Ashley Cole or Invanovic,cannot make up my mind...........both same price

Also 17.4 % have Bale but only 4.6% have VDV and he is .5 cheaper,puzzles me

i've gone for ivanovic. looked much better towards the end of last season and is hitting his prime. should be nailed on for RB slot. cole is past his peak imo.

redzerdrog · 31-07-2012 10:49am

cole for me he is still be best full back in world

slingerz · 31-07-2012 11:02am

how do you know who rotates home and away with each other?

I have Begovic down as my best 4.5m prospect. Trying to find a rotation partner for the same price isn't easy though. I guess Jaaskelainen is there, and a lot have gone for Federici, it seems.

I'm considering going the extra 0.5 for Schwarzer though.

And that's if I don't go for de Gea to play every game.

Bloody hard to pick! :P

I'm going with Robert Green at QPR. He's a decent 'keeper and Hughes will shore up that defence. I think Green could be a bargain.

Junior Hoilett is in.

6.5, and is a midfielder.

hmmm.

Very good value. He's a top player and I'm surprised Spurs or Arsenal weren't after him.

That said, I still think Walters and Pienaar are two top midfielders at 6.5 million so I'm sticking with those. Hoilett is on my radar though.

Pienaar is in my team at the moment, but Hoilett is very tempting.

decent starting fixtures too.

Munster Magic · 31-07-2012 11:29am

Maloney or Noble?

I have both, along with Silva, Hazard and Hoilett in midfield.

I want to wait and see how Hughes deploys him. I'm surprised he went to play under Hughes again tbh.

It was Allardyce and moreso Kean that gave Hoilett his chance at Blackburn.

At the minute I have Walters, Maloney, Hazard, Bale and Frei. Could downgrade Walters to Noble I suppose

Anyone know for sure who will take free kicks and pens for both Wigan and West Ham?

Fritzl Funderland · 31-07-2012 12:23pm

Noble is West ham's peno taker

Thanks

Should I go with Tevez or Aguero? Currently have Aguero but my bench isnt great; Frei, Maloney and Clyne so thinking of going with Tevez and upgrading 1 or maybe 2 of those

Ormus · 31-07-2012 12:49pm

Will Stephen Kelly still get his game for Fulham? He seemed to do well last season but they have a new guy now called Riether who seems to be a right back and is more expensive than Kelly.

Will Carlos Cuellar be first choice for Sunderland?

Ivanovic is first choice RB at the moment but I wouldn't be surprised if another RB came in.

Cole could be rotated more than previous years in the coming season, with Bertrand there to steal some starts.

SpaceCowb0y · 31-07-2012 3:20pm

Does anyone have any news or know how likely the Pienaar transfer is to go through, great value but only if he goes to Everton! Cant see him starting all that much at spurs!

Likely I would say. With Tim Cahill leaving that will free up wages which can be used on Pienaar.

He is going through a medical at Everton at the moment. I'd be very very surprised if the move isn't completed. Although you'd never know.... he could fail his medical :pac:

I'd be very surprised if the deal didn't go through. Though the Everton chairman is notoriously stingy

have him in my team anyway, though will be on the bench for gw1

I was looking up the Hammers new defender (even though is says he plays for Wigan on wikipedia) Ivan Ramis and found this:

I'll probably put him in my team with that type of goalscoring record. Hopefully he's only 4 million.

According to the stats there he played one game in 2012 yet managed to score 324 goals. Some achievement... ROFL

Paully D · 01-08-2012 4:58am

With Spain out of the Olympics and their players returning home early, De Gea and Mata will both look tempting for those that were worried they would miss the first gameweek or two due to being rested.

jcunning · 01-08-2012 5:28am

Will you have de Gea or Mata in your team for Gameweek 1, Paully D?
I'm interested in both but I'm still not convinced they will go straight into their respective teams.

Trying to read between the lines from the Chelsea manager's quotes:
Di Matteo admitted Mata would have to be carefully managed when he does finally integrate back with the Chelsea squad.
He said: "We will have to see with Mata, because he was at the Euro champs as well.
It depends when then go out of the competition and how he feels physically and mentally."

With Hazard getting some pre-season game time and looking more comfortable when moved from the wing to the centre, I think Mata's a rotation risk for the double-gameweek. I'm sure he'll play one of the games but there won't be a wildcard for me to use in week 2 last season!

de Gea should play but you never know with Fergie.

AdamD · 01-08-2012 2:09pm

Will be interesting to see what price Santi Cazorla gets at Arsenal if they deal goes through

Paully D · 01-08-2012 2:25pm

To go with Yaya Toure at £8.0m or someone else at £6.5m and strengthen elsewhere?

Jimmy Iovine · 01-08-2012 2:27pm

Go for someone else. I don't think he'll get enough goals/assists to warrant his price.

Cheers, I was thinking the same.

Now to try and establish who out of Kaboul or Dawson will partner Verthongen in the centre of the Spurs defence :pac:

I would think Kaboul, but could be wrong. He'll suit AVB's high line a lot more than Dawson and had quite a good year last season also.

Dawson has reportedly been made captain, so id prob sway towards him

is lampard a starter for chelsea these days? same with nani for utd? are they likely to start the season as first choice?

I wouldnt think Lampard is a guaranteed start anyway, Chelsea have so many attacking midfield options now its hard tho know who will start (im banking on Hazard)! Same goes for Utd. with Nani/Valencia/Young/Kagawa now theres so much chance of rotation its going to make it hard for fantasy managers to choose right every week!
