Guys i need help, please RMT and give advice:
Krul Mannone
Cahill Chambers Wisdom Bruce Cameron
Fabregas Sterling Barkley Ramsey Rodwell
Rooney Costa JoveticOpen Controlschambers will only play first gw or 2, transfer waiting to happen
Cameron not nailed on
Barkley I like long term but difficult opening fixtures
Mannone likely to start but competition from pantmillonOpen Controls
would you have:
A)sterling + Henderson
B)Sterling + siggy
C)Henderson + siggy + 2.5m (probs would upgrade forward to jovetic etc)Open ControlsB)

I wonder how much Di Maria would be if United signed him..probably something awkward like 9.5m..
Open ControlsB by a little
Open Controls
Anybody know the WBA probable starting 11?
Is Baird or Wisdom more likely to start?
Have Wisdom ATM. WBA rotate very well with my other defenders but am I better off with Baird.
Rotating with Stoke, Swansea, Crystal Palace (Chel)
Other options- Bruce, HuttonOpen ControlsWisdom more likely to start according to http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/team-news/

Hi all,
I have costa
A) Siggy + Sterling +1m
B) Herdson + Fabs 0m
Any opinions on this one ;sOpen ControlsWho do you prefer to start the season with?
A. Sterling
B. FabregasOpen ControlsIt seems to Manolas to Arsenal is almost done
don't know the immediate implication of this but Koscielny is suffering from a chronic Achilles problem and the club is afraid that He could miss a big chunk of the season .. so , the need for another CBOpen ControlsFerdinand or Simpson ?
Open ControlsThoughts on Alan Hutton? He's played every game at RB in pre-season and seems to be on good terms with Lambert again. A mate is a Villa fan and swears he'll be the starting RB this year.
I don't care about his poor discipline just as long as he starts games.Open ControlsHow many Arsenal, Chelsea and Utd do you guys have?
Open Controls16 minutes for the last page.
Open ControlsSterling

There doesn't seem to be much love for Y Toure, does anyone know why?
Open ControlsHe's going to have to be as productive as he was in his top form last year to justify his price. It can happen, but it likely won't.
Open Controls
Off to bed.
NightOpen ControlsMaybe stary the season with rio ferdinand and adjust later... Doesn't feel right though
Open ControlsI am starting with a QPR defender. 3 good home fixtures apin the first 6 league games.
Open Controls
Anyone tempted to get a really cheap striker and roll out a 3-5-2?
Open ControlsBig Dilemma, I have Azpi, Siggy & Erikson but only 5.0 up front and need 5.5 really so thinking to change to Sterling, Brady, Azpi and then I can afford Fletcher or 5.5 up front.
What do you think?Open ControlsIs Ward still nailed on? And what is the status on Mariappa?
Open ControlsHe is. Mariappa has never been and he probably is less atm with Kelly around
Open Controls
My team so far
Rooney/Costa/Dzeko
Mata/Rambo/siggy/sterling + Wanya
Filipe/Came/coloc/ + moore/Wisdom
Dgg/Myhill
1 mill in the bank - do i upgrade a defender or keep the money ?
Is it essential to have a city player ?
Will wanyama play? ;sOpen ControlsUsual spiel about feedback and appreciation (and a little bit of justification in there too)
De Gea
Cahill Chambers (there until a must have 4.5 appears) Cameron
Sanchez Fabregas Arnautovic Sessegnon (GW1 punt: swapping to Siggy)
Rooney Diego Costa Dzeko
Myhill, Vlaar, Mariappa, AlbrightonOpen ControlsWhat makes you think Kelly is going to play? Could easily be signed as back-up as he can fill in across the whole back line.
He's inexperienced as well. Too much doubt over both Kelly and Mapps nowOpen ControlsHe's not inexperienced. Played quite a bit for Liverpool and he's quite a decent player.
Open Controls
I failed and my reply is further down the page
Open ControlsNothing original in these comments, but:
Chambers - would be great if he gets a decent run in the team, but you will probably left with a trade to make on your defence early doors which is never a good thing when you will definitely have "more important" transfers to make.
Cameron might not start.
Sanchez may need a bit of time to settle, going off recent performances. Consider Ramsey if you are set on Arsenal.
Fabregas could be gold if he has the 10 role. Double pivot and he might struggle for big points. You could upgrade to Hazard if you go with Ramsey and not Sanchez.
Mariappa might not play.
Vlaar plays for Villa.
Albrighton is struggling with an injury.Open Controls
With southmapton's opening schedule, is Long a better choice now than Bojan?
Open Controlsthe 2 best midfielders in the premier league imo along with ramsey
2mil more is a lot of money though so price wise cescOpen Controls
chambers may only buy you one or 2 gws, so start choosing your replacement soon
not sold on Sanchez, pref Ramsey and then strengthen midfield
Mariappa unlikely to start and Cameron a risk also - I'd start considering a replacement just in caseOpen ControlsOops goz that was for you!
Open Controls
A. 5.5/5.0/4.5/4.5/4.0
B. 5.5/4.5/4.5/4.5/4.5
C. 5.0/5.0/4.5/4.5/4.5Open ControlsDoes anyone know if Austin is on pen or free kicks ?
Open ControlsPenalties
Barton takes the FK's (badly)Open Controls
In the rooney costa sturridge camp, its the only logical and safe attack I reckon 🙁
Open Controlshardly the only option. it's a bit of a gamble IMO. if it works the rewards are huge but if not you have a lot of remodelling for the rest of the team
Open Controls
Krul/Elliot
PJones, **, Taylor, Wisdom, **
Ramsey, ** , Mata, Sigurdsson, Marney
Dzeko, Rooney, Diego Costa
A) Terry, Hutton, Fabregas
or
B) Ward, van Aanholt, HazardOpen ControlsI'm having Martin Kelly if he signs for Palace. I've always thought he was a very decent young player and looks to be a bargain if reports of a £1.5m fee are true. But let me ask you this question. Who the flipping heck shall I get to rotate with him?
