    A)

    Hennessey (Myhill)
    Gomez Azpi Huth (Francis O'Shea)
    Hazard Walcott Sterling Mané (Surman)
    Rooney Benteke Sakho

    or

    B)

    Panti (Myhill)
    Gomez Azpi Cedric (Huth Francis)
    Hazard Walcott Sterling Hendo/Milner? (Surman)
    Rooney Pelle Sakho

    ??

    A is a little more punty, whereas B looks better balanced and covers more bases.. but is maybe just too conservative?

    Guess it comes down to:

    Benteke & Mane vs Pelle & Henderson/Milner + defensive upgrades...

      I prefer Benteke and Mane out of those two optoons. Both capable of larger hauls I think.

    My main situation at this moment in time is the fact that I don't have a Chelsea defender.. Apart from that I think I'm good for tomorrow. Would be great if you guys could RMT

    Ruddy

    Darmian. Huth. Mertesacker

    Walcott (C) Hazard. Mane. Sterling.

    Rooney (v). Benteke. Wilson

    Subs: Butland. Francis. M.Richards. D.Fletcher

    Thanks for all the help and looking forward to the scoutcast

      I think given the fact so many teams will have a chelsea defender getting one in is a good idea but not essential. Darmian can easily become Azpi if you can find .5 somewhere.

      The rest is superb though so I'd be tempted to stick.

      like the cheap defence. i think it is best to go cheap first, as more expensive dfs do better 2nd half, when more settled.

      good team if you're confident on aguero. defoe and wilson i think are good cheap options.

      however, if you think about who you might captain for the next 4 gameweeks, might think about benteke for gw2.

      actually, thinking about it, maybe you could downgrade aguero to rooney and save the money for the inevitable transfer.

      roo a v good price. rooney certainly a capt option for gw 3, i think

      good team though. good luck.

      I would worry a little about yoshida and jones.

      Go Coates instead.

      I would spend less in MF, and go 3-4-3

      So maybe sell Hendo for a 4.5m and bulk up your defence and forward line.

      No ManCity cover
      going all in on Liverpool
      Yoshida isnt nailed on
      two Arsenal Mids but no defenders

      I suggest :
      1- Ivanovic > Azpi
      2- Yoshida > Mert/Bellerin (Althought Targett for Southampton is pretty nailed on for 4mil , just for these two GWs)
      3- Wally>Sterling (if you want to keep wally , Benteke>Pelle + Ozil>sterling)

      your defence is a bit too weak for me, and i dont fency sterling before he proves to be valuebale in City. his first 3 fixtures are another reason (which after i prefer to invest in Aguero)

      Quite a few punts there, but can't argue with that side. Aguero could be costly or a masterstroke.

      I like the Kolorov punt esp as Clichy is likely to be out.

          He also gets 10+ yellow cards a season and doesnt score/assist many goals. Wanyama is 4.5 and will provide atleast a little more than that

    Courtois, Myhill
    Azpi, Cedric, Darmian, bellerin, Glen Johnson
    Hazard, Walcott, siggi, Mahrez, Redmond
    Lukaku, Rooney, Deeney

    Thoughts? Currently got lukaku captained he's gotta start.

      Don't think you need courtois and Myhill.

      When will you ever bench courtois ?

      Not fussed on siggy given swans early fixture, perhaps go for a riche and keep the cans to bulk up else where ? A mane perhaps ?

      A little too much cash in defence for me...

        True on the keeper's and thought I've overspent in defence a bit, but can see Swansea getting 5th/6th and siggy being the man to send them there. Feel like he's been overlooked by a lot of people.

    Hey can someone help give me some advice and rate my team.

    Courtois
    Fonte Koscielny Richards
    Henderson Yaya Hazard Ozil
    Deeney Rooney (C) Pelle

    Schwarzer, Wanyama, Lescott, Simpson

    With 1.5 mill pounds to wait for aguero, expecting the Lescott/Micah Richards rotation to work well.

    Please RMT guys, appreciate any feedback:

    Krul
    Darmian - Cedric - Azpi
    Haz - Henderson - Walcott (v) - Depay
    Deeney - Rooney (c) - Benteke

    Subs - Butland - Ibe - Huth - Baker

    Gambling on Depay being a hit and Walcott playing up front..
