Don't mind this although I wouldn't double up in Soton defence. Praps downgrade Lambert to JRod and upgrade Barfa or clyne

Rat > Collins frees up 0.5

Nice side, good balance. Maybe downgrade Mignolet to a 5.0 or 4.5 there are a few and go Metersacker to Toure for an extra 1 or 1.5m and upgrade Ben Arfa. Nice punt on Rat, i don't have him but expecting a bit of attacking points there. Keep an eye on Sturridge's fitness before GW1.

Haha

I'd wait before getting Negredo Kagawa and Kaboul

The Man City attacking options as I see them.

Dzeko and Negredo will fight for the striker spot and if one of them nails it down, I personally believe they will have a very fruitfull campaign with the sort of service City has at the moment.

In spite of the popular view that Negredo will be starting, I'm not yet convinced. Dzeko is a seasoned striker in the FPL, he's done well in spite of limited oportunities and I fear he will make our guesses further more complicated.

Jovetic will basically be City's Walcott on the left, same price, but classified as a forward, which really seems like a waste to me.

If Aguero (a very unselfish player) is played behind Dzeko/Negredo, the position in which he's done best in before, I think he'll be key for City this year, although I still think the striker will still be the best buy in that case (9.5 / 7.5 so considerably cheaper and likely to score a lot of goals)

This however is just my point of view and I think the pre-season friendlies will shed a lot of light on this situation.

P.S. A word of warning for all the Silva enthusiasts at the moment though, if it turns out I'm not mistaken, this means Silva and Navas will probably fight for starts on the right wing, where Silva hasn't exactly excelled last time round. If he doesn't get to play in a central position, I don't expect anything great for him.

stating the obvious but having them in your team throws balance completely off. Routledge not guaranteed starts either.

Too much money spent on defence. Should try and get 2 of Walcott/Hazard/Silva/Coutinho in that team.

Bassong > M. Turner

Baines > Collins

Chester is a defender, Thomas is a midfielder.

Chester > Clyne

10.0m is too much for keeper rotation, so Jaas > Foster

Lambert > J Rod

Thomas > Koren

Routledge > Walcott/Hazard

Hopefully that makes sense and is mathematically possible. I too am going with Bale and RVP, and believe me, your defence needs to be cheap to make it work!

I think O'Shea is the only one with any certainty of starts at this point.

I hope he nails down that spot, have him in my team!

If you go to your profile page you can see a history of your posts. You should be able to find any comments people have made that way. Also I'm still too nervous to have collins in my team but you are most probably right.

On FISO?

It's me.

How can I help?

You could email FPL Towers, they might know.

No. Not nailed-on cos of fitness/age. Not the player of old unfortunately.

injury prone. i would wait for him to prove himself first

Leave him for the casuals. I expect him and Anelka to be in alot of teams when the season starts.

where'd u hear that?

Luka.....who?

lukaku?

If it's a friendly then surely Jose can stop them going?

Oscar, Schurrle or De Bruyne have a chance to play!

They are playing for Spain and won't have enough time to start for Chelsea. Mourinho quotes in the Guardian link.

reply fail @ shaylan

RVW fixtures and most nailed on

Kone if jelavic knicks off. can see him being prolific. not quite buying into the norwich excitement yet.

Kone... Established PL goalscorer, decent fixtures, quality of supply.

But... I prefer Mirallas.

You're so changed these days. We want Super Oscar Babbyyyy

Yay let's all scrap our current teams

Oh, no.

Mourinho proposes, Mourinho disposes

From the article: ''The Premier League would not be against moving the game forward to suit Mourinho.''

Mourinho's desire has nothing to do with the PL's decision.

This is would not be good news for me.

Knew I could count on you. Any chance we can chat on TWS?

Negredo: 100%
Aguero: 80%
Silva: 80%
Jovetic: 40%
Nasri: 0%
Dzeko: 0%

And you forgot Milner. 😉

There is just no clarity on Jovetic/Negredo. I don't know if the next 3 weeks will shed any light either.

And to make thinks worse, Man City play the Monday evening in gw 1, so there won;t be any team news I would think.

aguero(90%) behind negredo(80%), silva(90%) and navas(80%) wide

I agree with that

Negredo
Silva Aguero Navas

or

Aguero
Joveta Silva Navas

should be options,probably 1st one

Depends on Dzeko staying or leaving. Too early to make a call.

Aguero: 50%
Silva: 50%
Navas: 50%
Negredo: 50%
Jovetic: 50%
Nasri: 50%
Dzeko: 50%

Jovetic 80% Most nailed on of the new boys. Imo.

Aguero 90%
Silva 85%
Navas 65%
Negredo 70%
Jovetic 55-60%
Nasri 50%
Dzeko - 20%

Why is Negredo so high in the list? Has not been able to play ahead of Torres and even Fabregas for Spain for the n9 spot!
Jovetic on the other hand turned down Juve and Arsenal

let the arsenal injury marathon begin

the arsenal board should do their players a favor and sing up the chelsea medical staff chick 🙂

Gibbsmobile!

The situation at left back is Nacho good then..

As an Arsenal fan, I would have loved it to happen, but think it won't happen. No chance at all.

Think Arsenal will end up signing no one substantial. No Suarez, hig, roo, fab. Maybe just some more unknowns.

I don't think it will happen and I never thought it would happen in the first place.

ecuador? how about Valencia?

I think you've got a pretty strong line up there. Only concern i would have would be on how nailed on Alcaraz is and Parr has been injured so probably will not play straight away however i feel he would be just bench fodder for you only.

JRod i personally am unsure of. He showed good stuff towards end of last year so maybe worth a punt do however think he will have a better year than Lambert...

Overall I like.

Yahoo FF isn't open yet.

🙄

Chicken.

ONLY FOR UK?!?!?!??! WT......

Not allowed to play. :/

Koscielny, Mertesacker and Sagna are also 5.5.
BOOM BOOM BOOM.

Who's going to make the most out of the new BP system?

Monreal is in the Spanish team though. That means he's good!

everything from the PL to the CL is up for grabs. loving it

by the way, i'm going to killl you sherlock

P$G?

Madrid and Chelsea change their managers too often.
But yeah, the other four clubs will go through a transition period.

for a second, thought you were talking about brazilian pele 😀

27. not too young, but i hope he's nailed on. Goal machine

Wait and watch until things are clearer. Any changes?
