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…
Ok so Pienaar is officially with Everton, but is he a good pick for the start of the season? If not, who in his price range?
Open ControlsRMT:
DDG Federici
Cole Lescott Kaboul Rafael Demel
Bale Pienaar Taraabt Noble Maloney
Torres Aguero Graham
with 2 mill for Torres to Rooney GW2.
All depends if Rafael hold down the RB position early season for United? and is my defence a bit heavy? Alternatively could do:
Rafael -> Cuellar & Taraabt -> Sinclair
or just Rafael -> Koscielny
???Open ControlsMaloney (5.0) or Guthrie (4.5) as a cheap fifth midfielder?
Open ControlsRMT
Which is better people?
Team A - More aimed toward 1st 6 GWs
Federici/ DDG
Lescott, Simpson, Williams, Ashley Cole, McCartney
Kagawa, Hazard, Larsson, VDV, Noble
Ba, Aguero, Pog
Team B - More aimed towards the DGW
Federici/ DDG
Lescott, Simpson, Williams, Ashley Cole, McCartney
Kagawa, Hazard, Britton, Yaya Toure, Noble
Torres, Aguero, PogOpen ControlsTorres Aguero and Graham (plus 2m for upgrade to rooney)
or
Cisse Aguero and JelavicOpen ControlsThe dad of le Clos is a hero
Open Controlspeople still punting on Clyne....awful early fixtures
Open ControlsAnd not nailed on. I really don't get it. If you want a £4m Southampton defender than Fonte is a lot better prospect.
Open Controlscouldn't agree more. However I can offer a simple explanation regarding the punters - The people who are purchasing Fonte are let's face it not going to actuallly play him for 3 of their first 4 at least. However after this if it is established that Clyne is going to be a starter and on top of this is playing OOP and picks up any attacking returns in this time period, the punters who went for Clyne from GW1 will be absolutely laughing as not only will they not need to waste a free transfer, they will be rolling in the $$ from everybody jumping on the band wagon - so I can see their logic but I personally have gone for Fonte 🙂

Defenders are a key choice so early on, and I can see two potential minefields:
1. City's pursuit of Agger shows they are in the market for a new centre back. If it is Agger, or someone of similar quality, then Lescott is at significant risk
2. Chelsea in the market for a new right-back potentially puts Ivanovic at risk, or less of a viable option.Open ControlsCan someone tell me Sunderlands starting back 4 for the coming season? Or most likely sincew e can't be 100% about anything.
Open ControlsAnd you know this how? Brown, O'Shea and Bramble are also there.
Open Controls
I have a good feeling about Suarez this season, probably will get him in for Rooney after these first few gameweeks
Open ControlsIf Dempsey goes, he'll get more service and ... and ...
... oh, f*** it ... nope. Not even then. Too poor on finishing for me.Open Controlsno way. there's a line that shouldn't be crossed
Open ControlsIf it wasn't for all the lies and the way he drags it up every chance he gets I think I could have him in my team again it is just ridiculous the way he has gone on.
Open Controls
RMT please
Cech (Jaaskelainen)
Lescott Rafael Coloccini Koscielny (Heitinga)
Hazard Hoilett McAnuff (Song Dyer)
Petric Aguero Torres
Torres and Hoilett > Cisse and Pienaar after GW2.Open ControlsTaarabt over Toilett for sure, your team is really defense heavy....i would beef up the mid
Open ControlsBar champions league heroics cech was terrible last year. Jaask is probably the worst goalkeeper in the league.
colo to STaylorOpen ControlsUp front looks good. Its not a team I would pick but if that is the team you think is going to do well then leave it as it is and come back and mock everyone when you are top 100 at the end of September and we are all wondering how the f we are outside the top 100k to start again!
Open Controls
whats with all the love for fabio? he is a bit injury prone and has to compete with traore for lb spot, can attack well but can't defend if his life depended on it
Open ControlsHow many punts are people prepared to go with? ( punt being; new to the prem via transfer rather than promotion)
Open ControlsMichu and maybe hazard or kagawa
Open ControlsHmm, I have 4 but one of them (Petric) I'm not really happy having.
Open ControlsI think he's the best at that price. Got him and keeping him despite the naysayers
Open Controls
3 now
Open ControlsPromoteds aren't punts?
Anyway: I'd say absolutely no more than one per line.Open Controls
My final either or question of the night I promise!
Hazard and Kag
or
Siggy and Valencia
(siding with the latter at the moment due to risk)Open ControlsHazard & Kag. I would sit out United midfielders until week 2 when more is known and the Everton game is out of the way.
Open Controls
Hazard and Kag. Wouldn't go for Siggy with the VDV factor
Open Controlsbut like adam says, VDV gives competition for AM spot. But hazard has the same deal
Open Controls
RMT please:
Federici,
Lescott, Ivanovic, Gunter,
Hazard, Bale, Noble, Guthrie,
Rooney, Aguero, Petric.
DDG, McClean, Demel, Clyne.Open ControlsA) Torres + Sinclair + Rangel/S.Taylor
OR
B) Graham + Bale + A.Cole
Mata is my other Chelsea coverageOpen ControlsNearly all here say 'no' ... Shorey as a risk to time.
Open Controls
How do you find out how many people have entered fpl so far
Open ControlsI've done a bit of rework on my team over the past few days. I've been going for set pieces over good squads and I don't seem to have any United cover until after the DGW going Torres > Rooney...
I've basically narrowed it down to 2 options:
a)
Federici Jaask
Cashley Hangeland Fabio Cuellar Gorkss/Demel/Clyne
Hazard Bale Silva Michu Noble
Petric Torres Tevez
b)
DDG Federici
Cashley Hangeland Rangel Cuellar Gorkss
Silva Taraabt Dyer Gomez Noble
Torres Aguero Tevez
+2.0 in bank for RooneyOpen Controlsit all comes down to
Michu or Pienaar
and
Maloney or NobleOpen ControlsMichu & Noble. Simples. 😉
Open ControlsDoosra's anti- Maloney agenda continues 🙂 .....
Open ControlsPienaar/Noble have best rotation...
Open Controls
you got a new grav. What the hell is it though â“
Open Controls
Help me decide...Mata or Hazard?
Open ControlsHazard is this years mata. An unknown. I'd rather gamble again than stick with Mata.
Open Controls
Lampard.
Open ControlsSadly, ^this^.
Open ControlsAgree. Lampard(c) WK 1
Open ControlsCan't believe so many people want Lampard. Yes he takes penalties but I'd never include a CDM, especially with the attacking talent Chelsea have this year.
Open Controls
Any comments on this one:
Federici/Davis
Gunter/Lescott/Cole/McCartney/Fonte
Hazard/Mata/Sessegnon/Noble/Guthrie
Petric/Rooney/AgueroOpen ControlsI'm just not a real believer in Sess ... but that's really not based on much in reality, I guess. Sorta feel that McClean's almost as good for cheaper.
Open ControlsNot sure about the GKs and I think Sess is overpriced.
I'd probably go Davis -> DDG and Sess -> PienaarOpen ControlsThe extra points gained in the GK range aren't worth the extra spend. GK's give you the worst points per pound, so I'd take any 9.0 rotation, but I'm not really interested in the big name keepers.
Open Controls
anyone going into gw1 without any chelsea mids or forwards
Open ControlsPhelps just got his 19th Olympic medal and breaks previous record. Incredible swimmer
Open ControlsI have not seen Szczesny in any teams on these posts but am seriously considering him as cover for Arsenal defence. I know Jenkinson is cheap but not sure how long he'd be in the team for.
Any comments on Szczesny???Open ControlsIt's a shame you cant watch this live in the US ðŸ™
Open ControlsYep, you have to wait til 'primetime' (7pm) to watch highlights but by then you know most of the major results 😥
Open Controls
I feel ur pain after living England my whole life cannot believe the American's wait until "primetime" to show events. nbc show it on http://www.nbcolympics.com though

Evening lads.Open ControlsHi SZ. See my comments above
Open ControlsOlympic history. Decent win for the americans in the 4 x 200
Open ControlsEvenin', Ibra!!! 😀
Open Controls
Any Spurs fan have any idea of how they will likely line out at the start of the season (midfield and up front)?
Open ControlsFriedel/Lloris
Walker Kaboul/Dawson Vertonghen BAE
Parker Siggurdson
Lennon VDV Bale
Adebayor (possibly)Open ControlsCheers. Hoping VDV will start.
Open Controls
Its all a mystery atm. Parker out , Adebyor not signed up yet so other than Bale Siggy VDV and maybe Sandro there's nothing in stone
