hey guys, long time no see... i found another site towards the end of last season that was no where near as helpful as this site but allowed you to load your team and you could load friends teams and it would allow you compare your players head to head during the gw. it also predicted price rises for your players. but i cant remember what the site was. any ideas?

      Hodgson is at least acknowledging that our defence needs tightening up 😉
      
      Foster would rotate perfectly with Given but I'm expecting him to come in at 5.5 which puts him out of my price bracket for a rotator.

I've been playing with my team for 2 days now, and I've come up with a couple of possibles... I always seem to end up with Cech, Ruddy, Kompany, Brown, DeLaet, Silva, N'Zogbia, O'Hara, Suarez and then the two different variations I have are:

Hughes+Alcaraz, Malouda+Mcarthy, Bent+Beckford
S.Taylor+Baines, Moses+Hoolahan, Zamora+RVP

What do you think?

  second combination is much better imo, and delaet and brown are not guaranteed starts, u might choose regular starters for that

    14 years, 6 months ago
    I'd imagine Brown is guaranteed starts- he surely wouldn't have agreed to a move from being bench-fodder at United to being bench-fodder at Sunderland, would he? And I would have thought De Laet was first choice too, but I might be wrong...
    
    Cheers for the advice though. I like the look of the second option too, but the midfield looks pretty poor... a lot of the teams posted on here seem to have fairly week midfields though I guess.

RMT PLEASE

Begavic,Given
Kompany,Olsson,Enrique,R.Johnson,O’Shea
Silva,Downing,N’Zog,Modric,Dempesy
Rod,Ba,Suarez

Keepers rotate well all season
Will play Kompany every game, other def will rotate depending on home games which also rotate well.
Midfield will play everygame
Suarez and home striker to play

Thoughts?

  agree with ozz and toure is gonna miss the first couple of games, after that and if last season form remains, kompany be higher in the pecking order than lescott. however how city will deal with rotation for CL is a different matter, as in the euro cup last season they were just playing their B team there. CL is going to be different however.

  What are you going to do to get Chelsea offensive cover for gw 2-3?
  
  There is none of the front 8 that you can swap for a lamps/malouda/drog/torres without a hit.
  
  Don't think to longterm.
  
  You need more penalty takers imo.

  not very exciting, jaglieka and cahill are not a goal threat, so you are betting on the defense of two teams that make runs of form.
  adam is rotation risk, and delap is 35 years old and he's not picking many assists as his long throws do not result directly in goals anymore, there is always a deviation somewhere that counts as assist.
  and ur bench is expensive

        I agree the defence isn't too superb. Personally I would never consider a defender from Bolton, Coyle is a very attack minded manager and subsequently cleansheets will be limited.
        
        Jags isn't the worst option but I wouldn't go for any Everton defenders beyond Baines.

        if he was a team with a good CS prospect, then we wouldnt be having this conversation, however if im looking for a goal threat defender, id turn for huth hangland, they play at teams that at least are solid defensively at home.

RMT PLEASE

Given,Ruddy
Luiz, Kompany, Hughes, Simpson, Bramble
Malouda, VDV, N'Zogbia, Taarabt, Sinclair
Rooney, Zamora, Holt

Looking for a balanced side. Jumped on the Holt bandwagon for now. Have a feeling that VB will play Malouda and Luiz from the start and Zamora's fixtures look tasty.

Any thoughts gents/ladies?

  Don't like your defense at all.
  
  Cheaper better options all round.
  
  Jagielka and Cahill aren't worth the price period for the teams they play for considering their starts. O'Shea is the most expensive Sunderland player. Get Brown or Bramble instead. Enrique likewise with Newcastle. Shawcross could be good later on, but his bonus points have diminished and he has tough fixtures.

      Yeah saw you post that earlier. Why do you think he's worth the extra?
      
      Brown and Bramble are both available at 4.5. O'Shea will most probably play at left back, and he's never been known to be a particularly good attacker.
      
      If anything, both Brown and Bramble are better prospects at set pieces.

        O'Shea Bramble Brown/Turner Bardsley
        
        Bramble, Bardsley and O'Shea are assured, with Bramble being the cheapest at 4.5. Brown and Turner will fight it out for the last slot.

    I did have N'zog in place of Benayoun and Lescott in place of Baines, I'll fiddle more no doubt but definitely going for a team approach this year rather than blowing all the cash on a Lampard/Rooney type combo. Carroll will score big with the new emphasis on attack Liverpool have, he'll be the one it's routed through...

    Oh and Keepers seem to be much of a muchness to a large extent - only the really expensive options offering many more points.

Hey guys. My first RMT of the season and hopefully the last one. I know how annoying the entire process of rating team can be.

At this point my team is the following:

GK: Given, Ruddy
DF: Rafael, Hughes, Company, Sympson and Orr.
MF: Lampard, Silva, Barton, Moses and Taarabt.
ST: Rooney, Suarez and Holt.

I doubt that I will be making a lot of changes. It depends the most on Arsenal, I really fancy Ramsey as a player so I will be monitoring the Cesk/Nasri situation closely.

      Stoke away isn't the type of fixture malouda usually gets returns from. He's the stamford bridge bully against lesser teams. Vdv is much more likely to have a good gw1 and rise. Not the end of the world if you have to make that trade early in gw2 though.

Made a couple of changes from my last team, how does this look?

Part 2

Al habsi - Given
Kompany - A cole - Wilkinson - Simpson - Orr
VDV - Silva - Nzog - Watson - Barton
Rooney - Holt - Zamora

2m in bank

3 x 4m defenders is risky but logic is that i will pretty much stick with a core 2 of cole and kompany and rotate the third playing 3/4/3 or 3/5/2 where possible

VDV is only in for the home fixture vs everton where he could do well - this also provides an opportunity to see how chelsea line up in a tough away fixture @ stoke (likely to be low scoring imo) - 2m in the bank to sway either way to lamps/malouda/benayoun etc...

        well compared to the value the likes of rooney and torres showed last season he was immensely good value...
        
        what i'm saying is i'd rather take a risk on a cheap player

  I love Kelly, I'm his biggest fan, but he's looked weak in pre-season, has stood off far too often, leading to us conceding goals. IMO, Flanagan is a better option at RB for us, he gets stuck into tackles which sadly makes him prone to yellow cards though. We'll have to wait and see if King Kenny feels the same!

  Good option for the price. Don't expect silly returns but as a cheap rotating attacker you can do a lot worse.

  Yes he is a good option imo - unless wigan completely stop scoring goals, he has to be involved significantly i think

Anyone else seen the article from Villas-Boas saying how happy he is with Lampard and the holding role?

http://www.talksport.co.uk/sports-news/football/premier-league/9347/3/villas-boas-delighted-after-lampard-excels-new-role

Doubt any holding midfield players are worth 12mil...

Would love to see Snijder sign for Utd, would make my team selection much easier! I think he would be brilliant in teh prem and I would put him striaght in my team.

Guys would you be kind enough to RMT

Obviously as per most seasons I'll end up playing my wildcard in week 3 probably.

I'm looking to shift Lamps after week 5 once I see who else is playing alongside, if Yossi is a regular then I'll get him in, enabling a stronger front line

Given / Al-Habsi

Riise Kelly Rafael Jagielka (Salgado)

Nzog Lamps Sinclair Downing (Moses)

Bent Suarez (Graham)

    Suarez, Rafael, Kelly and Riise and as I say Lamps especially if he's holding, but he's on pens and the only nailed on starter at present

      zamora is a safe option if you're worried about suarez (And could be very useful this season)
      
      rafael - i agree - you need to choose someone else in his place
      
      riise - reasonable choice but hangeland or hughes may be safer fulham options
      
      kelly - ok but keep an eye out for a new liveprool LB e.g. enrique who would be a great signing ig he goes to liverpool
      
      lamps - overpriced but not a major mistake if you think he'll do well. That's your decision

        But who will Rafael be rotated with, his brother is the only option now surely?
        
        And Kelly yes I'm aware as soon as a LB comes in Johnson will revert
        
        Thanks

      Downgrade Riise to Hughes, you get 1mil extra, use it to upgrade Moses to Barton? Or Suarez to Carroll for the first two GW's which Suarez might miss?

  That's actually a very nice-looking team. I'd swap Rafael out due to the rotation risk, and also start Moses over Sinclair for the first week, as Moses is at home to Norwich with Sinclair away to City.

  Very unsure of that defensive line-up. Far too many gambles in there for my money. You'll be lucky if they all pay off but will need some major team surgery if they don't
  
  Gameweek one is not a time for too many gambles.

Riise may be a bit overpriced. Having a defender for a side managed by Martin Jol is very brave

Having a trouble deciding on Villa coverage. To me Bent is the btter option as N'Zogs will take time to settle and Albrighton just isn't going to bring home that many points imo.
I could change Bent for Suarez if he looks like starting the season I guess but have a good feeling about Bent.
Midfield wise there isn't really anyone in N'zogs price range worth considering.
Who are other people going for?
