Today’s Members article is the third instalment focusing on player value. We turn our attentions to the top ten midfielders in our Members Projections area and analyse just why we anticipate each of them to be so budget-friendly Fantasy prospects in the upcoming 2011/12 campaign. With three of our top four are already justifying our hopes in early pre-season by finding the net in their respective clubs’ friendlies, some of the names are already blinking brightly on our radars…

          Yeah, bit before my time, but I've heard he was handy.

          Knocked out twice by Hagler, iirc? No shame in that, of course 🙂

              Nah, read Four Kings by George Kimball recently, so pretty fresh in my memory!

              Bit of a boxing fan - try to keep up to date with the domestic scene and the higher profile world title fights.

          Well, he is quality and served me well last season, but City have just bought another attacker, and Mancini's not a particularly gung-ho manager.

            Sess. is better then that list except Barton.

            He scored at the end of last season, and in this preseason, so there is some indication that he'll be worthwhile.

            Stoke have 3 tough fixtures, their easy ones are all on the road.

          We were always going to go back in for him. Cahill, Samba & Mertesacker are all too slow (amongst other things) and Wenger has an obsession with defenders who start out as midfielders.

              I'm not sure about that. He's always looked comfortable on the ball when I've seen him. Everton play a pretty direct game, so he's bound to hoof it from time to time, but he's miles better than Gary Cahill.

    Begovic or Robinson?

    Luiz or Hangeland?

    I'm not choosing Given because i would rather have James Collins than any other defender at 5.5 mil, and already have 3 Villa players.

    I'm unsure about Luiz because he may be squad rotated with Alex

    Also heres my team:

    GK - Begovic or Robinson / De Vries (hopefully be first team)

    D - Luiz or Hangeland / Kompany / Collins / Alcaraz / Wilkinson

    M - N'zogbia / Taarabt / Sessegnon / Sinclair / Ferguson (4 mil)

    S - Rooney / Van Persie / Bent

    I chose Alcaraz mainly for Wigan's easy starting fixtures.

    I know that my team is heavily dependent on my strike force, but after looking at the expensive midefielders available there is a heavy risk on most of them (maybe except VDV). Also with RVP and Roon in my team i have two players who will probably rotate being my captain depending on the fixtures.

    Please comment 🙂

      I think Chelsea's back four could well be:
      Bosingwa Ivanovic Terry Cole, at least for the first few games until Luiz and Alex are assessed, AVB hasnt played either yet because of injury and the Copa America.
      I'd go for Hangeland, seems a clumsy lanky player but Fulham are good defensively and Hangeland often gets a goal, dunno if Jol will be as defensive minded as Hughes was though.
      Al Habsi keeper? Bardsley instead of Collins?
      I'm unsure about Bent without the supply but yep it seems a good team, I'm a fan of spreading the budget a bit more and if it has to be a choice betweeb Begovic and Robinson I would have to say Begovic, I dont rate Robinson, though he gets assists from time to time.

      Like your team, though. Especially with RVP and Rooney - only comment would be that there's no City players, which would concern me a bit. Can't see where you'd jettison a player to help you get Lescott or Kompany, but i would concern me to be without at least one of the two with the start they have.

          I have the exact same problem as you but with Chelsea instead of City.

          The only way I can get round it is by loading up on City and Chelsea defender (I've gone for Luiz, Kompany and Lescott) and then having a relatively cheap midfield.

          Tricky one for sure. A marquee signing for Chelsea would be pretty helpful 🙂
