Your Pool coverage with Gomez, how likely is he to hold his place?

Like the strong forward line and the Aguero plan is solid, good stuff.

No Hazard? Glad I'm not alone!!!

FHFC

Right, I do think this is really close to final.....as in may only be changed as little as 20 or 30 times before Friday night.....

Southampton keeper. Great fixtures.

Bellerin just shades it over Shaw. The rest of the defence - Liverpool/Bournmouth/Norwich/WHU give you awesome defensive rotation fixtures playing 2 every week GW1-8. Check it out and you'll see!

Fabregas it is. Walcott but Ramsey is whispering in my ear that he's a safer solider option. Cabaye I didn't fancy too much but possible the best at 6.5 or under which is what I need. Any other suggestions welcomed there.

Big front line.

Aguero = Sterling to Gradel & Kane to Aguero.

...........phew.......

JamBur

No more messing, this is it...............tell me how great it is

Finally, I think I have my final draft...

I have a three transfer plan.
Downgrading Azpi > S.Taylor (Or similar 4.0 'starting' defender)
Sterling > Mata/Depay (Whoever is playing better)
Rooney > Aguero In time for GW4 at home to Watford

Any feedback is greatly appreciated !

barring any last minute injuries I think thats me done. FHFC you were right all along Ive reverted to a cheap defence 31.5 on the back 7.

Hah, a leopard cant change its spots etc!

I'm going the other way, I was spending 31, then Pullisball went south so upped to 32, now looking at a defence I really like for 33m.

kolczastyy

My head is burnt out. I'm done with reading about FPL.

If Gomez start I count on prices going up. If he doesnt Huth will play.
I resigned from Depay as ManUtd cover and go only with Rooney. Took Hendo.
Think of downgrade Sakho or Mahrez to free funds up to eventually transfer of Aguero/Costa.

Hope to hear any opinions.

Arbitrary

I was almost going to pass on this season (yeah right!).

I'm still considering Rooney or Benteke up front, Rooney means I need to make more changes to free up cash but I'm not mad on the idea of 3 united players anyway. 1.5 in the bank and the plan is transfer Pelle/Benteke/Rooney for Aguero and downgrade a midfielder.

I'm a bit torn on Ramsey, Cazorla and Ozil both viable but I feel Ramsey will finish on a higher total providing he stays fit and on form.

I'm also a 3 man attack man so don't value the option of the 5th mid.

Ye I think so if he keeps his place 4 of the first 7 fixtures are great as part of a rotating defence. I'm going to give the Ritchie Deeney rotation 3 weeks to see how it goes if need be ill wildcard for gw 4. If the rotation looks okay I plan to downgrade one of my arsenal mids and do rooney to aguero.

Thanks to Manual Man for input.

@SpaceCowboy i'd have Redmond over Zaha, more secure of starts and finished last season strongly, Norwich have a kind opening fixture list too

Nice shout, don't know how i didnt pick up on that earlier myself as i had Ruddy in goals in my last draft due to their nice opening run

ManagerXI

Quite happy with this team, leaves me room to manoeuver to free up funds to improve areas reasonably easy and should be pulling in a few points in the first 3 weeks before I consider wildcarding to take advantage of the surprise packages in the more unknown teams.

Your bench is going to be very light with two 4m defenders that don't play and Lafferty. I would downgrade PVA to Coates and upgrade Turner to a playing 4.5m. Huth is also better than Wasi if you want to risk doubling on Leicester defence

Thanks for the suggestion Ziegler

Last year I spent ages and ages reading all the threads before picking my team. I got off to a terrible start. This year throwing my team together almost last minute. Any comments, suggestions. No money in the bank is a big worry for a start.

i think you could re-jig things to have another big name attacker or two, Kane and Hazard being the only you currently have that performed well last season (maybe you could include Pelle in that). maybe downgrade Baines? you've got alot of funds tied up in defense and Baines is no longer on pens and i wouldn't be too confident of Everton defensively, especially with Chelsea's pursuit of John Stones hanging over the club

I think I'm going to risk Gomez now, those home fixtures are so tasty for 4.5m

Head melted. Need to back away from the computer. Have been keeping money in the bank to upgrade Rooney to Aguero but a comment on this thread about put your money on the pitch not in the bank (or words to that effect) made me rethink. I've used the money to upgrade the defence.

Here's where I'm at now.

Courtois / McCarthy 9.5m
Courtois to start every week and cheapest way into Chelsea defence. Also looked at Mig / Ruddy or Panti / Krul for same price and good rotation but then no Chelsea defence and potential selection remorse every weekend.

Cedric / Bellerin / Huth / Staylor / Mings 23.5m
Not a lot to say here other than could downgrade Cedric and Bellerin to 4.5 players and keep some dosh for the Aguero fund. Picked Huth over O'Shea but really it's the toss of a coin.

Midfield. Here's where the money goes.
Sterling / Walcott / Hazard / Milner / Ritchie 42.5m
Sterling cheaper than Silva and likely to benefit from playing alongside. Still debating Hazard to Fabregas. Walcott is a no-brainer. Reckon he's guaranteed to start. Think Milner's due a great season. Ritchie over Redmond. Either would be a punt but Villa defence is a shambles. Hoping for early price rise from Ritchie.

Attack.
Rooney / Benteke / Deeney 24.5m
Tempted to find 1m from somewhere and upgrade Benteke to Kane but not convinced it is an upgrade.

Feels like a wait and see team. Very much pre-wildcard.

Sorry chat was on another thread as to Giroud/Walcott. Someone was saying Giroud would be definitely playing but FFS don't have him. Wrong thread really

Goalkeepers:
Good point re McCarthy. Will be getting him in as my 4.0
You're scaring me a bit re the Norwich defenders. Surely Basson / Martin 95% safe!?

Defenders:
No issue with your defence, but not sure on the Kos>Aguero plan as I'll come to later.

Midfielders:
I've the same three big mids, and also may yield to caution and put Ramsey in for Walcott. Hazard be damned.
Now, I know I probably won't talk you out of that Norwich mid, but this is where I'd put the Aguero fund. All will be explained, patience grasshopper.

Forwards:
Rooney - yes. Pelle, maybe. Costa, much as I want to have in my GW1 side I think its beyond risky given Joses nonsense.

General comment, no Liverpool attacker given their good home fixtures esp GW2, and the ownership of Tekkers/Hendo/Milner is risky.

What about going with whatever defender you want 4.5 - 5.0, go with Kane/Benteke rather than Costa from the off and put that saving of I'm guessing 2.5-3.5m into that 4th mid spot, giving you maybe a Mane, Payet, or even an Ozil, not sure how much you'd have. Then you can downgrade that spot back to the Norwich mid of your choice (having seen how they look and line up) and upgrade Kane/Benteke to Aguero.

I've not worked out those sums exactly but you get the gist.

I'm not 100% on having that Norwich mid from the off and a week or 2 might actually give clarity to which one I want. It just feels wrong not having one from the start due to the fact it's me :pac:

I'll crunch the numbers later when I'm at a computer to see what I can afford. I want at least 1 differential though however I can work it.

Also I was struggling with who to pick for that 5th mid spot and thought it would be much clearer in a week or 2 while Kos offers potential in nice fixtures but it's the kind of advice I was looking for so cheers

Bassong is probably nailed and if Martin wasn't captain he'd be less secure. It depends on whether Neil sees Wisdom as an RB or a CB. Turner it pains me to say may not see any gametime or even be at the club come September I fear

Another CB and Striker arriving would not surprise me.

Also Palace's pace could do a job on that defence as has been an issue in preseason. Just feel it needs to be thrown out their to muddle minds even more.

Rikand

I would be playing a 3-5-2

Goalkeepers :: Leicester only really have 3 tough games in their first 13 games. Arsenal, Spurs and Southampton. The rest are all games that could/would expect to get a clean sheet out of and Schmeichel/Schwarzer gives cover in that respect.

Defenders :: Probably a little bit light in my team. Azpili,PVA,Wasili to be the regulars. Is Wasili still a starter at Leicester ? Surely with Morgan down as doubtful he will be to start anyways. STaylor and Micky T as bench fodder. I could change Mickey T, but he's just there for first draft glory

Midfielders :: Midfielder heavy. Having both Fab and Haz early last season did no harm whatsoever. I would bank on Ozil being a guaranteed in Arsenal's team. Depay could be awesome.... And Henderbus on penos, set pieces and will surely be given the opportunity to fully expand on the Stevie G role now that Stevie is gone.

Forwards :: Benteke off to a scoring start already. Kane a guaranteed starter. Lafferty is more bench fodder. Anyone got a good suggestion for a back up there ?

1.0 in the bank should I need to make changes elsewhere after the first game or if anyone has any more pressing suggestions for defense. Bellerin/Mertesacker instead of Wasili is one I was thinking of.

I don't know how happy I am facing into the weekend now with benteke as part of a 352 ........was tempted to even go with lukaku for one week only but not taking that chance......could give pelle a week I suppose but would end up transferring benteke in the following week most likely.......

That's why the plan which I outlined involves ditching him for Aguero as soon as he was fit and is basically there as a decent premium option rather than having the cash sitting in the bank and not needing to use a WC or more than -4 in hits.

Any suggestions on how I better spend 17.0 between Kos and Costa while I wait for Aguero?

Maybe look to get Silva in for City? I'd be weary of Walcott too. Will he play 90mins week in, week out? And where will he play? I bottled it and dropped him for Ramsey myself.

ok so based on Costa and Silva now both being doubt i've done a final re-jig and hopefully i'm close to finalising this!

Only questions i still have are over Mané and Zaha. I'd actually be happy with Mané but i've zero in the bank with this team and i'm not overly happy about having Zaha as someone i'll pretty much be starting every week so do people reckon its better to downgrade

Mané for say Sigurdsson and Zaha for Puncheon/Walters

or even

Mané for Chadli (and double up on Spurs) and Zaha for Cabaye

or just leave it as is to begin?
