That's a difficult combo to decide on, both are good, I would be leaning towards Given and Hughes, purely because Young/Dunne/Warnock/Collins are all competing for defensive positions along with Clark, and Hughes is pretty nailed on, and just because Clark got 3 goals last year doesn't mean he will get any this year, not enough to go on for me, Given & Hughes better.

clark looks like a sub

I actually quite like it. Seems like everyone is updating their website this season 😉

I lubbs it

I have a metro team for the fun of it. Pretty sure the team I have for Metro would have cost me 150+ for fpl But I still prefer fpl by a country mile.

Ramsay will play further forward than Wilshire yeah.

Wait and see. Wilshere will play deeper, but I just feel there's no rush to get him in.

Just because he will occupy the Fabregas role does not mean he will be able to match his output and fill his boots successfully.

Think it all depends on this weeks transfers mate.

I get the horrible feeling that Nasri and Cesc will both go...and be replaced with a couple more prancing wingers. 🙂

If this is the case and no centre mid is signed it will be Song, Wilshire, Ramsey, with Ramsey given the most freedom to roam/get forward.

I've currently got him in my team as no matter what happens I think he'll play vs Newcastle.

I've got him, playing for a decent club offensively at 6.5m. Before the Shawx leg break, he was a regular starter. I think he will prove worth his value.

He could be one we regret not having. I can't decide.

Ramsey is a quality player. As soon as it looks certain that Fab/Nasri are off, then he's in my team. Won't get points as consistently as Fab did in his prime, but bloody hell, he's half the price. Got a great shot on him.

He's scored some amazing goals in his time, but I really like this one against Portsmouth. Shows a bit of everything you want in a midfielder in less than 5 seconds.

The ninja turtle connection was a strong pull but eventually I decided he was just too much of a risk.

fabio was competition enough, now he has smalling too

People in our country only want to pay for one water cannon an army thats so small it can no longer protect its citizens at home and shrunken police force....Maybe we need to think about our priorities!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I read this as fact, then was broken by the Carling statement 🙁

Water cannons work against static crowds, not this type of disorder.

unknown

Spurs 🙂

No one............ He was never going to start anyway.

Like it. Possibly a bit OCD and taking the whole rotation and patterns a little far but I like it.

Looks very nice, maybe you'll have a little bit of a luxury problem on who to bench.

It's good, but mine's better 😀

You don't need 2 star keepers espically Reina in my opinion. Too costly for a start while liverpool r having a poor preseason, while conceding alot.

Rafael is not a definite to start, while cahill has a tough start to the season--So maybe think about changing them. Maybe a stoke defender like woodgate for 4.5. Free's up money.

If u did what i suggested above you would be able to free up a nice bit of money to help bulk up your midfield.

I had Drogba 2 but am unsure if he will even start so i got in Rooney instead.

Now that's a fresh look. Wasted cash in the Keeper position. But I guess you have plenty to spare. Maybe a bit too balanced? I wouldn't do it but then I have not been comfortable with the dozens of configs I have come up with either; trying to balance big names with cheap filler. Specifically I would question:
Rafael (rotation), Sagna (rotation, fixturs), Cahill (fixtures), Huth (fixtures & too much $ on the bench). Mids (no heavy guns or captain material), Roberts? I know little of Blackburn's staring team but...

N Zogbia and RvP imo

Silva may or may not play as much or be as involved if Nasri goes to city which looks inevitable, and Carroll is a gamble at the moment, though with Downing now supplying crosses, it may work?

Silva and Carroll BUT you need a 12.0 striker for max flexibility.

A

Same here, if this site gets blocked at my work, I'm leavin'!

I'd swap Brown for Bramble, Brown Cheaper while also likely to get an odd assist along the way.

I'd Downgrade Kuyt to Downing which free's 1.5 which could let you swap Silva for Toure, who is going to play more defensive this season.

I'd also get out RVP as their 1st few games are rather difficult and maybe get Rooney.

I have a funny feeling that Benyoun will start for chelsea so if you put that 1mill on top of getting Taraabat out you could afford him, just my opinion though bud.

What do you know about him?

Nice!

Why does he have no L in his name?

Petrovic will be one of the best players this season, just wait, but I think that we should wait a little bit until he adapt to premier league

No Man U

almost the same as every other team on here so not bad.

if that is bradley johnson for norwich in midfield, he wont start.

I'd swap Downing for Adam. While Cabaye would be a better option than O'Hara.

Try looking up players on google and check their stats and play style etc.I've been making my team for the last 3 weeks.Keep changing my team due to many things.Injury,riots etc.I have alot of players that players don't have here eg I hear everyone with the same mid (nani,n'zogbia,silva)and everyone has really cheap defenders.I have Vidic,Malouda,Moses etc.

Both

Silva for GW1, Malouda for GW2.

new mid is more a defensive midfielder apparently

Its unlikely as Petrovic is a more defensive minded midfielder I believe so he is probably not going to be competing with Formica for his position but neither has their positions locked down yet.

Bramble is full of mistakes.I think Huth is a little over-priced.Good team tho if Drogs start.I had Nani but took him out as we(United)have a very hard start to the season.Obertan is a risk seeing he only ever scored 4 goals.And what is RMT

Obertan? Is he a nailed on starter in the first place? I'm a manutd fan and i don't quite fancy him. but he could still do well in his new club though. Watch how he fits in before you get him IMO.

I like that team, quite similar to mine in places.

I remember when I made that joke.

I don't understand.

Just what the afghan people need... heavily armed rioters turning up in their country. Army is too good for them anyway.

Can we throw in their parents for good measure?

Nah if they thought it was a JOB they would run 100 miles the other way

with both gone. yes

I dont think they would have any other choice! Hes a good player though, i thought he was miles ahead of wilshire before the leg break.

i doubt motivation level of Arsenal players going into the new season....unless AW sort things out before then, you might be better off picking potential 6.5s elsewhere...

Malouda and RVP (if fit)

Nani and Drogs

haha 2 complete opposite opinions....f*** it guna put in malouda, nani, rvp and rooney in

if they get about 10 injuries then yes

No chance, will probably get 0 mins in PL this season.

Will malouda play every week? He got rotated a lot last season

I’d go for the second option – only Rooney is a nailed on starter out of those 4.

I fancy nani over rooney but not sure about drogba. If he plays he will outscore malouda and rooney imo, IF!
