Today’s Members article sees the top ten defenders in terms of value come under the spotlight. What’s noticeable with regard to our projected points per Fantasy pound is only one of our top ten defenders ranks higher than any of yesterday’s top ten goalkeepers- with “Save” points boosting the goalkeeper tallies, it highlights the importance of picking the correct goalkeeper pairing in order to get the most out of your budget…

              There are only 4 nailed on starters... Cech, Terry, Cole, and Lampard... All expensive...

              A risk would be:
              Luiz, Malouda, Drogba, Torres or I am tempted by Kalou - little under rated, 10 goals and 5 assists in 1570 minutes for £7.5m

        Thanks Yeates. Everyone is a bit of a rotation risk there, Malouda might be a good bet but he's so expensive I'd have to take out a fair few players to accommodate.

        Similar story with City, Silva is in the same boat as Malouda, so Yaya Toure is an option but I'm not sure if he could continue his form from last season.

          Thought of Bent to Zamora to free up funds...? Both have similar fixtures?

          £3m difference...

          Save £0.5 on Skrtel to £5.5m Dunne good fixtures

          Therefore you have the £9.5m for Silva ahead of Barton or O'Hara

    What would your opinions be on backing Andy Carroll top prem scorer? 22/1 with paddy power, 1/4 the odds for 1-4?

    50 each way im thinking!?

    i reckon they’ll adapt their play around him this season with the purchase of downing and seeing how creative suarez is and even Adam on set pieces…and although he prob wont finish 1st, i can definitely see him finishing in top 4. giving me odds of almost 6/1 to finish top 4.

    advice greatly appreciated…

      You got my response on the last post - will answer your Kelly question as I can't anymore back there:

      2 weeks ago I would've said go with Kelly. I'm a huge admirer of his, but now, I think Flanagan is better. Flanagan really gets stuck into his challenges, whereas in the last few friendlies, Kelly has given the wingers far too much space, so I'd stay away from him until he gets into his rhythm.

      If you are thinking of each-way bets you will lose half of your stake so its actually odds of around 9/2 for him to finish in top 4.

      Not saying its a bad bet, but always best to get the odds correct (crosses fingers someone doesn't prove him wrong...).

      First team looks very similar to mine but with Suarez instead of RVP being the big difference. You only have one solid defender in Kompany. Jol has promised attacking football so one predicts Fulham will concede more than last year. Rafael isn't nailed on as a starter.

      I like it, a lot like my last edit (could go back to at the drop of a hat). I think O'Hara for Taarabt is a little more "I know what I'm getting" pick. Zamora is this years Odem if he stays fit, Suarez is a must have as we hope he starts GW1, maybe go RVP first week and do the Drog/Torres thing after they've put in a gw?

    Hi

    Please rate my team

    Scwarzer
    Enrique Baines Kompany
    VDV Moses Taarabt N'Zogbia
    Holt Zamora Tevez

    subs: Given, O'Shea, Simpson, Sinclair

    Please note I have 2.5m in bank. Thinking of changing VDV to Malouda after GW1, and also if Tevez leaves just a straight swap for Van Persie.

    What do you think??

      i'm also predicting that Enrique will no longer be at Newcastle with this selection.

    RVP Bent Zamora

    if i change zamora to holt, i can save some $ for upgrades to either rafael or dyer but am a bit concerned about lack of fulham cover. would love to buy johnson or dembele for 5.5 but too much rotation risk there.

    Would be interested to hear whether people are relatively certain that Bramble will be in Sunderland's starting 11?

      Rafael Rio Vidic Evra

      Raf - started 3 of the pre season games at RB (2x full 90mins)
      Rio & Vid nailed on
      Evra - was rotated with Fabio over pre season games

          Scored in last game too (when pushed forward into a RW role when Smalling went to RB)

          Couple of assists in the first two games too....

          £5.5m is a bargin BUT - fixtures are poor!

      Cheap for a reason, only Clichy will play most probably. Even then he's under threat from lolarov.

      Too many City defenders I think, and don't see value in Coleman at £7m.
