J0E

With so many of you seeking advice on their teams before August 16, we thought it would be prudent to run a daily community article to provide a dedicated focus for “Rate My Team” (RMT) requests.

Each day ahead of the new season, we’ll select one of the Fantasy Football Scout team and post up their own RMT request to open up discussion and encourage others to post their own. We’ll turn the comments over to you to provide a useful place for those seeking advice and highlight some of the key decisions under deliberation.

Please nudge those posting RMTs in other articles to visit this daily RMT article. Also, when posting requests, please remember to be courteous to those who take the time to help out. Equally, if you’re an experienced Fantasy manager with some views on initial line-ups, take time out to dip in and contribute – the Fantasy Football Scout team will be doing their upmost to offer their feedback as the discussion develops throughout the day.

The next Fantasy Premier League RMT contender is Alex Bowers, the winner of the Ultimate Fantasy Premier League Beta version 2013/14.

Krul (Foster)
Shaw – Lovren – Cameron (Davies, N Taylor)
De Jong – Lamela – Mata – Sterling (Sigurdsson)
Rooney – Costa – Austin

Alex is not thrilled about having Gylfi Sigurdsson on the bench for the first Gameweek so he is open to alternative suggestions for his fifth midfield slot. He is adopting a wait-and-see aproach regarding Chelsea midfielders, Arsenal and Manchester City. Is he right to wait?

Feel free to get stuck in with your feedback. We look forward to scanning your RMTs throughout the day on this article.

Courtois - Gilks
Shaw - Mariappa - N Taylor - Baird - Bruce
Hazard - Mata - Ramsey - Siggy - Ireland
Rooney - Sturridge - Austin

What do you think? Courtois will become Begovic if Cech doesn't leave. Maybe Shaw > Evans and Bruce > Wilson. I'm not keen on Ireland either, but lots of big hitters are in there.

Mata Ramsey De Jong Siggy (Albrighton)

Sturridge Rooney Costa

I really like De Jong, is a doubt so will be Hendo from GW1 till he is fit. Albrighton currently doubt too but he is the best 4.5 so I will put him in there as he is unlikely to play anyway. Or may just replace Albrighton with another 4.5 like Marney or Wanayama.

  Really strong. Maybe I would go Green and Evans instead of DDG and Rio personally. Green more saves points than DDG and Evans more goalthreat than Rio, but then again you wouldnt need Mariappa to rotate and could use the 0,5 on a rotating keeper, but this is quite cosmetical, so I say go for this one 🙂

Which of these?

A) Begovic/4.0

Debuchy/Cahill/Ward/Van Aanholt/Hutton

Ramsey/Hazard/Mata/Siggy/Davis

Bojan/Costa/Rooney

B) Krul/4.0

Debuchy/Chester/Mariappa/Van Aanholt/Hutton

Ramsey/Hazard/Mata/Fabregas/Davis

Bojan/Costa/Rooney

I have a feeling Fabregas will do very well, but the upgrades to my defense are significance if I choose Siggy instead. And I'm not willing to drop any of my other big midfielders. Opinions?

  I favour neither gk options. If you are going to play one gk week in week out at least make it a good one like DDG or whichever Chelsea gk gets the nod. Gk rotation is often then best route. Defence looks a little weak as well in the second one...so I prefer the first.

  Hey Jimbo, since there are quite a few similarities in both options, it might be easier to eliminate them, and just leave the players which actually matter in making the decision.
  
  A) Begovic
  Cahill, Ward
  Siggy
  
  B) Krul
  Chester, Mariappa
  Fabregas
  
  A little easier to see and evaluate 🙂

  Don't really like it. Would personally go the Bojan route only when I have a fully fleshed out midfield to go 352 if need be.

    Meaning that playing Henderson and Davis on a regular basis doesn't really convince me.

  Again good team , maybe 1m more in defense but I don't see who you could upgrade in by 1m in midfield .. So it's fine

  I'd lower Colocini to a 4.0.
  
  Maybe even Cahill > F.Luis and/or Caulker to a 4.5.

  Maybe Fab to Sterling and upgrade Krul to a better keeper.

  Krul and Myhill is a terrible idea . Newcastle will not keep enough clean sheets and Myhill is second choice .

    I am kind of relying on Rooney a bit. Was thinking I could swap out Sanchez for Costa if he lives up to hype.

  i think your bench is too expensive. can't have 5.5 and 5.0 def on the pine

    Thanks for the replies. Struggling to find a player I'd want that the extra 2m would free up.
    
    Went for Defence that was reliable with Debuchy as a sort of wild card. May swap him out in future.
    
    Maybe go Koscielny and Dummet for Debuchy and Ward?

      Ideally I'd pick Terry but for purely personal reasons I couldn't bring myself to pick him 🙂

D: Lovren, Cahill, Debuchy, Chiriches, Wisdom
M: Hazard, Mata, Ramsay, Gouffran, Shelvey
F: Rooney, Remy, Bojan

don't hold back....:)

  I don't think your keepers rotate very well at all. Not fixture wise anyway.
  
  How much game time will Chiriches get? And don't like the Shelvey punt at all.

    cheers. i would play DeGea most games but they alternate with home games nearly all season what's wrong with that
    
    not convinced on chriches either and 1.0 cheaper than vertonghen. thought he did well last year.
    
    will debuchy start most games?
    is my defence too expensive hurting the rest of my team? def want at least 3 DEF that i can rely on

      Nothing wrong with it. I just like rotation to be based on fixtures rather than simply Home/Away. For example, are you saying you'd rather play Krul against Chelsea over DDG against Southampton?
      
      I'd expect Kaboul or Dawson to partner Vert at centre back, but I'm only guessing.

        nah i wouldn't rotate very often but good to have the option, just need to way up if the extra 0.5m is worth keeping for other areas
        
        will keep tinkering!

  As per previous post,
  
  - if you have De Gea, you may aswell have a 4.0 sub keeper saving 0.5.
  - Not sure on Chiriches either.

    who would you replace Chiriches with? Ward - don't know if he's safe
    
    Swansea host Burnley, West Brom, Southampton, Newcastle and Leicester first 5 home games. I think Shelvey could get off to a flyer! not a keeper but certainly good fixtures to start the season?
    
    Maybe Gouffran to Henderson or Puncheon?
