Introduction to the Article Type

With so many RMTs on site, we’re going to start collecting them in these RMT Community Articles.

To start, site regular and moderator Spencer has given us his team, and some explanations of his choices. Feel free to comment on his team.

This is also a place for you to post your team, and please respond to a few others while you’re at it!

Mods have been alerted, and will spend some time on these pages responding.

Let’s try to keep the main article pages free from RMTs!

Spencer’s RMT

Fabianski – Bettinelli

Mendy – Robertson – Luiz – Boly – Tomkins

Salah – Mahrez – Pedro – Deulofeu – Stephens

Aguero – Arnautovic – Zaha

Goalkeepers

  • 9.0 on goalkeepers.  Fabianski with FPL pedigree.  Unsure on Bettinelli, but rotation with Fabianski looks good.
  • First 10 games: CRY – BOU – BUR – WLV – eve – WAT – eve – bha – cda – BOU

Defence

  • Mendy/Robertson/Luiz/Boly/Tomkins
  • Most I’ve spent in defence from the start – I normally play just one big hitter and 4 rotating cheapies.
  • All defenders with potential for attacking points.
  • Mendy a risk worth taking, looked brilliant before his injury.
  • Luiz a risk, so will keep a close eye on the Community Shield.
  • Tomkins looks to be the best 4.5 for me.

Midfielders

  • Got to start with Salah.  Can always downgrade.
  • Mahrez was brilliant at Leicester.  Playing with better players at Man City, I can only see him getting better.  Another one to look out for in the Community Shield.
  • Pedro is a risk, but if he’s nailed he will get attacking points.
  • Watford fixtures look favourable.  Deulofeu looked grerat when on loan from Barcelona last season.
  • Stephens is my 4.5 bench player.

Forwards

  • Aguero is world class.  Possibly some doubts on whether he starts or not.  Keeping an eye on the Community shield.  Will swap to Aubameyang if there are doubts.
  • Arnautovic ended last season in spectacular fashion and this has continued into pre-season.  Made the mistake of not getting him in last time around.
  • Zaha also reclassified as a forward this season.  Does this mean more bonus points?  Doubts over who his strike partner will be at Crystal palace, but I see him returning points regardless. Will need to reconsider if he moves.

1.0 itb to use in an emergency.  eg upgrade Mahrez to Mane, or Deulofeu to Doucoure.

Conclusion

The Key here is flexibility.  Setting price brackets for positions and then finding the right players to fit in.  eg I don’t know if Pedro is the right 6.5 to have, but can easily switch to Jota, Richarlison, or whoever else.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Where have I gone wrong, and where have I gone right? What do you suggest I change?

    Atm my team is very template. Thoughts?

    Ryan
    PvA Robertson Davies
    Pedro Salah Richarlison Mahrez
    Aguero Zaha Arnie
    Button Kenedy Boly AWB

    Community Shield should help me decide players

      Looks nice, although Davies has been playing left centre back in pre season

    2. Legomané

      The Ryan Button combo is a little under the radar...zombie team special 🙂

    RMT please

    Rui patricio
    Otamendi, Robertson, Rudiger, Aurier
    Salah, Mane, Pedro, Lucas
    Aguero, King

    Bench: Stekelenberg, W-Bas, Stephens, Kamara

      Aurier will be a rotated once Trippier is back. Other than that I like it.

      1. DannyMacdonald
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks, I plan to transfer out Aurier after gwk 2 as part of a 'mini wildcard' so he's in there for a bit of a punt

  3. FPL Mentor
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    A, B or C

    A.
    Azpi
    PVA
    Fabianski

    B.
    Luiz
    Bailly
    Ederson

    C.
    Luiz
    Coleman
    Ederson.

    1. DannyMacdonald
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      'A' as ederson will not get many save points so the value gained over fabianski will be minimal

      1. FPL Mentor
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Currently on A at the moment. Think im right in going PVA over Bailly? Really like the attacking potential of PVA . Hoping he can combined eith Zaha.

        1. DannyMacdonald
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          I was a big fan of PVA (for the goal 'fun' value), however if he fails to get attacking returns then you will see a lot of 2 pointers. David Luiz or Rudiger (if find 0.5 more) would be more reliable imo

      2. Wonderful Wizard Hazard
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Possibly true, but Ederson had more points than Fab last season. Ederson is also the cheapest and most guaranteed way into City defense.

        1. FPL Mentor
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Ederson only scored 1pt more than Fabianski last season.

          1. Wonderful Wizard Hazard
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            That's still more 😉

            It's a tough one for me. I like Ederson because it is set and forget. No dealing with rotations and like I said, you get a cheap way into MCI defense. If you are going with Fab and fodder then that is one thing, but if you are going for a 4.5 x2 rotation, then you are only saving 0.5 and should be looking at getting in a MCI defender for 6.0 or more.

            1. Mr Flibble
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 9 months ago

              Ederson's wife is pregnant. He'll likely miss some time even if it's just a week so make sure you have a playing 2nd

              1. George Sillett
                • 8 Years
                5 years, 9 months ago

                The first sprog was knocked out in June last year. Do the maths to work out the earliest arrival time for rhe second.

    2. Manani
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      is Luiz a starter?

      1. FPL Mentor
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Pre-Season would indicate so. But not overly convinced. Think its best to play it safe with Azpi. BAP magnet.

    Thoughts on this?

    Ederson

      Like it

  5. Mackans
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    RMT - What about this Heavy Midfield team?

    Foster
    Shaw Zabaleta Cook
    Salah Sane Mane Eriksen Richarlison
    Firmino Zaha

    Bench: Speroni, Cedric, Bissaka, Kamara

    1. DannyMacdonald
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Defence is very weak. I would downgrade firmino to a 6.5 and invest in a city defender for their gwk2-7

      1. thekingiii
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Agreed. Shaw is risky, not convinced by Zabaleta given WHU's fixtures early doors, BOU didn't keep many clean sheets last year.

        Cracking midfield though

    2. LegendMoon
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Lack of goals at the top plenty of them flying in at the back , exciting midfield- r u bielsa?

  6. CHRISTO-PHER
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Hi, can I get your thoughts on this: 352
    Ederson - Forster
    Tomkins - Bailly - Schlupp (Tarkowski, 4)
    Mane - Salah - Bernado Silca - Mahrez - Richarlison
    Lacazette - Zaha (4.5)

    Thks!

    1. thekingiii
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Keep an eye on Forster - not nailed as first choice, although I imagine you would swap him for McCarthy if he isn't

      I like the Bilva pick. I'm very tempted by him

      Any reason why Laca over Auba? Purely price?

      1. CHRISTO-PHER
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Yes, price and also I think LAC will play CF. He has had a decent pre-season. B Silva is also having a good pre-season. Schlupp is tgere till I find a better one.

  7. @fpl_phenom
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Rate my 442 team please.... I think this is half decent!

    -------------Allison---------------------
    Luiz Bailly Robertson Mendy
    Salah Sanchez Richarlison Pedro
    --------Aguero Arnautovic----------

    Subs:
    Stekellengurg
    WanBissaka
    Ward
    Quanar

    1. The Mighty Hippo
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      That's a very decent team. I assume you're keeping your options open regarding Sanchez ---> KdB at some point? I also think Maddison is a better 6.5 option that Richarlison, but that's just a gut feeling.

      1. @fpl_phenom
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        know nothing about this maddison guy, new signing?

        1. The Mighty Hippo
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          He's likely to be playing in the no.10 role for Leicester. Was very impressive when out on loan at Norwich and Aberdeen and has performed very well in pre-season by all accounts. Likely to be on most set pieces.

        2. George Sillett
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          I used to watch him whilst he was at Coventry. Very talented but I would give it a few weeks at Leicester before getting him. PL is very different to the lower leagues.

          1. The Mighty Hippo
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            That's true, there are many players from other leagues who flatter to deceive before joining the PL. I do like having a punt on at least one player though, so will probably be going for Maddison. Keita is my other tip, but I've used up too many Liverpool slots already to consider him.

      2. @fpl_phenom
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        and yes Sanchez to KDB GW3 and possibly Kun to Aubamayang in the same week....

      3. @fpl_phenom
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        just checked out maddison... dont want leicester players but cheers for the feedback...

        maybe Jota instead?

        1. The Mighty Hippo
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          I don't know much about Jota, but he seems to be very highly rated on here. There's a lot of great options at 6.5 this year (Richarlison, Pedro, Jota, Maddison, Mili, Fab etc.) so in the worst case we should easily be able to jump on a bandwagon if one of them hits the ground running.

    2. Malkmus
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Looks good. Maybe def a bit heavy and mid a bit light? I'm going auba over kun especially after pep was raving about jesus today

      1. @fpl_phenom
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        true but he also stated he was going 352 so Mendy and Kun look very tempting in that case.... Jesus and Kun may both play in that system

    3. thekingiii
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Good team. Easy switch Kun for Auba if the CS indicates more time for Jesus

      Don't like the Sanchez pick but again, easy transfer out if needed

      1. @fpl_phenom
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Just really fancy Alexis from watching pre-season... looks so sharp and quick... I think hes been absolutly wrecked from not havin a summer off for a good few years.... plus I really want KDB as a set and forget city attacker for the season and leaving money in the bank I think is very negative....

  8. Dillonb93
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Advise appreciated on this team... I think it’s pretty good

    Pickford
    PVA Luiz Trent
    Salah Sane Siggy Maddison Cairney
    Auba Firmino

    Hamer Cedric Kamara Wann-B

    1. Malkmus
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Hmm. Eve def not too great imo. Luiz, TTA not nailed. Rest looks ok. Is Sane match fit? I'm going mahrez.

      1. Dillonb93
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        I think Luiz will start, if he doesn’t play community shield I’ll swap
        Also think Trent is nailed, if press conference isn’t good maybe I trade to lovren

    2. DannyMacdonald
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Might be better to have steklenberg as the sub keeper if pickford isnt back (i havent been following everton's team news!). Maybe Aguero instead of Auba as he will give a nice differential captaincy in gwk 2 and can always swap back after gwk2

      1. Dillonb93
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        I was thinking maybe change to Stekelenburg, but if Everton are good, with their fixtures I feel I might want a 3rd outfield player...

        Arsenal fan so gotta have Auba haha

  9. Malkmus
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Evening all. Any thoughts on this? Going 3-4-3.

    Fab - 4.0
    Mendy - Robbo - Tomkins - (Wan Bissaka - Bennet)
    Salah - Mahrez - XXX - XXX - (Ward)
    Auba - Arnie - XXX

    A - Richa, Maddison , Firmino
    B - Sanchez - Cairney, Zaha

    A gives more balance but if Sanchez is back to his best he's gold before luka returns.

    Ta !

        Thanks. I'm finding it hard to deny alexis...

  10. The Mighty Hippo
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    RMT please:

    Patricio
    Luiz | Robertson | Mendy
    Salah | Mane | Mahrez | Maddison | Cairney
    Aguero | Arnautovic

    Norris | Tomkins | Wan-Bissaka | Kamara

    1. thekingiii
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I like it. Not convinced by Maddison, I think he may take time to find his feet, but with so many good options at the 6.5m point it's hard to choose

    2. Goonsquad245
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I have v similar - Rich/Costa over Maddison/Cairney and my main worry is Mahrez.... just so much uncertainty over that team for such a lot of the budget.....

  11. no1baj
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    My first time playing the game!! Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated from more experienced managers. I am aware Hazard could go.

    Fabianski
    Davies / Tomkins / Daniels
    Sane / KDB / Hazard / Mane
    Iheanacho / Aguero / Austin

    Cairney / Cedric / Wan-Bissaka.

    1. DannyMacdonald
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Doubt KDB or hazard will start gwk1. Maybe invest in a better defender than Daniels as he's a rotation risk

    2. Goalosaurus
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      First time playing, how did you end up with a 6 year badge? :p

      Same as what Danny says, keep an eye out for any news on GW1 starters. Iheanacho is an interesting one, couple of goals in pre-season, could be decent option f he gets the gametime.

  12. King Kun Ta
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Please RMT...

    Pickford (Begovic)
    Robertson Daniels Tarkowski (Malone Tomkins)
    Salah (c) Mkhitaryan Sane Richarlison (Stephens)
    Morata/Firmino (?) Zaha Laca

    Hope to get Some feedback! Cheers!

    1. DannyMacdonald
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Morata is devoid of any confidence so i would hold back on him until gwk3 and evaluate then!

    2. Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Really not sure about Morata, prefer Firm out of the two. Malone and Daniels big doubts, prefer Lowton over Tark, but that's just me being picky so really don't look too much into that

      Solid team.

    3. thekingiii
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Good chance Daniels won't be a starter from GW3

    4. King Kun Ta
      • 8 Years

      Ta y’all! A bit of work to do....

      But will the Firm play in GW1?

    1. interloper
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      A bit worried about Coleman being nailed, even more for Lacazette. Also, ARS first two fixtures are pretty awful (re: Lacaz and Mhikt). Maybe a punt in Richarlison for a couple weeks?

      1. A.T
        • 13 Years

        Who is Coleman in competition with?

  16. TheSpecial_One

    Pickford/Leno
    Davies/Alexander-Arnold/Baily/Digne/Maguire
    Sanchez/Eriksen/Keita/Mkhitaryan/Cork
    Firmino/Tosun/Zaha

    What do you think?

    1. Unimaginative
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I don't like 10m on keppers and unsure if Leno is defo number1 yet.
      Not loving spurs early fixtures so I'm not picking any of them from the get go. Small chance Davies plays CB too??
      Digne and Maguire are not value imo. Also not sold on Touson yet but could be a punt worth taking I suppose. Feel like if I had two 7m forwards, one would defo be Arnie even with the poor fixtures.
      The fact I am unsure what formation you are playing means your squad is strong but I'm going with a clear bench of fodder and setting up an exact formation from the start

    I'd have Sanchez & Mane placeholders for Hazard & KDB. Thoughts?

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years

      cant argue with it ... looks decent! obviously id rather a stronger keeper.... I prefer set and forget ederson or DDG or allison

      1. Maddi Son
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Flip flopping every day mate. I'm pretty sure I'll end up with Ederson... only recently been flirting with the idea of a cheapie keeper.

      Bailly all day long

      nice team!

        Cheers.....guess I need to see if either team sign a new CB..

    2. LegendMoon
      • 7 Years

      Luiz all the way, cairney or neves rather than Stephens though , neves may have more freedom with moutinho there

        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers....

        Is need to find to 0.5m to upgrade Stephens to cairney....

        Nor sure it would be worth turning one of the keepers into a 4m....

      Why choose when you could have both??
      Switch to a 433, downgrade jota or rich to a 5.5 1st bench sub and upgrade kabasele. Go one further and down grade to a 5.0 and go for one 5.5 keeper + a 4.0?? Downgrade all the way to another 4.5 mid and bring your 6.5 mid up to Miki ?? Maybe a step too far but just some options

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks - but I don't want to go with a 4 at the back option....

        Just one mistake or stroke on genius and the clean sheet is gone....

        It's a def 3 at the back for me - but appreciate your opinion...

    Not an explicit RMT but would you rather have Arnie or Gross (different positions I know but same price) given both have tough fixtures? Maybe it’s Chicha starting with Arnie that’s put me off slightly and I’m over thinking....

    1. stat
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Arnie I think - West Ham likelier to score against big teams than Brighton.
        Having said that, I'm not sold on Arnie anymore because of Chicha - got Zaha instead.

        1. Big4FPL
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          See i’d already put myself off Zaha to Arnie so Gross is my next progression lol - the 6.5-7.5 bracket across strikers and mids is puzzling me atm

          1. stat
              5 years, 9 months ago

              How about Siggy?
              Everton haven't looked very good in pre-season but their fixtures are good, he might be on pens, and he's on FKs with last season's most fouled player (Richarlison) now in his team.

      • @fpl_phenom
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Courtois looks to be staying put at chelsea so is it not better just to get him instead of Luiz as he is 100%nailed on ?

        just dawned on me looking at my own team

        1. UshFPL
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          The problem with that is the 4.5 GK you get instead of Courtois will probably outscore the 4.5 defender you get instead of Luiz

        2. stat
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Not much value in Courtois. Doesn't make many saves and only got 4 BP last season.
            I think you're better off with a 4.5 GK that might outscore him + a 5.5 defender (Bailly maybe?)

          Slightly over budget - any thoughts?

          1. LegendMoon

            Richarlison to Armstrong - save 1M

            How much over budget?

            Nice team, how much over budget?

            Personally I would downgrade a defender, Luiz to a 4.5 do it?

          Just wondering if anyone else is making plans to get Hazard in their team? Around the time he'll be back, Chelsea have got Newcastle, Bournemouth and Cardiff. (The last two home games)

          Just screams points to me under a manager like Sarri.

          1. Champione
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Hazard and KDB being back late is another argument for starting the season with Sanchez imo. Easy swap if he doesn't deliver

            1. @fpl_phenom
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 9 months ago

          2. Masqueraderx
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            After the way he played at the world cup. 100% yes.
            I'd want to watch a couple of games under sarri before comitting tho- is he going to score more than KDB (and as an outside bet, Sanchez) at the same price point?

            1. Maddi Son
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 9 months ago

              I'm looking at getting KDB too. Here's my team atm:

              Patricio,
              Robbo, Luiz, Mendy
              Cairney, Salah, KDB, Hazard, Richarlison
              Laca, Arnie

              4.0 (Usual fodder)

              I actually don't think it looks too out of balance. Possible chance I'll downgrade a defender to upgrade bench but not sure. What do you think?

              1. Masqueraderx
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 9 months ago

                I'd be worried about being in a mini league against those big hitters, but I always want to keep a fully balanced squad. I fear for a last min injury and not picking up the 2 points from my fodder not playing.
                Surely hazard isnt gonna be in for GW1 tho?...

                1. Masqueraderx
                  • 5 Years
                  5 years, 9 months ago

                  or KDB for that matter.

                2. Maddi Son
                  • 6 Years
                  5 years, 9 months ago

                  Yeah sorry, forgot to mention that I'd have Sanchez & Mane placeholders for KDB & Hazard. Then I'd double transfer in GW3.

                  Of course it's never usually that easy! Probably will be a transfer needed elsewhere, although I should be able to get at least one of them in.

            • 7 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Yes, i was just thinking the same thing. Have Sanchez in which is an easy switch

        7. J to the T
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          After much deliberation:

          Enderson (Stecklenberg)
          Robertson Bailly PVA (Cedric Wan-Bis)
          Salah Miki Sanchez Schurrle (Stephens)
          Kun Zaha Austin

          1. Champione
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Strong team. Personally I want to see how Fulham can perform before I invest in their attack. From what I've seen Schurrle's numbers the last seasons haven't been very impressive. Also fear that Austin has to share gametime with Gabbiadini and Long. The rest looks really good

            1. J to the T
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 9 months ago

              Thanks for the reply and glad you like it.

              Swap Schurrle and Austin for Richarlson and Jimenez is an option with Jimenez likely benched and Cedric starting. Jin Inez clearly unproven at this level....

              1. Champione
                • 8 Years
                5 years, 9 months ago

                That's the problem. Hard to find good strikers below 6.0. An option would be Austin > 4.5 bench fodder, Schurrle > Richarlison/Maddison/Jota, Cedric > Luiz/Coleman

            Looks light on captaincy options for my taste. Salah looks a strong favourite for captain for some early rounds and if he fires you'll be regretting it!

            Value wise that's a really strong team. As long as Salah deliver as your set and forget captain, that team will do really well. Would ideally want a defender with more potential for attacking points than Bailly though

            Thoughts on my team?
            Tried to minimize the rotation risks in my starting 11 (bar Bailly).
            The squad is set up for the first 4-5 GWs:

            Foster
            Robbo - Bailly - Kabasele
            Salah - Richarlison - Mane - Sanchez - Eriksen
            Zaha - King

            Hamer - AWB - Bamba - Kamara

            Goalies:
            * Foster's first 4 games are arguably the best of any 4.5 keeper - BHA bur CPA TOT
            * Hamer as my backup keeper because there's a chance he might be the only playing 4M keeper at the start of the season - from what I've read, he has looked very good in pre-season while Lossl has been disappointing.

            Defenders:
            * Kabasele / AWB / Bamba rotate well - BHA NEW hud SOU
            * Robertson might be slightly likelier to be rotated than VVD, but I feel he'll be involved in more goals than VVD.
            * I'm still not 100% confident about having Bailly in my team, but he's featured a lot for United in pre-season and with Smalling/Rojo linked with moves away and Jones/Lindelof not having featured in pre-season due to the WC, I can't envision Bailly being benched in GW 1 even with Mourinho at the helm. I think Utd will keep a clean sheet in GW 1 with Vardy out. Hopefully if Bailly does well there'll be no reason to drop him.

            Mids:
            * Salah - 32 goals, 12 assists, 26 bonus points. Nuff said.
            * Mane - Potentially on pens and has a higher PPM than Firmino.
            * Eriksen - On tons of set pieces, maybe even on pens if Kane is out. Generally a reliable player to have.
            * Sanchez - He's looked good in pre-season and he's a potential placeholder for KDB / Hazard.
            * Richarlison - I was between getting Mendy and playing 4-4-2 vs Richarlison in a 3-5-2 - ultimately went for the latter as he's more assured of starts. His fixtures look good, but the hope is that his finishing will improve.

            Forwards:
            * Went with Zaha over Arnie because there's a chance Pellegrini starts Chicharito up front, hindering Arnie's potential. Also, even though Arnie's stats from last season are mostly superior to Zaha's, I expect Zaha to do better due to fixtures.
            * King over Wood due to his injury / heavy schedule with the EL. King also potentially on pens.

              Last thing I heard from Zaha was " I honestly need to leave palace this summer". "Chelsea or wherever mate". You might want to reconsider picking zaha

                    He's currently 11 to 8 on to stay at his current club and Roy Hodgson says he is confident that he will stay.

                    So I don't think we ought to be too worried about that. Just monitor the situation till the transfer window closes.
