The Rate My Team Discussion

With so many of you seeking advice on their teams before August 16, we thought it would be 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.

Kicking off today’s RMT discussion is Ryan. Here’s his selection

DeGea, Gilks
Ivanovic, Van Aanholt, Chester, N Taylor, Wisdom
Ramsey, Sterling, Lamela, Siggurdson, Young
Rooney, Costa, Jovetic

Ryan’s biggest concern is his cheap defenders. Any ideas for improvement there? Is he right to spend so much on Ivanovic or to trust in Stevan Jovetic replicating his preseason form?

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

    I just couldn't help myself and go fully loaded up top 🙁 ! Final draft and i can't see myself changing .

    Mannone(Krul)
    Naughton/Wisdom/Chambers (Vlaar/Clyne)
    Mata/Coutinho/Oscar/Ramsey
    Giroud/Costa/Rooney

    i knew my defense is kinda on the cheap-low side but i hope my top-7 would balance it out .
    Differentials : Oscar/Coutinho , i usually like three players under 10% but at this point is think it is too risky .

    Feel free to comment and thank you all for your wonderful contributions all through this Hectic Period

      Hi
      Do not care about "differantials" now. Focus on a balanced and nailed on team.
      Wisdom and Chambers = Yes will play but not for long, then you have a a problem
      Chambers = Not nailed

      Coutinho = Might be very very very good this year, but wait and see. Diffuclt open games.
      Oscar=Wait and see
      Giroud = Could go with him, IF: You did not have as many in-the-grey-zone-players.

      That my opinion.
      Cheers 🙂

    Someone tell me why this isn't the greatest team ever assembled for 100m.

    Foster // Guzan

    Chambers // Terry // Jones // .........(Duff // Moore)

    Ramsey // Mata // Sterling // Eriksen // Sigurdsson

    Rooney // Costa ....... (Weimann)

    It'll be 3-5-2 most weeks, until i don't feel the need to cover so many potential midfielders starting out this season..., but Weimann starts this week over Siggy.

      Every other Team has the same assembly that's why ..

      Are you not worried about City coverage, last seasons highest scorers.

      I like A better because it gives you the option of 352 or 343. Although I do feel like Costa is going to do great this season.

        I reckon I'd like some United defense though.

    (Repost) This is my first (well now 2nd) RMT on this site, any glaring problems?

    Beg/Krul

    Jones/Chambers/Chester (Bruce, Moore)

    Haz/Mata/Siggy/Rambo

    Costa/Rooney/Jovetic

    Stuck between picking Jovetic and Dzeko, have .5 to spare.

      Not crazy about the defense. Chambers will only be nailed until Mert is back, and don't like Chester/Bruce.. think it would be better to switch Bruce for another 4.0 (Hutton/Moore/Duff). I have Dzeko in my team for now (def want City coverage) as I think he will continue to start when Aguero returns.

      My team is looking similar. Feel like I want Chelsea defense. In order for you to do that, you'd have to downgrade Haz most likely to Fab.

    Schmeichel (Krul)
    Terry, Jones, Chambers (Hutton, N Taylor)
    Hazard, Mata, Ramsey, Dorrans (Siggy)
    Rooney, Costa, Jelavic

    Drop Chambers for Chester after GW1 probably.

    Thoughts..?

    Please RMT:

    DDG (Myhill)

    Cahill - Cameron - Caulker (Neil Taylor - Clyne)

    Hazard - Ramsey - Mata - Siggy (Marney)

    Rooney(C) - Costa - Bojan

    I've tried to have a strong midfield. Caulker rotates well with Clyne and Cameron rotates well with Taylor. I put Rooney and Costa up front to complete a strong front line, but decided to take a punt with Bojan. Any comments/advice/criticism is most welcome.
