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…
Got A Cole in side for Chelsea cover. Is Benayoun worth a punt at 7.0 or just stick with Fat Frank or Malouda
Open ControlsWill have to keep an eye on Benayoun, AVB seems to like him so he may get game time, but at best he will still be rotated imo..
But at that price he may be worth a gamble.Open Controls
First draft:
Al-Habsi Given
Kompany Senderos Cole Kelly Distin
Yaya N'Zog Taarabt Brunt Dyer
Odemwingie Rooney Suarez
Midfield looks fairly s**t to me.
Going to be my first year without Lampard.Open ControlsMaybe think about dropping Rooney for Zamora of Roda and then you'll be able to pick up a big-time mid.
Open ControlsJust can't do it.
United have a tough start but Rooney is a monster on his day and fixtures won't matter to him, so he's a must have IMO.Open Controls
I've not got any ManU attacking cover due to their tough fixtures at the start. TOT ARS CHE in the first 5 weeks.
I would look for a big name striker with easier fixtures, then swap Rooney in later, or if he suddenly comes alive. He was a bit damp at the start of last season.Open Controls

That age-old question rears its ugly head again.
Sinclair or Barton?Open ControlsBarton as hes on pens freekicks and prem proven keep with the tryed and trusted
Open Controls
Kuyt - Vdv - or Silva?
Open ControlsHere is a question for you all, regarding strategy for the upcoming season.
As the first few game weeks can be a bit of a lottery, what with new signings, new managers, new teams etc, do you think it is better to field your strongest team right out of the gate, or field a slightly conservative team with money in the bank to tinker.
I keep flirting with the idea of putting out a strong-ish team with a few cheap gambles, and 3.0m in the bank to get the in form players before their price rises, in order to give me more spending power later in the season.
The only problem with that is that by christmas everyone's teams are very similar and captain choice is often the deciding factor.Open ControlsI am a fan of picking your strongest possible team. unless you have a CERTAIN player that you MUCH bring in by a certain gameweek then you should plan for that. but if you are planning on multiple transfers etc... don't bother. things will change from week to week that you would never see coming. bandwagons will form that you didn't anticipate and then there are unforseen injuries and rotations that surprise.
come out of the game strongOpen Controls

Couple of risks here, pretty similar to everyone else's I think, desperately waiting for more transfers to confirmed. It would be so nice if they could get all of the transfers finalised before the FPL deadline, we should all lobby for next year. Anyway, what'dya think?

Al-Habsi (Ruddy)
Rafael, Samba, Kompany (Naughton, Simpson)
Taarabt, Silva, Gamst-Ped, N'zogbia (super jack)
Drogba, RVP, Zamora.
Im thinking maybe RVP out for gervinho, (will wait to see the line-ups/performances @ the emirates cup) mainly because RVP hasn't looked sharp in pre-season at all, I know its only pre-season but its not as if he was'nt trying to score ...
plus i'd appreciate any thoughts on the rest of the chapsOpen ControlsWhat bet did you lose for you to put MGP in the squad? 🙂
I'd stick with RVP over Gervinho - at least until things settle.Open Controls
Torres or Suarez...
Open ControlsGiven/Kenny - good rotation for home games for opening 6 fixtures
Kompany, Hughes, Young, Simpson, Alcaraz - good rotation for home games for opening 6 fixtures
Lampard, Toure, Taarabt, Sinclair, Barton
11.5m, Zamora, Carroll...
Choice of striker... RVP or Rooney and change Carroll to Suarez....
Or wait to see the Aguero price...

1.0 in the bank
Thoughts?Open ControlsI am having trouble between 2 players...
Carroll or Suarez (leaning towards Suarez as I don't believe he will be rested)
Yaya Toure or Silva (Silva will get assists and is more integral to offense/on set pieces but Yaya is cheaper and gets forward and scores goals)Open ControlsSuarez and Silva. I'm all about classy players, I suppose. Plus, I expect Silva to shine in his second season in the EPL. Just watch out for him playing CL.
Open ControlsSuarez may not be rested, but look @ the form of the majority of WC players @ the start of last season (most of them were rested), suarez only has 3 weeks to lay on a li-lo, get drunk and sleep with hookers, (not accusing him of any of the aforementioned acts, im just thinking what most men would do in said situation)
kenny will not pickOpen Controls
Pick two from Lamps, Kuyt or VDV
Open ControlsMalouda or Van der vaart??
Open Controlsi'm starting w/malouda then bringing vdv in when fixtures ease up.
Open ControlsSo you both think total opposites
Open Controlsno, what he says is ideal, but why not just have malouda from the beginning and not have to worry about wasting another transfer on that after gw 1? chelsea playing stoke and spurs home to everton aren't too drastic to need that kind of a switch - they're about the same level of difficulty.

VDV at least you know he will start and is on pens.

Interesting news on Senderos starting for Fulham. Hadn't really been keeping up with their pre-season, but it definitely looks like he's a starter for the Cottagers now.
If this continues, and he nails down a first team spot at CB, he'll be a much better pick than Hughes. Right backs traditionally score terribly at FF, and Senderos is cheaper too.
Matthew Briggs as well is one to watch. He'll be the steal of the season if he plays OoP at 4.0 for Fulham.
Hopefully we'll know more before the start of the year, but at this rate, I'll saving money on Hughes, and that money really helps up top!Open Controlsis briggs nailed to start though you think?
Open Controlsenrique might be a good buy if he heads to arsenal or liverpool too given his pricetag.
Open ControlsHOLD YER HORSES! I am a Fulham fan and there is no way the Hughes and Hangeland partnership will be broken up for prem!
Briggs wont play either.Open Controlssenderos has played 1 match at cb. easy tiger
Open Controls*2. he's played both 2nd legs after fulham wrapped up the games in the first legs

Lads,
A) Lamps and Ba

B) Malouda and ZamoraOpen ControlsLamps is a starter defo and Ba wnt be playing 90 mins.
Malouda isnt def starting but Zamora will and has great fixtures.... I KNOW! its like they are doing it on purposeOpen Controls

RVP, Suarez, HoltOpen ControlsMarveaux fit and starting against Columbus Crew this evening. Could be a good alternative to Ben Arfa (plus you save 0.5)
Team tonight -
Harper; Tavernier, Saylor, Coloccini (C), Enrique; Gutierrez, Gosling, Tiote, Marveaux; Ba, Ameobi.Open Controlsyeah but he will be fighting against gutierrez as cabaeye will be starting and barton...no certainty
Open ControlsWell Jonas would be on one wing, and Marveaux on t'other. Routledge is gone, so who else would contend for a wing place in the absence of Ben Arfa? Lovenkrands possibly but Marveaux I imagine would get in ahead of him.

I seem to be the only one on here with Torres in my team. Why? Surely he will start most games? I imagine it would have come up in AVB's job interview! How do you plan to get the best out of my new £50m striker?
