He should start each game, scores goals, gets assists and nearly always puts in a MotM performance. Barkley and Coutinho I think are two young players who are going to have very good seasons and I've Siggy on the bench. Leaving him there for the United game as I want to see how Zarate does. Nothing against Ramsey or Eriksen I just went with who I think will do better. In saying that my whole team could change 20 times by Saturday morning.

I don't particularly rate Monk but a lad I know supports Swansea and reckons he's a great coach and that the Spanish players like Michu have been cleared out because they were causing problems last season. My friend watched every game of theirs last year and has both Siggy and Bony in his team. He reckons Bony was the first name on his team sheet. I'd have no worries except your subs. Albrighton could be out for a few weeks and Wisdom may not start. I've also gone with Fab over Hazard for reasons outlined above.

I know Azpilicueta is a natural right back but I can see a lot of rotation between the Chelsea full backs this season.

(I have no other Chelsea or ManU defence/GK as well) Leaning towards the latter since I think Southampton could be in for a hiding GW1 and I would want Studge in my squad eventually anyway. But I would probably captain Costa GW2 and Chelsea's defence is much more proven at cleanies than ManU's

Instead of having 3 heavy hitting mids and Siggy, I have 2 and more importantly the 3 best options up front. If one of the front 3 isn't working out then I can easily downgrade and bring in a mid. QPR and Chelsea rotate so Hoilett and Matic could play every 2nd week or whoever the best fit is. I'm still trying to see if there's a better combo of those 3 mids but for now that's where I'm at.
