B, for me.

Number 1 providing Suarez is ready for the start of season

mine is
v perie, holt, zamora

I say A)

Ouch 🙂

May not play much

Unique - yes

Ivanovich/Terry/Luiz/Cole

Hard one

Suarez for Torres
and O'Hara for N'Zog? 😕

Not Torres for me

Also 6 in midfield? 🙂

I'd take out Torres, find a lower priced striker and spend it in defence - Distin is my wildcard pick for a cheeky defender

u cannot afford that 😕

Would say Hoilett but I´ve been crucified before...maybe Holt..or someone wich name starts with "H"? 🙂

That looks like a quality team. If anything, I would upgrade either Taylor or Johnson, or even both, to someone like Hangeland, or Cahill + Jags.

Rodallega!!!!!

If you've got Moses, then go Zamora. If not, then Rodallega with those fixtures.

Ouch

May not play much

Unique – yes

Ouch

May not play much

Unique – yes

I would choose Adam Johnson over Milner, at least if he doesn't start the game he usually comes on and scores

Any Beaujolais, or a Bardolino. Provence Rose, also. Are you near a Nicolas or a Majestic?

Swap Luiz for Hangeland, keep Orr and swap Hughes for Enrique/O'Shea/Bardsley 🙂

Good strong midfield, guess you playing 3-5-2 most of the season. I'd keep Hughes - (in my team below)

Actually Rodallega insted of Odem, just seent he fixtures

Pretty good, but Rafael's a probable rotation risk - switch him for a nailed-on starter and I think you've got a good team.

Is Jags a better option than steady Distin - otherwise I like the look of it?

Samba to Aresnal would cause me all sorts of problems. He'd be a strong choice.

I reckon Suarez won't be too far behind Rooney in FPL points this season (all things being equal), but your 5.5 man will have a hard time getting close to Baines.

Baines too pricey for me. I'd go Roonster GW1 plus a Wigan Def (Alcaraz), then look to switch Roon to Chelski forward and upgrade Wigan Def to Ful/Sun/AV over the next GW or two.

If you really want to start with that first 11 go for it but youwil lfind it hard to get one of the big strikers in without a points hit..

Change Al Habsi for Ruddy (if you are not starting Al Habsi with his GW1 fixture then there is no point in paying that extra 0.5 for him).

Use the 0.5 to change Ferguson for a 4.5 who will play veery week so he will come in if there is an injury (Dyer at Swansea maybe?)

Keep an eye on Wilkinson, if he looks set to start game she looks a great option at 4.0 (if it looks unlikely swap out for a defender from QPR who will play every game)

Good ploy.

Home to Stoke may be decent too, but think there's better options when taking the fixtures into account.

I either have:

A) Silva, Beattie, Zamorra

or

B) Sinclair, Suarez, Holt

Holt is on Pens and I do suspect he'll be stepping up even if he isn't getting a lot of other chances. Just my Opinion - though there will always be a need to leverage his inclusion against other picks.

Great that means I can take out my cheap 4.5 midfielder and also Al Habsi for Begovic who rotates better with Given! 🙂

It's possible, although playing performance is also a factor and who knows if he'll get near the first team. It's a shame for FPL though, either they should have priced several £4m Mids, or none. One is ridiculous.

A

Looks ok...I'm not sure on VDV at his price though, Spurs have an awful start to the season and the uncertainty over Suarez starting the season would make me go for a safer option.

Rotation threat. Other than Rooney, prob wise to avoid a lot of the United players until the best XI starts to take shape

I would worry about kelly starting & ben arfa being injured. Not super keen on your front line, but at least it is different

Nice but if Kun signs then replace him with Tevez and you will have spare to boost elsewhere.

2 Villa midfielders?? No thank you.

B by far

A, but not much in it

A

B for me

Bramble is the better buy by a distance.

yeh Bramble

Rotates with Given and has "easy" fixtures

Good match for Given...

The problem is viewing it in pairs I think Baines + Wilshere = 13.0 or N'Zogs + Hughes = 13.0. Defenders might be better value for money overall but you can get better value from the cheaper defenders than you can MFers.
Unless of course you play 4 or 5 at the back.
Also the golden rule of never captain a defender comes into play and you have a lack of captaincy options with a strong back 3.

The projections tell you a final total but a points per game rating is far more important as you can transfer players easily. RVP may be projection 185 points but as this is over 27 games is PPG rating is the highest. Also you need to consider that you want a range of good captain choices.

The thing that the stats fail to show is when those players will scor their points - you need to leverage this info against the fixtures and add in the "black swan" factor*

*There are things we know, things we know we don't know and things we don't know we don't know.

It's all probability.

3 wigan players is probably overkill, looking at your defence, think there are better options especially gibbs at 5.5 and briggs may not start.

Try RMT mark iii. I'd look at getting rid of Gibbs, Bardsley, and upgrade one of Gyan or Rodallega and downgrade the other...I'm also unsure of Yaya Toure at that price, I think wilshere at 6.5 is a better option. Kuyt is another player that needs to go.
