The Rate My Team Discussion

With so many of you seeking advice on their teams before August 16, we thought it would prudent to run a daily community article to provide a dedicated focus for “Rate My Team” (RMT) requests.

Each day ahead of the new season, we’ll select one of the Fantasy Football Scout team and post up their own RMT request to open up discussion and encourage others to post their own. We’ll turn the comments over to you to provide a useful place for those seeking advice and highlight some of the key decisions under deliberation.

Please nudge those posting RMTs in other articles to visit this daily RMT article. Also, when posting requests, please remember to be courteous to those who take the time to help out. Equally, if you’re an experienced Fantasy manager with some views on initial line-ups, take time out to dip in and contribute – the Fantasy Football Scout team will be doing their upmost to offer their feedback as the discussion develops throughout the day.

Next up is Demi who is looking for feedback on this team:

De Gea/Hamer

Mariappa, Wisdom, Davies, Debuchy, Terry

Mata, Sigurdsson, Eriksen, Hazard, Albrighton

Diego Costa, Rooney, Diouf

Demi says he is pretty set on having David De Gea and a non-playing keeper, and it’s one of the few positions that have remained constant in all his drafts. Juan Mata, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Christian Eriksen and Eden Hazard have all featured strongly in most of his thoughts too, but, apparently, he could be persuaded to start the season with Cesc Fabregas and use the extra cash to upgrade his defence. Speaking of which, John Terry is the one certainty in Demi’s rearguard: the others are more doubtful. Demi is currently undecided as to whether to keep an Arsenal defender in his side, with Debuchy his current preferred selection.

Up front, Wayne Rooney is locked in, but Demi has been really struggling for inspiration on the other two forward spots. Diego Costa seems as good as any option for the first three or four games; he’s not keen on Olivier Giroud or Edin Dzeko with their respective fixtures. Would he be better off downgrading Costa and instead focusing on solidifying his defence?

Feel free to get stuck in with your feedback. We look forward to scanning your RMTs throughout the day on this article.

Would anyone care to RMT my team. Going 3-5-2 and overloading the midfield.

Green-Gilks

Naylor-Rosenior(Which hull 4.5 is best right now)-Duff-Luis-Gibbs

Sterling-Errikson-Mata-Fabregas-Silva

Rooney-Dzeko-Zamora

Should I get an arsenal attacker/mid and who for?
Is rooney a better bet than Costa?

      City have a way of getting about their business and racking up points and are usually dependable on playing the same starting 11. Silva whenever he plays just seems to get a lot of points with minimal fuss. I realise he will get injured at some point so may as well get something from him while I can. Choosing between these expensive mids at this stage appears to be mostly down to gut feeling at this point

I'll join in on this RMT madness! I keep making new transfers every day. I'm not sure if there is a player left who hasn't been in my squad yet.

Anyway, here's my current 15. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Krul / Begovic
Evans / Ward / Chester / Van Aanholt / Bartley (or any 4.0)
Mata / Sanchez / Eriksen / Sigurdsson / Arnautovic
Costa / Rooney / Austin

  You could easily save 0.5 on the keepers by downgrading either. I'd try and squeeze in Gary Cahill and downgrade Arnie

A 4.0m Defender would give me 0.5 to play with. This could be used to upgrade the GK or upgrade Luis to Cahill/Terry. Anything else that needs addressed?

    I would be happy enough to do this if there was a striker in the 6-8m price range who has promise, I am willing to wait and see what happens at the start of the season I think.

Havent done a RMT this pre season yet but hoping for a critique on what I think is a pretty solid team. Only think I'm wondering is freeing up funds by dropping Alexis

http://gyazo.com/f2b45303fba5f95ba6b02c35a3f3d52c

Schmeichel, Foster
Caulker, Moore (Lei), Taylor(Swa), Cahill, Coloccini
Alexis, Tadic, Siggy, Mata, Albrighton
Costa, Jovetic, Rooney

Hoping for a balanced review if any of you have a minute to spare 🙂

  nearly exactly the same as mine. However, I think that B Davies is an unnecessary risk, who is almost certain to be rotated with Rose around europa league fixtures. This is even more of a problem since Bartley and Moore don't seem like reliable back ups. I'd be more inclined to go for some nailed on 4.5 defenders, like N Taylor, O Shea/Van Aanholt, Colocini, rio etc

    Okay, thanks. I might just swap Huth for Davies, then get 4.5 rotating keepers instead of Begovic. That said, I think Rose is a very poor defender, so would expect him to play in the Europa games, and Davies to keep his spot in the league.

      It all depends we're fab plays, many think he will play deep along side Matic but we all know in a number 10 role behind costa he would be fantasy gold. I've got hazard of the two purely because we know where he will play and he guarantees points. If I was you I'd still want to free up some funds for the defence

Here's a little "alternative XI" for the hipsters.

4-5-1 with a rock solid bench

---------------------- Courtois --------------------------
------------ Luis - Jones - Huth - Enrique ---------
Cazorla - Silva - Lamela - Arnautovic - Barkley
----------------------- Rooney --------------------------

Bench: Given - Jovetic - Long - Hangeland

Obviously, Jovetic comes in as soon as any player is out or has a bad fixture.
Double Chelsea defence, United, Stoke both solid and Enrique is an attacking beast. Palace defence available off the bench.

Demi - I'd avoid Terry. I honestly think he's the one to avoid in that chelsea backline. Getting on a bit now and Cahill offers a better security of starts (IMO of course!). Everything else looks good - love the Diouf punt. Good fixtures and he's a talented player.

I personally wouldn't spend so little on a striker a as I like the option of being able to switch them easily for another 8.5/9 player (I've gone for Lukaku so he can be easily switched to Bony / Giroud etc. without much effort)

Midfield excellent though.

  Fair point about switching to a 9m striker, but i think i'm gonna do that with Costa. Will play Diouf in pretty much all the games at the start.
  
  Solid defence, assuming Bartley becomes 1st choice with Chico leaving. I don't particularly rate their cs chances, but at 4m, you wouldnt care too much about that. Love your strikeforce, i guess you're relying on Lukaku being effective against the big sides, like he was last year. Really good midfield. Wish i could somehow fit Sanchez in

  Lukaku is a a player that will frustrate you a few weeks and form varies but the odd GW he blows every-bodies minds with a great final score. Ask yourself is he really worth that or would you want a more consistant point scorer. If Sanchez is played as a wing forward, it could go well for Giroud picking up more goals from assists

    Can you see Dzeko and Jones starting the first game?

      Love that team. Sorry for just replying if you get to see this. I do see them starting for sure. Jones had great games pre-season and not much good comp. in that position at united. He would be the only nailed CB there even if LvG recruits a defender. Dzeko should start while their is no Negredo. Heres hoping Augero picks up a knock and all they have is Dzeko and Jov 🙂

        Thanks and no worries. I made 1 more change by swapping Cameron for Liam Moore from Leicester. I've heard that Cameron isn't a nailed on starter and may be sold. Got 1.0 million in the bank so could either leave it for future transfers or upgrade the defence.

Rate my Team please
Szcesny(Krul)
Jags Vertonghen Cameron Lovren (Vlaar)
Sanchez Mata Nasri Lamela (Siggy)
Rooney Long (Fletcher)

Going for a strong mid and defense with one strong striker and two that chip in the odd goals and assists
Any advice appreciated
Cheers

  Is that premium def. really worth Long as a starter and Flech as a backup up front?
  
  Slightly downgrade both Jags and Lovern by 0.5 or 1.0 each and use that money to get a better striker or downgrade one by 1.0 and downgrade Nasri to a rotation player like Albrighton and start Siggy.. Would really balance the team out. You will still have a strong team in def and mid while having at least one more heavy hitter up front too.. It will work in the long run IMO

RMT - 343 formation

Krul (Elliot)

Cameron, Trippier, Clyne, Caulker, Bruce. (looking to rotate between these)

Hazard, Ramsey, Eriksen, Siggy, Albrighton (Albrighton is just going to be on the bench)

Costa, Rooney, Pelle (im looking to keep Pelle, really think he will do well, not sure whether to switch him for jovetic or lukaku though)

I have 2 million left, should i improve on my defence (if so who?) and is it worth putting Ramsey AND sanchez in? Any changes i should make?

  I would say it would be worth a punt getting both Ramsey and Sanchez
  
  Upgrade Krul to somebody like Howard or DDG
  
  Not sure on Costa really. If you are then keep him and if you are not downgrade to maybe Dzeko and then use the remaining to upgrade defenders, Trippier and Caulkner would be my picks for the chop to upgrade after said changes

    okay thank you mate! Costa is fixed for me, and what do you think of trippier? wasnt sure about removing him because of his 14 assists last season?
