    Just a thought on Jones. Once Rojo comes to United, we don't actually know that Jones won't be the one to drop out. I was pretty confident that Evans would stay in but between Jones and Smalling...not sure.

    With Costa . Rooney nailed in.
    & I'm confident Coutinho will perform, Ramsey and Siggy also pinned down.

    Can anyone help me with a 15.5m option for a mid and a striker.

    Barkley & Giroud or
    Eriksen & Remy are the best I can come up with.

    Shall I go 10m for Hazard and just play a 5.5m striker or split it a little more equal.

    Chris Baird. Is this man the best undiscovered 4m player in the game? He has started three preseason games in central mid. He clearly is going to play there. He was Irvine's first signing and rumours are abounding that he is considering making him vice captain. Ok we have to weigh this up with... he's Chris Baird... and he's playing... for West Brom. But still, I'm surprised that more people aren't going for him over Wisdom.

          Really tempted to say 'f it' and ditch United / Chelsea defense altogether. Might as well join the club and start the SCR holy trinity up top.

          Would you be ok with starting either Clyne (liv) or Siggy (mun) for GW1? And if so, which one? Otherwise I could play Jones but my keeper would be Bego instead of DDG

            I'd start Siggurdsson. May get something, I'd be surprised if Southampton get a clean sheet

            Weimann? I've just sold him, though I still have a feeling he could make me regret it.

          Comparison from last season:

          DDG: 128 points from 3330 minutes, team finished 7th on 64 points

          Begovic: 136 points from 2880 minutes, team finished 9th on 50 points

          Just a thought for all of you DDGers.
