Our next Members article looking at the idea of “value” sees Forwards come under the microscope. With a fresh revision of players last weekend in light of factors such as transfers and pre-season tactics, we’ve tweaked the Projected totals to give you an up-to-date reflection on our thinking. While many of our top ten value forwards are lower-priced options that perhaps may be more suited to rotation, the kind opening prices afforded to the likes of Luis Suarez and Peter Odemwingie propels a couple of FPL big-hitters firmly into our thoughts.
FFS's Team of the Season would cost an eye-watering £121M to buy this season, and that's not including the second keeper you would have to buy for a full squad :O
Don't think anyone is touching Coleman now as he's a midfielder, and Foster and Adam are far less attractive at their respective new clubs. Nani and Malouda have become rotation risks. Tevez is likely to be off. VDV seems to get injured if someone even just looks at him funny.
Looks like the defenders and strikers, RVP and Odem, are the most attractive selections from 10/11 TOTS.Open ControlsHi please can you offer any constructive criticism or advice on my team:
Given , Ruddy
Cole, Kompany, Warnock, Orr, Simpson
VDV, NZogbia, Taarabt, Moses, Sinclair
Rooney, RVP, Holt
My only possible edit at the moment is to swap Warnock.
Although im not keen on Hughes as he doesnt score/assist and new manager Jol is very attacking.
Other option is Enrique if he moves, or Oshea
But i think Aston Villa have much more chance of keeping clean sheets in first 5 games than Sunderland.
Thoughts appreciated
CheersOpen ControlsNo liverpool cover? Chelsea players(other than Cole) for gw 2 & 3?
Open Controls
Why do so many people have Orr in their team? Is there something which make him particularly better than other cheap defenders?
Open ControlsQPR had a very good defensive record in winning the Championship last season. Orr is a starter for them and comes up with a goal or two, so he's a decent shout at his price.
Open Controlswill steven taylor play every game? he seems to get a lot of goals for a 4.5 defender when he is fit ,will he be rotated though?
Open Controls
which one?
A Cole, Holt, Carrol
or
Steven Taylor or another 4.5 defender, Rooney, Rodallega
cheers 🙂Open ControlsYou are becoming the new Jinsiwck - continually asking slight variations on the same question regardless off the response you receive.

would you rather have drogbe or malouda its a tough one trying to pick a couple of good chelski players currently have bosingwa i think he will start more as he will fit boas attacking style? any thoughts
Open Controlsi dont know if you watch chelsea but bosingwa just isnt good enough, as a chelsea fan i hope ivanovic plays there every week but i have a feeling villas boas might do a bit of rotating at right back
Open Controls
Tempted by Gervinho! Any Gunners (or other) fans who knows anything about him?
Open ControlsHas been great in pre-season for the Gooners!!!
I thinks he's a bargain at 9.0 million!!!Open ControlsWill he be a definite starter when the campaign starts? Everybody gets a run-out in preseason. Might upgrade Zamora to Gerv.
Open Controls
Is this a good team and how could I improve it???
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Kompany Skrtel Hughes (Gibbs) (Simpson)

Van Persie Bent RodallegaOpen ControlsAnyone play the telegraph fantasy football? Going to give it a try this season I think so any tips are appreciated such as best formation. Looking at 3-5-2 at the moment. As tempted as I am to play the premier league ff, it took up way too much of my life last season, lol.
Open Controlsits good but gets boring, i prefer this one because it keeps you involved where as telegraph you cant make changes every week or you'll run out of transfers
Open Controls
RVP or Torres? I have got Van persie in my team at the mo but then i seen the fixtures they both start off with
Torres first three fixtures are - Stoke (A), West Brom (H) and Norwich (H)
Compared with Van Perise who's fixtures are - Newcastle (A), Liverpool (H) and Man Utd (A).
Also, Anyone who has Barton, Who have you replaced him with or are you keeping him till his future is sorted?Open Controls(Given + Hughes) vs (Schwarzer + Collins) Just some thoughts.
Looking at the RMTs, most people wanting a Villa and Fulham player in defence have Given and Hughes. Schwarzer + Collins is 0.5 more expensive but Collins adds much more of a goal threat than Hughes. I expect Schwarzer and Given to score roughly the same over the season.
Also, Collins is 5.5m and so could be swapped for a number of other solid defenders when the time came (Jags, Rafael, etc). I can't see many other players at 5.0 (Hughes's price) I'd want (unless Enrique moves) so, unless I had cash in the bank, switching Hughes could be tricky. It just looks better for future flexibility to have a 5.5 rather than a 5.0.
Is noone worried that villa might not have their defence sorted out by the start of the season? They really aren't a very solid team, particularly in CM.Open Controlsyeah aston villas midfeild is looking poor so the defence and given which is made up of very good players will be under constand pressure if they cant dominate the midfeild battle, saying that ive still got bent and warnock in my team ,but bent will get you goals and lots of them
Open ControlsI have opted for Given over a villa defender for that very reason! Villas defence is shakey at best.
Open ControlsYep - I'm steering cleer of villa players for now. Just lost their 2 best players and have a new manager so who knows how they'll get on.
Given for the price is a good pick but I don't think theres anything hugely wrong with going for Robbo/Schwarzer instead. I expect similar returns.Open Controls
hmm, I think I might have another bash at using some kind of beer in my pizza dough. I've done it before but I really can't remember how it ended up.
Open Controls😀
How's it going Soop? Hope things are "ok ish"?Open ControlsYeah, they are. She was off yesterday and texting me about shoes she'd seen online.
And amazing news, my super-hot best friend is coming down on Saturday, so I'll have a lot of female attention 😀Open ControlsNiiice. So any change of a threesome this weekend?
😉
No seriously, any chance of patching things up with Donna?Open ControlsI asked her the same thing and she said "don't start that now, you haven't had long enough to miss me yet".
I actually feel I understand women pretty well, but that confused me a bit.Open ControlsYou are obviously not sufficiently repentant. Sack cloth and ashes and self flagellation are the only way.
Stop being so chipper when you talk to her, she needs to know you're suffering. 😛Open ControlsDid you ask her for a threesome? You bugger!
hehe, nah, just let have her space. It sounds good.Open Controls
In fact, she texted me 9 times yesterday. Maybe the old sausage is beginning to miss me?
Open ControlsGood, hows your team coming along?
What you think BZ or Holt? BZ has never been good to me when I had him, so Im reluctant.Open ControlsI have them both actually. Holt is not particularly attractive to me, but basically, I could have almost every player I wanted if I dropped Rooney for Holt.
I've gone for a strong defence, and I've tried to follow what I should have done a few seasons back, getting some strong players, but getting some good prospects from promoted teams, hoping the price rises.
I've noticed that promoted teams tend to do far better earlier in the season, so let's hope that trend continues - once I get about 106-108m, I can then patch up the weaker parts of my team.Open Controls
Is this a good team and how could I improve it?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I cant help thinking that a very decent defence will be a good strategy to start off with given villas/ che/ liv's and city starting fixtures. I think there is more value in defence than in mids this year. Also with the big gun forwards having hard starts what do you think of this?
Given, Ruddy
Baines, Luiz, Kompany, Enrique, Warnock
Lamps, Taarabt, Sinclair, Moses, Tchoyi
Bent, Zamora, HoltOpen ControlsHonestly the forward line is too weak imo. One of Rooney or RVP, if not both, should be in there. Lack of obvious captain picks too.
Not sure why Lamps would even get a look from anyone at this point either. Defence isn't bad but upgrade to strikers with some Lamps money.
Fit and on form Rooney/RVP will be scoring points for funOpen ControlsI plan on having vp from gw3
Open Controls
ive used that theory also that i expect 3 strikers to dominate this year so here we go :
Schwarzer
Baines Kompany A.cole Warnock
Ohara Taarbat Moses
Van persie Rooney Bent
Subs Ruddy,Briggs, Dyer got 0.5 left in the bank might change schwarzer for howard or warnock for distan as everton have a nice start to the season , give us your opinion and advice pleaseOpen Controlshugely imbalanced team
Open ControlsThat's the point though. If you have the money tied up in your strikers and defence then just play less midfields - I certainly think the midfield options aren't as good this year - not yet at least. No doubt some people will emerge as good picks but I can't see anyone standing out in the mid-upper price ranges...
Open ControlsHow do Shogun, how was Thailand?
Open ControlsThailand was great. Seems like so long ago now though! Still away mind, we're in Japan now which is amazing, but very expensive. Mostly amazing though. Finally get home 2 weeks today - really looking forward to it now, and the new season of course!

Al Habsi (Hennessey or De Vries) @8.5-9m

Vdv, Nzogbia, Taarabt, Sinclair, Moses @35mil
Rvp, Rooney, Holt @29.5mil
.5 in bank(1.0 if De Vries), vdv->malouda GW2
Keepers: B+, great rotation to start season, good value at price.
Defenders: A+, refer to Fullproof Fuzzy Fantastic.
Midfielders: B-, weakest link but all are centerpieces of their respective attacks
Forwards: A, two fixture-proof top club big dogs and a potential bargain goal scorer, all on pensOpen Controlsnot bothered with liverpool? any particular reason? looks great
Open Controlscant win em all. i may go one of carroll or suarez at some point, having 2 12.0 forwards makes a downgrade easy, just pick the weaker link of the two to drop. plus pools early run of fixtures and abundance of scoring options makes it a an easier pill to swallow.

what do you think, im really torn!Open ControlsDefence is too weak. Malouda probably isn't worth 10.5m with the high chances of rotation, so downgrade him and upgrade a defender or two.
Open ControlsLooks great. Maybe downgrade Rodallega to Holt and upgrade Simpson. At least your team will be more like the rest of us.
