Your midfield is hurting a lot. You might want to invest in the likes of Walcott or Coutinho.

Downgrade that defense. You also don't need Migs since you've got Toure already. Could save some money by downgrading him, too.

Brayford over McNaughton.

Just my thoughts.

Can't help you cos you have RVP

a

A for me too.

a

cheers everyone.

strong 2nd keeper

It'll be Boruc. I've got both him and Davis, though, so I'm covered!

Boruc is definitely first choice. Davis or Gaz only if hes injured or performs poorly, but to start the season i would be extremely surprised if Boruc doesn't start.

poorly written, but i'm sleepy. i hope you get the point.
Cash RVP and play with the money. it's amazing the team you can build.

I, too, have realized this.

I wanted RVP just for GW1 against Swansea. However, that complicated my ability to sub out the CHE players I had and really limited my flexibility. I'd be stuck with RVP at least until GW 3, and with terrible fixtures, I couldn't justify his 14.0 price tag.

And then I thought about what would happen if RVP failed to produce points GW1. Everybody would panic-sell him and crash his value. but I'd be too busy transferring out my DGW players to avoid this loss in value.

It makes so much more sense to me to buy him come GW4 for 13.7m or so when he's settled in and has good fixtures.

Until then, I'll be braving it without him!

I have not even bought RVP once since FPL re-opened.

Lukaku for GW1.

a) no, thanks
b) nah. look at last season's stats. that's about what you'll get
c) YES

Lambert is the only one of the three that is pretty much guaranteed to start. He's got great fixtures and earned more points last year than Dzeko and Lukaku. He's also cheaper than Lukaku.

Seems a no-brainer to me. Lukaku might be worth the GW1 punt, but in the long run, Lambert is the way to go.

he's moving away.. far away!.. where they'll never find us!

daddy's gone mad hasn't he?!

I think Bale will be staying for one more year.

I think Soldado is a better choice than Bale, though. He's cheaper, seems to be ahead of Ade and Defoe, and will benefit from Bale's presence.

I haven't seen him play much, but he's pretty cheap and doing well in the preseason. If Sturridge struggles to find fitness he seems like a decent option in the early going.

I agree, I watched Liverpool play Melbourne Victory and they looked slow and seemed to play without much drive. This is only game I've seen them play so don't shout me down..But yea, I'm not convinced by Aspas at all, needs to show some quality and form in the Premier League to be worth seriously considering, I'd much rather have Coutinho or Sturridge as Liverpool attacking cover.

+1

it is hilarious the amount of people who suddenly become experts on all these foreign players after a quick flick threw on Wikipedia

in the big picture, they've done low-risk investment. I'm not telling you anything you don't know, but if you have to buy 4 maybe's to get 1 Coutinho, that sure beats feeling like Arsene Wenger waiting for the bus that never comes!
Aspas doesn't look very hardy to me, but his attitude looks great, and I'm optimistic for his prospects. Never heard of him until LFC bought him up.
I've heard/read very little about Alberto in preseason.

But yes, there seems to be a lot of coverage, seems to be twice/three times as much as Chelsea gets, and they have Mourinho back. Very interested to see how quickly he will dominate. I hope they play the Imperial March when he walks out the tunnel.

No. 9

couldn't agree more

i said several times that he is Sh?it

dont get fuss about him

if anyone watching la ligie then you should know that he is very limitaed player

greatest username ever

I think he's returned to training. He's in my team at the moment but I'm going to need to hear something more conclusive next week if he's going to stay there.

He'll play his first (and last) pre-season game tomorrow vs Celtic.

Coutinho, Benteke, Soldado.

C.

Better get him in your team then!

Think he will only be useful if Bale goes

Always appreciate different but the captain option plays such a big role in this game, you do need one 'bigger' forward imo

Zab, Cole, Toure and Coleman = 22.5? Abit too much for me

I like the idea of Benteke over Lulaku , guaranteed the two games , and any goals they do score he likely to be involved.
Chelseas goals can come from anywhere and Lulaku will probably only start the one game .

I like it. Going midfield heavy too, but looking to do Cech - Mignolet and then Aspas Bony with the extra 1M.

Not sure why you spend so much on defense. Its the forwards who are going to score 🙂

Jovetic?

None of your questions has a definite answer.

Cole
Wally
Lukaku is the one making me nervous, I prefer Berba

B
Benteke has bad opening fixture and I'm not sold on Anelka. Dzeko is going to play some part and hopefully score. Aspas is also going to be in the mix.

I did same thing, B

Reply fail.

eid mubarak!

Good effort,i'd put toure instead of coleman though and lamps is not a guaranteed starter

We've similar team. Good to go!

I actually think lampard is a good pick. he played vs madrid and he could play both games in gw1. He gives balance to chelsea's midfield

Don't know enough about Bony but I think that Silva, although a great player, may struggle fantasy wise due to assisting the assister in that City team so full of threats.

But hey, that's just me 🙂

Bony will be a beast. Silva same as what Matt said. Navas if you want a punt at City midfield.

Like it alot.
After double get Cole to 6/5.5 and then Abog to Lambert

Ditch Agbonlahor and go another 6 mil striker as this has WC written all over it week 2 (unless that's your plan???)

I understand you going Agbonlahor for the DGW,
But I will rather go Jrod for the fixtures,
And use the money to upgrade Kim

Both.

Lukaku - a punt but what they heck, they fixtures look good and as he proved at WBA he can be effective off the bench which is a likely scenario in one of the game. Also, if he scores the casuals will be all over him GW2 and he did happen to score a hatrick v MANU last time out.

I cant bring myself to play Benteke as I will likely have a Chelsea defender in so I'd be betting against my own player (that make sense?).
