IMHO

Fulham bad for first few games.

Neville not good at all. He's a midfielder this year so only 1 point for a clean sheet and he get's very few goals or assists.

Arshavin great for the season but bad till after gameweek 4.

Drogba probably better than Torres for first few games.

C.Cole Ebanks-Blake

Subs:Larsson,Carsley,Murphy

Tech3

Anyone think Owen would be a good option? He has been scoring in pre season not sure if he is likely to start the first few games?

He looks like a big gamble to me anyway.

wexican

Given
Zhirkov / Toure / Bramble
Arshavin / Cahill / Fellaini / Muamba
Tevez / Doyle / Torres

Bench: Sorensen / Hughes / Ferdinand / Sidwell

Firrst time playing in the boards.ie league.

Morzadec

Bent is looking like he's on his way to Sunderland. At 7.0 he could be an excellent mid-range value striking option...

vincenzo1975

not sure if this was mentioned before, but in the interests of fair play and getting off to a good start...
CHECK OUT GAMEWEEK 2 FIXTURES.....HINTHINT.

I think it's a good team and I like it, but you have a short-term problem with your midfielders - several of them won't feature in week 2. Arsenal and Man City won't play so that rules out 3 of your midfielders (Arshavin, Barry, Ireland) and Everton and Villa won't play in week 2 either so neither Arteta or Young will feature. That would just leave you with Modric. I had a similar midifeld to yourself and have had to rethink things. It's a pain in the arse!

Long-term, of the dilemmas you're facing I'd personally go with Lescott over Zhirkov to begin with since Zhirkov is an unknown quantity whereas Lescott has scored consistently well the last 3 seasons.

With regards Young vs Arteta, I think Villa's first 10 games are tricky. They play Liverpool, Man City and Chelsea in the first 10 games. Everton start off with a tough game against Arsenal but from week 3 onwards their fixtures are very nice. Having Arteta then would be preferable in my opinion.

As for Davies or Cole I'd say they'd both be decent buys. I myself would likely avoid them in favour of Darren Bent though, assuming the Sunderland deal goes through. Bent is likely to feature a lot for Bruce and he's not a hothead like the other two who have been known to pick up plenty of cards.

veXual

Here's mine opinions welcome:

Given

Hangeland O'Shea Warnock

Ireland Kuyt Modric Essien

Torres Keane Crouch

I'm quite happy with this though Keane and crouch up front may be subject to change as they more than likely won't start together.

The reason I didnt go for bent is because Im not sure he will play all the time with jones being there, do you think he will play them together?

1: Given

2: Baines

3: Hangeland

4: Brown

5: Evra



6: Lampard
(C)

7: Barry

8: Arshavin

9: Neville

10: Mikel


11: Torres

I reckon Mikel will feature heavily for Anchelotti this season,for 5 he is a steal.
Previous years I relied on a 3 man strike partnership but Im drawn to playing Torres on his own this year.
Will probably tweak it before the season starts though.

Mushy

Only remembered now that this would be back. Hopefully I don't lose interest after 2 weeks. Are ya allowed enter into more than 1 league?

Eire-Dearg

Back Page Football did an in depht look at your goalkeeping and defensive option....


http://backpagefootball.com/columnists/fantasy/who-to-pick-issue-1/


Might be able if you're having a selection headache.

Lex Luthor

Need some advice...

Picked almost all my team but I have 9.5m to spend on a Defender & Midfielder.

Any ideas? The midfielder needs to be either a penalty/free kick or corner taker...considering Noble.

Defender obviously has to be as good as what left over money can buy....

speedboatchase

Will probably do my wildcard in Week 3 at this rate but here's my squad for the first two weeks:

Given

Faye Ab (will swap for Fig week 2)
Zhirkov
Evra
Carragher

Gerrard
Lampard
Modric

Bent (if he moves to Sunderland)
Beattie
Ebanks-Blake

Subs - Hart, Figueroa, Larsson, Muamba

Noble is a great player, definately worth 6.0 - but best of luck getting a defender for 3.5

I like it a lot. Not many people seem to be going for Modric which is surprising.

Larsson takes the set pieces for Birmingham and is 5.0 and you can pick up Faye Ab (playing Burnley first game) for 4.5

Your entire midfield isn't playing Week 2, also I think Hull will be very poor this year so I'd get rid of Turner

Liverpool are, home to Stoke I think, he's got Kuyt in there.

speedboatchase

True, my mistake. It's a good side on paper, albeit a bit unbalanced (needs at least 1 top four defender in there), but GW2 is going to be a killer for a lot of teams so it'd be better if the side was designed around it now rather than later

Mmcd wrote: »

I would,we're doing one at work.Would you limit it to 20 teams,so each team plays each other twice over the season,home & away or what have you in mind?

I'd agree with that. However there's a few players that you gotta look at getting and keeping before they start to increase in value. My keeper and 4 outfielders aren't playing GW2 so with the keeper+3 on my bench and 1 transfer that week it should be fine. Looking at my team as is I have 13 different clubs represented! Bad idea?

Looks very good but for the reasons mentioned above I'd ditch Sorensen due to the fact Liverpool will almost certainly drub Stoke in week 2 which would leave you screwed.

OK here is my GW4 onwards team.
