        Gibson is decent man. Injury forced his hand last season. Barry was class last year alright, but if he takes a dip this year., Gibson could easily displace him

    My thought about Sanchez is he is not tested in prem. just like ozil last season and ozil was pricey just like Sanchez is now and ozil really didn't bring in big points. Thinking I am going to wait and see how he does in first few game weeks. Any thoughts ?

    Giroud could find himself scoring prolifically with Ozil's creativity and defence splitting passes, Ramsey's exploitation of space, and sanchez's cutbacks.

    People are suggesting Sanchez could take Giroud's place up top.. I don't think he will, Giroud was solid last year and could even have a better year.

    Willian Costa Hazard

    I actually think JM might go with this, with Cesc being allowed to make the runs in to the hole. Last season was the most Ramires has ever played as well. Mourinho's teams are mainly defensive but get the job done. Thoughts?

          But if they go with a 4-3-3 as you say instead of the 4-2-3-1 they played with for the majority of last season there should be less cause for concern regarding their defense.

          I think both of them will be rotated.

        Tayls does have a change but it all depends if Davies leaves. If he stays then I think he will have a slim chance of getting in to the team. Think Monk loves so they may rotate

        Bony and Remy are proven goal scorers though and Bent has the backing from Lambert to be given an opportunity with Benteke injured. I just think the main strikers are ridiculously overpriced

    I think Sanchez has a shot at being great in the premier league, but general consensus on the barca forum is that he has brittle confidence; something to consider, until we have seen him do the business (especially when toure is only 0.5M more and hazard 0.5 less.

    A lot of people are getting on board right away though?

      I think it's the pull of the unknown as much as anything FPL wise. He's an exciting prospect but La Liga is hardly the prem (as we saw with Ozil).

      Personally I'll be going with him because of his OOP potential
