Wenger said he'll be playing him up front, too big a risk not to have him IMO
I disagree, he's essentially the same price as Hazard and I don't think it's possible to fit both in without some serious compromising. Compare Chelseas start with the arsenals, and take into account that Hazard is already settled in the league, and is now on penalties.
It's actually a risk not having Hazard, imo.0 -

Did Wenger not say he'd play on wing till Walcott came back at least?
http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/20140718/wenger-alexis-will-thrive-in-englandAt the moment he might play on the flank because Walcott is injured. As well [he can play] through the middle in some games; we can play with Giroud, we can play without Giroud in a 4-4-2 or in a 4-3-3.
That's why he is a major signing for us [and] that's why we spend a lot of money on him. He has the quality to be efficient everywhere he plays.0 -

Draft number 3,467 I think at this stage.
Was planning on going with three strong strikers to start with but apart from Rooney there aren't any premium strikers looking like must-haves at the moment. 3 Chelsea and United to go along with their favourable opening fixtures.
Anyone care to give their thoughts on this effort?

Right, probably my 4th or 5th draft at this stage. Not overly happy with my defence by very happy with midfield and forwards. I could downgrade Sanchez to Ramsey or Sterling to Sigurdson and upgrade my defenders but not sure Im going to do that.
Any thoughts or ideas?

Costa has bur, LEI, eve, SWA. Eriksen has wham, QPR, LIV, sun.
Sanchez / giroud have CPA, eve, lei, MCI. dzeko's first 4 are even tougher, and he's not even guaranteed to start?
Goes down to personal choice then, and I'm aware that it really should be focused on the first few weeks. FYI - if you make it first 3 weeks then Sanchez has Palace, Everton, Leicester, and if you go to 5 weeks then Costa would face City (A)... I'll give you the benefit of selective stats there!
IMO Sanchez + Giroud should outscore Costa + Eriksen over the first 'few' weeks, whether that be 3, 4 or 5. Essentially the first week is by far the most important as many will WC immediately. As for Dzeko, if its clear who will nail down a spot for the first few games between himself and Jovetic then they need to be considered as a replacement for Giroud.
I'm wary of Costa... this guy is 25 you say!

Here's my latest iteration:
The Bojan Warrior is there for now just because he's flavour of the week and he rotates well with Siggy if Hoilett were to become undroppable :P
I like it. I know there's a fair bit invested in defenders but I might be able to downgrade some of them before GW1 to cheaper counterparts and then get to reinvest that. Bojan could look like Jovetic or Dzeko/Jovetic at a push
I've just got a feeling about the QPR/Palace and Swansea/Stoke rotation right now.0 -

It does come down to personal opinion, though. I reckon Costa couldn't have been handed an easier start than he has been given. I seriously think he'll get 4+ goals in the opening two matches. Hazard will likely be involved in a fair few of Chelseas points haul too.
Sanchez will score pts for arsenal, undoubtedly, but I was saying earlier that I can't afford both...... Or can I? Maybe I'll have a bash at a team containing hazard, sanchez, Mata, Costa, Rooney.
Unlikely you can fit all of them in. I've had a play around based on what you said, and it would be the difference between the below two teams for me. You could definitely argue the merits of either for the first few GW's. Sanchez OOP is very difficult to ignore, and Ramsey is overpriced unless he continues his form from last season. He had never scored more than 3 goals a season prior to last! As a pro to option 2 below, I would fit in forum favourite BOJAN...

Well... With all this talk of Sanchez and Bojan I said I'd have a look at them and 2 hours later here I am.
3-5-2 or a 4-5-1 formation, defence is in bits but I've selected Hazard & Ramsey instead of Fab & Santi for this edit... That 1.5 may be put to better use at the back.
I'm a bit worried, I kinda like this team (with the above change).
But I think I'm gonna go straight back and reset it to where it was.
Wow. That's the most spectacular looking midfield I've seen. Obvious trade off being you have to pick Bojan or cheap 4th def EVERY week. Still, could work tho 0
