Not sure I'd double on their defence with anew manager though
I'd downgrade Forster and go with 2 4.5s if you want two playing keepers
Find one that rotates well with begovic
There is one team but I can't think who it is
Possibly Swansea
West brom have nice fixtures though so a lot are going foster and myhil/Elliot

Bournemouth rotate with Southampton
Swansea with WBA

Salah and firmino is way too much spent on Liverpool attack
Downgrade firmino
Upgrade RLC or Tom carroll

Is that foster west brom at 4.5 or Forster Southampton at 5ml (along with cedric) ?

Yeah I usually go for a 3-4-3 and a GK + DEF of the below, maybe adding 0.5 or 1.0, but no more.

Thanks for the input Sheroman. Wasn't sure about Rodriguez(think he could have a good season) so i had the option of 442 with a strong enough defence until it became clear if he will start/score well.

You are of the school of thought thatputs minimum resourses into defence I take it?

Not a bad team but too much money in defence imo. You have 4 premium defenders. I would downgrade Walker, Ake and either Luiz/Trippier to 2 x 4.5 and 1 x 4.0m defenders. This frees up lots of funds to upgrade Rodriguez and/or RLC.

I can understand the logic of Fabregas but I can't start the season with any doubts in my team. Fabregas is a doubt.

My thinking on fabregas is that without hazard he will have a starting spot possibly in the hole and his returns last year from limited time were fantastic at 7.0 I think he's definitely worth a punt

I hope you are right on Long, but I thought I read that Mee is first choice, with Tarkowski most likely to partner him. Played more than Long last year too.

It could go either way but I think Tarkowski is ahead of him based on the past season and a half. We will know closer to the time.

Would appreciate any thoughts on the below 1st draft.
Foster/Begovic (Will rotate as fixtures suit)
Lindelof Tripper Keane (Likely 3at back) Simpson Duffy
Mkhitaryan De Bruyne Coutinho RLC (4 in midfield) Carroll
Lacazette Lukaku King (50/50 between Lacazette and Jesus, thinking i may swap to Jesus and see how Laca settles, was impressed with King last year and would hope he plays with Defoe)

Keane's first few fixtures are pretty bad
Otherwise I like that team a lot

Another draft (of many

)

________________________________
Begovic

Lindelof, Trippier, Cedric

Ozil, David Silva, Pogba, Loftus Cheek

Rooney, Lukaku, Kane

(Fabianski, Francis, Colback, Mee)
_______________________________

Keepers and chepie defenders will rotate, unsure if Silva will be a regular, Rooney is a risk (though from the press conference he did, Koeman seems to be saying he will be a starter but dunno if that was all front)

I could upgrade to Sane and downgrade Rooney to a 6.5m (probably Gayle), I also have wiggle room so may downgrade Ozil to Coutinho (he's 0.5 cheaper) to use the 0.5 elsewhere.

Any though would be much appreciated again

I would downgrade Sanchez (to Ozil maybe). You need to up grade one of JWP/Walters and also look at the defence. Having both Long and Rangel is risky, as both may not start which leaves you with 3 defenders.

If you are dead set on keeping Sanchez, downgrade Defoe to someone like Gayle/Austin and do the same as above.

I like the keeper combo, just not sure if I have the 0.5m to spare.

Unless Burnley sign a cb long will start and Dysche rates him highly... ill only ever play 3 at the back so once Lindelof and Trippier play I only need 1 of the other 3 to start. Ya I'm not completely sold on Sanchez yet

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

Anyone any insight into this?

First draft of many. Midfield is very weak but happy elsewhere. Could downgrade Jesus to Firminho and then Sterling to Alli.

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.

An attempt at a big front 3 squad.

Foster Fabianski
Alonso Lindelof Cedric Francis Long

Could be worse tbh.

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,

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

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