    Myhill / Stekelenburg

    Mertesacker / Azpilicueta / Kaboul / Naughton / Cedric

    Jedinak / Ozil / Milner / Yaya Toure / Hazard

    Rooney / Giroud / Hooper

    Should I downgrade Hazard to Fabregas and use the 2.5 to strengthen elsewhere?

      Personally, I'd take some money and downgrade on two defenders who'll be benched most of the time and upgrade Hooper at least. Deeney or Wilson at 5.5 are much better budget options IMO but depends on what formation you'll be playing. If you're going for 3 up front, I'd upgrade Hooper.

      I'm not too sure about only giving Giroud one week, feels like you have a transfer planned you don't need.

      Currently no stand out 4m options in defence in terms of long term starts. Targett might get a few to begin with until Bertrand is back.

        its more that I want kane long term and i like my team otherwise, so why not take advantage of Girouds week 1 matchup. his pitch time will only be more under threat when sanchez returns, and i dont feel like i need triple ars coverage, whereas after week 1 at OT, Kane has a run of fixtures worth the long term.

      Not convinced by 4-4-2 I think I'd prefer 4-3-3 or 3-5-2 but that's just personal preference.

      I like the look of your current team, 3-4-3 works well. Toby seems okay value at 5m but I wonder if someone like Jenkinson might be better? Or maybe even Cedric.

      If you do opt for 4-4-2 then I'd probably recommend downgrading Wilson as you're going to be benching him anyway.

        Thanks for the comments. With regards to Toby you might be right, but I'm not planning on starting him GW 1 so will give me time to see how the Saints line up and if they will continue to keep their strong defense record..

        On the other hand I was under the impression that Wilson was nailed on..

    RMT please!

    Vorm
    Clyne, Lescott, Ivanovic
    Depay, Hazard, Ritchie, Cazorla
    Deeney, Costa, Rooney

    Subs: Schwarzer, Wanyama, Baker, Turner

    1. I thought I'd be cheeky and put Vorm in seeming as Lloris looks likely to miss the first gameweek or so as he's a very good keeper IMO and playing for a good side in Tottenham who are capable of keeping a clean sheet. At 4.5 I thought this is worth the risk and is easily swappable for Schmeichel or Speroni for example. Anyone think this is a good idea?

    2. Is it worth putting the money in to have all three of Aguero, Hazard and Sanchez in the team when they're all fully fit? They are all consistent high performers and could easily get to 200 points each! Or do you think funds would be better spent by spreading it out more. E.G. keeping the team as is or keeping Costa or Rooney and fitting Sanchez in by down grading a striker to approx 8-8.5? More generally, is it better to spread the cost or go for the high scorers?

    (Repost from bottom of previous page - sorry)

    RMT please:

    Schmeichel - Schwarzer

    Cedric - Jenkinson - O'Shea - Francis - Huth

    Hazard - Sterling - Ozil - Mane - Wanyama

    Rooney - Kane - Sakho

    Supporting logic:

    - Not having Hazard is playing with fire.

    - Early in the season Schmeichel looks good for a few clean sheets and, if not, save points.

    - Predicting which of Sterling, Ozil, Cazorla, Walcott, and Mane will play best is challenging, so I've included three of them instead of just two.

    - Clean sheets also are hard to predict (and I think harder to come by) early in the season, so I'm going for budget defenders who rotate well, likely will play 90, and can get some BAPS on occasion.

    - After three weeks, I will downgrade the worst performing of my aforementioned midfielders (to Ritchie or Mahrez or someone else who comes out of the wood works), and upgrade to Aguero.

    - As with the midfielders, I will allow Rooney and Kane to state their case with their results, and the least of the two will be upgraded to Aguero.

        Thanks for the response. I've waffled on him as well. Would you go Fab instead? Walcott instead?

        As pointed out, I'd rather not go with two lesser priced midfielders for now, so I'm willing to spend in the midfield. I'm just trying to find the best combination.

          tbh you already have all the perceived big hitters in midfield.
          You would double up on Arsenal and go with Walcott, though it might just be me hoping that Arsenal will start off well...

        I was on Walcott for a while and only recently changed to Sterling. I guess I'm worried about Walcott splitting time when Sanchez is back, and I feel like I need some City coverage early - before I draft in Aguero.

      He could start until Olsson returns I guess, as they don't appear to have another LB... although at a push Brady could cover. So not really a fantasy option imho.

      Downgrade one of your midfield as he'll be mostly benched. Use the money to upgrade Jerome

        My thinking is that downgrading a midfielder won't give me enough £ to buy a forward who is likely to bring in as many points as a solid midfielder. Any suggestions of changes?

          I'd personally downgrade Chadli (never been convinced, don't know why) to Ritchie which will give you 1mil and uprgade Jerome to Deeney or Wilson who are the best budget strikers IMO. You could go further and downgrade Chadli to Wanyama who's 4.5mil seeming as he'll be benched in your team most of the season but still useful as he plays games. That'll free up 2.5mil for upgrades.

      I think early on they'll both start. Shaw potentially has more competition. I will probably go with Shaw.

      Not sure on 4.5m GKs - I'm going Pantilimon so haven't really looked into it.

      Walcott if he starts charity shield otherwise Ramsey.

    Not quite sure how I'll fund Aguero when required, but could do some minor surgery before GW4 without needing a WC.

    Ivanovic, Cedric, Mertesacker (Targett, R Bennett)
    Walcott, Henderson, Yaya Toure, Hazard (Wanyama)
    Berahino, Rooney, Benteke

    0 ITB

    I am looking for advice on the balance of the team, looking to get the consistent performers (Hazard, Ivanovic) with some differentials (Yaya 17%, Walcott 8.2%) that I think offer good value. Clearly my bench is very weak but I think beginning of the season you can get away with it as few players are rested. Over the course of the season I start to improve my bench. Some of these picks will also depend on certain events (whether Arsenal buy another striker and if Yaya is on pks). The positive is there are plenty of options in that price range if needed. Lastly, not sold on Berahino, could be swayed to Sakho or even Deeney. Thanks!
