Cleverley (c) ?!

Cleverly captain ahead of Rooney I see

In the interview just now, did LVG mention that Young will be playing RB and that Keane is on the field??

Seems he haven't learnt all the players' names yet 😛

Damn. LVG must have Cleverley's girlfriend for a night in exchange for captaincy

Cleverly is also going to play the 90, along with Blackett

(It looks like LVG WILL stick to a 3-4-1-2 formation, or whatever it is)

Blue of Leicester - Do you think that Albrighton is nailed on for City this season

stuck in preseason mud
-might have scored last night but wont start GW1

would say cameron is a risk as not guaranteed a start (huth imo) and then lamela keep seeing how ponch utilises and always potential for a bony transfer

Solid all round. Like the Lamela punt. Could prove to be a masterstroke.

Don't like the gk combo though.

Actually outside halfway

Donegal

donegal

Ireland

Never knew Ireland had counties..

The trick is to do questions you can't google.

Defo. Can't see him being points worthy tho.

Tiote will out score him

maybe if they want to push yaya up to cam when kun is injured...however jwp is a better option at 5m

btw, love the grav and name 😉

Eriksen the others are punts

If Everton don't sign a recognised striker before the window closes, Mirallas could play OOP. Watch this space.

None...in fact there's a good chance he'll be wide.

You're gonna be mad if Chelsea concede 😆

Why no double Chelsea defence + Hazard/Fab

Yes it's good.

Love the triple up 🙂

Lacks another big mid

Right now, Zarate is the better pick.

I personally think at 11.5 yaya is just not worth it. So many other great options that will mean you can improve elsewhere.

First RMT I've seen with Enner in it, innit. I'd love to choose him, but I don't have the balls, especially when I can get Giroud for not too much more.

Personally don't like having more than one defender from the same team. Also it's a good idea to maybe have at least 1 Chelsea and Arsenal player in Mid or Attack considering their opening fixtures aren't too hard
.
Maybe a cheaper defence could also mean you're stronger elsewhere. Could open to option of rotating someone like Wanyama for an Eriksen or a Valencia for a Giroud.

Cheers all . 🙂

I thought you are Chelsea fan...

Depends who LVG names captain. I think if he goes with RVP, Rooney will have a strop. He'll be thinking about how much time he's been at MU compared to RVP and not be happy one bit, especially with Rooney coming out saying how eager he is to be named captain

Team looks good, no positions too weak so it's a preference. Stick if that's what you prefer.

Nobody knows TBH. I intend on having RVP. Personally I would shave a bit off of my first choice defenders to make sure I have at least 1 defender in reserve who will play.

Just curious why you don't just say Sanchez or Hazard?
Sanchez for me, especially if you have Fab

The first one, defo. Hazard to start strong.

Can you do Sanchez, Mata, Hazard?

So Hazard v Sanchez? Looks a fairly easy choice.

Hazard over Sanchez for now imo. If Sanchez looks like he's gonna start the season OOP then that decision would change.

Tough call because both their early fixtures aren't easy. I would maybe say Sanchez because worst cast scenario you can down downgrade to Hazard even if his price goes up.

With no context on how Sanchez will adapt to the prem or how Hazard will link up with Fab/Costa it's hard to say who will get more points.

Sanchez, hazard, eriksen?

I've gone both

Could be better to avoid both, observe the first game vs Liverpool and transfer in accordingly

In the case of punty new signings at mid table sides, I tend to lean towards the midfielder having the better chance of hitting the ground running (a lot of new mid table strikers seem to flop) and also it's less of a punt as you're using one of 5 mid slots instead of one of 3 forwards.

I'd wait on signings tbh, Tadic will only get points from passing to Pelle

I had both in one draft. Then looked at one. Then decided on neither,

Keeper combo? Just no. Yeah, these two rotate well, but did you see the fixtures?

Defence. 6.0,6.0 and 5.0. Erm, that's costly, but will reap rewards.

Midfield. You have Ramsey and Fabregas as your 'premium' midfielders. Don't you think both being holding midfielders makes it a little drab potential-wise?

Strikers. Template.

Hey Corrigan ! Long time no speak. How's you summer/winter been..?

Where'd you get that from mate? Would be absolutely brill for me.

Doubt it though. N'nonzi, Ireland, Sidwell, Adam, Arnauotivc, Odemwengie, Bojan, not sure there's space for a defender to go into midfield. He'll probably be up against the first 3.

Hi there!

Doesn't this just mean that Cameron realises he will struggle to get into the defence and that midfield is his best chance of getting a game, not that he will be nailed on?

Probably hard to get Bony on loan, if you know what I mean,

Because they are after Borini

Because Lukaku is there #1 transfer target

Try to get a comedy Roy Keane picture

No Chelsea match since the pellets match. There was inter Madrid, tot vs Chicago, man utd vs Roma notably

Fab and Giroud by a mile.

Fab and giroud.x

Reason for those stats is deluded LFC fans.

At this stage, most people are going only by last seasons scores and Lambert looks a great buy at this price.
Come closer to the start of the season, people will put some actual thought into their selections and the percentages will be much different.

Thats my opinion anyway.

Nasri and debeuchy or hazard and wisdom in a defence with Shaw and Kolorov already in and midfield of mata sanchez siggy and dejong already in ?

Coutinho can't shoot

Don't like an Arsenal attacker? Otherwise, it looks really good...

Super team.
Maybe Mata->Ramsey for Arsenal cover as you already have Roo and maybe doesn't need double up.

Decent.x

Austin

Would switch luis and upson's postions. The rest seems pretty good until i get to RVP. i don't know how bad he has to play for people to finally stop considering

Get the reply button next.

Would go with Ramsey

Eriksen for me slightly

Ramsey

B̶o̶t̶h̶

Botham was a good cricketer

Eriksen only because i feel having Sanchez is a must. Having 2 ARS midfielders given their mediocre first 4 GW is a bit much.

Ramsey if you can afford. If only because it's a straight swap to Walcott when he's back (but also because it's Ramsey).

The welshman

There's Diouf for 6.5

A's better I think.

jelly is 6

what can you use the 0.5 on?

i dont understand sanchez over Yaya

Diouf!

I like De Jong and Jelly (don't fancy Remy and Hull have good fixtures)

cheap mid defined exclusively from a 4.5m?

I just made a draft where I'd play 2 of Austin, Siggy and Arnie every week. Doesn't look too bad in all honesty.

Man, every .5 I can save here and there in my team is so important - having a 5th mid worth 6m is a terrible idea. In the same line of thinking you can just transfer your underperforming 5th mid for a decent one. Realistically though you'll never do that because your 5th mid spot is usually useless. Don't do that.

Not the worst idea. I'm going with an early wildcard anyway, so it seems unnecessary for me though.

I'll be wildcarding early when I realize I've got all the wrong midfielders 🙂

the thing is you have cash on the bench each week and you "need" to use up a free transfer to carry out your plan...but there's no certainty this will work...you don't know when this mythical cheap attacker will become obvious...injuries elsewhere may well scupper your plans

the template pricing structure is popular for a reason...it usually works well

I'm probably playing 3-5-2 with Siggy as my cheapest mid, and this is the exact reason why I'm taking that approach.

Check projections 😉
