No need for Krul when you have De Gea.
2 x £4m defenders will hurt you, especially with a £4.5m midfielder to boot. None are guaranteed to play
Dzeko not guaranteed to start
Huth not guaranteed to start
Ward definitely not worth £5m

I would give it another major overhaul! Think you could struggle to have 11 starters in that team for GW1.

OK. Cheers. Might even go back to last team that a couple on here thought was decent enough. This is head wrecking!!

I originally had Begovic and Krul with Evans as United cover but Evans is injured now......

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

He will 100% be our left back for Saturday

markcahill1985 · 13-08-2014 12:45PM

Only one last decision for me to make - Ramsey or Cesc?

Already have Alexis Sanchez in team.

GiftofGab · 13-08-2014 12:47PM

Are people taking a chance on Evans for Saturday? If not, then who to get in?

had him in my team but swapped him for Jones this morning - will wait and see what LVg says in presser friday before changing

dahat · 13-08-2014 12:54PM

Silva and Coutinho or Hazard and Siggy?

HHazard at 10.00 is killing me, would love the extra 1.0

OneColdHand · 13-08-2014 01:21PM

Ok this is where I am at the minute:

Krul

Cahill - Debuchy - Jones/Evans

Eriksen - Mata - Ramsey - Fabregas

Rooney - Bojan - Giroud

Bench: Hamer, Siggy, Bruce, Wisdom
Bank: 0.5m

My main concern is not having Costa. I think he'll do well. Best way to get him in is to upgrade Giroud. So essentially it would be a case of

A. Cahill + Giroud
vs
B. Pieters (say) + Costa

The option is to downgrade Siggy for a 4.5 mid. On paper this would give me a good looking first 11 for GW1. However, that would mean that Bojan would be playing every week, where previously I had intended rotating him with Siggy based on fixtures.

Decisions, decisions!

Wile E. Coyote · 13-08-2014 01:31PM

567th Draft....I'm beginning to remember why I stopped playing this game

De Gea
Lovren, Azpilicueta, O'Shea
Eriksen, Coutinho, Mata, Sigurdsson
Giroud, Rooney, Sturridge

Myhill, Bruce, El Ahmadi, Wisdom

Recommendations and thoughts please. €0.5mil in the bank and considering swapping out Sturridge for Costa and bringing in Ramsey for Coutinho. Maybe Lovren out and the extra €0.5 towards another €6mil defender?

Dietsquirt · 13-08-2014 02:21PM

De Gea

Davies, Terry, Chambers

Hazard, Sigurdsson, Mata, Sánchez

Costa, Bojan, Rooney

Bench: James, Bruce, Wisdom

I think i'm settling for this, worried not having Eriksen/Ramsay. Is Chambers risky?

Surely Costa is a must not for everyone?!

MikeCork2009 · 13-08-2014 02:35PM

Happy with this. All monies used and hopeful of a flying start

i didnt take costa for one reason, he is a lazy runner gets nice goals but reminds me of bebatov if he worked harder he could be unreal!

HighClass · 13-08-2014 03:19PM

Pretty sure this is going to be the final team!

Mannone
Debuchy, OShea, Ward
Mata, Ramsey, Nasri, Sterling, Fabregas
Rooney, Giroud

Myhill, Bojan, Long, Moore

Only change I might make is swapping out Sterling/Long for Sigurdsson/Terry. Want to have some Liverpool cover though, can see them scoring big against Southampton.

roryc · 13-08-2014 03:57PM

Southampton haven't conceded in their last 4 friendlies and have just spent another £6m signing Florin Gardos from Steaua Bucharest. They may have sold half their squad (most notably Lovren, Shaw, Lallana and Lambert) but they don't look any worse for it!

Is Huth (5.0) not as likely to start as Pieters (5.0)? Pieters and Muinesa have shared time at LB over pre-season. Huth shared game time with Wilson as far as I know.

Re: Ward not being worth 5.0: Pulis' defenses are usually fairly solid. I would expect them to keep more than their fair share of cleansheets this season.

Greencrack · 13-08-2014 04:02PM

After much tinkering I've arrived at this.

De Gea
Terry, Chambers, Luis
Eriksen, Ramsey, Mata, Sterling
Rooney, Costa, Bojan

Gilks, Wisdom, Hutton, King

Goalkeeper: De Gea all the way for the foreseeable future.

Defense: I've gone with the Chelsea double threat of Terry and Luis. Not sure if this is the greatest idea as it leaves the rest of my defense weak as well as having a lack of coverage.

Midfield: Happy with my coverage here despite the lack of city player. I'm hoping Sterling will make up for not having Sturridge. I think Ramsey is the better choice over Sanchez for the start of the season anyway.

Forwards: Hoping both Rooney and Costa will get me at least one goal a piece. Can't make up my mind who to make captain between the two of them. Probably won't decide till the day.

What do you guys think? Especially about my defense.

You'd better get a Palace player in so

Wilson is likely to start this weekend ahead of Huth. I think he'll ease Huth back into the first team eventaully.

I didn't lay that out very well.

The first sentence related to the comment about Huth not being nailed on.

The second one about Pulis, was in relation to the comment that Ward wasn't worth 5.0. I already have a Palace defender.

No, my bad. I read it back again and can see why you picked it up like that.

I better edit it.

You're putting a lot of eggs in a one, blue basket defence-wise. Chambers is unlikely to start after GW2 when Per is back to match fitness. If I were you I'd downgrade Terry and up grade Chambers to Debuchy for an extra mill.

Iused2likebusts · 13-08-2014 04:54PM

Mr prodston and manual mans big money strikeforce idea Im finding hard to shake.Have come up with this.
Begovic ( given)
Chambers Van aanholt Dunne ( hutton, collocini)
Rodwell Mata fabregas ramsey ( marney)
Costa Sturridge Rooney

Benimar · 13-08-2014 04:55PM

Thinking of:

DeGea/Hamer
Terry/Bardsley/N.Taylor/Collocini/Bruce
Mata/Fabregas/Ramsey/Siggy/Henderson
Rooney/Costa/Austin

GK: Play DeGea every week. Hamer has low ownership so less fear of a price drop.
DEF: Terry the 'big hitter'. Stoke/Swansea and Newcastle/Hull rotate perfectly for first 6 weeks. Bruce slightly risky but going to chance him.
MID: First 3 speak for themselves. Siggy at the price is too good to ignore. Henderson is my 'punt'. Two goals in preseason (along with a few towards the end of last season) gives me hope he might be 'Ramsey light' this season.
FOR: Rooney and Costa are obvious picks. Going with Austin as my cheapie, QPR have a decent start and Austin has goals in him.

All opinions/criticisms/upgrades welcome.

Backstreet Moyes · 13-08-2014 05:00PM

Anybody got any opinion's looking to squeeze in United and Chelsea coverage for the start of the season.

whatawaster · 13-08-2014 05:01PM

I'd appreciate some feedback on this team:

GK: Krul, Mannone

Def: Debuchy, Phil Jones, Vlaar, Wisdom, Bruce

Mid: Ramsey, Mata, Sterling, Henderson, El Ahmadi

Str: Rooney, Costa, Giroud.

Thanks!

Downgrade Baines (terrible fixtures and very expensive) and upgrade your bench or 3rd striker.

There are better options than Vlaar at 4.5. Villa are going to be terrible.

Other than that its a strong team but I wouldn't be a fan of two Liverpool midfielders given their opening fixtures.

My plan would be to take Sterling out after week 1 and bring in someone like Eriksen or Lamela. I have 0.5m to play about with so may look to upgrade Vlaar. Thanks.
