    Going with a cheap defence but which do you think is the best option?...

    A) 5.5 (Evans), 4.5, 4.0, 4.0, 4.0

    B) 4.5, 4.5, 4.5, 4.5, 4.0

    B has the better balance and A has Evans but the trade-off is three at 4.0 rather than just one

    Head says B, heart says A. Hmm?

    Little advice please, lads. Now that Kelly is in for Palace I'm not so sure about my team. I suppose I could replace Mariappa with Kelly as I'd be benching him the first week anyway. But with Costa firing again I'm thinking of a top heavy team as well...

    A or B

    Bego Myhill

    Baines Chester Kelly Wisdom Hutton

    Haz Mata Rambo Siggy Isgrove

    Studge Roon Costa

    Premium Players: I am sure most of you are also struggling to find the right balance for your team. How do we fit in Yaya, Hazard, Sturridge and a Man Utd striker? Is RVP going to fire on all cylinders under Van Gaal? Or is Rooney a better option at 2m less? Thought id try to create a little discussion on everyone's thoughts...

      I think most people have decided Yaya isn't worth it. Hazard isn't worth it to start the season, over the likes of Costa or Fabregas. Rooney is much more popular than RvP. Sturridge becoming more popular but Costa's brace today will divide opinions.

    Repost

    Little advice please, lads. Now that Kelly is in for Palace I'm not so sure about my team. I suppose I could replace Mariappa with Kelly as I'd be benching him the first week anyway. But with Costa firing again I'm thinking of a top heavy team as well...

    A or B

    Bego Myhill

    Baines Chester Kelly Wisdom Hutton

    Haz Mata Rambo Siggy Isgrove

    Studge Roon Diouf

    or

    Bego Myhill

    Ward Chester Naylor Wisdom Hutton

    Mata Rambo Lamela Siggy Isgrove

    Studge Roon Costa

        Foregone conclusion I think. Pretty highly rated player if he can stay fit.

      The dedicated RMT article is the best place for team advice.
