I'm not sure about having all of Snodgrass, Albrighton and Bojan. It seems a bit weak to me.

Maybe consider downgrading at least one of your defenders to get another solid player in your attack.

I had albrighton initially but I'm sure he is a doubt

Your budge defenders are a bit dodgy I think. Consider getting another nailed on budget option in there to save some grief down the track.

Any ideas on £5m mid?

I guess Davis is probably the obvious 5.0 mid, isn't he?

Chester to a 4.0 DEF like Moore

It won't be fun if Sterling plays as well as we think he'll play.. Tadic is an unknown quantity and you have one already with Bojan so I'd stick.

Replied on previous page.

Your entire defence needs to be changed. They are either not nailed on or are injury doubts.

El Ahmadi is useless, not sure why he's there

Consider upgrading Coutinho to Mata as you could do with a United player. Or upgrade Bony to Rooney.

That is not a great defence for opening few fixtures.

I personally don't like the Shelvey/Bojan rotation especially in a team with three 4.0mil DEFs. I'd consider downgrading one of your MFs to get the likes of a Siggy in MF or a 4.5 DEF.

Duff and/or Wisdom should be upgraded. Shelvey to a playing 4.5 would be enough to do it.

Is that 3x4.0 defenders? Probably the biggest weakness, downgrade Hazard to Fabregas then spend the 1.0 mil on a better defender

Yeah, defence looks weak alright.

Definitely prefer Hazard to Cesc though and I liked the Stoke/Swansea rotation between Bojan and Shelvey.

I could downgrade Shelvey to Marney and strengthen defence? That makes Bojan's inclusion less worthwhile though, especially as Diouf starts up front for Stoke...

Decisions, decisions. *sigh*

Hazard will get more goals. Really nice team

Chambers and Blackett?

Should get loads of goals, Sanchez may as well be a 4th striker. good team.

Ramsey for sanchez will give you 2.0. Dzeko to Jovetic will give you 2.5. Upgrade wanyama or change a defender for Terry/Cahill. You need a big hitter to play every week, I like clyne though I also have him. Terry and clyne could play most weeks and rotate one of your other defenders.

That's what I'd do!

I would fear for injuries in your backline. I would also prefer Giroud to Dzeko, I don't believe in coverage.

Begovic / 4.0 is better than Foster and Krul imo

Yeah it looks good. I'd downgrade Caulker to PVA and upgrade Ward to a 5.5 (seeing as Pulis is now gone). Then you'd have a really solid team.

Nice but not sure about Eriksen

Not sure why you'd want to make Jovetic into Dzeko, Jovetic will surprise a lot this season and do well mark my words! I hope Lovren is getting transferred after gwk1?

As for the young/siggy debate. You'd rather young to play against swansea than the other. Might be wise to leave 0.5 spare and transfer young out for siggy after gwk1 if it doesnt work out, considering siggy will have 2 lovely home fixtures after.

I also have the Lamela/Eriksen debate, go with your gut not your head (I've gone with Lamela)

I'd go with Lamela or even Coutinho

I'd go with Lamela/Coutinho over Eriksen

Hendo Rooney. Really like Hendo Rooney actually.

Rooney over mata mate, pens is a key factor here and the fact RVP is out for now, Rooney will be getting all the points

B

Hendo and Rooney

Good team although I can see wenger getting frustrated with Giroud and subbing him early to move sanchez there and bring Ox on. But then who knows :L

Nice team. Consider Moore/Hutton as potentially more nailed on options than Wisdom.

I fancy Krul to have a good season (I think he'll be the top value keeper come the end of the season) but I don't like him with no cover (i.e. Foster).

Not sure about tripling up with 'Pool. MIDS probably need some additional investment to get a third big hitter.

I like it. Maybe consider changing Colocinni to avoid doubling up on Newcastle defence, which looks quite shaky at the moment.

I like it. Good mid & attack.
So far i've got this :

Begovic

Jones Terry Debuchy VanAanholt

Mata Ramsey Mulumbu Bacuna

Sturridge Costa

Thoughts?

LIVERPOOL FAN!

It's OK, I hear falling on your ass is added to BAPS this year

What about

Mannone

Filipe Luis/CaulkerCameron

Mata/Sanchez/Johnson/strerling

Rooney/Adebayor/Bojan

subs Schmeichel/Tadic/Bruce/Vlaar

Thoughts apreciated.

Not a fan of the Hutton love with his fixtures and threat of rotation.

Otherwise its a good team with a solid Bojan Siggy rotation going on (although personally I'm not a fan of the idea).

Ramsey for Sanchez. Upgrade Bojshit or even change him to a benchwarmer and go 3-5-2. instead of having 6m on the bench with siggy, and i really dont think Monk will play him in the hole as he has to play bony and gomis... so he will most probably end up out wide which will reduce his point potential.

Yep

Yep but would probably transfer to naylor instead

Looks good, Cabella is a nice differential. No complaints from me really, you mightn't even need to spend the money in your bank.

Bojan for Gomis

In a few hours you'll see it. Don't worry.

Hutton has really tough fixtures in the first 8 weeks. Not nailed on either.

WBA are a bit shite. Maybe consider better goalies.

Not sure how nailed on Pieters and Kaboul are. Maybe upgrade one and downgrade the other.

bojan has good fixtures, im taking a punt on him.

team is very solid , you've spent alot at the back . more than i would. dont like Man u for clean sheets early weeks under VG

Young a good punt but personally id plat safer and downgrade yaya and or defence for better balance

Sterling for Fab? Can see him being important especially for teams without Studge. Pool tend to be more free-scoring than Chelsea.

Defence is piss poor sorry to be brutally honest. Sacrifice cesc for a cheaper mid and improve on it

Very nice team BTW I have same but with Jovetic

Bego (Gilks)
Terry , Caulker , PVA (Moore, Hutton)
Mata, Fabregas, Ramsay, Siggy (Marney)
Jovetic , Rooney, Costa

I'd leave it since you already have Studge. Not sure Is grove will start, Marney or Wanyama would be safer bets.

A with bego

wouldn't have 2 sunderland players in manone and VA, mannone may not start

front 8 are very strong Would avoid all palace players

Siggy and Bony might be too much Swans...not a lot else in those brackets though. Maybe a punt on Jovetic instead...so long as you don't mind swapping him out again when Aguero returns.

B for me

D

B all day

Thanks guys

Green perhaps.

No such thing as a nailed CFC DEF.

JT over Cahill.

I'd probably go with Terry as there's more chance of him being rotated due to his age? Cahill is the most nailed on of that defence, I think.

Terry is only sitting for CL

Yep I agree, but then again this isn't traditional Stoke. There seems to be a bit about them these days, it will either be brilliant or terrible I think.

Also there are numerous 6m strikers around who could be good. Its worth having a player in and around that price.

What happens if he scores on Saturday?

He's just the best early schedule

Nugget, Fletcher, Austin, Ings and others could have very good value

Yeah it's not likely to come off but the potential upside is huge (if he could rediscover the early promise he showed as a teenager).

Find some cash
