No Sanchez is a risk , No chelsea defender , Bad keeper rotation both teams are very very poor defensively , Wisdom and Hutton are not nailed on

Good team, no obvious issues.

The above comment is absolute rubbish lol Hutton seems nailed on ATM, and same for Wisdom unless something changes. Not a Caulker fan but he may come good.

Overall I'd say good team, quite similar to the template. Just monitor the next few friendlies carefully (& I personally believe Arsenal will struggle with CL whilst the Germans recuperate).

Good team. My only concern is not having a Chelsea defender with Mourinho's park the bus philosophy, but it's difficult to really pick a nailed on defender there (only maybe Cahill).

Nice looking team, but I'd keep it as it is.

Man get rid of fabregas and upgrade ya defence 🙂 apart from that's it looks great

Looks pretty good. Maybe downgrade siggy or bojan and upgrade defence.

Terrible defense and Bojan is a massive risk because he has not played a competitive game against a decent team yet

That defence is cheaper than a whores handbag but its an interesting strategy.

I have gone all cheap to decent effect before thou I prefer at least one big solid rock in there.

I agree with the rest, weak defense, I'm not a fan of top heavy teams, I always support better balance. Fab down to Sterling, Davies up to Evans or Debuchy maybe. Davies isn't nailed on, has Rose to compete with.

At least youll have at least one Chelsea defender starting!

I think Luis looks the least likely to start, I'd swap for Azpi if I were you but that's by no means guaranteed. Liverpool have bad fixtures to start the season so I wouldn't worry too much about covering them.

Your strike force is a nightmare and will probably need to be overhauled in a week or two . You will waste transfers and miss out on band wagons and possibly have to wildcard early

I like the Ramsey Sanchez combo. Jovetic is in good form but will need to be transferred early. Not sure if Luis is necessary, maybe rather Koscielny or even Evans. Davies not nailed so maybe even Luis to Vertonghen and Davies to Clyne.

Depends who the 4.5 mid is. I'm not too sure about Chester and Ferdinand myself, Hull could rotate a lot due to Europe and Ferdinand is quite injury prone.

Nice team 🙂 I'd keep Bojan in 🙂 and get a bench mid

Looks good. just 2 comments / suggestions:

1. Not sure about Ferdinand. Cameron / Vlaar / Taylor are probably more likely starters for 4.5m.

2. Not sure about rotating Bojan with 4.5 mid. If you don't want to start with Bojan every week you could downgrade Sanchez to Ramsey and upgrade 4.5 mid to Henderson and then rotate by playing 2 from Bojan / Siggy / Henderson - Just a thought.....

Nice team you know the risks with bojan but you should be able to downgrade a mid to a bandwagon mid when you want to . Hull are in Europe so watch that carefully , Ferdinand may be rotated because he is as old as the hills , Wisdom is not nailed on

Not sure if De Gea is worth the money, I would downgrade him and have a 4.5 5 GK combo, with Evans as United defense cover. The rest looks good.

If you play 3-5-2 it shouldn't matter. I'd personally change Bavies, Mariappa, and Bruce to 3 4.5s that you know will play as I'm not sure any of those are nailed on completely.

Could probably upgrade Zamora to either Weimann or Bojan who are more likely to play.

Zamora ? Austin seems to be the man on pens , No sanchez , Henderson looks like a poor pick compared to Sterling , no chelsea defender

Seems a solid and balanced team.

Clyne and Sterling seem alright to me.. Dzeko will be nailed imo if City play with 2 up front but if they play with a lone striker it could well be Aguero, with Jovetic potentially on the left.

Bojan is a risk , Dzeko will be a poor longterm pick because you will constantly fear rotation and not be able to captain him , I like Snodgrass but he could be rotated due to competition + Europa League ,

Nice 🙂 I'd get rid of hazard and put Sanchez and Eriksen in and get rid of Davies for maybe caulker 🙂

Looks fine to be, but I agree with the other guy - I prefer Caulker to B Davies.

Snoddy to a 4.5m and play Siggy every game. Avoid Bojan like the plague.

I still dont like Bojan as a pick but maybe im wrong because this is about the seventh time I have said it in several posts . Snodgrass will be rotated Europa League , No Sanchez

I wouldnt get Azpi

Not sure about Cameron. I'd change him to a different £4.5 def than switch Debuchy -> Azpi if you've got the 0.5

It's nice, although I don't think Cameron will play.

Bojan, out! 🙂

You might want to look at Mariappa instead of Cameron, excellent rotation with Caulker.

Not sure about Henderson & Luis. Rest of the team look good

Luis looks to be the 1 of the 5 Chelsea defs who doesn't have a starting berth.

Like this team nice balance. Would have ramsey over fab...ignore cover

Debuchy the only other problem there

Davies, Bartley are all not nailed on. Doubts could even be raised about Debuchy, Cahill, and Moore.
Basically I think you need to rework your defence a bit so have some more 100% nailed on players in there. Nothing is worse than having to spend early transfers on defenders.

Attack is ok but I think going with Albrighton and Bojan is a bit much. I know Bojan has nice fixtures but he is still a punt.

But will pochettino play Soldaldo?

He's had malaria so he might take a while to get fully fit.

Thanks Desange

debuchy -> evans
Gerrard -> Sterling
Bojan -> Austin

otherwise, pretty good

Not sure Cameron or Collins will start, like the Gerrard pick though 🙂

1 (which pains me as a Villa fan)

I'd personally bring in Debuchy over Kos for the .5 and BPS seemingly favouring full backs now but he could be a card magnet again and Arsenal starting fixtures won't be easy.

That, and I prefer Hazard as he's higher up. Zamora will be dead wood I think.

nasri -> siggy
herrera -> mata
fabregas -> hazard

gl

Cahill to Felipe Luis possibly? Alternatively you could downgrade Debuchy.

Giroud not guaranteed minutes. Downgrade him

Maybe downgrade Giroud?
Not looking good so far.

Its a good balanced side to be honest.

- Davies isn't nailed on with Rose signing a new contract with Davies being considered by the manager as 'competition'
- Dummett is also very short term, Santon will probably win that spot back when he returns from injury
- Herrera won't get forward often enough to threaten the goal. Might get a few assists but I don't think he will provide enough value to be worthwhile.
- Nasri might not get as much game time as you would like. Navas always seems to get on the pitch to steal away some minutes, sometimes starts as well. Maybe consider downgrading him to a mid priced midfielder which will free up cash for Mata instead of Herrera

Hererra to Tadic

Not sure about Giroud either

Thanks alot - great stuff.

Cameron not nailed on.

Who will you be benching from the front 8?

cameron--bruce--wisdom all 3 not nailed on..

My main concerns are B Davies & Cameron atm but that's one to monitor.
Strong front 8, might have problems benching one but that's a good problem to have.

honestly...one of the worst teams that I have seen

- Mannone isn't nailed on with Pantilimon in the squad
- Gerrard might not get as many penalties this season now that Suarez is gone, consider alternatives
- The bench is not good, not nailed on and of poor quality.

feel free everyone.....criticize as much as u want.....!!

I prefer Jovetic too.

Should know more after tomorrow.

1

marriapa/hutton not first choice?

Dont like hutton. Nice midfield. Like your cheeky austin punt

really very nice. you might consider evans and clyne/caulker to terry and moore/bartley/duff/wisdom

4.0 2nd keeper

Tadic/Lamela are unnecessary risks to begin the season.
Think Hazard is dear now.

Willl Clyne, Marri and Hutton play?

Pretty nice team.

Though, will Baines and Wisdom outscore two defenders costing 11, eg Evans & Debuchy, im not soo sure.

Looks solid but Jovetic and Dzeco not recommend

u sure abt taking 2 strikers 4m mancity??.....n by d way baines has sum tough fixtures...i will b taking him aftr a month or two....lamela i think is a nyc differential.....

I'm not convinced with rotating a midfielder and forward. I prefer a cheapie who you'll bench every week.

Agree with Spencer but good team tbf. Not a 3-5-2 fan because I think strikers are gold dust.

very similar to mine except mine is slightly better 🙂

horrible horrible defence... rest looks good

eriksen -> siggy and use the 2 mil to upgrade defence (get terry/cahill or evans for example)

think evans over jones just because of injuries, not sure about vlaar or cabella

nice team ,,, just Cabella also keep an eye on Dejong

Spine of a good team, but I think it needs a few changes.

B Davies isn't nailed on, so I'd consider another defender in that price range.

I'm not keen on Vlaar either - I'd think about van Aanholt from Sunderland.

Barkley and Cabella are a bit risky too. Have you considered downgrading Sanchez to Ramsey and upgrading those two with the extra funds?

Front three looks fine!

appreciating the cabella differential, he could be a big player.

Although de jong could get similar points and is 0.5 cheaper

Same strikers and GKs as my team! Know what you mean about Mata, but I think he is a quality player and you would like to think with Man U's initial fixtures, formation and with Rooney and RVP up top he should get a lot of assists and chip in with a few goals.
Will just have to wait and see whether Wisdom starts, and Barkley could be occasionally rotated with European games. Bojan is a little bit of a punt but could be a steal at 5.5. (I also have him so hoping it works out!)

absolutely fabregas and no fabregas. im i missing something - is he injured?

He seems to be playing deeper than he did in the earlier pre-season games. I think the fear of leaving out Hazard is settling in!

Pretty much a straight choice between Cesc and Hazard for most. Easy to downgrade, not so easy to upgrade.

because of hazard i think. mata is also a better shout indeed

Lovren/Debuchy to Evans for me. otherwise, very strong team

Solid team but Sturridge is risky, may be injured for GW1 and very tough fixtures in GW2 & 3. Maybe get Costa and upgrade 1.0m elsewhere?

I like it. Balanced midfield and attack. I'd personally go Eriksen over Lamela, but I'm not too brave so that's probably why.

Only way of freeing funds I can think is by going from DDG to a 5.0 and Vert and/or Luis to a 5.5. Frees up a million to invest elsewhere.
