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.

Sorry man, my bad.

DeGea (Krul)

Davies, Luis, Chambers (Targett,Wisdom)

Hazard, Eriksen, Mata, Sanchez, Siggy

Bojan, Rooney (Ings) - the idea is to rotate Ings and Bojan based on fixtures

You can save money by playing Krul with Mannone or De Gea with a 4.0m reserve keeper.

Think I'm getting near finished. Not sure about four at the back though...

Do you think Van Anholt has nailed down a spot? I don't know much about Sunderland players but currently have O'Shea in there as they rotate well with other players on my team. He got 5 goals/3 assists last year for Vitesse which is a better return than O'Shea. Does he get forward a bit from left back? If he looks like starting I would happily swap.

Barring the signing of another LB (Marcos Alonso) he should be nailed on.

Scratch that, just saw the FFS article - he's in. http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2014/07/30/moving-target-patrick-van-aanholt/

Yeah, I was surprised by his lack of ownership considering he has shown he can get forward. Hoping he creeps in under the radar come game week and nets me a few points.

Any recommendations for a 4.5m that gets forward then? I was considering Vlaar but unsure if he's really worth it.

RE: Jovetic, It's a risk I'm willing to take given the striker drought at City right now due to injury and his pre-season form (which netted 5 goals I think). We'll see in the Community Shield who plays and that should give a better idea.

Ok, here we go again.

Nice team, I have 6 or 7 of the same starting 11, although I would be wary of spending £7m on De Jong and having him on your bench... even against City. Jovetic is too much of a gamble for me, and you have two Leicester defenders which I wouldn't go near with their fixtures. If Jovetic doesn't play you are basically playing with the bare 11, and if you are forced to play either Leicester defender you could easily pull in minus figures. There are much better options than De Laet.

This is what I have gone with as a first attempt. No cash left in the bank. Any comments/points for improvement would be great. Thanks.

It's looks like from pre-season he will be playing in the hole so not sure what this does to Eriken's prospects.

Good article here...
http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/aug/07/erik-lamela-tottenham-hotspur-mauricio-pochettino

“It depends on the situation whether Erik will play as the No10 or wide,” Pochettino mused. “My philosophy is to give a free style with a good organisation and not only with Erik, with other players. The most important thing is to create a good shape for our players to be comfortable and to show their real qualities"

Naismith will get game time, not a starter but generally comes on for us on 65-70 mins. Good for the odd goal. Id wait until week 7-8 if your thinking of putting him in.
Horrible start

Well, it could be any 5.0 striker. I already have Costa and Rooney starting so it wouldn't be a big issue I don't think...

Okay. I guess your question is hard to answer without seeing the rest of your squad. Personally I'd never pick a player who's not starting for his team. It just leaves you in a hole and you need to use transfers to dig your way out of it.

Vlaar, Luis, Naismith

or

Ward, Davies, Bojan

Can't decide...

Krul/Myhill
Debuchy Filip Luis Moore (Subs Ward/Dummett)
Henderson Mata Nasri Ramsey Barkley(TBC)
Rooney Giroud Weimann(Sub)

Anybody giving serious consideration to Lamela? Have neither him or Eriksen in at the moment but my gut for a differential would be Lamela, especially if he plays in the hole again this weekend.

3-5-2,anyone? Trying to fit Lamela in but I want Siggy too, is this a suitable comprise?

MagicIRL

Ok, here we go again. I've made some slight changes to the team. Trying to get the most points, but at the same time, trying to get that differential to separate my team from the rest.

Goalkeeper: I was toying with the idea of rotating de Gea (5.5) and a 4.5m 'keeper, but decided I would chance my arm for that extra .5m. I ran with the single keeper last season, dropping him for a new #1 as fixtures changed and it seemed to work out well.

Defenders: Filipe Luis (6.0), Van Aanholt (4.5) and Davies (5.0) are all full backs. This should give me the chance for each of them to get forward and score some points on the attack as well as on defence. (Moore and de Laet are my reserves at 4.0 and 4.5, giving me a covering full back and a panic CB, in-case things go really bad injury wise [Note that de Laet will always be ahead of Moore in the subs list, the pic is wrong :pac:)

Midfield: The big guns of Mata (9.0), Sánchez (10.5) and Hazard (10.0) should provide a bucket load of points, and seem to be making up the majority of teams. I've gone with Sigurdsson (6.0) and de Jong (7.0) as my two riskier choices. Hoping they're the differential in my team.

Attack: Rooney (10.5) is in 40% of teams and going by his pre-season form, and the fact he's playing as a striker under LvG, he's going to score and score and score. Paired him with Jovetic (8.0) who's also on fire in pre-season. With Aguero and Negredo out injured, he's a risk I'm willing to take. Finally I've gone with Bojan (5.5) at Stoke. Stoke have incredible opening fixtures, and I think Bojan can score very well here. Perhaps a bit of a Michu/Ramsey about him, starting out so low at 5.5m. Again, he's netted in pre-season so he's finding his form early on.

This thing of posting your team in here, but then responding to advice/criticism with 'this is how I play the game and I've done well in this game before' is going my nut in by the way.

Why would you post your team in a thread like this if you had already decided that you were ****hot and destined to do amazing?

You appear to have selected 5 defenders who won't start....

I have always gone with a weak defense...well deemed to be weak. I only ever play 3 defenders so no point splashing out on players that I might bench. I chop and change too but invest the majority in midfield and up front. Those tactics have stood me well throughout the years. Think I finished 91 in the boards.ie league last season. Lookin to improve on that this year

Ok. Being weak in defence is one thing. Being weak in defence and up front is another entirely.

Defensively you're not in a great place there. Which isn't good when you consider you've only one big striker. Have you left over value in your team? That doesn't seem like a team that would fill the 100m
