Versus – Low to Mid-Price Midfielders

Okay team now after swapping Sanchez to Ramsey, thoughts?

Begovic
Evans - Luis - Ward
Eriksen - Mata - Siggy - Ramsey
Dzeko - Costa - Rooney

Gilks -- Wanyama - van Aanholt - Dummett

Guys is BOJAN a decent option to have as one of my strikers?

BOJAN and YAYA

or

DZEKO and FABREGAS

After jovetic's showing pre-season Dzeko is not certain to start... wat do you think sir?

Really strugling guyz.Any kind of help is appreciated.

A) Eriksen + Chester + naylor (other defenders are jones & huth & 4m)

or,

B) Snodgrass + Ward + Luis

What are your thoughts on Rivere (NEW) and Wickham if he goes to WHU?

How much have you spent on your defense? Just looking forward to some opinions so that I have a general idea... 33.5 here

RMT please, any views ?

Mannone, Krul
Luis, Debuchy, Ward, Chester, Duff
Ramsey, Mata, Eriksen, Siggie, Albrighton
Rooney, Costa, Dzeko

Chance of gettig clean sheets from first 10 matches:
Arsenal : 56.5%
Aston villa : 40%
Burnley : 34.5%
Chelsea : 61%
Crystal palace : 53.5%
Hull : 41.5%
Everton: 48%
Leicester : 34%
Liverpool : 55.3%
Man city : 48.5%
Man utd : 52%
Newcastle : 45%
QPR : 47%
Southampton : 53%
Stoke : 56.5%
Sunderland: 40.5%
Swansea : 47%
Spurs : 48.5%
West brom : 40%
West ham : 43%

40% or %50 does not mean that they get 4 or 5 cleansheets...
I have done this after tough work...

with back five of moore, wisdom, duff, dummet, and bruce
can i get 3 defenders week in week out?

So, how's the current thinking of Dzeko vs Jovetic?

Innsie, your idea of rotating 2nd Palace defender and Austin seems tempting..But no room for a second place defender in my team.

Rather than RMT what site do I finish my night with....

Oh this could be good as long as we are not linking footy sites...

I have a top 3

Anyone going with no Man City coverage?
I'm coming around to the idea of sticking Re,y up top alongside Rooney, rather than Dzeko (extra 1.0 actually goes a long way)

But having no city attacking coverage could be foolhardy at best, ideally i'd actually like to go with both Nasri & Dzeko, but there are just too many good Chelsea/Arsenal/Utd attacking players this year.

Any better GK+def options without ruining the attack?

Bego - Gilks
Naylor - Wisdom - Yoshida - Van Aanholt - Coloccini
Mata - Fabregas - Ramsey - Eriksen - Wanyama
Rooney - Giroud - Costa

So if I go through with my defence of: Evans - Caulker - Ward - Dann - Clyne, where Dann will rotate with my 3rd striker Austin, these will be my defenders fixtures in the first 6 weeks...

HUL, SWA, ars (Austin vs HUL)
WHU, WHU, WBA, sun
SUN, bur, whu (Austin vs SUN)
BUR, BUR, QPR, NEW
STO, lei, swa (Austin v STO)
LEI, LEI, WHU, QPR

Clean sheets galore on paper, with one player in GW1 being the only one with a bad fixture.

TFF I'm piggybacking off your post about defenders budget above. (hope you dont mind?)

How much are you spending on your mids and fwds?

Ive gone:

Mids: 37.5

Fwds: 29

DZEKO confirmed starter after jovetic's good pre season show?

Speculation growing Arsenal have agreed deal to sell Vermaelen to Barca for £11.2m. Deal expected to be officially announced in next 72 hrs.

Any suggestgions to improve?

a) is defense too weak?
b) is mata more needed than eriksen or sterling?

Krul / Foster

Evans Huth N.Taylor Simpson Chester (all 5 rotate nicely until week 9)

Fabregas, Ramsey, Siggy, Eriksen, Srterling

Rooney, Costa, Bojan

thanks

Yaya & Pelle

or

Fabregas & Dzeko

I dont see much Henderson love on this site. Anyone considering him instead of Siggy? He will play a big role in Pools offensive play and showed us last year that he knows how to score.

A) Hoilett and Naylor/Mariappa
B) Albrighton and Caulker

Trying to spend 31.5 in the back is this back 7 ok ?

Reports from Spain suggest that Mateo Musacchio is close to completing a deal to sign for Tottenham. The Argentine central defender is expected to join Spurs from Villareal within days.

On Sunday evening, the Villareal manager was speaking in terms of the difficulty of replacing Musacchio. He said,

"The exit of Musacchio would complicate things for the team due to the quality of the player. It’s incredibly difficult to find quality defenders at this time. It won’t be easy. The solution whether good or bad, will be resolved soon. Mateo is an important player for Villarreal and it will be difficult to replace."

The Villarreal midfielder Cani admitted that the possible departure of Musacchio would be a great loss to Villareal. He said,

"He is a major player on and off the field. We lose, if he go, a great teammate and a great player."

Fee is believed to be around £17m.

Yup, not bad for the budget

Monday morning team.

Krul - Foster
Evans - Clyne - N. Taylor - Pieters - Moore
Ramsey - Fabregas - Mata - Siggy - Albrighton
Rooney - Costa - Dzeko

A) Should I go for Bego/4.0 at GK? And if so, what do I do with Pieters?
B) Is it safe to go without Sanchez/Hazard? Currently thinks Fab/Ram is just a good combination regardless of price, but still unsure.
C) Is Austin going to outscore Dzeko for the first couple of GWs? Is it safe to await the City picks? Tempted to use the 2.5 somewhere else
D) Costa to punty?

Shelvey or Davis?

How was Sanchez in the Emirates Cup?

Need feedback on my team

Begovic

Jones Terry Shawcross

Sterling Lamela Barton Arnoutovic

Jovetic Costa (C) Rooney

subs: Fabianski , Simpson (QPR), Routledge, Taylor (swansea)
