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…
A or B?
A) Bale, Valencia, Torres +1.5m
B) VdV, Rooney, LampardOpen ControlsOscar worth 8.5 ? Are all chelsea MD not a huge rotation risk ? 15 listed... what a joke
Open Controls15*
Open Controlsanyone got a handle on chelsea front six? my understanding is they will be starting 4-2-3-1
Open Controlsthinking
Lamp - Mikel
Ramires-Hazard-Mata
Torres
thoughts?Open ControlsPerhaps Meireles over Mikel.
Open Controlssurely marin in there somewhere.... thats what i mean. rotation fest
Open Controls
He's playing for Brazil at the Olympics too so I can't see him playing many minutes at the start of the season. I'm taking a wait and see approach for the entire Chelsea midfield, and going for Torres and two defenders.
Open Controls
No mention for Al-Habsi in this article?? Disgrace. Yes I know he plays for Wigan, saves + peno saves, simples
Open ControlsSpoke about him earlier....those 4 pen saves distorted his total last year and the odds on him repeating that are obviously against him. With Boyce pushed forward at wing-back at the same price and Alcaraz 0.5 cheaper, I just don't see Al Habsi presenting value.
Open Controlshmmm, interesting. I kinda led the Al-Habsi bandwagon on here. Don't fancy either Green or Migs as i need to double up. Foster interests me, but the cheap rotations just don't. Not prepared to go over 9.5 on keepers
Open ControlsThe problem with Habsi and his pen saves is that if he does get any, they will most likely come in games that you won't play him in anyway, presuming you're rotating.
Open Controls
My first RMT... (the usual '2M spare for Tevez to Rooney GW2')
de Gea | Federici
Lescott | Ivanovic | Cuellar | Jenkinson | Williamson
Hazard | VDV | Nolan | Ireland | Sinclair
Torres | Tevez | Pogrebnyak
Any glaring errors?Open ControlsWhy isn't anyone talking about Zabaleta as a way to save 0.5 and get Man City defense? He's more nailed on than Clichy for the first 3-4 games of the season given that Richards' Olympics participation.
Plus he was pretty influential at the tail end of last season and even bagged a couple of goals.Open Controlsas much as i like zab as a player, i wouldnt touch either with a ten foot clown pole
Open Controls
Can any City fan tell me how nailed on Richards is?
And can any United fan tell me how nailed on Rafael is?
Only taking into account the 1st few weeks here.Open ControlsVidic and Evans are struggling at the mo. Ferdinand was charged by the FA, so I would say the chances of Rafael playing in the first few weeks is high.
Open ControlsYeah I noticed Vidic was 75% but figured there was still time for him to recover. Guess if I get Rafael that would give me money in the bank to swap Torres for Rooney in GW3 aside from that anything else need tweaking?
Open Controls
both at olympics, wouldnt consider either for WK1 while their still involved
Open Controls
Hey guys what's peoples thoughts on my team?
DeGea / (Jaaskelainen)
Lescott / Vidic / A.Cole (Tompkins) (Fabio)
Hazard(v) / Yaya / Noble / Dyer (Britton)
Aguero Torres(c) Graham
No £ left at all, any feedback and comments would be great, I can't promise I'll listen or agree but would appreciate any feedback 🙂Open ControlsAny comments would be helpful, where would you change this team:
Friedel Federici
Terry Lescott Cuellar Demel Fonte
Hazard Kagawa Taarabt NDyer Maloney
Aguero Torres Graham
2 mill in the bank for the obvious.Open ControlsI love it. We all know we can't have everything but this covers most imho.
Open ControlsI still think Hazard+Kagawa is too much uncertainty - 18.0 on players who haven't ever played in the PL. If you must have Chelsea coverage then Mata is the one for 9.5, the main worry for him when we first started RMTs was that he'd have a long olympics and that's off the cards now. Personally I'd forget the 9.5 Chelsea altogether after GW1 and go for Bale if fit.
And for Utd, can you not find 0.5 extra for Valencia? A must-have towards the end of last season when he got fit, and showing no sign of letting up.
Saying that I don't mind having ONE of those two, but two just seems needlessly risky.Open ControlsCompletely agree, im thinking of getting Bale in after the first GW depending on how he is playing obviously... If he aint playing so well then I might look at other options
Open Controls
Midfield is really dodgy. In Hazard and Kagawa you have two players who may need time to adjust to a new league, I would wait to see how Taarabt starts before putting him in as he was poor last season. It's worth starting with more realiable performers from last season- Pienarr, Bale etc for midfield. Perhaps save a bit of money on your defence and upgrade your midfield?
Open ControlsI see your points, I see Hazard as a good pick due to the fact he will be starting with going against the easier sides and he seems to be settled into the team already within preseason, so dont see him as much as a risk. Kagawa is for United coverage and think he will proceed quickly in the league with the comparisons where he came from. Pienaar is however a gd pick but everton always start slow.
Open ControlsHazard may be a good pick, as may Kagawa and I may take one, but I wouldn't start with both. I'd wait until the Charity Shiled to see Chelsea's line up and performance before deciding who to take from their mid. Man U start with tough away game to Everton. Could wait to see how they do in this before taking one of thier midfielders.
Open ControlsI think Everton will surprise this year. It's when cliches such "Everton will start slow" are thrown about that the rule book gets chucked out 🙂
Open ControlsHaha so true but then it will be hard to shave the money from somewhere, maybe Lampard could come in for Hazard then I could use the 0.5 to bring in Pienaar. for Taarabt..
Open ControlsI'd like to agree, the law of averages has to kick in sometime and they have only sold Cahill - but...
Open Controls
Ivanovic over Terry covers the possibility of a ban.
Open ControlsHazard to Lampard. Baloney to Colback.
Open Controls
Where shall i start
Open Controls... at the very beginning. It's a very good place to start!
Open ControlsSpurs?
Open ControlsYou know your midfield contains many issues

My first ever request for RMT. Would really appreciate it as i've been so used to picking players for TFF so would really appreciate some good advice.
Federici, Jass
A.Cole, Lescott, P Jones, Ridgewell
Noble, Siggurdson, Ramires, Pienaar, Guthrie
Rooney, Aguero, Graham
1mill in the bank. Considering Ramires to Yaya after GW1 already, really want Chelsea coverage for GW1. Being a Reading fan my heart is ruling my head on replacing Siggy with Hazard from the very start..
Thoughts appreciatedOpen ControlsDrop p jones lad
Open ControlsNot sure how much gametime Ramires will see in the double gw. If Yaya continues his attacking mid role in charity shield I would have him for GW1. Don't see many clean sheets from the gk combo. Good front three and defence, even if the defence is a bit expensive for me. If bale is fit I'd have him over Siggy. If you downgrade one of Cole, Lescott or Jones you could upgrade one of your midfielders, most likely Guthrie or Noble.
Open Controls
Who would u upgrade using the 1.5 mil left in the bank?
Friedel £5.5 Rudd £4.0
Harte £4.5 Cahill £6.5 Hangeland £5.0 Koscielny £5.5 Cole A £6.5
Bale £9.5 Allen £5.5 Noble £5.0 Pienaar £6.5 Yaya Toure £8.0
Aguero £11.5 Pogrebnyak £5.0 Torres £10.0Open ControlsAllen to Maloney. 2m for Torres to roon pig. Not keen on pog at all mind
Open ControlsDump Cole/Ivan for 4.0/4,5 and upgrade that mid.
Up front, I can't see past Pig & Kun at the mo.Open Controls
Parm you still on the Al-Habsi wagon? Mark talked some sense, but other than Foster (who's only decent 4.5 rotater is Bego) I don't see much better in the market for 5 million (especially as Migs has no decent 4.5 rotator)
Open ControlsMigs and juuski fam
Open ControlsThis.
Open Controlsmeans doubling on Sunderland defence. Not necessarily a bad thing. Would keep Fed though
Open Controlsthis is my problem. You still Al-Habsi and Green?
Open ControlsAlready have Sunderland cover is not an excuse! Cuelluar may or may not be your best option, dont dismiss that avenue so quick.
Open ControlsCuellar is the cheapest option, but maybe looking at Migs and getting a different rotation to Newcaslte/Sunderland could work.
Open Controls
I think i'm just hanging on, although Given & Begovic are giving me the eyes...if you know what I mean.

How do they rotate fixture wise? Cos Foster and Bego looks good
Open ControlsBegovic is always under threat from Sorensen. Not nailed on at all - I wouldn't touch him personally.
Open Controls
Cole or Ivan ? Cole is the safer option, but Ivan for goals. Cant decide
Open ControlsIvanovic, imo.
Open Controls
Mclean or Seb Larsson?

2M in the bank.Open ControlsLads i convinced the boss to put up 2 grand in prize money for a fantasy foot league so please join up. code 460489-120362
Open ControlsSeriously, we usually do something like money back if arsenal win the league or 5% bonus on accums or something so I threw in the idea of a league to get the younger punters interested and he set it up.
Open ControlsAnd didnt even ask you to advertise the company?
Open Controls
You need to join Betpack.com to get the weekly 20 euro prize paid into your account but you don't need to register a credit card or anything.
Open ControlsEven so it isnt a bad deal
Open Controls
Money leagues are better advertised on a close friend, work place basis. Not on an internet forum.
Open ControlsEspecially not a forum where everyone is a FFS addict and will be a real danger to your winnings.

Just spend around two hours on that Comparison Tool. Very insightful stuff!

Kolarov is definitely playing for Team GB in drag!
Open ControlsAny thoughts would be very appreciated 🙂
Vorm
williams - assou ekotto - m.richards - s.taylor
kagawa - dempsey - y.toure
rooney - tevez - aguero
ThanksOpen ControlsRobin Salmon don't play by the rules.
Open ControlsYup 🙂 seeing as they have an easy first 4 games ( up unitl the first transfer window in the sun) thinking of swapping either tevez or aguero for torres?
Open ControlsRooney - Torres - Aguero is the front line of champions, so i would drop Tevez 🙂
Open Controls
Yup, you're missing four players for a start.
Open Controls
Michu or Pienaar
and Aguero or Tevez?
Cant decide.Open ControlsBoth? Not sure ill have the cash given I will prob bring in rooney in gw2
Open ControlsWell then Aguero because he will undoubtedly score the more points and wont be rotated as much.
However Tevez will continue to score good points and is a world class talent for 9 mil. Which is why I said both.
Guess the question really is will Aguero score over tevez enough to justify the extra 2.5 mil, that im not so sure about.
In other words i have no clue. Flip a coin...Open Controls
Hey all,
RMT pretty please.
GW1 Starting line up
Federici (De Gea)
Demel A Cole Lescott (Cuellar Fonte)
Silva Maloney Noble Hazard (McClean)
Aguero Torres Pog
CheersOpen ControlsYou could have got an rmt from one of the many, many, many, numerous similar teams posted here.
Open ControlsIt's actually quite depressing, I started this evening as follows:
Schwarzer Jaaskeleinen
Demel Cole Lescott Cuellar Fonte
Yaya Kagawa Hazard Lallana McClean
Aguero Torres Pog
and as i've read more and more articles and comments the more I've been persuaded by these cookie cutter generic teams 🙁 sigh. As much as this sight is useful and great for rankings, it really does get to the point where the fun gets taken out of it at the beginning of the season... Ah well.Open ControlsIt also appears it gets to the point where I can no longer spell or write fluid sentences. (Site*)
Open Controls
I like the Silva/ aguero double-up. I don't like the lack of Man Utd attackers

those are the players i'm willing to change ^Open ControlsBale to Sigurdsson. Simples
Open ControlsThat leaves nightmares if Siggy gets injured or needs upgrading.

Open ControlsDoos is speaking a fair bit of sense here tbf
Open ControlsJust no.

Noble or Maloney to Guthrie(DGW)?
Bale might not be fit so could go with Siggy or vdV for 0.5m cheaper.Open ControlsWilson > £4.0m Scumbag
Open ControlsBale to VDV
Open ControlsMaloney to Frei who cares if he might not play, your other 4 mids will do fine if that is the case
Open ControlsWilson to Ness if you want to keep Stoke, if not Fonte or even Gunter for the DGW,
Open ControlsNess?
Open Controlsyes, he's a monster!
Open ControlsA stoke defender for 4.0! Whats the drawback? Wheres the con?
Open Controls
Loch?
Open Controls
Any love for VDV? An attacking midfielder (presumably more so than Siggy) on penalties, with good fixtures and a good FPL history over the past couple of seasons for 9.0. I've not seen him in many RMTs and he has less than 5% ownership.
Open ControlsJust a suggestion.
Since each of us will be forced into wildcarding in the January window, it would be helpful if someone could come up with DF/GK rotation ratings upto gameweek 23 (or whatever the end of WC week is)Open ControlsDo it yourself you lazy git
Open ControlsThanx for offering. We await.
