FSA FPL Rate My Team Thread 2015/16

OK. I've ignored FF for the last few weeks to avoid going crazy but thought it best to take a look at with a week left.

This is my first serious draft. I'm pretty happy with it but I'm sure there's room for improvement



Courtois - cheapest way into Chelsea defence that I could see
Rudd - bench fodder - will be playing Courtois every week

Defence will rotate 3 from 4 of

Muniesa - appears to be first choice for Stoke
Cédric - Southampton - based solely off last year
Mertersaker - Would prefer Bellerin but is he nailed on?
Huth - Hoping Ranieri knows how to get a team to defend
Saylor - Just bench fodder

Midfield
3 big hitters in Hazard, Walcott and Sterling

Rotating 2 of Ritchie / Sinclair / Sakho depending on fixtures

Up front - Rooney & Kane

Any feedback greatly appreciated. Haven't been rating others up till now but will be more active over the next few days (not that I would recommend relying on my feedback!)

Cheers

Finished in 38k worldwide last year and it was my first year taking the game seriously. Hoping to break the 10k barrier this year.
I dont post a lot on this but I am constantly reading the posts from certain readers such as CSF Lemlin Ziegler and a couple others who seem to be right most of the time when it comes to this game.

Anyway looking to get a few tips today as I have the day off work. I am thinking of doing the following regards my team: Any comments would be very greatful :

Coutois / Hennessy


Darmian OShea Lescott S.Taylor Ward


Hazard Ramsey Silva Mane Wanyama

Rooney Benteke Deeney

How certain are people Sterling will start?

First draft.

Thank you for the kind words. That's a strong team for the most part, the only issue Id have with it is a common one in a lot of teams this year. The combination of the 4.5 million dud midfielder with the cheap striker. It means that you're almost compelled to play Deeney even in the really tough away games because you don't have the sort of defence to go 4-4-2 and you're not going to want to play Wanyama because he doesn't carry a goal/assist threat really.

I would downgrade Ramsey or Mane (depending on your preference) to maybe Ritchie, and upgrade Deeney to Sakho. Meaning you'd be able to play Ritchie for all Bournemouth's home games and bench him for the away ones and do the same alternating with Sakho. Depending on which player you downgraded, you'd have either 1.0 or 1.5 left to beef up that defence too.

Very certain. 50m is not a bench player even at City!! Will probably be up front against WBA.

Yeah I think he'd almost have to play himself out of a start. Those first 3 fixtures still have me reluctant though. I'm almost tempted to give him the Aguero treatment and bring him in for GW4.

This is my squad so far today. I've only.5 in Anglo resting so not much room for changes. Just looking for some opinions as every year in my league I fall short bout 200 pts. Think I loose interest and forget to change team some weeks and other times I feel as if I have to make a transfer

First team in have seen Walters in, could he lose gametime with all Stokes new signings?

Giroud I'd be in a panic over each week as well, Kane maybe?

Welcome back though!!!

Walters with 8G 6A and Arnautovic injured I don't think he will lose much GT


Im playing Giroud until Costa is fit and with Sánchez out for the first game not to mention 2 fairly easy games to start with .


And thanks good to be back

Your team looks good. Except it looks a bit like you got 10 players in that you really wanted and then kind of just put in anyone to fill the 5 remaining places. Wanyama should never be a starter. That's something I'd be looking to rectify and I don't think the answers are on your bench currently either.

Yeah, which was good, but which I felt belied his overall attacking contribution also. Liverpool have more good attacking players this year also which changes the dynamic a lot too. I'll be waiting to see how he starts the season before moving on him.

this. Hendo/Milner/Coutinho/Firmino and possibly the likes of Ibe/Origi will all be taking a share of the attacking spoils for Liverpool apart from Benteke. very hard to see any one of them standing out above the rest. Milner and Hendo i think will both get around 150pts for the season, i'd be surprised if there's much between them come the end of the season. as such, i think there is a case for having one of them in ones squad, but like yourself CSF i think the wise move would be to wait and see

That's exactlywhat happens get good few that I want then fill with low 4.5 etc whoever git highest points year befire

Probably not the ideal route. Bargain hunting is the way to go.

First time posting here would like to get some feedback.

Courtouis/Butland
Francis/huth/wisdom/richards/kaboul
Haz/Sterling/Hendo/Cazorla/Wanyama
Rooney/Lukaku/Pelle

What ye think?

0.5 itb with the view to getting benteke after GW1

Guys is my team totally mad or just completely totally mad - Hazard and Fabregas

Are you using the full 100? Hard to see where it's all been used.

well spotted - no, 3.5m left

Get that money used. Your team looks short on big hitters. If it's Aguero you're worried about you're better off wildcarding on GW4, then going the first 3 weeks kind of weak to facilitate him.
