Today’s Members article sees the top ten defenders in terms of value come under the spotlight. What’s noticeable with regard to our projected points per Fantasy pound is only one of our top ten defenders ranks higher than any of yesterday’s top ten goalkeepers- with “Save” points boosting the goalkeeper tallies, it highlights the importance of picking the correct goalkeeper pairing in order to get the most out of your budget…
do you have to relink ur team to ur sign on name this season?
Open ControlsOK Chaps. this is my initial try at a team.

Deffo gonna fit aguero in when he joins city tho.
What d'yall think?Open ControlsIt's pretty good, some strong picks.
Reconsider Kelly, Senderos, Beattie, O'Shea and Al-Habsi.
Love the midfield 🙂Open ControlsKelly is staying unless kenny signs a new full back. which I dont see happening.
Senderos has been starting games in preseason so far, hes a cheap option if he continues to earn starts.
I personally think Beattie is a good shout, and not expensive.
Interesting to hear why you think I should reconsider O'shea tho.Open ControlsFair point with Kelly. He looks like a starter, keep him if you think Liverpool will keep clean sheets, but pre-season so far, and considering their start, it looks fairly unlikely.
Senderos if he starts is a great choice. More when we get confirmation though. I'd rather pay the extra for Hughes.
Beattie I don't like at all. He has neither set pieces nor penalties to help him, and Swansea have a really tough start. That and the fact you're giving up a striker spot which is one of the most valuable in the entire squad.
O'Shea isn't a good choice because you can get Bramble or Brown for cheaper and they'll probably score better too with the new bonus system.Open Controls
i think thats pretty dam good dare i say camzy is being a little harsh only beatie and dyer are unknowns to me the rest are ok imo

Whats that site again to check when a players value will be going up or down?
Open ControlsSorry if being dumb but unable to make transfers! What is this thing about Caps Lock? Thanks
Open ControlsJust signed in to my team on FPL site. The "my team" page is ok but on the transfers page the team has vanished and there are 15 grey shirts?!! Anyone else had this problem?
Open Controlsyes, same for me, yesterday it was fine - don't know what's up. i thought it was because i'm at work or something and certain things would be disabled.

i have gone for suarez and how do you ppl rate him against rvp ?
suarez sinclair zamora

rvp rodgella and a non playing midfielder?(dyer)>?Open ControlsIn GW2,3,&5 Swansea are at home with good fixtures... Does anyone know their starting back four at all?
Open ControlsRight guys, 3rd time lucky I hope.
Yes, I have no Chelsea or ManC attacking coverage but that can be rectified in GW2 by taking out VDV/a-n-other. I've taken into account a) season ticker b) projections c) gut feelings, plus other posts on here with reasoned arguments and have come up with a starting team of:
Given Ruddy
Simpson Kompany Hughes Ivanovic O'Shea
Van der Vaart Moses N'Zogbia Sinclair O'Hara
Van Persie Zamora Bent
Any reasoning (apart from luck, personal choice) why this wont work?Open Controlsi'm staying away from vdv at the beginning due to fixtures and going w/malouda, then it's an easy swap once they lighten up. i'd get at least one united player too.
Open ControlsI had Malouda in the beginning King Eric, but due to uncertainty over whether he'll start and Spurs are home to Everton, I think it's worth the gamble.
As far as ManU players - Rafael is bookmarked for when fixtures ease up.
Thanks for your opinion though, valid points 🙂Open Controls
Hey guys, you are probably bored to death with RMT now. I will throw mine in there.

CHEERSOpen ControlsA or B??
A) Suarez & Sessegnon/O'hara
B) Holt & Kuyt?
CheersOpen Controlssuarez combo and he's cheaper than kuyt and i reckon will score more pts. overall, also on free kicks.

A = Cech Ruddy
Rafael Kompany Hughes Simpson Orr
Lampard O’Hara Tarrabt Albrighton Dyer
Zamora RVP Suarez – 0.5 left
B = Al Habsi Given
A.Cole Kompany Hughes Simpson Orr
Lampard O’Hara Tarrabt Albrighton Dyer
Zamora RVP Suarez – 0 left
A or B? A gives me cech as chelsea CS cover and money to change Suarez if he wont play. Obvious q mark of rafeal and rotation.Open Controlsi'd assume wing, but don't know what mcleish's plans are yet or how he'll set up.
Open ControlsThanks, I will watch space. I think as long as Rafael looks as he will hold down RB I think A will be my team for start of season.
Open Controls
So in a shorter version
A) Cech Ruddy Rafael
or
B) Given Al-Habsi Cashley
😉Open Controls
Got a somewhat uninteresting problem for you. Be a doll and answer, won't you?
A) Downing and Rodallega
B) Moses and Suarez
Cheers m'dear.Open ControlsA
Open Controlsb
Open ControlsDowning's position is a little unsure as of yet, and at a new club I wouldn't start the season with him.
I'd rather Ba than Rodallega, but I'd try to find the extra .5m for Zamora.
Suarez may not start the season.
I'm not sold on Moses yet.
I'd go for B if pushed, but I think there are still a few too many uncertainties.Open ControlsYou make some valid points. I perhaps am being influenced too heavily by Wigan's first three fixtures
Open ControlsMaybe. I think they'll really struggle this year. Having said that, if Moses does play he just may be a decent cheapy.
I think my problem (and not just with your question) is all of the uncertainties surrounding the starting XIs at this stage of the season.
Personally, I've put down a XV that I'll probably barely tinker with now until a week or two prior to the start of the season.Open Controls
Given, Ruddy
Rafeal, Kompany, Cole (orr Simpson)
Lamps, Taarabt, nzog, Moses (Dyer)
RVP/Rooney Bent Rodallega
Now i know ppl are going to say too much money in defence but i honestly think that its hard to upgrade this midfield for the good except dyer. Anybody have any thoughts on gettin rid of Cole and then altering my midfield. This i think is the reason for everyones RMT being so similar in midfield.
Comments pleaseOpen ControlsThat is very nearly my exact team, until you get to the strikers. I've got Sinclair rather than Dyer, and RVP / Suarez / Holt up front. So yeah obviously I would say this but I think it looks alright!
Open Controlswhat if i switch cole for hughes and Taarabt for Downing?
Open Controls
team names. im stuck with Kuqi Monster.
go go go....Open Controlswhat do people think to Benayoun & Bosingwa getting regular game time at the start of the season? Also what about Walker (Spurs)?
Open Controlsno idea, wait and see. definitely watching walker, he'll be fighting it out w/either hutton or corluka, whoever stays.
Open ControlsI'm gambling on Bosingwa being a starter.
Open ControlsCan't see it to be honest. Chelsea back 4 / front 2 about as predictable as the lottery
Open Controlsa benayoun starting place wud make such a big difference to the amount of cash to spend elsewhere whilst still giving chelsea coverage...same goes for a modric transfer
Open ControlsI'm thinking Walker may get the nod. Really wany Benayoun & Bos to start as it gives me cheap chelsea coverage. People are saying Bow will play beacuse he & AVB are both portugeuse. I'm not buying into that but if AVB wants attacking football, surely Bos is his man for right back?
Open Controls
Any thoughts people? this is my first fantasy football season but i get the general idea?
De Gea (Ruddy)
Rafael Luiz Alcaraz (Simpson) (De laet)
Adam N’Zog Silva Taarabt (Ferguson)
Rooney Suarez ZamoraOpen Controls2 Utd defs is too much I think with their opening fixtures, maybe downgrade one.
Also Adam ins't nailed on and won't have the influence he did at blackpool. Don't think he's worth it for the price.Open Controls

Think iv done pretty well and can switch Suarez if he doesnt play etc.
Try and find some faults...Open ControlsWhat's happening with Birmingham FC.... 😕
http://twitpic.com/5wbm27Open ControlsDoes anyone think Downing will start this season in the Liverpool first team?
If so is he a better bet to start with than VDV?
Any advice appreciated plese.Open ControlsVDV is FPL gold. He puts up numbers regularly against all proponents.
Downing is solid too, but lord knows how Liverpool's rotation is going to look.Open ControlsI think people are forgetting VDV form after January... Having said that, i would much prefer him over Downing.
Open Controlswhen he's fit, he's great. i think he would have surpassed nani for pts. last season had he not joined the league late and had niggling injuries.
Open Controls
He puts numbers up RANDOMLY against all opponents. He isn't fixture proof he's just unpredictable. He was gold last season when he was £8, this year I'm not so sure.
Open Controls
Yes
Maybe, he won't score as many points but he has cheaper so it depends what you spend the money on.Open Controls

I am going to win FPLOpen Controls+1
