Moving Target – Danny Graham

it's good, if a bit too much like everybody else's. 😉 bit iffy on your keeper choices is all....

Mirallas > Fellaini
Silva is a good option.
Giroud is a good risk imo.
Turner or Olsson as an OOP
He's too expensive... Bale is a must.
Anelka is a good choice.

it take a really brave man to go without RVP & Bale!
I would probably drop kaboul for a 4.5m nailed on starter and upgrade fellaini to countinho though

most people are going for jrod ahead of lambert 'cause of the gulf in price. lambert might end up being an awesome differential, or a waste of extra money, we'll see. mirallas over fellaini anyday. kaboul is slightly worrying to me 'cause id expect caulker and dawson to get some game time.

3 5 2 last season got me to the top! I'll be doing it again I think

Closely followed by 3 4 3...

not an expert but i'm going with a 3-5-2! Hazard, Mirallas, Snoddy, Countinho & Etherington as my midfield!

Nothing wrong with 3-5-2. Imo there are many strong midfielders whereas not so many must have strikers. I play 3-5-2 most of the time and have done quite well by it.

I think I prefer 3-5-2 once I've built up a bit of team value. I'll probably start with 3-4-3 because the cheapest playing mids are about a million cheaper than the cheapest playing strikers. I don't know whether that's a popular strategy; it might explain the prevalence of 3-4-3 in RMTs.

Either formation can work well at any point in the season though.

the latter, bit dubious about fulham early on. i still really like nolan as a pick though, he'd be in my team if it weren't for the carroll injury.

url fail 😀

this is one of those rare teams that i actually really like despite it having lots of differentials. props to you!

in one of the hot topics, someone explains with statistical evidence (i didn't verify its accuracy for the record) that nolan did significantly worse without carroll last season. i personally think he'll still do okay, and if it wasn't for snod he'd still be in my team, but it seems carroll's absence does tend to impact him a little. and this makes sense considering how often he benefits from the big man's knockdowns.

Mate I am a HUGE fan of Nolan. But he really is nothing without Carroll. I checked stats but also remember another pivotal game where WH scored 3 goals, Nolan fed off Carroll superbly. When Carroll was injured Nolan became no threat on goal. He became about as scary as Charlie Adam.

davis is likely a second string keeper, so if you're gonna get a keeper who doesn't play get one with less ownership. his price is gonna fall like hell.

A over B definitely. and i think spreading around attacking cover is a better idea m'self, rather than focusing one team. of course, it's a different matter if that one team has incredibly good fixtures and the other teams have bad fixtures, but that isn't the case here.

Downgrade Mignolet and get two keepers that rotate.

hmm. maybe giroud and kone instead of lamb and berba. or j-rod and sturridge.

Aguero and Sturry for me at this point in time but leaving rvp behind is tricky 🙁

Negredo and Benteke so far 😉

there was a list posted not long ago about players who seem to perform regardless of fixtures. RVP was on the list 😉

i think you're right about those two being the best second strikers, unless you wanna get both rvp and aguero like m'self.

I'm gonna give the little kun 3 games see what he's got for me. You'll wanna monitor Danny's fitness.

C for me. although if you can get snodgrass and switch rvw for kone (or mayyyyyyyybe aspas), that might be even better.

Lets throw away the CPL players as w/ TOT, STO, SUN, MUN & SWA to star the year we probably won't see them anyway / easily replaceable bench fodder.

So, leaves us with:

RvW - Kagawa (Not in on this as UTD have some tricky fixtures & would prefer to see how Roney plays out.)

Negredo - JRod (Like this combo w/ the run of fixtures each club has. Feel JRod is great value for 6mil)

RvW & Giroud (Would be a close 2nd to above & if MCI rotate their fwd line then it'd have to be 1st in my mind)

even with the new bonus system benefitting him i don't think arteta represents value for money, personally. aspas is a bit of a punt, but there's at least some potential for a decent total, whereas with arteta i'm not so sure... i like kone more than aspas i think, and snodgrass/nolan more than arteta, personally. but if everyone picked the same guys it'd be boring 😉

The set piece takers tab has been updated, have a look here:

Aguero only had Balo infront of him. Dont know about Snoddy

gooood question. would like to know this myself.

Leaning RvW on pens for NOR.
(Snodgrass in the mix)

Aguero for MCI seems clear cut choice.

Morisson for WBA.
(Brunt in the mix)

Happy to hear if I've read incorrect / outdated info though...

Aguero was ahead of Tevez on pens anyway I believe - only Mario was ahead of Aguero when he was there, so I think Aguero is fairly likely to still have them.

Snoddy has a great chance of getting pens also now that Holt is gone. RVW another contender imo.

West Brom - I think this used to be Dorrans then Brunt. Odem and Morrison also in the hunt. With Anelka joining it's a bit of a guess, but I'd guess Dorrans/Brunt will still have them

"Scotland international Graham Dorrans made no mistake with the resulting spot-kick and completed the Baggies' victory."

How has Walcott gone in the warm ups? I'd only go for one of them.

RvP, Bale, Walcott, Hazard, Lambert

To start the season.....

Bale
Hazard
Enrique
Anelka

i wouldn't touch chelsea at all before gw4, still think that's gonna disadvantage tons of people, but we'll see. my essentials are rvp aguero and bale. 😉 nothing's gonna stop me having baines too though.

meh. he let me down a bit last year at 5.0, so i'm definitely not touching him at 5.5. always a chance of some points now and then though, with pens/set pieces. just nothing from open play really.

Personally, I'm leaning Jarvis over Nobel.

-Played more min.
-Scored equal amount of pts to Nobel last yr.
-Has demonstrated the ability to net 130/140+ pts in a season
-Nobel has never broken 100pts

If he starts cold then it's an easy horizontal move to your original choice.

Nice team Al.

Sturridge is coming back off injury and no pre-season. No thanks.

B by a mile.

At this stage I'd go with B as well. I also have a similar question

Aguero and Walcott 20.5

Silva and Giroud 17.5

1mil looks good. But when starting Sturridge was the best striker around at the end of last season and Giroud is still not someone I would rely on IMO.

Walcott and Sturridge both seem like big hitters to me, but both of the second options have struggled with consistency. But as stupendous pointed out sturr was injured so maybe check up on his status.

Option B. Coutinho ownership is a bit worrying though, if he flops, he'll potentially drop fast.

But then you could say the same for sturridge.

Nope. God please change your Grav. Puked a bit in my mouth answering you!

Seems to be

Turner Collins Clyne plus two others

hmmm no , we been hearing it for days

i'm a utd fan and nothing would please me more. i think kagawa is amazing and has been CRIMINALLY underused and misused so far since his move. i want rooney to get lost and kagawa to take his rightful place behind RVP.

........but i wouldn't bet on it.

majorly downgrade any combo of hazard sturridge and rvw, to get rvp, and you basically have my team. 😉

"no one is guaranteed to start but hes my best friend and i hug him at night and we eat waffles together all the time"

its conceivable that westwood, kaboul, azpil, pozuelo, kagawa and negredo all won't start gw1. no reason to have vlaar instead of baker.

your sub defenders are dubious to say the least, otherwise looks good! kagawa too much of a risk early on for my money, i'd maybe get snodgrass and upgrade one of your strikers. of course, i'd argue you should have bale, but that'd take more of a reshuffle.

So the Kagawa one is a good punt for sure, but its a punt, and the start of the season IMO is a time to get going through the gears.

He for me is one to keep any eye on. I mean lets say you start with someone similar price and safer. How about Ben Arfa, Cabeye or even the Siss at Newcastle. All almost Kagawa price so you could shift in a hurry, but let say you keep them for 5 gameweeks until Utd's fix clear.

WHU
FUL

HUL

That looks pretty good to me then you run into (when chaning to Kag)

WBA
sun
SOT
STO

Seems pretty good trade off 🙂

Downgrade Zab to Nasty and squeeze in Walcott for Coutinho.

Robles and Westwood/Mannon. e for Mignolet and Given.
