    Anyone got an insight into the chelsea GK situation?

    Is it a case that Cech is number 1 until he gets injured/ loses form? Or is Teebow going to slot straight in & start... Or are they going to be rotated?

    A nailed on chelsea GK at just 6.0 would be fantasy gold & would also stop me from toggling between JT/Azpi/Luis/No chelsea defs!

      I think Courtois is #1...but if I get him it'll need to be him and a £4m and I'm worried if Cech plays I'll end up with 0 points from my keeper.

        Yeah i was leaning towards courtois... But its very harsh on cech to just get relegated to the bench right out the gate. I though jose might gove cech benefit of the doubt & start the season with him as #1... I was thinking of going with krul or foster for gw 1 & keeping 1.5 ITB to upgrade to whoever jose starts vs. burnley...

      The best insight will come from Demi, but I don't think even he will know for sure.
      Personally I am fairly certain Teebow, as you call him, will be no 1.
      Can you imagine how good he'll be training with Cech.

      Yoshida is flying under the radar quite nicely.
      Chambers could be good short term value & in line for price rises.
      Rosenior attacking & goal threat...
      NTaylor @ Swansea (altho bartley should get similar points for 4.0)
      Cameron, although now doubts over his start vs. bardsley.
      Sunderland/newcastles 4.5s rotate well
      Rio should get CS's as long as he stays fit

      I'm sure there are others

    @ Royal 5.
    Sturridge is obviously brilliant, I'm just not sure what he'll be like without his right hand man. Coutinho will feed him a lot as will other players, but I think there is better value out there. The idea is to see how he and Liverpool play and potentially WC GW4.

        Hmm thought it was a goal galore in recent years, Arsenal's defense resilience has played a great part in stopping the Spurs I think.

      Be careful of Luis.

      Other than that, it looks really good for a 3-5-2

      For me, B clearly wins out:

      Jovetic looks much sharper from preseason and Pellegrini seems to like him.
      Cahill is the safest pick (along with Terry) in a very hard to call defense.

      Eriksen to start with, easy to change if Lamela produces his Roma form

      Still very up in the air. I was the biggest Lamela sceptic when people started mentioning him, but I have reassessed my position on him due to several changes between this season and last season and would currently be more tempted by him, but for now I won't choose either until I know which one to go with. Going for Ramsey, Fab, Sterling and Siggy mid 4.

      Always hazard. Even last game when fab scored. But we know fab well from FPL days. He's prolific
