right, last :rolleyes: few changes unless people start getting injured

Why Reid? Surely Coleman or O'Shea would be better?

Unless you have a specific reason for picking him that you're not sharing

Edit: Otherwise I like it

Edit two: Could downgrade Silva to Yaya Toure to save 0.5 and upgrade your defence. I don't hold much faith in Toure or Reid (More so West Ham)

x43r0 · 14-08-2013 05:02PM

FYI for anyone worried about Sturridge, I heard he played in a 'closed doors' friendly last night and scroed twice so should be good to start at the weekend

West Ham have very favourable fixtures, kept more than their fair share of cleansheets last season, and teams under Allardyce are generally solid defensively, especially at home.

Also, Sunderland have a relatively tough start, with lots of tricky away games as well as Arsenal, Liverpool and United all before GW7.

Giroud has been banging them in in pre-season tbf. I'll probably get him after gw3

Right lads, great to have this back, I've put together a team quickly just now, here it is!

Cech, Westwood

Brayford, Toure, Coleman, Cuellar, Terry

Walcott, Hazard, Mirallas, YaYa, Huddlestone

Sturridge, Soldado, Anelka.

.5 left in the bank, will probably downgrade defence once the 4m starters become more obvious, Bale to replace Hazard probably if the situation sorts itself.
Anyway I think its not a bad starting team. What ye think? Haven't read the other threads here yet, so much to get through, ye really are a sad bunch of f##ckers:P

Great to have you back Swiper. Sad f##ckers you say? From the man who joined me in the Lions game :pac: I'll be reigning champion for 4 whole years now

I wouldn't be picking Cuellar myself especially when a certain Mickey Turner is available. The reasoning being I think Wes Brown could be 1st choice alongside O'Shea, Sunderland's start isn't the greatest and Norwich should be relatively solid and have better fixtures.

Huddlestone's a good shout as of today, a clever move from Hull. I'd have said it'd make Koren even more appealing with Hud feeding him balls.

Also I think Yaya is way overpriced although I've never taken to him in FPL terms. Do you have some cash lying spare as with no RVP or Bale Anelka looks a little out of place in an otherwise decent looking team

Thank you sir!
I figured not having Mickey T would be a differential around here:pac:

I like Sunderlands start so gone for Cuellar but shouldn't actually need to use him

Indeed YaYa was the one I was most concerned about but I've a feeling he could be a danger in the box now that Fernandinho will hold the middle.
I've only .5m to upgrade Anelka, I'd like Berba and will probably make the space for him early on.
I've only done it in the last few hours so there'll be changes made no doubt.

Yeah I actually thought Sunderland's was worse, still wouldn't have any idea what they'll do under Di Canio. Mickey T is pretty much marmite at this stage I think in here :pac:

Yeah it's hard to know, a lot seem to fancy Coutinho and I'd have him myself but I've succumbed to RVP's charms as things stand. WBA have signed Vydra this week though so a potential rotation option with Anelka there.

Would it be fair to say you'll be downgrading Cech after the first week or two? As that would free up cash down the line alright.

Any Spurs players you'd recommend outside of Soldado who explains himself?

Swiper the fox · 14-08-2013 05:41PM

Too much choice at Spurs to see any value yet, I don't think I'd have a clue who will be in and out of favour by week 4 or 5, Paulinho will certainly be there and he could be a danger, Dawson is still great value this year as AVB clearly rates him but I think Kaboul will take his place in time, Kaboul will have more of an attacking threat as well, this is assuming they don't sign anyone else.

I'm ready to downgrade any of my back 8 to free up money, just waiting to find the guaranteed starters.

Reservations at Dorsia · 14-08-2013 05:58PM

While Verthongens injured, Dawson is great value

Dont be at yourself · 14-08-2013 06:17PM

Mignolet (Boruc)
Toure, Ivanovic, Jenkinson, Vlaar (Coleman)
Hazard, Walcott, Coutinho (Shelvey, Morrison)
Soldado, Benteke, Bony

Mignolet is nailed on to start for a club with a tight defence. His price still reflects his Sunderland price, but I'd expect him to provide good value.

In Toure and Ivanovic, I have guaranteed starters in two tight defences, and hopefully Jenkinson will hold down a spot as well. Vlaar in for the double gameweek, but I'll rotate him with Coleman, who'll hopefully provide quite an attacking threat under Martinez.

Hazard, Walcott and Coutinho again are three creative guaranteed starters in attacking teams. Hazard has the double gameweek, and Walcott should be classed as a forward. Question marks over both Shelvey and Morrison to hold down first team places, but there's big potential for both of them to rise in price if they do.

Soldado is a no-brainer for me; he's the only top-class striker at one of the top clubs in the league. Benteke is also the focal point for his team. Bit of a gamble on Bony, but hoping it will come off.

darego · 14-08-2013 06:24PM

jenkinson will not start most weeks, sagna will be first choice week in week out in the premiership

F1ngers · 14-08-2013 06:33PM

I think I'm going to settle on this lineup:

Lukaku to Berbatov after GW1.
Oscar to Nolan after GW2.
With the 2m I've saved I will invest into defense to improve rotation coverage.
I plan on keeping Hazard for the season, so he'll be benched for GW3.

Whenever I get a chance I'll get a playing 4m keeper to cover Mignolet, but that's low priority.
All this goes out the window if RVP hits the ground running.

From what I can gather my bench will play bar Davis.

If there are more nailed on 4m defenders then please advise.

Had Morrison(WHam) as my 4.5 mid, but with the arrival of Downing he may be further down the pecking order.

It's a 12 hour flight to and from Japan that's a full day travelling , that's bound to affect anybody never mind a professional footballer . I don't think he started many games last season after coming back from International duty .

the biggest problem is sleep after a midweek evening game. The adrenalin is pumping and players complain they generally cant get a proper nights sleep. If utd want him they will fly him back asap and he will be as fresh as most players come training friday morning. He didnt really start many games last year anyway so we have nothing to go on. I think he will start and didnt play sunday as his game today was kicking off before all other international games aswell as the travelling he had to undertake. Im not advocating picking him I just think if moyes rates him he will start as he has 10 hours more recovery time over most players. Im sure moyes picked tim cahill after international games.

Not sure if Mata will start on Saturday after his international

RB100 · 14-08-2013 07:23PM

Set up my team last night but have a few concerns.

Will Ivanovich play or is Cole safer bet?
Navas or Silva?
Bellemy or sterling?

Also does Vorm still start for Swansea?

http://gyazo.com/6c0bde36c4f3fbabfd4e9f49d28b4878

O'Brien - GW1 to Pieters GW2 back for GW3
Mert - GW1 to Coleman GW2 back for GW3
Torre - GW1/2 to Coleman GW3

Cazorla - GW1/2/3
Hazard - GW1 to Koren GW2/3 Bit of a gamble
Schneiderlin - GW1/2/3
Hoolahan - GW1/2/3

Anelka - GW1/2/3
RVP - GW1-38 hopefully
Lukaku GW1 Transfer to Kone or Jelavic GW2/3

Comments on a post card or here if you prefer .

Are you thinking of keeping your 3 strikers? I don't think they will give you as many returns as if you had at least on big striker such as RVP. Maybe downgrade one of your mids for better forward?

Thanks for the feedback. I had considered it but who is a better forward that will get points.... Anelka as a forward is only 5.5m which is cheap and he's the back up.

Torres - I'm not convinced he'll fire this season either

Robin V P - would love to but hes just to expensive I think the stronger mid field will hold up more point in the first few weeks esp given Utds tough start to the season though I might try to bring him in after a while if I can.

Rooney - at Utd he'll not be the main striker so see him as good but not great and not certain to get lots of points. Funnily if he moved to chelsea id be more inclined to bring him in.
