The thing I like about this team is being able to rotate Bojan and Sigurdsson depending on fixtures. It contains very few differentials though, and am beginning to think I should move some money around and try to get Costa in for Dzeko. Any thoughts would be great.

For the Sturridge owners, has anyone considered buying Sterling in MF instead?

Have Coutinho as well going into GW1. Although that's as much down to finding it hard to decide who to pick from the off with a max price of 8M. Personally think Liverpool will score a lot of goals again, so Sterling/Coutinho AND Sturridge could prove good value, if not straight away, then certainly from GW4 when they have a very tempting fixture list right up to around GW15

Cech,
Shaw, Flanagan, Ferdinand,
Paulinho, Coutinho, Hazard, Mata
Ings,Rooney, Lambert

To be honest im not too sure of Flanagan and rooney.......midfield is solid i think coutinho is going to be the surprise this year having watched his preseason tour i was more than impressed with him.....

WHAT????

There is big £28mil tank i could think of ahead of Naismith

Lukaku is injured/not match fit for the first few games. He won't be starting. Naismith will.

And maybe I should of been more clearer, this was for the first 3 games until the international break where I will intend to ship him out

djPSB · 12-08-2014 06:52PM

Thoughts?

Some points to note;
- Vlaar and Bartley selected to interchange with Lovren/Bardsley for difficult fixtures at start of season.
- Slightly worried about Chelsea's overload of central defenders so went with Luis ahead of Terry.

Too much Liverpool, and that's coming from a Pool fan. Wouldn't have anyone from Liverpool's defence to begin with as we have a tough start. Lambert is only going to be a bit player/impact sub so wouldn't fancy having him in my front 3! Coutinho is a good option though.

You're not sure about Rooney? With there opening 8 fixtures and RVP not fit yet you'd be mad not to.

I don't think I'd go with Cech. Once Courtois is fit I think he'll be the number 1 for the season.

I think Naughton is a better punt at 4.5m than Chambers. Rumors that Koscielny might miss Palace and with Per already out, I wouldn't say we're guaranteed to keep a cleanie.

Also, Rooney is running away with the captaincy poll on FFS currently so Giroud(c) is a bit of a risk

Oops, thanks for pointing out Giroud. Complete accident. Not a hope is he getting captaincy! :pac:

You've completely overspent on defence in that case imo.
You can get Rooney in for Dzeko if you downgrade 2 of them.

Vlaar could end up at united – cute pick but risky for a week or two.

I have no idea where the hell you got that idea from there is absolutely no chance United are going to sign Vlaar. Like I would honestly bet my car on him not signing during this window.

FSA, you can hold me to this. If Vlaar signs for Manchester United YOU can decide what transfers I make week after week. YOU can pick my whole team.

Henwin · 12-08-2014 08:18PM

Mark 2 has Long a chance of playing?

basillarkin · 12-08-2014 09:44PM

Although villa don't have great opening fixtures, I expect them to be a lot more tight at the back this season.

Guzan is a decent keeper

Vlaar and the returning Okore are a massive step up on Clark and Baker. Cissisoko at LB will be an improvement also. Hutton and lowton to fight it out for the RB spot. Added to this hopefully will be the signing of Sanchez who will be a massive improvement as the DM

Jimmy Iovine · 12-08-2014 10:03PM

First proper draft. Opinions?

aligator_am · 12-08-2014 10:17PM

Not certain of it just yet so any opinions or advice would be welcome

GillespieRoad · 12-08-2014 10:52PM

Right lads, this is the team with £1m left in reserve. I am not exactly pleased with it. Bojan needs to go as he is not a consistent goalscorer by any means, but I can right work out for who. I'm also a bit unsure on the defense and my second keeper. Any thoughts?

To answer my own question Shane Long is set to sign for Southampton for 12m think I will take a chance on him. http://www.ftbpro.com/posts/joe.cooper/1172259/southampton-agree-12m-fee-for-hull-city-s-shane-long

Debuchy Lovren Kelly (palace)
Mata Fabregas Ramsey Mutch
Costa Dzeko Rooney (c)

Paulinho hasn't had any of a preseason so I wouldn't be selecting him. He may well start, but it's a big gamble. If you're looking for a Spurs mid you'd be better off with Lamela or Eriksen. If you want a cheaper option, Lewis Holtby would be a better bet than Paulinho. He has played well in pre-season and could be part of Poch's plans. Although, you'd probably be better off with Siggy, a favorite around here.

As people have mentioned before, Everton have a tough start so would recommend DDG over Howard. Same goes for Barkely.

It's too red. Make it less red.

Rosco79 · 13-08-2014 09:08AM

Is Davies going to take the full back place for Spurs? He isnt starting pre season games....

Hackers · 13-08-2014 10:28AM

Opinions welcome on the below:

Krul ( Elliot)
Terry, Evans, Debuchy ( Chester, Moore)
Mata, Sanchez, Hazard, Ireland ( King)
Fletcher, Rooney, Costa

Obviously the goalkeeper situation is dodgy but I am willing to go with it until it becomes clear who will be 1st choice for Sunderland.

Ireland is a big gamble but willing to take a chance there, 5.0 could represent serious value.

No liverpool /City coverage an issue but you cant have it all, will bring a player form each in once their fixtures get easier after a few weeks.

LightningBlue · 13-08-2014 10:28AM

Which team would you go with out of these, A or B?

Team A: (3-4-3)

Begovic
Terry - Chester - van Aanholt
Sigurdsson - Ramsey - Fábregas - Mata
Giroud - Rooney - Diego Costa

Subs: Elliot, Coloccini, Faurlin, Wisdom

Team B: (3-5-2)

Begovic
Evans - Coloccini - Ferdinand
Ramsey - Hazard - Mata - Eriksen - Sigurdsson
Rooney - Diego Costa

Subs: Elliot, Duff, Wisdom, Fletcher (SUN)
