How do people feel about Park or Anderson from Man U?

I’ve spent heavy on my forwards this season and need some good ideas for midfield players but have a tight budget?

Looks like Park is having a great pre season and has scored 3 out of there 4 friendly games?

Worth a punt??

SS21 is the man.

I certainly don't see Aquero costing 12M!

Having Rooney , Van Persie and Bent is just plain greedy 😉

I'd be more concerned about the effect that has on the rest of your team. Moses AND Dyer...really. I'd choose between Rooney and RVP if I were you...look at Zamora or Rod and then look how much better your team would be spreading out that nice spare 5m.

Defense is fine as long Luiz starts, a few risks on unproved players.

You have a strong attack which means your midfield lacks a big points scorer.

It's a fine team but you got to hope your forward line comes through for you each week because i don't see major points coming from midfield.

0.5 mil over may as well be 5m over.

Like the look of Al-Habsi for first three games and then bring Given in. McCleish, if nothing else should bring some defensive stability to Villa so Given is a good choice. Clichy is a slight risk, but should be first choice left back, I'm sure he'll get quite a few clean sheets at City, Kompany will start and could be captain, but I dont see anything except clean sheets and bonuses coming his way, though thats good enough really. Ivanovic has looked very good in pre-season and with his ability to play anywhere across the back four, albeit left back rarely, is a very good pick. Briggs & Wilkinson just seem like filler but the other three should stay fit. Y Toure, I am unsure about, he's a good player but I'd have to see him in his first few games to be confident, worth the risk though at 8 points, could always sub out for N'zogbia if he settles well at Villa. Benayoun may well not start though as it stands he will, we (Chelsea) may buy Pastore (though I hope not) which I assume will drop Yossi to the bench, if he playes he will get points the little wizard, Barton again I'm unsure about, I like him though and so trust he'll be involved in the action so I'd stick with him, maybe not in first game as the top four always start the season well and sharp, their preparation is very good and I can see Arsenal winning, Moses is again filler, why not go for Tiote, he'll at least get game time and the odd goal. Ferguson, the same. Suarez is rumoured to be rested though I doubt it, he'll be fitter and sharper than most for the first few games so he's a great choice, Rooney is, I hate to say it, going to have a very good season this year so I would keep him all season and RVP is a tough one, the front the are very expensive, I'd consider dropping one of them for Rodallega as Wigan have the newly promoted 3 as their frist 3 games, RVP is always an injury risk and with Gervinho will now be under less pressure to get the goals. Though he is banned from Europe for the first game so should see more prem time. Overall, and in short 😉 I think its a good team. Id give some thought to O'Hara, Jarvis, Malouda, Hughes and Hangeland. Probably the biggest risk would be Arshavin, though I'd keep an eye on his form and playing time to begin with. Also, Drogba still looks a beast, yes I'm wearing blue tinted glasses but I would have him in there, especially as Torres is looking S**T and AVB isnt scared of not playing him. Jesus, you read all that?

He's vital to complete my Premiership ex-Brighton and Hove Albion 11.

Because you the only sod who's realised...

pretty generic.. but not neccesarily a 'bad' thing

Why Kompany?

most of your money is invested in cole, lampard and rooney.. and it shows in the rest of your team.

I signed up again, because I bloody love stats.

I signed up out of support to the whole site rather than the members benefits. Also impressed by people who give it a go and the FFS team are doing that. Good on them.

All the Blackburn team?

Blackburn, not keen on Everton except Baines either

Blackburn.

I hate Tim Cahill and won't have him near my team. I saw past this irrational hatred last year and finally put him in, only to get a 1pt return and subsequent injury. Hate him!

very poor team

Although Begovic and Given rotate perfectly, in the first 10 games, look at the teams Begovic will be playing at home (better to go with Al Ahabsi. Downing is a rotation risk.

Hoilett is fa too expensive for what he offers. And I think you could make the money you've put into your defense do a bit more for you. Maybe get a couple of expensive defenders and three budget options to rotate into the final space, rather than one expensive defender and three mid priced ones.

i would be a wee bit concerned not having some chelsea coverage given their nice fixtures, they had an easy start last year for the 1st 6 games and ran riot. Can i assume you still have a few £'s spare ?

Yes Sir, Thank you Sir, great team Sir.

ferguson is a great choice. good value but a bit concerned about his opening fixture

yeah, I'll see it...in my rearview mirror

couldnt agree with your sentiments more cheggers 😉

11m. Fact.

Only as bad an idea as attending a themed disco in the basement of a Mr. J. Fritzel. Hughes, Hangeland, Dempsey and Zamora are okay from Fulham and from Villa; Collins, Bent and Albrighton are okay so, actually, err, no, no its not that bad. Still dont go to that disco!

Dempsey overpriced, get Duff

johnson £4.5mil is my other MID

Hmm... you're short of a midfieler, and a cheap one at that by my reckoning.

Like your team, though. I'm going with big money up front this season. Possibly three 10mil + strikers. I don't really see the value in expensive mids and there's value to be had, like Taarabt and Sessegnon in your team, so I like the idea of loading up on RVP, Rooney and co.

Personally not convinced by VDV, but I'm sure that will come back to haunt me.

2nd week:

Given (Kenny)
Luiz Kompany Baines (Briggs) (simpson)
Silva Benayoun OHara Sess Sinclair
Bent Suarez (Zamora)

or alternatively Malouda instead of Silva, Tarabt on the bench

luiz is dodgy and terrible midfield. too many mid priced players downgrade baines to cole and spend that 1.5 mil on ur midfield now

A

I think he's a bit steep at 5mil.

That said, Wolves are a team I'm looking out for. They were a good side last season and were unfortunate not to finish higher.

You can get more for 5mil than Roger Johnson. But with him at Wolves I'd be much happier to go for the likes of de Vreis if he were to be first choice. Could be the pick of the 4.0mil goalies.

Not sure if warnock will be played at villa with the rumours of bridge moving there. Other than that the defence is fine (i believe luiz will defo play before alex)

Youve spent big on your midfield. I wouldnt personally have lampard in my team this year and probs never again with pastore possibly moving to chelsea and the 12 mil price is a bit steep. All the rest are fine.

And personally i would have two strikers over 10 mil, so either get rid of rodallega or zamora.

So not too many changes then 😉
