bego/speroni + 4m for me
davies and cameron aint nailed

mata
sterling + bony/dzeko
siggy davis bojan/fketcher

A) Mata

B) Dzeko

C) Siggurdsson, Snodgrass, 4.5 nailed on defender (ideally not from a promoted club, Villa or Newcastle)

srry btw, please rate my team =)

Where does all the Guzan love come from?

0.5 in the bank too

What's the use of manonne(4.5m) He ain't even nailed on?

Sell him.

looks really solid to me. thought im not sure on cameron. and i assume shelvey isnt on
the bench right?

Not sure about shaw, I know Valencia went off but I think LVG might show his authority by not starting with shaw their biggest signing

If you want Man Utd & Chelsea defensive cover I'd consider Courtois/Evans instead of DDG/Luis. It's the same cost but with doubts over the Chelsea defensive line up offers a little more security and Evans has a bigger goal threat.

Also, chances are you want Chelsea defence for the long haul whereas you may decide to move away from Man Utd's back line - easier to shift a defender than a goalkeeper in my experience.

Zamora is more or less a dead spot in your team - never a fan of that tactic personally but I can see why you're doing it.

Cheers...yep...I'm keeping a close eye on spurs...I like their early fixtures and new manager so want an attacker or midfielder.

Telegraph game? I've got a team but I set it up weeks ago and haven't revisited it since - cheers for the reminder!

I'd class Davies as the weak link in that defence purely because of Europa distractions, I'd consider losing Giroud who may get a bit more rest this season and playing 4-4-2. Should be easy to get a Chelsea defender in then.

I like that....good to see a different formation.

Costa, Bojan and Tadic and Siggy..that's a lot of unproven players. Can see an early wildcard with that. If Bojan and Tadic are no good you only have Hoilett on the bench...also they are hard to replace money wise. Where do you go from Bojan...Zamora? There isn't alot of good quality cheap strikers.

I'd ditch one of Bojan and Tadic if I were you and use the money to upgrade one to either Dzeko or a 8-9m mid.

Ooh, a lesser spotted Baines! Love the inclusion - I'm risking waiting until GW8 but good luck to you 🙂 I also like the Clyne pick but Southampton scare me slightly.

Double City attack is also a big differential but it could pay off handsomely, you'll be sweating on Aguero's return and who to drop very quickly though.

I like it because it's different but it could be one punt too many - you'll either have a great start or an early wildcard 😉

If you were replacing Debuchy I prefer Evans in that price bracket - kinder fixtures, less card prone, good goal threat. I understand if you don't want to double up with DDG though.

Jovetic is more or less nailed for GW1 but after that it becomes a guessing game as to when Aguero is back and who makes way. I guess it depends how far ahead you tend to plan.

A word of caution - Bruce isn't expected to be a starter, you're better off looking at Wisdom, Duff, Moore... Other than that it's a nice team.

Agreed. Personally I would like all my players to be definite starters. The problem this year is the lack of 4,0/4,5 nailed on players in DEF, and so many (potential) heavy-hitters in MID, causing people to gamble on the DEF budget options in order to afford the big guns

i replied to you on previous page

Mannone is a problem; he and Pantilimon have shared gametime in pre-season and Poyet says he hasn't decided yet. Not keen on your defence at all:

- Davies is competing with Danny Rose (and the way I read it, Rose is first choice)
- Enrique almost certainly won't start, at least not for long, with Rodgers in for Moreno
- Debuchy has poor fixtures to start with and gets a lot of yellow cards (Gibbs if you must go Gunner)

I like the 3-5-2 but I think it needs 2 very strong strikers to work. Try to find a way to upgrade Remy.

Yaya too expensive. And two Arsenal in mid is a risk. I would consider Sanchez to Mata, and Remy to Lukaku or even Bony and use the 0.5 to upgrade Vlaar to a 5 mil.

with £1.5 in the bank, could you upgade Tadic to Nasri? Also, Baines is to expensive at this stage, consdiering their fixtures

I replied over on the last page. 🙂

I personally would upgrade clyne and trippier with that 1.5m. Baines to me is a cracking shout who regardless of fixtures will get you points. He has been consistent since 2008

Be careful of planning a transfer...the unexpected always happens in gkw 1

Replied on the last page now 🙂

ITB nothing

I like it Thomass although I think Rooney is the closest player to "essential" at this moment in time with United's fixtures and revival. Would find a way to fit him in somehow, perhaps by downgrading a midfielder, Howard or Lovren who I don't think warrants investment atm.

Looks good. I like the Howard pic...he's proven. Only worry would be Ade and Bony....also seems light on Man City attack. Maybe consider Dzeko or getting Nasri or Silva in there. Man C score goals - its what they do, whoever they are against.

Well he will start the early rounds (at least GW1). However I'd look to get a more permanent defender in. Nothing is more annoying than wasting transfers on budget defenders.

I like it...brace yourself for offloading Austin at some point though.

Caulker and Rio I think are the most nailed. I imagine Dunne will be the 3rd CB rather than Hill. Question marks on both the wing-back slots in their 3-5-2 though as Isla is signing. He could play on the left with Simpson on the right or he could play on the right and Yun/Traore on the left.

Beware of QPR disease

Looks strong, but upgrade your GK

Worth putting your subs in too. ...hard to assess a team without the full squad.

you need Mata I think

Goalkeepers: good, template but good

Defenders: Cameron and Targett not nailed on... Arsenal have tough early fixtures

Midfield: looks nice but I don't like Sterling tbh I don't think he'll score well.

Forwards: good until junior is back I suppose

6/10

Mannone not set to start
Sterling - great pre season !
if you bring in Siggy he rotates very well with Bojan to replace Austin

A all day long

B

Thanks all.

I like it but I think that Siggy and Bojan would be better options for the same price over Shelvey and Crouch.

I like it. Another with Marney I see. Few risks in defence...which is probably the best place for risks...your key front six makes up for risk elsewhere.

Interesting O'Shea pick. That lad has served me well in spells but I think van Aanholt might be the better pick for the same money. He has good attacking stats from his times on loan.

The rest looks good. Ask yourself whether Austin or Siggy will score the most, especially with their respective fixtures. (They're the same price). I don't know one way or the other but it's something you might not have considered.

Great front line, good midfield and a passable defence (like the Gibbs pick a lot)

Not a GK combo I've seen a lot of - do they rotate well?

a fair chunk more. hendo is unproven in attack but BR wants him to get forward so could take him a season to adapt to that role, he will outscore himself last season and is a good bargain but if you have funds for either then i would defo get sterling. he is coming into his own and is going to playing in the hole. he works hard and makes chances out of nothing and is only getting better and better. i think this is going to be sterling's season

More than Henderson... IMO not worth the cash though

Sterling will get 50% more points I reckon.

i like it...whats your bench?

not sure on Arnie and would prefer hazard or fab over Costa

Best to put your full 15 up if that's a FPL squad. Hard to assess without seeing who is on your bench.
