He had a bright start to last season too so I am going to include him. I am having difficulty trying to determine my front line. I can't choose between Defoe or Yakubu. Everton have an easier start but Defoe did score against Chelsea last season and I think overall he could outscore the Yak. Thoughts anyone?

Maybe Hughes might play him there against tough opposition where he needs some strength? He's certainly better than Ball & Garrido...

Maybe he'd go RB, Richards would go CB and Ben Haim woul dbe benched. I also think Ball and Garrido will split the LB spot more evenly than last year. I asked this the other day and the answer was:

First 3 home games : Portsmouth, Spuds, Manure Frist 2 away games : Wigan, Man City If i'm not mistaken then certainly 3 of those teams have some of the meanest defences in the league with Wigan not bad and Spuds improving a lot as well. There 3 home games look tough given the opposition attacks as well. Certainly wouldnt classify them as 'easy'. For me the easiest runs belong to Arsenal, Bolton, Everton, Hull & West Ham.

Guthrie could do well but a massive question mark over newcastle. I see them either doing brilliantly or struggling. Geremis comments the other day did not inspire confidence either and indicated a low morale i have to agree with mark about newcastle.
