Lemlin

I've gone ahead and picked a quick team to get this started:

Krul - 4.5
Mannone - 4.5

9 mil spent

Debuchy - 5.5
Baines - 7.0
Shaw - 6.0
Dunne - 4.5
O'Brien - 4.5

27.5 mil spent

Fabregas - 9 mil
Walcott - 9 mil
Sanchez - 10.5 mil
Odemwingie - 6.5
Shelvey -5.5

40.5 mil spent

Dzeko - 8.5
Bony - 8.5
Jelavic - 6.0

23 mil spent. That's a decent stab for a first team IMO. Players are underpriced compared to other seasons IMO.

Very strong IMO. Would leave Janmaat as somebody to bring in after a few weeks though. There will be 5 million defenders who make an earlier immediate impact than him.

1m in the bank. Thoughts? Not sure with two Newcastle players- was on the pelle dilemma or possibly squeezing dzeko in up top with RVP.

Rivière and Vaz Te are not good enough striking options for me. Whatever about Vaz Te if you're going 3-5-2 (still don't recommend it) having only one striker likely to find themselves in the goals is not a good strategy to me.

I had a 3-4-3/4-3-3 but just can't make my mind up about any strikers so this is the latest draft! Not entirely confident spending 12.5 for RVP...

any suggestions for other mid range strikers? I had another draft where I had Dzeko and RVP up top with more or less the same team

Ings, Austin, *insert West Ham striker here* and spells all have good claims for me.

improve on remy & shelvey.. ings maybe up front? or albrighton and soldado.

kronsington

This is mind as is.. Question marks over a lot of these guys and there's a lot of overlap with most teams here

Krul, Myhill
Debuchy, Zab? chambers, Bruce? Luis

Hazard, Ince?, Puncheon?, De Jong, Sanchez

RVP?, Remy?, Ings?

Alternatively, this is another one i just came up with

Krul Myhill
Debuchy Luis Zab Lovren Bruce
Hazard Sanchez Mata de Jong Albrighton
Giroud Dzeko Ings

Last post like this for a while. And thanks for reading!

Pretty satisfied with this team, any opinions?

Dietsquirt

Mannone

Terry, Filipe Luis, Debuchy

Fábregas, Eriksen, de Jong, Sánchez, Sigurdsson

Dzeko, Austin

Bench
Krul

Wisdom, Targett, Ings

I think 3-5-2 might definitely be worth considering. Swapping the 2 cheap forwards weekly depending on fixtures

Opinions?

Just thinking you might be valuing Fabregas a little too highly

I think he'll be an assist machine. He consistently set up goals his entire time at Barca and he has played more through balls in the Premier League than any other player over the past 5 years, despite having spent 3 of them playing in Spain.

I understand where your coming from though, I generally don't like paying much for 'new' players but I reckon Fabregas will fork out.

I you have no United players. None.

They have no players worth having that aren't overpriced. Literally, not even one. Defensively, they're a disaster. Mata is their only good midfielder and he, Rooney and Van Persie all cost too much for my liking.

De Gea is definitely a better option to start the season with than Howard IMO.

Looking at the fixtures, you might be right. He'll have to face a decent amount of shots behind that defence anyway.

With United playing 3-4-3, Shaw will bomb forward as a wing back. Rooney at 10.5 is a steal if he plays up front with RVP and Mata in the pocket behind.

Leave out United players at your own peril, imo. De Gea is a great shout too.

De Gea is the most obvious choice keeper I've ever seen in this game.

My honest opinion is playing more than one team is a waste of time and completely takes away from the fun of the whole thing.

IsMiseMyself

After that 7-0 drubbing, I think I might take a punt on Rooney. Van Gaal could do excellent things with this Utd squad.

I'm now at the point where I'm second-guessing my second-guessing and have no idea who's actually gonna make it into my week one XI. Think I'm gonna stop tinkering and just make changes the day before.

5. While there is no limit on the number of entries per household or organisation only one entry in respect of the Game per unique registered user of the Site is permitted (concerning which the decision of The Premier League shall be final).

I have 1 team per unique registered user

No, the rule is that while any amount of people from your household/organisation can enter, each individual user (you) can only have one team.

Any breach of that would definitely see you disqualified from the FSA competitions I'm involved in, had you been an entrant.

markcahill1985

So I can have Sanchez and Dzeko or Mata and Costa, really undecided? Have a feeling Alexis will be a must have

having seen Utd line up last night with Mata playing in the hole behind two strikers I think he will score big

Mr. Incognito

I was tinkering to get Rooney in and have to drop Mata and downgrade Terry to do it but it is possible to have

TEAM 1

_______________________Green/Speroni______________________

__________Luis______Vlaar (Tottenham I hope)____Shaw_____Debuchy__

________Ramsey______Arnie___________Sanchez_________________

________Dzeko_____________Rooney____________Costa_____________

Subs; Tiote, Wisdom, Albrighton

OR............................TEAM 2

____________________________Green/ Speroni___________________________

_______________Terry______Debuchy________Shaw_______________________

___Ramsey___________Sanchez____________Arnie______________Mata

____________Costa________Dzeko__________Nugent_______________

Subs: Albrighton, Vlaar, Wisdom

Team 1 or Team 2??

Only having one team makes you think more, you only have one chance. You become obsessive over your transfers. If there is a choice of four players you have to pick one, REALLY pick one. Not put one in each of your teams and declare yourself a genius when one comes off. Having the balls to punt on a player and it coming off is the thing that I respect the most around here.

It is not boring to have one team. It is the reason that we come here to chat and debate and become attached to our choices. Having more than one team gives you scope to cheat on those choices and the other players. You can post whatever rule you want but in the end you are only cheating on your own enjoyment of the game.

I would suggest that you try having one team and doing it properly and I guarantee you will enjoy it more than having four teams.

Sanchez and Dzeko looks better to me but i'm really trying to squeeze Costa in to my team too and its proving difficult. I think ill have to drop a Chelsea mid (Hazard/Fabregas undecided which one i want more) and settle for Sigurdsson.

Backstreet Moyes

Anybody think anything of his trying to fit Rooney in with the easy start and it looking like he will play up front.
