Not super bad but you get lots more points from midfielders and strikers so it's ideal to play 3 at the back
this is my team i could drop ward and have 5mil to get a midfileder or drop soares and have 6 and am not nailed down on lukaku ?
pantilimon
soares martin ward annholt
hazard milner bolasie ozil
rooney lukaku
I would personaly dpwngrade soares and maybe try and get benteke/pelle instead of lukaku if you're not too sure
thanks man i was thinking of dropping soares for lescott then lukaku for benteke its just i keep hearing four at the back is super bad so i dont know what midfilder to get if i downgrade my back line ?
Players like bentaleb, colback, clasie, kouyate, obiang are all cheaper options that will regualrly get tackling and passing bonus plus pop up with the odd goal or assist. I'm going to bring bentaleb in to fund aguero once he's fit and firing again
thanks for all the help man i have 11.6 mil for 2 midfielders should go for payer and gardner or you thin bentaleb will start ?
No problem mate, I'd go with payet and bentaleb as he will defo start. Good luck man!
thanks man helped me out loads hope to take my mates money this is my final line up what you think
pantilmon
richards martin naughton
hazard bolasie ozil bentaleb payet
rooney pelle with 1.9 left to buy aguero
thanks aggain for help
That looks brilliant mate, I'm sure you'll win your mates money
Which 2 to play for GW1?
Bassong V Palace (H)
Francis V Villa (H)
Prodl V Everton (A)
Cedric V Newcastle (A)
Getting closer to a final draft, be brutal!
MYHILL
LESCOTT/ PRODL/ DAWSON
WALCOTT/ MILNER/ STERLING/ SINCLAIR/ GRADEL
ROONEY/ BENTEKE
Captain plan for the first few weeks is:
1) Rooney (TOT) > Walcott (WHM)
2) Walcott (Cpy) > Benteke (BOU)
3) Aguero (in for Benteke) (Eve) > Walcott (ARS)
4) Walcott (New) > Rooney (Swa)
Walcott not playing ARS gameweek 3, should be LIV obvs
west brom have got some tough fixtures in the early weeks, so using 3 of there defenders probably isn't wise.
Kane or pelle for first few gmws till agueros back?
Dont take into consideration price
Pelle
First try at sky sports league. This team any good?
Schmeichel
Huth / PVA/ Dawson
Haz/ Ramsey/ Richie/ Mane/ Mahrez
Rooney/ Sakho
Enough in bank for Rooney to Aguero when needed
Thanks
overall quite a good team, but I wouldn't double up on Leicester defence
Good point. I could change keeper to Pant or downgrade Huth to Richards or Elphick. Probably Pant best option. Thanks for feedback
Is this ok
Hennessey
Turner
Target
Coates
Ozil
Hazard
Milner
Tadic
Pelle
Lukaku
Rooney
Stuck on the whole team which currently is 74.6 million
Looks good. I would replace Lukaku or Pelle with a cheaper striker like Wilson and then make small upgrades to your defence. Keepers like Panto and Defenders like Jenkinson can also be very effective over the course of a season.
Hi
My team is:
Panti
Azpi/Dann/Coates
Cazorla/Milner/Henderson/Ritchie/Awey
Rooney/Pelle
Thoughts?
I wanted ivanovic as i see Chelsea keeping a lot of clean sheets, however reading the forum (ie get cheap defenders) made me compromise and just pick azpi.
Also unsure about benteke or rooney and whether to bring depay in?
Finally happy with my team:
Panti
Jenko Targett Amavi
Hazard Sterling Bolasie Tadic Payet
Rooney Kane
Thoughts?
Very strong in general I reckon. Is Targett nailed?
Can anyone tell me how I hide my team?
what do u mean
Click on the team name then press the other button that looks like a padlock.
ARE WESTHAM OUT OF EUROPE?
IS naughton in the swansea team ?
Hi
Couple of teams set up for this, both with enough money spare to transfer in Aguero for game week for, could you let me know about them please.
Pantilimon
Ivanovic-Jenkinson-Ward
Hazard-Ritchie-Mane-Payet-Van Ginkel
Lukaku-Pelle
Adrian
Soared-Huth-Van Aanholt
Hazard-Adam-Sinclair-Mirallas-Tadic
Rooney-Kane
Good spread across the two teams, should give you a good shout of one doing better and being able to save those precious transfers.
The other can have the early transfers if needed.
Hi all, what do we think of this team honestly?
Cech>Clynne>Cedric>Azpilicueta
Cazorla>Ramsey>Hazard>Mane>Sinclair
Pelle>Kane
Subs: Hennessey>Richards>Taylor>Berahino
Do you think Fabregas should be picked for the midfield and lowering the 3rd striker price?
No Sobs in the SKY game.
This is link for the main topic on the site atm.

😆 *Subs* The sobs take you by surprise later. 😉
Well after many hours tinkering away, this seems to be my final team (until I have a rethink tomorrow!)
Panti
Elphick - Cathcart - PVA
Depay - Hazard - Cazorla - Mane - Lens
Rooney - Benteke
Looks good to go mate, only issues are double sunderland defence and cathcart playing time but other than that it looks great. Loving the lens pick (got him myself)
Been doing my head in
Hennessey/Mccarthy + Theo + 0.5 (Agueor Fund)
Ruddy/Butland + Ozil
How's this look?
Panti
Haidara - Muniesa - ??? < 4.8
Hazard - Ramsey - Sterling - Mane - Jurado
Rooney - Benteke
With money to do Rooney > Aguero & Sterling > Depay at some point
Looking good mate, not to keen on stoke defence myself (with shawcross being ruled out) so possibly amavi/morgan/jenko instead?
How about this?
Guzan
Soares - naughton - muniesa
Hazard - schneiderlin - bolasie - mane - lens
Rooney - benteke
Would get panti/schmeichel instead of guzan who won't get many clean sheets. Love the midfield tho, security of bonuses with scheniderlin along with 4 potentially explosive wingers!
Finally (think!) I've got my team sorted:
Pantilimon
Jenkinson Morgan Amavi
Hazard Walcott Milner Chadli Payet
Rooney Pelle
Have £0.2m in the bank.
Any suggestions? Not sure about Walcott, Chadli or Pelle, am I just overthinking things?
Once Sanchez is back I can't see Walcott starting, all depends on Girouds form. Personally I would be looking to downgrade Chadli and get Ozil Ramsey or Cazorla instead to play it safe
Walcott starting depends on Walcott's form.
People just don't get that he is so important to Arsenal when fit. Bizarre
He was fit from Feb(sh) onwards last season but didn't start, Wenger doesn't love him as much as the fans do.
This is what I was thinking, will probably see how things go with him, i'm not overly optimistic. May take out Walcott, Chadli and Pelle and put in Aguero when he's fit along with Cazorla and an in-form cheap midfielder - bit of a minefield at the moment picking players!
Do we know of schneiderlin will start tomorrow ?
I expect we will start him tomorrow yea, it's up in the air atm. I'm waiting on Herrera
First season playing sky. I dont really know what Im doing
Schmeichel
Jenkinson Ward Van Aanholt
Depay Hazard(C) Walcott Chadli Abdi
Aguero Rooney
Let the games begin!

Quick question....
I've set up a private league extra but have people wanting to enter a team late (after this weekends games due to being skint, etc). Can they still enter after the start of the season?
yes jan 31st latest
Cheers, much appreciated. Hopefully get a few more latecomers in my league.
Signing up on a whim, can I get a quick RMT before the deadline?
Panti
Jenko, Ward, Dawson
Hazard(C), Walcott, Depay, Sinclair, Lens
Aguero, Pelle
Side question, how many people play more than 1 team?
Looks very solid due, good luck and keep on top of it!
Many people do use 2 teams but i dont have the time so just use the same team on both until last few weeks
Cheers, I've done a bit of tinkering to avoid some tough fixtures for the 3 at the back. I'm glad there's nothing glaring in there though. Best of luck for the season.
One to watch out for is Watford defender Layun who is priced at 4.0m yet played in the in attacking front 3 and scored a goal!
If he nails the spot he could be a great enabler
He's 4.5
No hes not....
This is the Sky game............
Nice, he didn't score any for Watford from around 18 games last season, but presumably he was playing further back? Is he likely to lose the spot once Abdi returns?
Dis from the team you posted how did you only end up with 6 points? Appearance points for Rooney, Kane, Hazard, Amavi and clean sheet and a few knocked off for PVA...
Jurado
I thought he got an assist G/W 1 ( given in fpl ) yet he is only on 2 points in the SKY game.
I Was listening to commentary on this game and it was clearly stated he was the assister?
Haidara got an assist on FPL but not Sky, no idea why. Disable, any clue?
anyone else bringing in Aguero & Sanchez this week?
I'm thinking about bringing in Sanchez this week
Thoughts on this please
I've got Mané (C). I'm looking to bring in Ayew today but I'm not sure who I should take out to have the same captain plan.
A) Give C.Wilson (C) vs Liverpool for Monday night and he will continue on to the following Saturday vs West Ham (A). Then Aguero having it Sunday vs Everton (A). This means Rooney will come out for Ayew.
B) Keep one captain this week and sub him out for Aguero tomorrow. Meaning I have Aguero captain the following Sunday and then change it to Theo Walcott vs Liverpool a week on Monday. (Callum Wilson would come out for Ayew today)
You know you've missed the deadline, right?
No, I can still change my captain once
Did you go with option A mate? Cos if you did fair play as wilson scored a hattrick!
what should i do i have Bentaleb, Nabil who is not play should i switch him for Albrighton, Marc
Pelle to gomis?
8 years, 8 months agois 4 at the back super bad ?
