Versus – Mata, Hazard, Sterling and Ramsey

Problem is that at 7.0, there are slim pickings in terms of strikers.
Going down to 6.0 affords more choice.

Cheer everyone

Totally agree. Too bad for the if.

If Spurs don't sign another striker, whichever one becomes first choice is going to be nearly essential.

Am in same boat. Is Remy the best punt on a cheaper forward? I can stretch to 7.5m but I am not at all sure about Pelle.

After the first 2 gw's Ade and Dzeko/other 8.5mil fwd will likely be the better option....

Of course

B and 1

Haz an sturridge are proven epl players.

Mutch has much more offensive potential then Davis.

B and 1

Hazard and Studge are proven when it comes to EPL returns. I had both last year and seeing them give me lots of points was joyous.

I like the prospects of Bojan.

i'd downgrade speroni to krul and you have .5 to play with..
shaw struggling for fitness.. go evans maybe? another .5 gained
barkley sticks out as a bit of a risk at the price.. but if you really fancy him go for it..

Go Foster and Krul. All the cool kids are doing it.

I think DDG is a steal at 5.5 with man u fixtures to start the season. I would stick

Begovic is you can afford it. Esp if you're not rotating.

I have A, copy me.

Very tough one. If I'm purely focused on GWs 1-3, then I would say B.

A. I suppose. Better off finding some cash and going sturridge and hazard i think.

a

I prefer B to start the season...

B

I'd go B (I have them at the moment).

Siggy, Jovetic, NTaylor

B) Siggy,dzeko,hutton would be my choice

sturridge is gonna bang them in

Sterling is more appealing at 8.5 to start the season considering Sturridge has a few niggles. If i were investing 11.5 in a player I would want 100% fitness & decent fixtures

The price difference settles it for me. Sturridge would have been nice though I admit.

Nothing wrong with both

Thanks for the replies. They have covered the entire range!

Imagine that Sterling is a forward... Would you have a cheap mid?
So what is the difference between a cheap mid playing a 3-4-3, and a cheap forward playing a 3-5-2?
Just go for Sterling and a cheapo forward.

The one difference is that a 4.5 mid may be playable, whereas a 4.5 forwarx probably isn't.

faility fail

A couple, if that.

One

I'm betting on 2-3. Probably back by GW4 after internationals. Same with Aguero and the rest of the WC players.

GW3 he'll be back (Arnie style).

These Germans could well surprise many and start gw1. Depends if they've been training in their enforced break or not

2 IMO

Debuchy is in my team for arsenal coverage and attacking potential, lovren is not because pool's defense is leaky

CPL/QPR, STO/SWA, NEW/SUN in that order for me

456

that's pretty good. the question is, how points from from the field. they should show that.

That sounds good, I haven't seen too many higher than that. Most are sitting around the low 300's mark.

Be careful with this. Some players are highly rated due to last season stats and not taking into account transfers and pre-season. Other players have low values despite being good - this is because there seems to be added in a % chance of starts into the value. This is not realistic - either they start or they dont.

My teams have ranged from 305 to 325, which is ok imo.

Considering Mata

Sturridge ftw

Thinking of going Costa but I'll probably just play it safe in the end.

Chambers is sounding interesting, but I don't thit it's worth it. Probably won't start beyong gw1, so you've almost forced into a -4.
Rest of the team is good, though I really don't know about Baird.

Interesting team. I'm seeing a lot of Begovic which I'm not sold on. For 0.5m more you could get DDG for the long term.

The defense is interesting but could work out great. I remember last season it was Jenkinson who was surging up the ranks starting every week, and Chambers could be one of those. Will Baird start? Also I'm struggling to find a 5th mid, and Isgrove is alright I suppose. Any other alternatives there?

Otherwise, solid looking. Like the Austin punt.

Villa fan here, El Ahmadi will most likely not start especially if we get Sanchez, would stay away

Lurker? That's unlike you....

You happy with that GK rotation? Like the rest of the lineup to be honest, I see you have no Man City or Liverpool players which is a different look to most...

Long time no see Camzy.

That is a well balanced team, struggling to find any fault.
Im sure you are aware
- Im still concerned about rotation/ starting places of CH back 4
- Bojan, personally not on this one. Alll good if goes well but if not it will take 2 transfers to make him to a 6.0

To be honest great team. If time have a look at mine above?

maybe im crazy, but i dont think Luis is as nailed on as people think he is...

Why Rosenior over Chester?
The team is really nice. Have you considered rotating Bojan & a midfielder (Sigdursson is a popular choice). I'm not sold on the strategy, but I'm not sold on playing Bojan every week either.

It's very close between the 3. Avoid all of them

Lovern and Evans

Probably Evans and Shawcross.

Do I have to? It just seems like a lot of wasted money to me. Would rather Cahill/Terry and 4.5.

Austin

Weimann

Fletcher

Bojan

Rio and Nedum I think

and

YES 100%

Caulker, Rio and one of Hill/Dunne? Think they play 5 at the back? Not sure though.

PVA is glued on, obviously. 🙂

It's really not a great idea to be planning a WC that early in the season. I'm not the best person to be telling you this since I plan on WCing between 7 and 8, but that's just because there's too many factors that point towards it being the best time to use the WC. Could I suggest that you display your bench anyway so that people can give you better advice regarding your whole team, for all I know there could be a much better way to spend your money than having a 5.5 defender that you rotate despite magnificent early fixtures, but I wouldn't be able to tell you what it is because I'm not sure who your 5th mid and 3rd striker are.

Aside from that little rant, it looks a decent team.

I really like that team. Of course you have made compromises in def due to the awsome mid. My original was v much like that but bottled it a did Sanchez to Ramsey.
as long as your two 4.5 defenders are starting it all good. Chambers to Chester when Mert back. Its a good team if u brave!

Who's your 5th mid?

Lamela!

Coutinho

Neither!

Yanga has started in pre-season at CB

You might wanna get some more players tm

Nice team! And very similar to my team, I have:

bego 4
evans kaboul 4.5/4.5/4.0
Ramsey hazard hendo Young 4.5
Rooney Costa Sturridge

I figure that if neither of the heavy hitters or young start firing it's an easy downgrade to jump on a bandwagon.

I'd try and find 0.5m for Zamora to Jutkiewicz who will play until Vokes is back for Burnley. Yes, Moore and Duff are the safest 4m options in defence. Great team though.

Considered the best player of all time.
