Have had a good look over this and I'm going to stick with:

Begovic
Terry - Caulker - van Aaholt
Fabregas - Mata - Ramsey - Siggy
Rooney - Costa - Fletcher
Subs: Gilks - Moore - Collocini - Isgrove
Banked: 1.5 mil

I've thought about bringing in Taylor or swapping back in De Gea and a Stoke defender but then I'm more than happy with Begovic and the three defenders I have playing this week. I wouldn't be happy to leave any of them on the bench.

The Stoke defence has been wrecking my head all day. Even the four that start tomorrow, with such viable alternatives available will they be safe every week? That's why I've plumped for Begovic.

Also, I have Moore because I want a fifth defender I will rarely play to avoid the conundrum of leaving points on the bench.

Caulker has 7 goals in 56 PL games for Spurs/Cardiff. 2 goals in 16 games for Spurs and 5 in 36 for Cardiff last year. Some mids wouldn't have stats as good as that and QPR have decent fixtures.

I put the same team in Lemlin, just to see what it was like on screen, and I have 2.5 in the bank? :eek:

Mata or Hazard?

Have Rooney and Costa up front....

Mata for the first few weeks. Utd have great early fixtures with 3 promoted teams in the first 5 games.
Hazard isn't up to full fitness yet - he only started pre-season training 2 weeks ago.

Seemingly some question about hazard's fitness, might be worth getting Mata and hanging on to the cash.

Where is the question about his fitness coming from though? Ok he's had a late pre-season but has played the last couple of weeks. Are they really going to start some else over him?

Taken a punt on Hendo over Siggy this week. That's me done so. Let the games begin! :pac:

Good idea. Just made that change. Will look at siggy next week.

Hi All,

Joined up for the Boards leagues for the first time but this year but was glued to this forum last year and got lots of great tips !

This I hope is my final draft - but I am unsure about Young.
What do you think? (I couldn't go without Touré but notice that not many are selecting him?)

MANNONE (Given)
TERRY CHAMBERS CAULKER (Van Aanholt, Dummett)
TOURÉ HENDERSON RAMSEY YOUNG (Albrighton)
ROONEY(c) JOVETIC COSTA

Thanks

Gone for Hendo too, he gets involved in everything so will get an assist at worst I reckon. For 6m worth having

Shane732 · 16-08-2014 11:16AM

Thoughts? Have now left Hazard in and changed Silva for Mata....

What's City's back 4 going to be? I'm very confused by it.

tbh I think it's the late pre-season and not that he won't start but might get subbed .

Cypher_sounds · 16-08-2014 11:21AM

Anyone else going with Darren Fletcher as their cheap midfielder at £5.0m?

FrClintPower · 16-08-2014 11:31AM

Thank god that's over!

AstraOwner · 16-08-2014 11:33AM

No changing it now...

I like that a lot.

Site's down so I can't see how much Cazorla is. He'd be my worry about getting regular game time for Arsenal.
Arsenal first choice will be

Arteta - Ramsey
Walcott - Ozil - Sanchez
Giroud

Cheers man. Cazorla is 8.5m. I don't expect to have him long term, I think he could be a nice differential for week 1 and maybe 2 though. Will be making plenty of changes in the first few weeks.

Rikand · 16-08-2014 11:50AM

Everyone having the same/similar teams. We're all either going to have an amazing game week or an awful one

Yep I realised that later. Delighted with it considering I have 2.5 mil banked. If the likes of Sterling or Eriksen do well, I can bring them in.

I have basically the same team as yourself, but I used the 2.5 for Lamela/Jelavic instead of Siggy/Fletcher.

Shane St. · 16-08-2014 12:32PM

Took a punt on Hernandez

Happy enough with mine now, best of luck lads with the season ahead

Sigurdsson on the bench

It's painful.! Don't know why I sign up every year, it doesn't do my stress levels any favours

IsMiseMyself · 16-08-2014 03:33PM

Ah it's way too early in the season to be letting it stress you. I had Siggy since FPL reopened and sold himself this morning for Hendo---for one week only! :pac: these things happen.

BeanFlicker · 16-08-2014 03:46PM

Starts from day one for me, not even playing for money but pride and bragging rights are at play

martingriff · 16-08-2014 04:48PM

So much for Man Utd having easy games and score as some were saying here thank got I only had Rooney

Changed siggy out for hendo just before the deadline. Arrrrgggghhh!

Ronaldinho · 16-08-2014 08:02PM

Do people reckon Hutton will be first choice over the long haul??

Yeah and your enthusiastic response about it being a 'good idea' was to me. Ha. Sorry, bud.

Running Balance · 16-08-2014 08:07PM

Is there anything worse than your subs scoring 18 points between them!! Aagh!!

Monsieur Folie · 16-08-2014 08:39PM

New to this forum & to fantasy football in general, this is the first year I've taken part. I've already spotted some of my mistakes. Put too much faith in United having a strong opening season, and if they keep going like this I'll have to ditch Mata & De Gea at least I'd say. I got rid of Barkley when he didn't play today, I probably should have saved my sub until after the weekend at the earliest! Lesson learned there, not to panic. Anyway, was wondering if anyone could give me a few tips or pointers or just comment on my performance from day 1? Since I'm new I'm not sure if 39 is a good score or not!

You can tell you are new to it...you picked a totally logical, balanced side with 2 very good goalkeepers :pac:

Sorry, I know your probably not looking for tips but having an injured player with an unknown return date in your starting XI is criminal, get him out now before his price drops.
1 top class keeper is enough, only 1 of them can play at a time, so its wasted money just sitting on your bench.
Dont worry, we have all made these mistakes.
