At this point, yes.

But he gets used as the 5th midfielder. Although with kagawa and Powell, Jones might go to anywhere at the back this season. If raf starts the season rb then we will know. It's a GW1 punt

Valencia too 😉

Morning Clicker

Gday mate

Hello, there! 🙂

Morning LR.
Have You Joined the Deadzone & FFS India Leagues?

Aguero

See my name. 😉 .

Jaask>Fed
Downgrade vidic
You never know where you stand with Richards
Upgrade pog with money saved from vidic

Your bench is way too strong.

I wouldn't go anywhere near Richards. Olympics, plus Mancini seems to prefer Zaba instead lately. I would downgrade Vidic. I'd think a bit harder about the goalie's selections too. Too much money tied up in DEF. your midfield and attack looks interesting though.

Don't go anywhere near Richards.

Richards is at the Euros right? Worth the risk? I haven't been following so I would look into that if I were you.

The Qatari Sugar-daddy is selling. Should be good news for Gunners, just find some schmuck to sign-off before they sell. I was watching the news (here in Spain) that, from what I could gather, the sheik is a bit overextended cash-wise in some huge port project...done huge, the Qatari way. I just hope someone doesn't sneak in at the last minute and outbid Arsenal.

Dangerfield!!!! You an Adelaidian?

Anyway, I don't like Tevez's chances of playing 90 minutes each week but Bent could be a bargain at 8.5 considering the attacking tactics of Lambert. Personally, I like to back the expensive strikers like Aguero and Rooney then have a cheaper value pick like Graham or Pog. Bent's price is a bit inbetween.

No, although I think Bent will do well this season under Lambert. It's unlikely that Tevez will get consistent game time, he had a big fall out with Mancini last season, I don't think the manager likes him.

Jelavic looks good at 8.5 (keep an eye on Podolski too)

The Tevez and Aguero dilemma is my biggest Pain in the rump at the moment. I would usually pick Ag all day long but I need the money for Rooney. Starting to think il just go without for Rooney and get Ag instead.

2 big hitters the way forward for me

S. Taylor is having a fantastic pre-season. He's surely very capable to score. I like the balanced defense better even though Ivanovic might not play a few games.

I think Hangeland or Rangel can act as a "big hitter" because of their fixtures. For example, I have Hangeland who will start all GW 1-9 except against mun and MCI.

i am going with 2 big hitters (lescott and cole) + Mccantrey,Fonte and Cuellar (rotation)

your a bit light up top. drop walcott for a 6.5 and upgrade Zamora to Jelavic

Im trying to be construtive but that is a very poor team. Keepers are way too expensive to rotate. Defence needs more money and Hughes/Rafael/Bramble are not guaranteed to start. Forwards are too weak too. I think you could do better by using the auto-selecr button 🙂

I've said it before on here so i don't want to sound like a broken record but never a fan of doubling up on any "line" of the same team (hazard,lampard)

Thanks guys...@clicker i thought so too i just think walcott could score against sunderland..will take him off after two or so weeks for valencia.
@smurf the keepers are my tactic this season.more value in howard than hibbert over a whole season. it could backfire though but i will try it.bramble could be cuellar, though with turner joining nowich soon i dont see how he will fail to play.hughes is surely nailed on over senderos i think! forwards, valid point...could change there so easily by selling lamps.
@Revsfc2013 noted...i dont rate torres too highly, thats why i have lamps.

thanks, guys for the comments, much appreciated.

From your team I only have Cole. just saying

cheers mate

yea seems so, says current team history not available, then the previous three seasons.

Works

I quite like it but would use that spare money to upgrade one of Noble or Guthrie. not sure who HBA is

Nice team TBH. No major problems so if your happy with it id keep it.

Reply fail 🙁

if you play 3-4-3, Maloney or Noble will start every week?

Very good, now. I would prefer Ivanovic, Yaya and Dyer. I think you are good to go, though.

solid 7
Begovic has horrible fixtures to start the season so that could be a problem, swap rangel with williams as williams is better, midfielders and strikers are solid picks

Larsson to Maloney Bale to Mata and Torres to Rooney?
free up the remainder 0.5 somewhere.
If Mata startin i'd trust him over Torres anyday

he could be fantasy gold yet again

i can't Cisse doing so good like he did last year

Ba should stole some of his goals

if fixures are better he could be my 3rd striker

Gonna defo consider him and B.Arfa from GW 3 onwards.. Could be the perfect replacement for Torres owners.

I think it's a case of wait and see. Cisse stole the limelight last season and it could be the same this season. I agree, if he can get the goals he is a bargain

When I want a Newc player it will be Ba

Interesting looking at Ba vs Cisse for the last 6 games - judging by those stats it's hard to believe that Cisse absolutely dominated him.

Id stay away a while , needs to re-prove himself IMO.

Lip service to Chelsea. What happens if Dempsey goes to Liverpool?

Neither. That is the wrong question. 🙂

B

A imo. Covers utd.

A

not if the press are to be believed

Not sure looks less likely as the days go by, pure greed by ade it seems,
The problem when you sign for city is that they just pay too much and when it comes to leaving its a huge drop-a Ade might be prepared to sit on the bench all day and collect 200k ish rather than actually play for spurs getting 100k.
Tbh that's why Revez is still there - "it's all about da money"

not sure about clichy starting, also bale might be injured now, otherwise looking good for me

also never sure about howard, Everton seem to never get the clean sheets that they should in my opinion

Very solid defence even though I would throw some CHE defender in there for Fonte and downgrade Ramires to Noble. Petric is a huge punt iMO

We only have in common Aguero, but Kagawa, Bale, Sinclair, Hangeland are good picks!

Petric, Torres= too much risk, and u already have kagawa as a bet!

Please RMT too :

Federici, DDG
Vertonghen, Fabio, Cahill, Williams, Clyne (i dreamt this night that fabio had scored on the first day)
Hazard, Siggy, Dyer, Noble, Maloney
Rooney, Aguero, Vaz Te

I think my team lacks dempsey, and a city defender, what do you think?

Thanks

I'm not sure if u need such an expensive bench. U'll need to bench one of ur front 8, so u'll have at least one >6m player not playin. I would downgrade Ramires (who probably won't start anyway) to noble/maloney and upgrade Kagawa to Valencia or Hangeland to Ivanovic/Cole.

It would seem that way but I am still struggling to see who will play out of that massive Chelsea midfield besides Hazzard

Yes. Now the rotation worries starts.

De Gea still under threat of rotation, imo.

Chelsea ...

Is he a starter?

Nick Shorey

he plays for reading

Nicky Shorey will curb his game time.

Gunter is more nailed-on

No a sure starter with Shorey joining. Le Fondre scored penalty in one of the pre season games.Not sure if Harte was on the pitch.

Yeah, he's actually 4.5... 🙂

Way toooo much Wigan sir...

You see that thing, top right? Ticker, right? Have a look at it please, and then see if you feel the same about Wigan.
