If you wanted to improve on your defence a little, you could downgrade Sanchez to Ramsey who could get off to a flyer as he wasn't involved in the World Cup. Also having 2 Swansea players is probably too much so I would say change Bony to another good striker, Giroud for example.
jebforever wrote: » Good team Paully. I was like you last year; contemplating going 3-5-2 before the season kicked off. In the end I ended up going 3-4-3 and will do the same this season. Overall that team is solid though and could fetch a decent total in GW1. I especially like the midfield and a strong lineup there is always crucial to a 3-5-2 setup. I wouldn't recommend going with 2 4m defs though so I would suggest Sanchez -> Ramsey and upgrade one of the 4m defenders and that would also allow you to go with a better striker but Bent looks a smart choice too.

Paully D wrote: » Cheers mate. Aye, I will no doubt back out and go 3-4-3 before the big kick-off but it's interesting to get opinions on some different line-ups/formations. I'd love to get a 3 striker line-up of Rooney, Dzeko and Bony considering Swansea's fixtures in weeks 2 and 3 (and 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 :pac:) but I'm set on a midfield 4 of Sanchez, Hazard, Eriksen and de Jong so I can't do it without really cheapening out on defence so much it becomes very weak.

De Gea and Shaw are their only guaranteed starters at the minute.DF: I've wrote a bit on Terry and Debuchy in my previous teams, both play for sides who should be there or thereabouts at the top of the clean sheet list at the end of the season, though I would expect Arsenal to regress from the 17 they kept last year. The new BP system should suit Debuchy. Spurs have one of the best starts of anyone in the league, they paid double figures for Davies to fill a problem spot for them, their new gaffer should tighten them up a bit and again, the BP system looks like favouring FB's.MF: Sanchez a risk as he's expensive and new to the league but a superb converter of chances and he should get plenty. He may even end up playing a bit as the main forward. More of a striker than a midfielder in any case. Hazard is Hazard, consistent from a FPL perspective as his hauls over the last two years show. Eriksen and De Jong should have their respective sides built around them and both take set pieces, Siguardsson also takes set pieces, will play off the main striker similar to De Jong and has a relatively nice start. He and De Jong are bargains at £6m and £7m respectively IMO.ST: You can't read too much into pre-season but Rooney looks sharp and van Gaal has said he's playing with 2 central strikers. With their start, you need some sort of Manchester United attacking coverage. Dzeko should get a leading role at the start what with Aguero's World Cup and injury niggles. City scored a mountain of goals last year no matter who they played against so despite a relatively difficult start I'm happy to have a striker of there's who will/should start at that price.Bench: GK - meh, De Gea will play every week when fit. DF - it'll be two £4.0m defenders who look like seeing game time. ST - no £5m will be a regular but Bent looks most likely to see game time at the beginning. It can be re-evaluated after a few weeks as I usually look to the wildcard on that first international break or soon after anyway which usually causes a dramatic shift in my team.Overall Well, what started as a bit of a mess around I've come to like quite a bit. The main reason for going experimenting with 5 in midfield is that I just don't trust any of the £6.0m strikers all that much. For example, it could be Wickham or Fletcher up front for Sunderland. I'm far from convinced on Jelavic or Long at Hull. Austin, Ideye, Ulloa and Ings have never kicked a ball at this level. I think all 5 of those midfielders should have significant and prominent roles for their sides this season. Plenty of set pieces and playing close to the striker too. Critique and comment more than appreciated!

I think he should play every game so i am going for a keeper for 4.0.Defenders I want Chelsea coverage and i think Luis will be a first team regular and should score high in a solid defence. Davies for 5.0 i think is obvious in strong organised team which should keep clean sheets. Targett 4.0 again i don't know if he will be a starter but i am going to take a chance he is highly rated. O Shea 4.5 he scored 101 last season and again Sunderland look solid. Wisdom 4.0 should be a starter and can be rotated. So with 3 at the back i will rotate Wisdom, O Shea and Targett according to fixtures.Midfield Not much needs to be said really. I think all of them will score heavy and i depend on them too.Strikers Rooney i think is a bargain and Dzeko should start the season as a regular. Bojan is a punt and a risk but i will be benching him. I will probably end up changing it loads of times but this is my latest effort.
