Opinions much appreciated:

Schwarzer

----Evra----Hangeland----Figeroa----Hughes----Cole A----

Gerrard

Lampard(c)

Young A

Modric

Ebanks-Blake

Bench
Sorensen
Doyle
Keogh
Mullins

I am going to bring in Arshavin after GW2. I'm tracking the progress of Zhirkov as well. If he is played on the left wing, then I'll replace Asley Cole with him.

seandugg · 01-08-2009 12:57AM

Any suggestions on forwards for 4.5m who are likely to get a game most weeks?

Eire-Dearg · 01-08-2009 01:05AM

My up-and-coming website will have an epic two part Fantasy League "Who To Pick" guide. Some of you's might find it helpful.

I think it's pretty good but I wouldn't recommend a Schwarzer/Sorensen combo considering Fulham's second match with Blackburn will be scrapped assuming they progress in the Europa League (which they will barring a total collapse). That would mean you'd have to use Sorensen in goal away to Liverpool in Week 2.

Also I'd ditch Neville and Anderson as I'm not sure they'll gain many points.

Looks very good but for the reasons mentioned above I'd ditch Sorensen due to the fact Liverpool will almost certainly drub Stoke in week 2 which would leave you screwed.

None of them look particularly appealing to me but I reckon Cameron Jerome has a chance of featuring in the first few games since Benitez is injured.

seandugg · 01-08-2009 01:18AM

You think Folan will play more this season?

IMHO

Fulham bad for first few games.

Neville not good at all. He's a midfielder this year so only 1 point for a clean sheet and he get's very few goals or assists.

Arshavin great for the season but bad till after gameweek 4.

Drogba probably better than Torres for first few games.

NaiveMelodies · 02-08-2009 12:18AM

Taylor Gerrard Lampard

C.Cole Ebanks-Blake

Subs:Larsson,Carsley,Murphy

Tech3 · 03-08-2009 12:30PM

Anyone think Owen would be a good option? He has been scoring in pre season not sure if he is likely to start the first few games?

He looks like a big gamble to me anyway.

wexican · 03-08-2009 01:00PM

Given
Zhirkov / Toure / Bramble
Arshavin / Cahill / Fellaini / Muamba
Tevez / Doyle / Torres

Bench: Sorensen / Hughes / Ferdinand / Sidwell

Firrst time playing in the boards.ie league.

Morzadec · 03-08-2009 02:32PM

Bent is looking like he's on his way to Sunderland. At 7.0 he could be an excellent mid-range value striking option...

vincenzo1975 · 03-08-2009 05:35PM

not sure if this was mentioned before, but in the interests of fair play and getting off to a good start...
CHECK OUT GAMEWEEK 2 FIXTURES.....HINTHINT.

I think it's a good team and I like it, but you have a short-term problem with your midfielders - several of them won't feature in week 2. Arsenal and Man City won't play so that rules out 3 of your midfielders (Arshavin, Barry, Ireland) and Everton and Villa won't play in week 2 either so neither Arteta or Young will feature. That would just leave you with Modric. I had a similar midifeld to yourself and have had to rethink things. It's a pain in the arse!

Long-term, of the dilemmas you're facing I'd personally go with Lescott over Zhirkov to begin with since Zhirkov is an unknown quantity whereas Lescott has scored consistently well the last 3 seasons.

With regards Young vs Arteta, I think Villa's first 10 games are tricky. They play Liverpool, Man City and Chelsea in the first 10 games. Everton start off with a tough game against Arsenal but from week 3 onwards their fixtures are very nice. Having Arteta then would be preferable in my opinion.

As for Davies or Cole I'd say they'd both be decent buys. I myself would likely avoid them in favour of Darren Bent though, assuming the Sunderland deal goes through. Bent is likely to feature a lot for Bruce and he's not a hothead like the other two who have been known to pick up plenty of cards.

veXual · 04-08-2009 08:49AM

Here's mine opinions welcome:

Given

Hangeland O'Shea Warnock

Ireland Kuyt Modric Essien

Torres Keane Crouch

I'm quite happy with this though Keane and crouch up front may be subject to change as they more than likely won't start together.

The reason I didnt go for bent is because Im not sure he will play all the time with jones being there, do you think he will play them together?

Otis Driftwood · 04-08-2009 11:56AM

1: Given

2: Baines

3: Hangeland

4: Brown

5: Evra

6: Lampard
(C)

7: Barry

8: Arshavin

9: Neville

10: Mikel

11: Torres

I reckon Mikel will feature heavily for Anchelotti this season,for 5 he is a steal.
Previous years I relied on a 3 man strike partnership but Im drawn to playing Torres on his own this year.
Will probably tweak it before the season starts though.

Mushy · 04-08-2009 12:07PM

Only remembered now that this would be back. Hopefully I don't lose interest after 2 weeks. Are ya allowed enter into more than 1 league?
