    Need some advice...

    Picked almost all my team but I have 9.5m to spend on a Defender & Midfielder.

    Any ideas? The midfielder needs to be either a penalty/free kick or corner taker...considering Noble.

    Defender obviously has to be as good as what left over money can buy....

    Will probably do my wildcard in Week 3 at this rate but here's my squad for the first two weeks:

    Given

    Faye Ab (will swap for Fig week 2)
    Zhirkov
    Evra
    Carragher

    Gerrard
    Lampard
    Modric

    Bent (if he moves to Sunderland)
    Beattie
    Ebanks-Blake

    Subs - Hart, Figueroa, Larsson, Muamba

    Noble is a great player, definately worth 6.0 - but best of luck getting a defender for 3.5 ;)

    I like it a lot. Not many people seem to be going for Modric which is surprising.

    Larsson takes the set pieces for Birmingham and is 5.0 and you can pick up Faye Ab (playing Burnley first game) for 4.5

    Your entire midfield isn't playing Week 2, also I think Hull will be very poor this year so I'd get rid of Turner

    Liverpool are, home to Stoke I think, he's got Kuyt in there. ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,828 ✭✭✭speedboatchase


    True, my mistake. It's a good side on paper, albeit a bit unbalanced (needs at least 1 top four defender in there), but GW2 is going to be a killer for a lot of teams so it'd be better if the side was designed around it now rather than later

    I would,we're doing one at work.Would you limit it to 20 teams,so each team plays each other twice over the season,home & away or what have you in mind?

    I'd agree with that. However there's a few players that you gotta look at getting and keeping before they start to increase in value. My keeper and 4 outfielders aren't playing GW2 so with the keeper+3 on my bench and 1 transfer that week it should be fine. Looking at my team as is I have 13 different clubs represented! Bad idea?

    I three would be interested


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 931 ✭✭✭PH4T


    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.

    OK here is my GW4 onwards team.

    Schwarzer

    ----Zhirkov----Hangeland----Figeroa----Shawcross----Warnock----

    Gerrard
    Lampard
    Arshavin(c)
    Modric

    Ebanks-Blake

    Bench
    Sorensen
    Mullins
    Doyle
    Keogh


    I won't even show you my initial team as it's all built around GW2.
