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.

Mr.Prodston

I was in the middle of explaining my team when I realised I didn't like it and had to go back and fix it :pac: Anyway here is the current draft, however long this one lasts. Mainly playing with goalkeepers and defenders and my 8.0 mid:

GK: De Gea and Hamer. It'll be Hamertime if I'm relying on my backup.

Def: I'm still not convinced about my defenders at all. I think I'll stay away from Chelsea until a clearer pattern emerges. I fancy QPR to be tight enough at the back and Caulker gets goals. Clyne may be a bit of a splurge but I fancy them to do well from week 2 on. Bardlsey for Stoke's fixtures and the Tyne-Wear pair for security of starts and decent rotation.

Mid: Ramsey, Mata and Fabregas are what they are and I'm very content right now. Coutinho could be any other 8.0 mid namely Eriksen or Lamela or I rip it up and put in Arnie and Siggy. Marney 5th mid to grab me 2 points and no temptation.

For: Rooney and Costa explain themselves. I've backed away from Studge for now. Listening to my initial reaction of Austin being my 3rd forward. He's been in good form in pre-season and leading QPR's line with decent fixtures.

I have the spine of my team so there's no panic but of those I haven't decided on I really haven't decided on. As I type the Arnie/Siggy combo makes more sense over the 8.0 mid.

SUBS- MYHILL, BRUCE, WISDOM, RODWELL

Thoughts?
Im probably weak at the back and bench?

Plan is to change chambers to 5m rated defender after first week

Have you 0.5 in the bank to do that transfer?
If not, it'll cost you 4 points and I would switch Rodwell to a 4.5m midfielder and keep the 0.5 for that transfer.

Some may say planning a transfer after GW1 is crazy, planning one that cost you 4 points would be madness.

Sanchez, Mata, Siggy, Johnson (McCarthy)

Costa, Rooney (Vaz Te)

All thoughts appreciated!!

Don't know about Sanchez I would rather go for Ramsey or Cazorla and upgrade Vaz te to either Bojan or Zarate ( if you want to go for a WHU striker )

Does anyone know if Cameron will start for Stoke? Have him in my team at the moment but want to make sure he'll actually play.

Amazingly my team hasn't changed much in well over a week. Usually I'm tinkering until the last minute. It seems like a lot of people have pretty similar teams with a few differences - Hazard + Ramsey instead of Sanchez + Fabregas, Fletcher instead of Bojan etc. There is so little between these choices and this is where luck comes into it! Just gotta hope you fall on the right side of it.

Here's a thought though. I wonder if everyone can contain their excitement and set a precedent of not starting the Matchday thread until after 6am on the Saturday? I have no idea why but it frustrates the life out of me when people set them up the night before.... It's like it should be a gift to those who have to get up early at the weekend due to kids/work etc

Note: I am never up at 6am on a Saturday... sometimes still out at that time but I'm hardly in any fit state to be posting about FF!

Thoughts on this team? Attack and midfield is strong enough imo but defence could be stronger

Cameron's a bit iffy, Stoke's back four are a bit up in the air.

But Sidwell's an awesome shout! First team I've seen with him in and I'm now very tempted to stick him in instead of Young.

Team settled now, Rodwell is my 5th

mid now.

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? Thanks

Has Bojan or Fletcher done much in pre season?

Re Sidwell:

Latest News…Mark Hughes will be expected to parade a number of new additions when Stoke entertain Villa on the opening weekend. Mame Biram Diouf looks likely to lead the line ahead of Peter Crouch, having featured prominently in pre-season. Behind the Senegalese striker, Bojan Krkic could also be set for his Premier League bow, with Marko Arnautovic, Peter Odemwingie and Stephen Ireland battling it out for the remaining two places. The central midfield berths look likely to be handed to Glenn Whelan and Steven Nzonzi, though new signing Steve Sidwell will also be a consideration to make his debut. In defence, Hughes faces a dilemma over Ryan Shawcross’ central defensive partner - Marc Wilson is the favourite, having featured strongly alongside the Stoke captain in pre-season. Robert Huth, Marc Muniesa and Geoff Cameron remain alternative options, though the latter may be forced to wait a little longer to start after his late return from the World Cup with the USA. New signing Phil Bardsley could also be handed his debut at right-back, with Pieters and Muniesa vying for the left-back role.

Fletcher for Bojan? Prove goalscorer at this level, playing for a mid-table side with a decent enough run of fixtures....

Think this is my final team. Bit freaked out not having a Chelsea defender but that allowed me to bring Fabregas back in. Any feedback would be very welcome.

Guffy

Tinkered with my first draft, any feedback guys? 1 mill in bank.

IsMiseMyself

@gufc21 that defence is way too expensive. unless you're inexplicably planning on playing 5 at the back every week!

Way to much invested in defence. Are you planning playing 5 at the back?

swoody

need some advice on this team, my stress levels are through the roof at this stage.

De Gea Myhill

van Aanholt Cahill Moore Debuchy Haidara

Sanchez Hazard Mata Arfield Isgrove

Rooney Costa Bojan

Jesper

BARKLEY IS OUT FOR 6 WEEKS!!!!

I need a replacement! I have 7 million!

Here are three 6 million replacements? who should I choose?

Sigurdsson or Henderson or Snodgrass

I'll use the remaining 1 million to upgrade defence

Dont be at yourself

Hendo. Played every available minute last year, and only scored slightly less than Sterling.

Thanks in advance!!:)

Interesting point. I wonder though will Sterling play more with Suarez out of the way?

titan18

Think I've settled on mine

Begovic

Jones - Chambers - Rio

Lamela - Ramsey - Mata - Sterling - Cabella

Costa - Rooney

Krul - Wisdom - Bartley - Jutkiewicz

FrClintPower

Chambers/Young or Lovren/Marney

The first are more likely to go up in value but will also probably need to be transferred out in the first few gameweeks, and I'd have Young on the bench.

The second pair would just remain in my squad and would free me to make transfers elsewhere early doors.

This thread is gone mad, sooner tomorrow comes the better so it's not updating every minute or two. Go with your gut or else read the other threads,

Quick question, Ramsey or Sterling?

Goalies: Weakest link in the team, I think. Have Guzan & Foster for the clubs home and away pattern. So essentially, one of the two will always be at home.

Defenders: Smalling picks himself. Kind fixtures and will be a certain starter for Man United. His goal threat from set pieces is helpful too. Chose Debuchy because his first fixture is kind and should start every week. Final defender is Pieters, cheap at 5.0 and Stoke are very good at home.

Midfielders: No explanation needed for Fabregas/Sterling/Mata. Went for Lamela cause I think he will be a big success this season. Has had a full pre-season under his belt. Will play just behind Adebayor and I think Pochettino's style of play will suit him.

Forwards: Rooney has to be in any team I think. Chelsea have some nice games over the first few weeks so I went with Costa. Hull played some attractive football last season and Jelavic is there only out and out striker. Can't think of a better option for his price. Also doesn't have a high ownership so shouldn't be worried about a price drop.

Bench: Rotating between van Aanholt/Colloccini because of the home/away pattern. Was going to pick O'Shea, but his high ownership scared me away.

My Concerns: No Manchester City or Arsenal attacking players has me worried with their threat on front of goal.

Appreciate any opinions or criticism! Thanks

Anybody?
