcher

Vardy Aguero Gray

Heaton (Foster)
Friend, Hernadez,Valencia,(Amat,Kone)
Oscar,Hazard,Sanchez,Tadic(Routledge)
Aguero,Gray,Musa.
Might change Sanchez and Musa, for Firmino and Vardy

Shane732 · 12-08-2016 07:39AM

Diomande and Flecther are both just thrown in to finish the team at the min.

I don't know about last year, but Andros 'Spacecraft' Townsend did take pens for Spurs for a spell. Good record iirc also. Could make him more attractive if it turns out to be the case.

Porthallian · 12-08-2016 08:52AM

De Gea (Pickford)
Stones Shaw Alder Evans (Amat)
Payet Alli Lingard Willian (Kante)
Aguero Kane (Diomande)

Any advice?

4-4-2 is a different approach as is Lingard which I think he'll do well at the start of the season. Usually I'd say downgrade Kante to a 4.5 but sure why not, you don't need to upgrade really anywhere else. Nicely balanced, your midfielders generally had a great year and no punts on any signings new to the Premiership, best of luck!

Joeyjoejoe43 · 12-08-2016 09:11AM

Thanks for replies on Palace penos.. found a site that predicts peno takers and they say Cabaye who is only 6mil so thinking of him instead of Townsend. By the way why do ye call him Spacecraft??

COH · 12-08-2016 09:18AM

Squad no. 6 billion and rising....

Foster
VVD/Stones/Valencia
Hazard/Redmond/Alli/Townsend/Siggy
Aguerro/Vardy

(Diomande/Amat/Kone/Jakupovic)

GK pretty straightforward selection, cheap and cheerful.

Def: Probably spent 0.5-1.0 more than originally intended - and had the likes of PVA and Williams instead of VVD and Valencia but decided to wait and see with the likes Everton who are pretty busy in the transfer market and Sunderland who could either capitulate completely or have some bargain defenders. Stones seems good value, bit of a boring one there and could see PVA in for him down the line if Moyes does what Moyes does best.

Mid: Choice between Hazard and Sanchez for premium spot - Chelsea's fixtures just swayed me but I'm not sold on Chelsea at all under Conte so consider it a bit of a punt. Alli/Redmond/Townsend/Siggy just because of the potential attacking threat. Would have preferred Ayew in but unsure if he'll start. SO many options in midfield - Alli in because I want spurs cover and Redmond seems the best of the 5.5-6.5 bunch. Spacecraft in because hey who doesn't like jumping on a good bandwagon eh!

Forwards: Aguerro because science. Vardy is in instead of Ibra because I don't know how Ibra will adapt to the prem - his transfer in reminds me of the Shevchenko transfer... great player but probably a few seasons past it.

Have 1.0 in the bank for GW2 with a view to Hazard > Sanchez or Vardy > Kane or whatever midfielder decides to explode (eyes on Firmino/Silva/Ayew here). This of course could all change drastically by tomorrows deadline :pac:

Cheers! Yeah main reason I'm going 4-4-2 is the value in defence this year.
Stones is a snip IMO especially with City's start and Kompany/Otamendi being doubts.

Could downgrade Kante to 4.5 but I think at 5 he is a bargain too. Could easily sub in any week. Defence, GK and FWs are pretty set for me.
Only headache now is Willian/Lingard although Jose seems to like Lingard and I would prefer a 6/7.5 duo that 7/6.5 or 9/4.5

Siggy for Willian maybe? Might just leave it as is.

Cabaye I believe. Jedinak possibly if he plays

Benimar · 12-08-2016 09:40AM

Currently on:
Foster, Jakupovic
Shaw, Stones, Friend, Kone, Amat
Hazard, Firmino, Lamela, Tadic, Gaston
Aguero, Vardy, Gray

Keepers - common pairing for those of us planning a WC after GW3

Defenders - Shaw should be a good option under Jose, Stones is a 'cheap' way into a title challengers defence, Friend is a guaranteed starter for a defensive side, Amat is a strong possibility of a 4m starter, Kone is up in the air after last nights announcement.

Midfielders - I fancy Hazard to bounce back and has nice fixtures to start. I think Firmino will be the False 9 and away games could suit Liverpool. Lamela is a great price and I think Spurs will do well. Tadic has good fixtures and might be playing as a No 10. Gaston is on set pieces and gives me an option if I don't want to play Gray.

Forwards - Aguero should be in every team, Vardy has Hull and Swansea in the 1st 3 weeks, as well as an Arsenal defence missing Gabriel and Mertesacker. Gray is the most secure of the 6.5m strikers to start. I'd go Big Andy if I was 100% certain he would start GW2.

My decisions are:
-Downgrade Tadic to Redmond, upgrade Kone to a 5m defender and keep 1m for a potential Vardy to Kane (c) transfer in GW2.
-Downgrade Gaston to Capoue to generate the 1m
-Risk Big Andy!

A long day awaits!!
