Taylor and Orr I think

Moreira, mate! 😉

in the hole i believe

4-3-3 formation with Benayoun playing effectively as an advanced midfielder, Lamps has played a bit deeper and allowed Benayoun to be the main playmaker, the other midfielder has played a more defensive role but no players have been restricted from going forward. I am confident that he'll get a lot of gametime if we dont sign anyone; Modric, Kaka etc, although the Modric deal looks increasingly likely.

Hmmmm. Downing and Bent.

Thanks

Very similar to mine. See below. Like your strikeforce

Hmm...no Chelsea cover??? I have same defence and forwards but I have Malouda-Downind-Taarabt-Sessegnon-Moses in the midle. (and Huges instead Shawcross)

No need to yell

I'd change your caps lock button. It's clearly broken.

What would I change?... well for starters, the upper case to lower case...

And Rooney to RVP, but these are both just preferences...

My eyes are bleeding

well, he'll of course he'll get games. how many is anybody guess. 'a third' is as sensible an answer at the moment.

yes. young left valencia right nani on bench or maybe even sold on.

will Rafael and Nani be nailed on starters? am not so sure

given and al habsi combo is too common for my liking, rafael place at right back is iffy, wilshere doesnt score the points, nani could lose out to valencia, tiote is a risk due to position and bookings, plus newcastle look set for a poor season, holt, i would be reluctant to put faith in and odewingie's opening fixtures arent great. other than that good team. 🙂

Thanks, by the way

9 - 9.5 i reckon

vermaelen could be a key differential.

Not convinced Albrighton will be the star everyone expects; doubt he'll even be a regular starter.

Cole and Moses, definitely.

First!

If I was spending that much I would want someone who will not be a rotation risk. It's annoying but they aren't going to leave Torres on the bench for all the games. I would love Drogba at that price but he might be rotated.

its not even about the title anymore, even without the signings they'd still arguably be the best side in the prem. the money invested is more to do with challenging barca in europe.

go to the doctor then

No we had the title already. We are boosting our squad with many players retiring this year and Sneijder might not even come yet!!

De Gea is essential because we need a goalkeeper to replace VdS.

Jones is a young player and could end up replacing Rio in the next 5 years and Young is there in the place of Giggs.

We are certainly not buying the title if you compare us to City, at least we have a very talented youth team and many players almost ready to go into the first squad.

Disagree. Jones and Young are very good Prem signings but they won't take them to the next level. Sneijder however....

....but man city spending the rest of the league into the stone age is OK? 😆

Don't worry, when Bolton have sold Cristiano Ronaldo for £80 million I'm sure you'll be able to buy whoever you want! 😛

Chin up Cheggers, Cheggers chin up.

Is Sneijder actually going to United?

I know the Mirror is going hard with it, but BBC/Grauniad/Telegraph are completely ignoring the whole thing.

Richards, Toure, Kompany, Clichy

richards, kompany, lescott, clichy

Not at all

that all depends on whether or not you're a gambling man

He's in my team currently, it's not like any other 4.0's would get any decent points. Briggs could be an OOP could be decent.

Pretty sure Briggs will make way for Davies/Dempsey. Riise to keep LB.

You're not serial?

spurs and arsenal have tough starts as do stoke, dembele not fit yet, id give ashley young 3weeks before he gets going especially with uniteds fixtures some chelsea and man city players needed

Quite refreshing to see an original looking team.

New team every day eh Dan?

If you can't play moses at home to Norwich when can you??

2 mins.

Might be less seasons if their isn't many who have played that long.

ratemyteam.co.uk has a feature called Hall of fame which looks at the best managers over the 5 years that FPL has been running. Sounds similar to what you are planning.

I'd be up for that, I've done 5+ years.

Interesting stuff, this transfer window needs to come back to life.

If Alex goes, that makes Luiz and I suppose Ivanovic better options and saves some money getting Cole.
