Versus – Low to Mid-Price Midfielders

Like. Uncertainty with Davies given Rose extending contract?

Looks good, 10.0 is too much on keepers though in my opinion, maybe downgrade Krul to a non-playing 4.0 (surely you'll be playing DDG nearly every week anyway) and use the extra money to upgrade a defender? I reckon that would net you more points in the long run than trying to predict clean sheets with keeper rotation.

I would invest more in your strikers as they tend to score the most points and there is a big difference in the top 10 strikers and the next 10.

I'd have two decent strikers and one cheapie to rotate with cheapie mid

@ Valar

Yaya Toure

Hazard

Did he not play v Weirder Bremen?

So have I

For mata

Why??

Definitely B.

Looks really solid! 8/10 imo

I have no idea.

First time I've seen his name in 3 days

Nailed on, nice fixtures, goal threat. I think the uncertainty related to all the Chelsea defenders makes Verthongen a good placeholder until we know more. Pochettino made Southampton really tight at the back. I think Verthongen can be a beast under the same regime.

Also Hazard isn't a lock yet, will go into GW1 with very little preparation

Also, Hazard isn't certain, he will head into GW1 with a worrying lack of preparation - I see him being rested

May i ask you where you are from?

Morning Don! How goes it?

Hey, mate. 🙂

Go with your gut.

Long

Austin.

I'd say Jelavic, but I have a soft spot for Steven Fletcher at 5,5 - if he starts (IF) then he is a way better punt than either of the Hull fellas or Austin

Rooney
Costa
Haz

Rooney Sanchez Hazard

Rooney and Costa only. Don't really fancy the other two, I'd rather have Ramsey and Fabregas, but if I had to choose I'd say Sanchez.

Thanks! But you are not making this easier... 3 replies with 3 different names...

Rooney
Hazard
Sanchez

Pelle if you must. Better options out there though

Pelle

Pelle. But 2m is a lot

I honestly do think Bojan will do okay.. not exactly a marquee signin for Hughes but it is a major coup anyway. Been following him preseason and he has looked good. Hughes was singin his praises on the radio the other day too and said that he was not sure if he should start the season with him but now he is. Stoke are no longer the stoke of old. they are an attacking side now and should score goals with those opening fixtures. However bad a time Bojan had on loan the past few years can be ignored purely cause he is still young, has the skill, will be treated like a god and could be playin in the hole/upfront. 5.5 could be a huge bargain

just swapped

eriksen fabregas and dzeko

for costa snoddy and mata

Snoddy
Giroud is not playi the first game
We don't know about the rest

U shouldn't be forced into having 2 6.0s but I'd pick hendo

Snodgrass for first 5, then Puncheon

Young! 5.5!

find another 0.5 and get A Johnson

I rate puncheon. Second half of the season he got quite a nice return

Fabregas seems the best bet at the least cost. on couple set pieces too

Hazard is the easiest choice. He will be fit in 2 weeks easily

I'm changing my team all the time, but right now I have Fab, Haz and Costa 😯

I seriously think Hazard would be fit by the time the season kicks off. He looked decent coming off the bench against Werder Bremen. Fab on the hand, plays a little too deep for my liking. Costa as you mentioned is unproven at 10.5. So I would prefer Haz over the other two.

Albrighton bruce and tamet are my subs

Palace defense is a must for me. after that C.Davies considerin the openin 5 fixtures. he could be a place holder until a cheaper option pops up by GW 6

not very different, but forget about that, its a good team

Bojan

How are we meant to know that,.........

theres no way you can say

Rooney, Hazard, Mata, Siggy, Mariappa

You'll be lucky if you have 2 players all season.

😆 .. by jan i feel the only players left from my current squad will be my keepers, Ward and my cheap permabenchers

very difficult to say, BUT if i was forced into making a bold claim, i would say David De Gea or Begovic are pretty safe options. Midfield? Mata probably. guaranteed game time in a promising role. Up front? Hahaha no idea. Defence? Chelsea are always a safe bet to anchor the defence.

Yeah, Costa in midfield sure is alternative.

Ramsey just because he is cheap and has already gelled in.

First I was set on Sanchez. Then I switched to Ramsey. Then I sold Ramsey for Fab.

I'm not sure.

Ramsey. Simple for me as I'd want Theo over Sanchez once fit anyway

sanchez by far
ramsey wont keep his form it was a one time thing like elsharaawy at milan
personally would go with sanchez hell even ozil is better than ramsey IMO
best option is giroud once hes fit all of them play behind him and he converts chances to goals and is cheap too... not to mention he assists alot

Sanchez for me.. playing OOP at times for a side like Arsenal is just too good to pass up. the other option for me was to wait for Wally but you never know with him. supposed to be back by september but could be eased in again like last time. gonna stick with sanchez

10.5 is not normally a price that gives you value for a midfielder, unless he's your captain. I haven't seen enough from Alexis yet to warrant captaining him. I'm sure he'll be a great player but I think he's a good candidate for a price drop - maybe one to pick up cheaper once Arsenal's fixtures pick up.

I was on Sanchez for ages. Then tinkered and found a team I really liked with Ramsey. Now I'm back on Sanchez. *sigh*

This is nothing. Wait until evening 🙂

Sterling

I'd have to say Mata. More potential for points.

Mata

Begovic and Gilks>Mannone and Krul
Downgrade Snod to improve the defence
