      Blind is a DM primarily. He's a bit on the slow side to play LWB in a fast league like the Prem

      Rojo is the left footed CB they are desperate for. And can cover LB, LWB

      Seems like Ashley Young is doomed then. Backup to Valencia at RWB and no chance of playing LWB

        Under Van Gaal, at the World Cup, Blind played LWB and LCB in a 532 system the majority of the time. He only really plays that midfield role at Ajax. Would be some move by LVG if he benches a 30 million buy.

      Why is Lovren such a popular pick, what have I missed? 30%. most popular defender, and that's with city and spurs away in the first three games... Do people expect Liverpool to tighten up at the back? Why is Mignolet so unpopular then? Doesn't make any sense to me.

        I think people really rate Lovren as a defender and think he'll help Liverpool tighten up. Also he's a good goal threat. Liverpool only need to tighten up a bit and he's a good pick. If they tighten up just a bit more, I think he's a great pick. Mignolet's unpopular, I assume, because cheaper rotating gks tends to be more economical.

      A) 5.5 (Evans), 4.5, 4.0, 4.0, 4.0

      B) 4.5, 4.5, 4.5, 4.5, 4.0

      Anyone know if albrighton is a guaranteed starter? I'm looking for the cheapest player guaranteed game time. Who would you recommend?

      Little advice please, lads. Now that Kelly is in for Palace I'm not so sure about my team. I suppose I could replace Mariappa with Kelly as I'd be benching him the first week anyway. But with Costa firing again I'm thinking of a top heavy team as well...

      A or B

      Bego Myhill

      Baines Chester Kelly Wisdom Hutton

      Haz Mata Rambo Siggy Isgrove

      Studge Roon Costa

      or

      Bego Myhill

      Ward Chester Naylor Wisdom Hutton

      Mata Rambo Lamela Siggy Isgrove

      Studge Roon Costa

        Oops. Should be Diouf instead of Costa in the first one.

          B, but I'd go Eriksen over Lamela

            Like Eriksen but I think Poch is building the team round Lamela. Completely torn now on the teams. Not sure which way to go.

          Nope. Should've been Diouf instead Costa as the third striker.

          Post fail. Will repost I guess...
