Sun Dream Team Is Live – FFS League Sign Up

The Sun Dream Team became the latest Fantasy game to throw open it’s doors, having released alongside the Fantasy Premier League on Thursday.

Quite simply, Dream Team is the season-long game to play if you want to win some big money. This term they’ve gone and put up a cool £1 million prize fund, with £200,000 available to the overall winner. Overall, they are promising 100 winners a week, 500 a month and 7,000 across the season. That’s a lot of winners with a lot of cash fluttering about.

This season the game is free to play, although the generous cash prizes are only available to those who later sign up to the Club Dream Team – that will eventually set you back £2.99 a month or £7.99 for three months; both options will be available in October but, initially, you’ll be in the “Club” for free.

There are a whole string of benefits to eventually signing up, including more competitions, advanced statistics and the fact you’ll get to set up six teams, increasing your chances of claiming one of the many prizes.

Aside from the huge cash pot on offer, Dream Team is a very different beast to your average Fantasy offering. It can be a more casual, “hands off” game, with stronger emphasis placed on your initial starting XI – after this, Fantasy managers are pressed into action during four Transfer Windows, although, as you’ll see this has been expanded somewhat with this season’s rule changes.

The other key attraction is that domestic cups and European competitions are included. This can hold your interest when games like the Fantasy Premier League and Sky Sports take a break; suddenly the midweek Europa League and Capital One Cup have some meaning.

On top of this, Dream Team has a weekly game offering and this season introduces more competitions for those who join Club Dream Team – a weekly 32-team knockout cup and a mini-league knockout cup. You won’t be surprised to hear that both offer cash prizes. Dream Team have also brought back the popular Manager of the Month contests, with the top 100 managers all qualifying for prizes.

THE RULESET

Dream Team have been brave enough to implement some key rule changes this season – with assists finally making an appearance in the game.

Two points are awarded for each assist earned, although this is somewhat balanced out for midfielders who have lost the two points previously earned for keeping a clean sheet. For defenders and strikers, however, the assists are now extra points in the bank which is something to consider when selecting your squad.

Elsewhere, while Dream Team has retained the three points earned for a 7+ rating in any given match, they’ve done away with their controversial “reporter in the stands” approach and adopted an Opta driven algorithm solution, much like the FPL’s Bonus System, to award the ratings. This system is also being used to assign the Star Man awards which return five points.

Crucially, this change allows the game to be more dynamic and Club Dream Team members will now get live scores during match days with your full points tallies available on the final whistle. A big win.

The other major change is that we now have five Emergency Transfers at our disposal. Dream Team introduced two of these transfers last season, enabling trades between the Transfer Windows. We now have one Emergency Transfer in every period before each Window. These can be used to repair our lineups after injury or suspension, or used tactically.

The rest is as you were…

Each team must include 11 players with a budget of £50 million to spend. The teams can be laid out in one of two formations – a 4-4-2 or 4-3-3.

Players accumulate points from matches in the Capital One and FA Cups and also in Europe, with Champions League and Europa League matches contributing. Straight away, then, it’s clear that avoiding rotation and finding regular starters is your main consideration.

THE TRANSFER WINDOWS

Managing your team around the four Transfer Windows remains crucial, alongside the use of the Emergency Transfers. You can make up to three transfers per Transfer Window, with an Emergency Transfer between the windows – it’s a “use them or lose them” policy with both.

The first window arrives on September 1, so with only four league matches completed, you can make three changes to your squad. Subsequently, you may look to allow for this in your early strategy, selecting players with a strong opening three fixtures, knowing that you can apply three changes prior to Gameweek 5.

The following window arrives on November 10 – that’s prior to Gameweek 13. The third arrives on January 26, ahead of Gameweek 24, with the final opportunity to make transfers landing on our laps on March 22, just before Gameweek 32.

Planning your team changes, putting our season ticker to use and considering the dates of cup rounds, is therefore an important factor.

JOINING LEAGUES

You can set up mini-leagues when you sign up and, if you have a PIN code, you can join up with established mini-leagues. You can establish up to five mini-leagues and enter individual teams into up to 5 mini-leagues each.

THE FANTASY FOOTBALL SCOUT LEAGUE

With that in mind, we’ve set up an official Fantasy Football Scout League for the Dream Team game, which you can now join with the PIN 8060586.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

            vardy to sakho sounds good - do have 2m itb to do that

            skrtel to who?

    2. Acquafresca
      • 12 Years

      Back line a bit light.

      Don't fancy Eriksen or Siggy.

        yer , still chopping and changing them two. your thoughts with 17m for 2 mids?

        1. Acquafresca
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Walcott / Ramsey / Silva + Henderson seems a decent bet.

          1. Acquafresca
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            Try an Arsenal mid + Hendo and upgrade Williams to Azpi would be my advice Rick.

        • 12 Years

        who would you have instead for 17m?

      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I quite like eriksen given the fixtures, just because he's not in many rmt's doesn't mean he isn't a good option.

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        eriksen in form is a great fantasy prospect

        However last few months of the season he left a sour taste in my mouth after some shocking performances

        1. Kuqi Monster
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Agree, worth a watch in pre-season.

      2. Ricky - it doesn\'t ta…
        • 12 Years

        yer thinking his advanced position and set pieces will come good again, but still looking at other options

    6. Ludwig
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      i for one like siggy

    What are people saying? £2.5m ITB, can afford Alexis if he comes back firing after a week or two.

    1. Pinatta
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      cewl squad, like Ozil more then Rambo tbh

      1. st4rt__
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah not sure yet, gone with Rambo due to Ozil being in a mate's XI.

    2. Bauerhaus 24
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Massive risk to start with Sergio. Chances are he won't start GW1, maybe even 2 or 3

      1. st4rt__
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Is it? I'll take the risk, 22.9% own him, could be a risk not to own.

  3. J1F
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    A) Toby
    B) Cedric

    Both teams dont have their 1st keeper available

    1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Apparently Cedric offers attacking returns, so him, if you must. I'll likely be dropping Toby now that Lloris is injured.

  4. Cabayeble
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Buried.

    Hello.

    Ruddy - Butland
    Kos - Williams - Sakho - Morgan - O'Shea
    Haz - Hendo - Yaya - Rambo - Ritchie
    Benteke - Roo - Deeney

    Best I can do for now. I haven't really looked at the fixtures yet so bare with me. I could take Rambo / Benteke out for Gir / Cabaye. Kos -> Mert, Williams -> Ivan. Vorm is tempting.

    Thoughts?

    1. Licky
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Looks good, I'd prefer someone different to Yaya at least.

  5. Acquafresca
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Henderson is a bargain at 7.0

    Can't believe he's being overlooked once again. Stevie G gone for good. On set pieces and PKs.

    1. Cabayeble
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      First name on my team.

    2. Bauerhaus 24
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      He's got like 25% owners and is in a lot of RMTs

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Exactly, he will be picked by lots of teams

    3. Butthead
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Beneteke will be on pens when he signs.

      1. Acquafresca
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        if*

        1. Butthead
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          30.5 mill plus Lambert according some Villa people.

        2. little_wizard123
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          when

      2. Licky
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        I don't know. Hendo could be given his chance first.

      3. Ludo
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        I really doubt it. It's a seniority thing at Liverpool. Balotelli and Lambert are arguably the best two penalty takers in the league, and neither got much of a look in over Gerrard and Henderson.

    4. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Angling to get him in too

    Schmeichel or Ruddy?

    Was all for the former until they appointed Ranieri!

    1. bacary lasagna

      What's wrong with ranieri?

        Don't think Leicester will quite be the same under him.

    2. nikobg
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      both rotates well

  7. icywrists23
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    With people with Wes Morgan on your team, are you prepared for him to miss maybe 1-2 weeks to start the season? Hes playing in the gold cup right now and also played in copa america.

    1. icywrists23
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I just realized this and its highly likely he misses a few games

    2. Kuqi Monster
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Huth the way to go imo

      1. icywrists23
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        yes he is, I had Morgan all a long and someone brought up the fact that Morgan might now play. I completely forgot about him playing in Copa America and now playing in the Gold cup. Thats 2 tournaments within a month

    3. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Might have to go all-out in attack first week or get Darmian in for Toby.

    4. nikobg
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I have Huth. Don't know why most are picking Morgan ahead of him.

      1. walkman666
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        This ^. I loved Morgan at the end of the season last year, but he may not play due to internationals.

      2. icywrists23
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        exactly. I just selected Huth. Morgan is nailed on and I believe played every game. Maybe missed 1 or 2. and he was in really good form to end the season but he won't even start the season due to international duties. A lot of people with their RMT have him and are not aware of this.

    5. Leeroy Jenkyns
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Jamaica will play 2 more matches at least. Either win their group and most likely play Honduras, who are a bunch of hackers. If they win that, they'll most likely see USA which most likely a loss. If they come in second in their group most likely see Trinidad and if they win, Mexico.

      USA has gone to the final last 5 winning 3. Mexico to final 3 of last 5 winning 2. Jamaica most likely won't get past semis (July 22nd).

      Not very much time for Morgan to be ready for PL is it?

      1. icywrists23
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Nope not at all. Add in he also played 3 tough games in Copa America.

        Scout hasn't highlighting this in any of their articles and there is no injury report on fpl yet on him.

        I highly doubt he starts the season.

  8. ZTF
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Darmian pricing?

    1. Acquafresca
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I assume 5.5

    2. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Likely 5.5 - if so, will be my Toby replacement if I can find another .5 elsewhere.

    3. HVT
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Sounds like an episode from 'Lost'
      🙂

    4. QPR expects... glory!
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I'd say 6.0 as nailed on

  9. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Could use a RMT/specific advice. Obviously will all change, but we're all doing it 😀

    Ruddy (Myhill)
    Coates/Mertesacker/Morgan (Williams/Alderweireld for now)
    Sterling/Hazard/Ramsey/Tettey (or a better 4.5?) (Sigurdsson)
    Costa/Benteke/Vardy

    1. Jolly Good
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      looks good,would probably have ritchie for sigurdsson and get in kane for benteke

    2. Pinatta
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Mert not nailed on, with that Gabriel guy. Sterling will suck, and a 4,5 midfielder is a weak spot 😉

  10. Jolly Good
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    RMT

    Myhill / Schmeichel
    Mertesacker / Skrtel / Cederic / Morgan / O'Shea
    Silva / Depay / Cazorla / Ritchie / Wanyama
    Costa / Kane / Vardy

  11. HVT
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Why has it taken United so long to realise they never replaced Roy Keane?
    Good work by (I think)
    A - Woodward
    B - Lvg
    C - Giggs
    D - SAF

    1. The Light Knight
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I reckon SAF has taken over and Woodward has been given a yoyo to play with in the corner during negotiations 😉

      1. Pap Le Cissier
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Along with a pointy hat labelled 'D'

    2. Pap Le Cissier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Hey hvt, how does it feel to have another Irish world champion?

    3. Sánchez
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Well it cant be SAF given he had a decade to do it.

  12. Hibbopotamus
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    I sorta want to totally sell out for a Costa/Aguero pairing. How dumb is this? Also, I feel guilty for returning alongside the other RMTers but whatever, I was here last year too.

    Kasper (Hamer)
    Azpi, Bellerin, O'Shea (Cameron, Targett)
    Haz, Depay, Hendo, Punch (Wanyama or any 4.5)
    Costa, Kun, Wilson

    1. Acquafresca
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Get Mert over Bellerin, competing with Debuchy for playing time.

    2. HVT
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Not bad bar the obvious 7/10

    3. Kuqi Monster
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Punch fixtures not put u off?

      1. HVT
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Plus caybe sure to steal set pieces.

      2. Hibbopotamus
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Probably should do Downing or Ritchie, yeah. Just threw this together to see if I could get something usable after putting 24 mil into two FWDs.

    4. BarkKnight
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I have both too, rest of my team hasn't suffered because of it either (in my eyes!)

    5. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Im also aiming for a Costa Kun pairing , not dumb at all. If Costa kicks off on a high Kun is sure to follow. Bellerin a def risk though , expect Debuchy to start, early on anyway

      1. Hibbopotamus
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Mert it is then. Surprised by that, though, figured Bell would be the favorite going in

  13. icywrists23
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Is Huth a rotation risk?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      the tinkerman is here, nobody is safe anymore 🙂

      1. icywrists23
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        how come no one has pointed out that Morgan will likely be rested?

        1. bacary lasagna
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          People have overlooked that Morgan may be rested.

          Huth is a proven defender and should be safe

          1. icywrists23
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            I was one that overlooked him than I remembered he is playing in 2 tournaments within a month. He is 100% being rested. Especially if your logic is Aguero and Sanchez are being rested

      2. Ludo
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Ranieri helped bring Huth through at Chelsea, for what it's worth.

        1. icywrists23
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          thanks for pointing this out. Makes Huth a little more safer

  14. BarkKnight
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    I think I need help, I can't stop listening to Everything Everything's new album. So good.

    When will United announce Kane? He;s the one to go for now.

      he's going nowhere.

    With Fonte having become even less appealing without Schneiderlin, who's the best 5M / 5.5M option between Rose, Skrtel and Williams? I think Rose could definitely improve his overall score compared to last season.

    Dont know whether i like giroud in my team if the rumours about lacazette to arsenal is true. Stick or twist with giroud?

    1. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      How much would Lacazette cost in the game?

      1. icywrists23
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        at least 9

      2. The Pesci challenge
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        I would think about the same as giroud if he came in

    2. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Simple , Lacazette comes - cant risk on Giroud. If not , then he starts

      1. Frank Black
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Lacazette plays as a winger.

    I'm having a change of heart regarding Di Maria.

    While I do believe LVG prides his football on a system, a team-oriented and calculated one, whereas ADM is the opposite and prides his football on high-risk-high-reward plays, I think that having that maverick-mentality could be the ever-present plan B which a well-oiled LVG squad could use to their advantage in order to constantly be dynamic and fresh.

    1. Licky
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I think ADM is best used as a squad player, he shouldn't be the go to guy, or the star. HE was best utilised as a team player at RM, he shouldn't be a guaranteed starter, especially in big matches, he's more of a flat track bully it seems. Far too inconsistent to be a constant.

      1. icywrists23
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        what do you mean squad player?

      2. The Light Knight
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        You do know he was man of the match in the biggest game in club football, after consistently playing all season 14 months ago?

        1. Licky
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          He came on as a sub no? Against an absolutely knackered Atletico side. ADM works very hard and did really well that season but shouldn't be the focal point at any team, he lacks real intelligence so appears inconsistent. Losing the ball, running into blind allies and dead ends and making the wrong decisions in terms of final ball. He was ridiculed the seasons before that for never being a 'big game player' anyway. He should really just be what Walcott is to Arsenal.

          1. Licky
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            Sorry no, started, but it was only really in extra time RM ran rampant.

          2. sinik
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            He played 120 minutes in the CL Final.

          3. The Light Knight
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            Right....

            1. Licky
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 8 months ago

              It's just my opinion, if you want to believe ADM is the world class talent he's shown so many, many times he isn't then fair enough.

              1. The Light Knight
                • 12 Years
                8 years, 8 months ago

                Yeah...

      Too late,

      He's off to Paris.

      1. Somalion
        • 14 Years

        Wow, I better call United and let them know. Sly bugger flew to the US with them.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years

          did he? he's injured and just off Copa

          1. Somalion
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            Nah, just joshing 😛

            Word is PSG are after him for £47 million or so.

            1. sinik
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years

              yeah saw that..honestly no reason to sell at a 12m loss unless a Bale/Muller/Reus type player is on the way

              1. Somalion
                • 14 Years
                8 years, 8 months ago

                I agree, and seeing as they have cover in those areas, hard to believe they'd take the cut.

      2. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        if he is, it means someone big is coming our way

    3. The Light Knight
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      United need match winning mavericks in the first XI, and shouldn't be prioritising dull safe football anyway

      1. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        agreed

    4. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      See your thinking . But plan B means non regular starts ?

      1. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        no just that we know possession football is the norm, but that he's there to pick out a crazy pass when he sees it..

    5. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I think he's the best player they have and would be the first name on the teamsheet if it was up to me.

      1. Leaf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        But I'd play Rooney up top , with Di Maria left & mata in the hole

        1. sinik
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          I would as well if Depay is determined to be comfortable on the right because Di Maria didn't look good cutting in on his left

          1. Leaf
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            I don't think he did that badly last year . First year away from Latin culture & football . Played out of position and last years team wasn't what you'd call vintage United

    6. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      JUST TO BE CLEAR

      I didn't mean Plan B in the sense that he's on the bench, but in the sense that we know possession football is the LVG norm, and he's there to pick out a crazy pass when he sees it.

      1. Debauchy
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Ahh , ok. Interested to see LVG's plan going forward . ADM needs a confidence boost though . And if LVG is on his case I dont see him producing , seems a little fragile mentally , I dunno , just my thoughts

  19. RoyalArmy
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Help a Yank out!!

    --Cech/Hammer--
    --Morgan/Kos/Bassong/Mings/Targett---
    --Hazard/YYT/Hendo/Mata/Ayna---
    --Roo/Costa/Deeney--

    Thoughts?

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Pretty good but i would change kos for azpi as you already have cech

      1. RoyalArmy
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Wont Azpi be rotated with Luis?

        1. Frank Black
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          No, exactly like last year.

        2. The Pesci challenge
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Cant see too much rotation plus if luis goes back to Atletico. Plus jose loves him

    2. BarkKnight
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I like it, guessing you are only going to play 3 at the back?

      1. RoyalArmy
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah, Bassong/Mings rotate, and Targett will play for a while

    3. icywrists23
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      take out Morgan he won't start the season

      1. RoyalArmy
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Morgan to whom? Ward?

        1. icywrists23
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Huth

    4. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Besides YYT , quite like this side - .5 more for Sterling ?

      1. RoyalArmy
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        I could move defenders to have cheaper 4.5/5.0 options to move YYT.

    1. Pap Le Cissier

      Too risky imo

    2. BarkKnight
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      he was rubbish last season, I'd avoid at all costs.

      1. Acquafresca
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Harsh. Dimechelis wasn't any better. Nor Kompany for that matter.

        1. BarkKnight
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          wouldn't touch any of the City defence TBH. Not yet anyway.

  21. Ksimparomenos
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone looked when there is an upturn of fixtures for the better teams so as to wildcard then?

    week 11 everton's fixtures get much better

    1. Acquafresca
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      But it's still Everton.

      1. Pap Le Cissier
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        There is the Europa syndrome argument though

      2. QPR expects... glory!
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah but Jags is gonna be gold after that 😀

    2. Hibbopotamus
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Coleman or Lukaku should be a good shout by then

  22. 32chickens

    How much starts/game time will herrera get this season do people think?
    will united play with a settled team or is it a rotating squad that is being generated?
    if i squad who will the nailed be?

    1. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Good ask. Herrera one of my favourite players , when I have watched him.Just seems a little lost in the MU set up ?

      1. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        think Herrera is a starter

        1. Somalion
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          This

    2. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I think he's a starter once the PL season starts. think it's Carrick who will be rotating for starts with Herrera starting alongside the #Schmidfield

    Currently on...

    Boruc (Hamer)

    Koscielny Clyne Huth (Mings Ward)

    Hazard Mata Chadli Adam (Wanyama)

    Aguero Kane Cisse

    I would ideally have £4m bench defenders who are playing 90 minutes for their clubs, but unable to find any who are pretty nailed on at the moment. So...

    Who are the best £4.5m bench defenders? Also, Is Wanyama the best £4.5m bench player?

  24. Bauerhaus 24
    • 10 Years

    Courtois
    Azpilicueta - Mertesacker - Cedric
    Hazard - Mata - Cazorla - Henderson
    Rooney - Kane - Vardy

    Jack Squat on the bench.

    WC planned for post-GW4.

    Pretty much settled on the core of this team, can anyone spot any problems structurally, or players who aren't nailed? (I'm not interested in whether you like the players). Many thanks.

    1. La Roja

    Vardy/Costa/Benteke

  26. Danstoke82

    How about this for a RMT draft;

    Schmeichel - Myhill

    Azpi - Mertesacker - Lescott - Francis - S.Taylor

    Hazard - Yaya - Ritchie - Hendo - Anya

    Aguero - Kane - Wilson

    £0.5 left

    Myhill/Ruddy rotation is surprisingly nice until Foster is fit-about early december. Looks to be the pick of the 4.5m GK rotation due to WBAs defensive stability (unlike Newcastle and Stoke, wait and see with Leicester). Here go's

      Do you think that west brom perhaps are as likely if not more to defend better in "tougher games"? Remember last season they shipped 7 goals vs qpr and Leicester at home then kept 3 clean sheets vs Man U Liverpool etc

                ah but you have to bear in mind I'm not going to be playing Coates in all those fixtures

                I considered something like

                Ivam Jenks, Francis, Williams, Coates

                So Ivan every week then use WHM/.BOU and SWA/SUN in rotation

                        you see

                        my initial plan was Ivan every week then play 2 from SOT, SUN, BOU, LEI

                        with Jenks and Ogbonna on board your defence tempts me though

            Morgan will likely be rested to start the season.

              He is current playing in the Gold Cup tournament. Jamaica will most likely advance to the next round. He has also played in the recent Copa America tournament. That is 2 tournaments within a month. He is most definitely owed a rest

    I can't trust any Spurs defender at this point. Truly atrocious last year, Toby is fine but Soton fell apart without Forster/Schneiderlin, Trippier is more about attack and is 0.5 too expensive, and losing Lloris would kill what little safety net that back four had last year.
