Costa Rooney Sturridge teams...share yours here please?
Krul Elliot
Caulker Clyne Kelly Wisdom Moore
Ramsey Silva Eriksen Hendo Marney
Costa Rooney SturridgeOpen Controls
I do like that just hate having dead weight in the team though.
Open Controls
Like it, if you earn extra money from your midfield or forwards you can spend that on your defence
Open Controls
DDG Gilks
Cahill Ward Chester Ferdinand Duff
Ramsey Eriksen Siggie Yound Davis
Roo Costa StudgeOpen Controls
Am I safe with F.Luis, B.Davies, Lovren and Debuchy?
Open Controls
So Southampton is looking more and more like Feyenoord.
They needed someone to play off of Pelle with JRod out, Long fills that gap nicely.Open Controls
Wisdom starting % chance?
Open Controls
So seems like the only constant in the chelsea defence during preseason is Ivanovic ? Tempted to fprk out 0.5 more to upgrade Cahill to him
Open Controls
I'm starting to go off Chelsea defs for initial gw. there is too much uncertainty, no one could say who will start for certain at gk, cb, rb or lb! the expense messes with the rest of your team and you could end up with 6+mil on the bench! I can't see the prices of any particular def going anywhere over :first couple of games so unless we hear anything solid I'm considering starting to build a team w/o Chelsea defs
Open Controls
Ivanovic less nailed than Cahill I reckon. Only doubt in back four for me is between him and Azpi.
Open Controls
So if Rojo signs for Utd what happens ? Shaw LB Rojo LWB
Open Controls
Rojo at CB
Open Controls
Nice to see Southampton making good deals with the money they made off selling all their talent 😆

just saw your comment re attacking rotation. No it doesn't.
Teams show an extreme tendency to keep cleanies at home, against inferior oppositon. No such "extreme" trends are shown by forwards ( matches against top 4 teams excluded, the comment specifically mentioned "16" teams)Open ControlsPlus the team they scored against, plus their own team is 18, so it was easily mistaken for only 2 teams that they supposedly couldn't score against. Really there is hardly any difference between the validity of defensive and attacking rotation, it's just that one costs far more than the other, so is usually far less useful, but with Siggy/Bojan, I'd say it is more viable than having 1 7 priced player and a non starter. Sorry my response so rude, just seeing lots of things on this site that I don't agree with tonight.
Open Controls
So, do u still starting with Hazard?
Open Controls
Who seems to be the starting goaly for chelsea?
Open Controls
I'd say Curtois, i'm super serial.
Open ControlsCurrently on this front 8:
Hazard - Silva - Mata - Ramsey - S.Davis
Rooney - Jovetic - AustinOpen ControlsOk Mr.Gore, do you think thata cech and courtois will rotate or do you think courtois will be the league keeper and cech will be the cup keeper?
Open Controls
Hi guys, little help please if you would?
A. Evans Caulker + Chester
B. F.Luis Chamber + Ferdinand
Cheers.Open Controls
Can't wait to see which players are bandwagons are GW1
Open ControlsHas anyone got a link to somewhere with expected starting lineups for each team?
Open Controlswho did Sevilla beat in EL final?
Open Controls
yes but not enough to warrant getting him i think
Open Controls
Was nailed on 3 4 3 then looked at the quality of mids and changed to 3 5 2 , following the masses went back to 3 4 3....aaaarghhhh
Open Controls
Not changed this for a while, but can it be improved?
Speroni - Myhill
Luis - Evans - Chambers - Bartley - Baird
Hazard - Mata - Eriksen - Siggy - Marney
Rooney - Costa - Dzeko
constructive criticism welcomedOpen Controls
Shane Long's possible move, strengthen or weaken Jelavic prospects?
Open Controls
I think it makes Hull weaker, and therefore weakens Jelavic.
Open Controlsstrengthen his prospects, yes but not his forever lost quality
Open Controls
Strengthen, definitely.
Now nailed on focal point with the likes of Snod, Ince, Boyd, Aluko playing off him.Open Controls
Depends what Steve Bruce does with the cash. They either need a support striker or a change in formation.
Open Controls
Strengthen for me. Before Saturday, he hadn't started in the preseason. Now he's surely nailed on. Don't think I'll be going with him though...
Open Controls
Which do you prefer?
A) Eriksen and Zamora (will always be benched)
B) S Davis (first sub) and Remy
ThanksOpen Controls
Need 5.5 or below def, any recommendations other than MU def?
Open Controls
Evening gents
a. How was Chelsea? did fabregas play well?
b. Mata?
c. Anyone from either matches that made an impression?
thanksOpen Controls
A) Terry, Evans, NTaylor, 4.0, 4.0 and Fabregas
or
B) Ward, Evans, NTaylor, van Aanholt, 4.0 and HazardOpen Controls
No no no IMO
Open Controls
Barnet 2-0 up against Bristol Rovers. This just seems odd, arent Rovers a decent team?
Open ControlsWere talking conference here. Still no?
Open Controls
Its just that our beloved Barnet is good. Mad Dog is back remember.
Open Controls
A. Mutch and Austin
B. Henderson and Bojan
...and why is no one seemingly talking about Matic as a cheap midfielder?Open Controls
7/2 jelavic top hull goalscorer, im having plenty of that!
