You could just type out your team if you like..

Thanks spock ....but apart from having a decent season I also want to learn how to do the whole screenshot thing as it saves a lot of time typing out team (as I have up to now)

Any views appreciated lads

Very very strong team. Full of goalscoring midfielders which are the ones you want really. Is the intention to rotate Mahrez and Sakho, because I think that is what you should do. You're well covered with those 2 up until say Gameweek 7 when you'll need to change the plan a little.

Not convinced you've got the right 4.5 sub defenders though. Fixtures don't really pick up for Stoke until GW6 and I don't see Watford being great. Not a big fan of Quique Sanchez Flores as a manager and amn't sure he knows what he wants them to be yet. Sunderland defender instead maybe? Based on the Europa League team tonight Yoshida looks like he should start at that price too.

Nope I did it from a PC but I assume if you take a photo/screenshot and copy it, you should be able to touch it and paste it in?

Think you are yeah.

Yeah I think I'll tinker with that defence, I'm not really liking having 2 x Norwich and 2x Stoke players, I just wish I had 0.5m more to upgrade on pudil, there doesn't seem to be anyone worthwhile at 4.0m albeit I don't mind if I can get 4 decent defenders to rotate as I will pretty much never play more than 3 of them in any week.

Edit: yeah the plan is to get Sakho in for the next 2 GW's.

Yeah, the thing this year is that 4.0/5 million players haven't really come available in clubs you wouldn't expect them to. Gomez from Liverpool has been talked about but I'd be seeing before believing. Yoshida is the other but there are doubts there.

Where you're in a situation where you've no defenders/keepers over 4.5 (I'd probably recommend having one 5.0 though maybe Jenkinson or Van Aanholt) its really about finding the premium teams of the small few available, the best choices, and the best rotation options to put them with. For me at least early on those teams are probably Sunderland, Leicester and Norwich. Palace and Stoke will be later in the season but they've tough fixtures to kick off with.

What's considered a good score in the FFS rate my team tool? Saw it mentioned here at some stage.

320+ for first 6 not its not something to pay too much attention to.

Definitely won't be paying attention so after getting in the 250s :pac:

Final draft

Cech

Azpi
Koscielny
Williams

Hazard
Ritchie
Ozil
Sterling

Deeney
Rooney
Sakho

Subs Schwarzer Wanyama Mings Morgan

with 2.5 in the bank when Kun returns i'll bring him in to replace Rooney also i'll start Mings over Williams as Swansea are away to Chelsea. Right i'm done drafting

Here we go -



Defensively, I never like to go ultra-cheap on defence, so I've gone for Chelsea and Arsenal cover through Courtois and Bellerin. I did consider the Mignolet/Ruddy trotation, but I'd prefer just to stick one GK in there and leave him at it.

The remaining 4 defenders rotate pretty well for the first 8 weeks or so, with Gomez being a bit of a risk. It'll be worth it if he pays off though and I think Rodgers is a manager who could give him a run.

In midfield Walcott was in every draft before this one, but I've settled on Ramsey of all the Arsenal midfielders. I feel Walcott is an early transfer waiting to happen and downgrading him to Ramsey let me get in Mané rather than a 7.5m or less midfielder.

West Ham's fixtures mean Sakho gets in there, and I expect Benteke to start on Sunday, Rodgers has no choice but to try to get some momentum going early to take Liverpool into that run of iffy away games. Rooney will make way for Sergio when he's back. Kane was heavily in my thoughts in the end, but I'm happy with who I've gone with.

When Sergio's back I'll downgrade a midfielder.

I've avoided having too many transfers in waiting, like Walcott, I think Gomez is the only one of the squad I might be forced to jettison in the first couple of GWs, so I hope to be able to jump on form players without having to use my wildcard early on, getting to GW7/8 would be good.

The last few drafts really centred around who should be in the Ramsey/Mané/Benteke spots. The likes of Walcott, Ritchie, Lukaku, Kane, Cazorla, Milner were in the mix, but I'm happy with the trio I've settled on.

Any comments?

Yikes! Are you sure you have it on 6 weeks and not 5? My 5 week scores is 260s so that would make sense.

Ah I figured it out...315 for 6 weeks...not too bad I guess!
