Rate My Team thread

Pretty happy with my team post-wildcard. Keep looking at it, looking for holes, looking for ways to improve but I think I'm settled. Any words of advice/wisdom would be appreciated though just in case I should make any last minute adjustments. I have 0.2 in the bank and this team:

Jaaskelainen - Begovic

Gibbs - Cuellar - Rafael - Clarke - Demel

Michu - Hazard - Sterling - Yaya - Ben Arfa

Flethcher - RVP - Tevez



Any suggestions welcome

who is back up to Krul and Simpson @ Newcastle?

Forgot how to upload anyways-

Szczesny
Baines Hughes McCauley
Hazard Pienar Cazorla Michu
VP Tevez Fletch

Sub: Jass, Demel, Sterling, Clyne
Yaya,Graham, Rangel where all there abouts, but decided on baines and Szczency. Szczesny to Beg and upgrading defence was option, but think Arse Defence is a must, would have loved Maloney for Sterling-

Currently sitting around 8,000th in the world with this team (value 103.5m). Wildcarded last week and was hoping to avoid having to make a transfer this week but BAE's mystery injury has forced my hand a bit. Can't have a 6.5m defender on the bench for four weeks.



I was planning on waiting to see how Berbs performed before getting him in, but he's really hit the ground running and is a steal at 7m.

Pog and Assou-Ekotto OUT
Berbs and (~4m defender) IN

I don't really want to take a 4 point hit so will probably wait until next week to bring Berbs in. I'm sure his price will have risen by another 0.1 but this doesn't bother me.

So I have about 4.3 to work with now for a defender, Demel seems the best option. I actually had him during my WC which is a bit annoying, and I'd prefer not to double up on West Ham defenders but they are on good form and he's likely to continue rising in value.

need a lil bit of advice here..

team currently is

dea gea(not playing)
green(not playing)

lescott,clarke,jagielka, fabio(injured) barnett

pienaar,hazard,kag,michu,britton

rvp,tevez,prog

Do you think i need to w/c to get two goalkeepers who play and upgrade/downgrade fabio, lescott,britton and possibly get berba or fletch and carzola too

I would wildcard yes, definitely. There's enough wrong with your team to justify it, and I'm always a fan of an earlyish wildcard when the first XI of teams have been established and the top players have been identified.

Remember you have another one in January.

EDIT: Looking at your team you probably need to change 6 players, and could improve 2 or 3 more (Jagielka for example who is a good player, the the likes of Gibbs and Rafael can be got for less).

I had far less wrong with my team when I wildcarded and I still think it was a good decision.

No brainer looking at your team imo

Need some opinions please. A combination of my stubbornness in not playing my WC earlier and price falls my team value is shot to pieces. I'm now considering using my WC.

What I have:
De Gea - Jussi
Lescott - Walker - Harte - McCartney - S Kelly
Hazard - Cazorla - Allen - Kacaniklic - Ireland
Pog - RVP - Tevez

What I'm looking at:
Begovic - Jussi
Lescott - Vidic - Clark - Chico - McCartney
Hazard - Cazorla - Sterling - Kacaniklic - Dyer
Berbatov - RVP - Tevez

Any thoughts?

rafael and demel instead of vidic and mccarthy and upgrade one of your midfielders imo

I don't think it's 100% necessary. De Gea will come back in soon enough or you could downgrade with a solitary transfer and your defence as a whole is alright.

Britton is a problem especially as it means Pogrebnyak has to play more or less every week. Green is also a problem but not particularly urgent.

I think you could sort it out with a couple of transfers. Wildcard if you're really not happy with it and would like to make wholesale changes but I think you could get by without it.

Having said that I probably would press the button. Just giving you an alternative.

i went for it yesterday as if i didnt i wouldnt been able to afford it with oprice increases durign the week,im kinda happy with it now.

jussi, begaovic

gibbs,clarke,demel,clyne, barnett

carzola,hazard,kag,michu,sterling

rvp,tevez,berba

Rate my team, please.

Solid first 11 9/10, but poor looking subs-need at least 13 playable players, so overall only a 6.5/10 as one injury and your screwed!

I would downgrade Vorm to Beg-
Then try upgrade 1/2 of bench-

Also, think you need at least a playable 3rd striker-(or bench player)
If you changed (vorm) Podolski and Le Fondre- could bring in Beg, Fletch and Berb?
Nelson and Gorkss can then be upgraded to 4m Def at least over time

Hi all, any opinions on this lot please? I want to do either Michu to Ben Arfa or Kagawa to Bale/Sigurdsson. Can't do both Ben Arfa & Bale without an 8 point hit so it looks like one or the other.

To drop Michu would be FF suicide IMO. Everything Swansea do involves him.

I can't understand why you'd drop a mid with four goals in four games either.

your defence needs a tweak or 2.

Clyne and Gunter are nothing players this year IMO. Reading are not going to be the defensive force they were in the Championship.

Clyne may get forward for a Saints side that likes to attack, but you just won't get the CS points this year with him.

Zabaleta is a no-go now IMO. if you want to get into City's defence, you'll have to spend on Kompany or Hart.

Forget about your midfield you need to look at changing Zabaleta and Gunter.
