Having rolled out a Selection Guide to Goalkeepers earlier this afternoon, we now switch focus to the Members Projections for our search for the men between the sticks. While Joe Hart predictably sits out on top, we focus on value in this first Members article, examining those keepers who are expected to deliver the best points per million ratio for the season and the first six Gameweeks…
I wouldn't worry about no spurs defence tbh. Not sure about Nasri but i like the rest

Sorry got caught on last post:
Ok guys, 4th draft here and I think I’m happy with it bar two things (no Spurs defence and lack of United midfield). Defence rotates well. As does the midfield which I tried to balance to allow for a heavy hitting front 3. All comments appreciated thanks!
Vorm – Jaaskelainen
Clichy – Cole – Hangeland – Cuellar – McCartney
Nasri – Pienaar – Larsson – Michu – Noble
Aguero – Torres – Adebayor
Transfers for GW2: Cole + Torres –> Fabio + RooneyOpen ControlsReplied on last page. Also i'd have McClean over larsson. He was so much better than larsson last year when they both played
Open ControlsTrue, the Nasri situation and Mclean/Larsson will be sorted nearer the time. However if Larsson is on penalties like rumored I think I'll take a piece of that
Open Controls
The onlyway Sunderland score on Arsenal is via a set piece of some sort, or penalty. McClean is a decent lad, but his game is highly predictable and easily scouted. He won't have Mertesacker tripping over imaginary grass goblins next meeting I'm sure. Choose wisely.
Open Controls
Well there's no Ade deal yet so I'd take him out until something goes through. Freidel is probably easiest spurs defence to fit in. United midfield is minefield at the moment, Tony V and nani are only 2 id consider for wk1.
Ade-> Bent/Tevez
Vorm-> FreidelOpen Controls
The midfield and defence post your Cole transfer scares me
You gotta ask yourself if Aguero will score 50 pts more than Tevez, but then also account for the upgrades you could make with that cash elsewhere
for example - would rather have BAE + Siggy + Tevez ($24.5)
than Cuellar + Nasri + Aguero ($24.5)
So while Aguero might net you 50 more pts than tevez, the added benefit of a BAE over a Cuellar should sway the decisionOpen Controls
RMT vol2:
Fed DDG
Clyne Ivan Lescott McCartney Cuellar
Mata Taraabt Pienaar Maloney Silva
Pog Rooney TorresOpen ControlsHazard will? This chelsea midfield makes me want to get Nzogbia for Mata and replace Pog, but noone safer to replace with
Open Controls
Maybe neither
Open Controls
I can't see Pienaar being regularly involved in goals
Good player but never been a great fantasy performerOpen ControlsHe was awesome when he went back to Everton on loan last season
Open Controls
But he never has been before (as a fantasy prospect not as an actual player).
Everton also scored a LOT of goals for them over that period - which if they keep it up he'd be a great pick but I'm not sure they will.Open Controls
The Spurs playing here must be pretty much his stongest available
Open Controls
A) De Gea, Cerny, Bale
B) De Gea, Federici, Siggy/VdV
🙁 can't decideOpen Controls
Why is McCartney appearing in loads of teams all of a sudden instead of Demel have I missed something?
Open ControlsIt's a question of who seems the most nailed on
Open Controls
McCartneys a left back
Open ControlsI like Demel's fixtures better
Open Controls
Repost
De Gea/ Federici
Clichy/ Hangeland/ Cuellar/ Wilson/ Demel
Bale/ Kagawa/ Michu/ McClean/ Noble
Aguero/ Torres/ Graham
2 mil for Torres to RooneyOpen Controls
very nice team. Clichy and Kagawa need a bit monitoring I reckon, but you are very close to having a superteam to begin the season with.
Open ControlsOnly 1 Chelsea player for the dgw might want to change Bale to Hazard/Mata
Open ControlsI plan on transferring Torres out at the end of GW1 I don't think it would be worth taking the hit to transfer a Chelsea mid out as Bale for me is absolutely essential for GW2-GW5
Open ControlsBale in Hazard/Mata out week 3 for me standard Torres-Rooney week 2
Open ControlsI figure Bale will have a better shot in GW2 against West Brom than Mata/Hazard will against Newcastle. Though i understand you won't want to take a hit.
Open ControlsYou are probably right Bale will prob score better week 2 than a Chelsea Mid it comes down to will Bale score more in his game against West Brom than Mata/Hazard will in a dgw
Open Controls
nicer last name?!
Open Controls
Asking again whether anyone has any advice on:
A. Bale and Tevez
B. Pienaar and Aguero
B would free up .5 so I could then replace Lampard with Bale for the 2nd or 3rd week.Open Controls
New Member.
Rate My Team...
Cech
Lescott, Jones, Clichy
Pienaar, Van Der Vaart, Dyer, Lampard
Graham, Aguero, Torres
Begovic, Clyne, Fonte, Guthrie
Plan to have Lampard or Torres as captain for GM1 then will be transferring them both out after GM2 and replacing them with Young and Cisse.Open ControlsWhich Jones is this Phil Jones?. Lampard better options available he will be playing a deeper role so you'll be relying on him for penalties look to upgrade to Mata. Upgrade Van der Vaart to Bale possibilty of Van der Vaart rotating with Siggy.
Open ControlsJones looks likely to be involved with other united injury doubts... although these doubts could lead to goals being conceded
Open ControlsYeah, Phil Jones. I really like Van Der Vaart, scores goals, gets assists, takes penalties etc... think he'll be more likely to get more minutes now that Saggy Face has gone (kept taking him off early last season).
Point taken over Lampard, I've actually got 0.5m left over so could upgrade to Mata. Will definitely consider it, cheers.Open Controls
hangeland, clichy, koscinely, jose enrique or anyone else for a permenant defender
ive got cashley or ivanovic as my first defender sturggling with my 2nd one

Morning D-Zoners.
Open ControlsEvening
Open Controls
thattreblefeeling do you have anyone else for the draft league and if so how are you going to do the draft?
Open ControlsNot yet First post on it here this evening. Discussion will have to be had on the Draft rotation alright make it as fair as poss
Open Controlssounds good i'll try to advertise a little too. 6 player cap?
Open ControlsYep think so for launch season anyway make it easier as far as transfers are concerned. Was thinking we'd use the league Forum for transfers so you'd have to check other participating teams from previous GW then post your transfer
Open Controls
So who is everyone now favouring Mata or Hazard to begin with?
Open ControlsDoesn't matter after GW2 when they turn into Bale
Open ControlsHazard > Lampard > Ramires > Mata
Open Controls
Why do you rate Mata so low?
Lamps is a rotation threat and playing deep, Ramires has a friendly abroad 3 days before the League kicks off (and is an unspectacular fantasy option to say the least).
Mata is out of the Olympics 2.5 weeks early, is Chelsea's best player, and who's got set pieces in his locker. He's in my team before any of the rest of themOpen ControlsWell honestly its a crapshoot with the chelsea midfield. I'll reserve judgement til the community shield. However in my opinion Fat Frank will start and play 120min+ wk1. I can't wait to see Hazard play and I'm sure he'll start the first game at least. Ramires is the fittest man alive so if theres any possible way he can play, he will. Mata will be sacrificed imo to show off the new signings, he's been to 2 tournaments this summer, granted he played very little. I like Mata but i think he's my 3rd or 4th choice for the start of the season.
Open Controls
Mata now he's back early. With Big Ivan.

do u think Ba is gonna play in the starting eleven this season?

Couple of slight changes, thoughts on this team would be appreciated, I'm pretty happy with it as it stands:
Friedel/Federici
Rafael/Clichy/A.Cole/Gunter/Cuellar
Kagawa/Lampard/Pienaar/Noble/Britton
Torres/Aguero/Petric
2.5m in the bank, planning on Torres-Rooney and Lampard-Bale in the first week or so.Open Controls
My AVB alarm bells ring louder. Bale up front, a position he will not play this season. Slow, unbalanced looking. Its past the stage of using friendlies to get fit, its about getting your side working together. Siggy has been awful, Lennon likewise. Not impressive so far.
Open ControlsBale has been given the number 9 shirt hasn't he? while i don't think he'll play as a striker is there a possibility for him to be playing in a more central position?
Open ControlsMy major problem with that, is why play one of the best left sided attacking options around out of position. Put a specialist cm in there, thats what they are for.
Open Controlsplayed a couple of games through the middle last year. dont really see the point of it, he's lethal on the wing and the have VDV and siggy now to play in the hole. can't see him playing there when the season starts
Open Controls
We don't have any strikers yet. Defoe had to return home, Kane just played 90 mins vs. Liverpool and VdV is injured (shock). Won't be the case in a couple of weeks time.
Chill Winston.Open Controls

That's a lot of faith in Torres! Adebayor's future is unsure and Pog - I'm still not convinced. Richards is not a guaranteed starter, nor is Cahill (or even Rafael). Mids and keepers look alright tho.
Open Controls
see where pienaar ends up first,
rangel to start withOpen Controls
This is my team:
krul / mignolet
bardsley - simpson - ferdinand - clichy - mertesacker
pienaar - song - carrick - ramires - meireles
aguero - torres - petric
Any suggestion?Open Controls
Carrick, Song and Meireles out, none are fantasy material.
Also get rid of Ferdy & Per, they're both a tad old/sluggish now.Open ControlsSong was top 20 overall with 13 assists and 1 goal last season. At 6.5 he for sure is fantasy material imo.
Open Controls
iam abit worried about the carrick/ ramires/ meireles combo
better players in both those teams you could have. chelski over killOpen ControlsDouble New & Sun defence is risky.
Open Controlsany suggestion about carrick?
Open Controls
Is more or less every single person on here convinced RVP is leaving the premier league, or is 13m for someone who completely crushed last season somehow bad value? I'm baffled he's being so overwhelmingly overlooked...
Open Controlsbetter over opions arounf him Podolski
Giroud
Arteta
SongOpen Controlsnot sure if serious?!
Open Controls
exactly! preliminarily speaking, he is still an Arsenal player! 🙂
Open Controls
If he stays in the premier league i fully expect him to get injured again can't see him going to united at city rotation galore. I am surprised Chelsea haven't bid for him they need him more than the other 2.
Open ControlsThe only reason United are trying to get him is so that Citeh don't get him...
Open ControlsI'm not too sure on how interested Fergie is in him to be honest I just get the feeling he is possibly only declaring his interest in him to over inflate his price and make City pay over the odds for him time will tell though
Open Controls
This. Surprised that the Chelsea winger-buying spree has continued unabated this transfer window when their CF options are sparse to say the least.
Open ControlsIf Chelsea were to buy to Van Persie they would have a serious shot at the total but no they're going to rely on Torres :/
Open Controls
I have this weird feeling he is going to get injured severely
Open ControlsIf he stays in the Prem will reconsider... to date he is left out.
Open ControlsYou will all find it is by far easier to change your team taking him out, rather than trying to fit him in!!
Open Controls
To be honest, wherever he is at the start of the season I won't be having him.
Arsenal = shit fixtures
Man Utd = prefer Rooney
Man City = prefer Aguero.Open ControlsCos bad fixtures stopped him last season...
But na, fair enough. It just seems like the fantasy football scout community forgot that last season ever happened looking at all the RMTs.Open Controls
