Id change a few things, for a start Britton isn't going to bring many points to your team FF wise so get him out, somebody like Noble off West Ham would be a better option! For the price of Lennon there are much better options around the 6.5 million mark, there is a whole thread dedicated to this! Even as a Liverpool fan I wouldn't have Suarez in my squad at the very start of the season! Will wait to see how his form is before even considering him! For 9.5mil Cisse would be a much better option! but you should look at maybe having 2 really strong forwards and a cheaper option Pog/Graham/Petric/Vaz Te etc.

Do you have money in the bank with this squad??

Id also look at a cheaper option for your keeper and think about strengthening your defence and your bench! Cant see Kelly or Wilson scoring too well!

I'd drop Scholes and Neville and get two 5.0 options instead. The popular ones are Noble and Maloney. Actually I'd drop Kompany for another 6.0 City defender (Clichy/Zabaleta) than you'd be able to replace Scholes and Neville for one 6.5 mid and one 5.0 mid. (My choices would be Pienaar and Maloney).

fabians94

First post on these message boards. Thought of getting some insight on my team.

How does this look?

Frederici

Clichy - Fabio - Coloccini

Bale - Cabaye - Mata - Walters

Rooney (V) - Aguero (C) - Pogrebnyak

Subs: Green - Wilson - Cuellar - Frei

Thought of upgrading pog to bent and downgrading bale to someone >7.5

1m left in the bank.

Thoughts?

What you need to do here is get the "direct link" for that image, then find the "insert image" icon in the toolbar as you make a post here. Enter direct link into the insert image box, and you're sorted!

Oh and if you want everyone to be able to critique your team, it also helps to type out the names too (not everyone can see the images from work).

Anyway...
spurskiely's team


I think you've got too many Spurs players, and there's better value than Sinclair for under 7m, IMO. Clichy may also be a rotation risk.

Walters, Pienaar, and Lescott could all improve your team, IMO. Cisse in for Ade would be a good straight swap too, probably. Also money to be saved if you went for Bent.

Thanks very much for team pic makes it a lot easier . Was thinking about Pienaar very good option at price . I'm a spurs so have to stop letting my heart rule my head . No good in this game . Will work on second draft and see how I get on . Thanks again for help .

Cheers!
No money in the bank, I tried having a strong all round team last year and it didn't work, I eventually had to cash in some midfs and defs for a striker or two, compared with 2 years ago where I had a similarly weighted team and did very well. As for Britton he's 4.5, and a guaranteed starter, so I kind of need him. Cech and Cashley will be transfered out for Clichy and Hart after the first gameweek, and Bale will be making his way into my team rapid enough. My gamble this year is on Suarez. I know his return last year was poor, but he was never partnered with a decent striker, which he has this season in Borini. I'll have a look at replacements for Lennon alright, and as for the other mentioned I just really was filling in the gaps. I'll try and take a look through those threads, thanks very much!!

Haha i'm a Liverpool fan so i feel your pain! Have been burned too many times for thinking with my heart instead of my head in this game! Not this year though;)

dahat

This team leaves me with a bank pf 5.0 million......any suggestions??

shadowcomplex

Rooneys form doesnt inspire me with confidence so ive come up with another team not sure if ill go with it though because the rooney/aguero combo is perfect for captain rotation, anyway please rate this for me, the idea here is to rotate petric against either michu or graham from week to week

carlcon

I figured I'd let this team stew in my head for a bit. No United players at all due to the uncertainty around them.

The key here is having expensive players I don't want long-term so I can easily bring in United players as we get an idea of who Fergie fancies this season.

Rafeal or Jones will come in for Cole.
Kagawa/Valenica/Young/Nani can all come in for Hazard. Or even Silva if he's as bad as people are predicting here.
Welbeck can come in for Torres if he's playing. Rooney will have to impress to make me spend 12m on him.

The one thing I'm happy with here is how Coloccini and Hengeland have alt home/away fixtures after GW3. That'll be super-handy.

I think Aguero is going to be pretty much essential, rate my latest

MikeCork2009

Pretty happy with this. 0 left in bank and can't think I have any glaring omissions. Any suggestions/comments would be much appreciated.

FatRat

I had to weaken my defence to get Graham in as the hat-trick last night has just my mind up about him. 6 million is a steal. I also think Snodgrass is gonna be good but that's probably a pre-season hunch. Here's the team:

Jimmy Iovine

Anyone considering Tony Hibbert? He scored a lovely goal tonight. It was a free from the edge of the box.

He's only 5.5. Could be a bargain. Almost offers as much going forward as Baines does. Almost.

I have him in my team, he done well for me at the end of last season, and as you say at 5.5mil he's good value!

Can I get peoples thoughts on this team please

Lemlin

fabians94 wrote: »

Good team IMO. Only worries I'd have are:

Clichy - I'd swap him out. Kolarov is still at City so its hard to know who will play left back. Mancini has also been trialling a 3-5-2 with Kolarov and Zabaleta playing.

Midfield is strong but I'd swap Mata out if it was me. Mata has had a tough euros and is only back at Chelsea after the Olympics. I'd see Hazard as an alternative if you want a Chelsea player or maybe consider Bale or Siggy. Spurs have an easy start.

The strikers would be three common for most teams and the only one I'd be worried about is Pog. That said, you are restricted by value.

Your bench is good except for Frei who I'm not sure will start.

redzerdrog

this is my 28th draft and i have 1.5 left in the bank to give room to change

Ditch Barnett, he won't be playing much for us. Go with Russell Martin or Ryan Bennett.

SpaceCowb0y

Latest squad selection!

Had to spend my last £1mil swapping Yaya for Carzola! Hopefully he's a regular starter at £9mil hes not cheap! Also i've become a bit of a sheep and swapped my keeper choice of Krul/Mignolet to De Gea/Begovic as so many other seem to have this pair!

Fairly happy with this team now, the only thing i'm still considering is Hibbert to Coloccini to free up .5mil and when i ship Torres out after GW1/2 for Cisse I'll have £1mil to play with again!

thinking of re-jigging my back line. Gona take out santon as I just dont fancy Newcastle this year and the other one i am not sure on is Jenkinson, will he be a starter? has he played in pre-season?

Sagna is nearing return so I won't touch Jenkinson for now.

I'd say your main concern in that backline is having 6.5 spent on Johnson instead of Lescott.

RB100

Do you think Zaba would be just as good as Lescott? seems like a starter now for City. He scored in pre season, attacking and he's cheaper. Just a thought.

oh and if City sign agger you can bet that Kompany won't be making way for him.

p.s I have Lescott atm.

Shane732

Been messing around with my team a bit. Which of the options below do you guys prefer?

Option 1: £0.0 in the bank



Option 2: £0.0 in the bank



I'm not particularly keen on either of them!

I wish Spurs would just go and sign a striker so I can decide whether I'm going to risk playing a Spurs striker up front at the start.

Backstreet Moyes

What do people think.

De Gea

Lescott
Shawcross
Pearce

Kagawa
Snodgrass

Rafael won't be playing straight away anyway so take him out. Staylor and Coloccini (in that order) are infinitely better than Simpson. My advice would be to try to get a City defender aka Lescott.

The 3 newbies in midfield is a huge gamble at the start - perhaps change one of them for a player with EPL experience e.g. Bale. The 3 you have could work out but it's very risky from the start.

Suarez is another risky pick up fromt, much better value out there I think but he might do well. Pog I don't like at all but he's pretty popular so I can't really say too much about him.

Sorry for only negative criticism but I'm sure you're aware of the positives of your team already

gosplan

RMT please. All suggestions welcome.

De Gea Begovic
Lescott A.Cole Shawcross Fabio McCartney
Silva Hazard Siggy Allen Ireland
Torres Bent Pog


A few questions you might be able to help me out on as well.

1: De Gea is in until I see how big United's defensive problems are. He might get swapped out for Jussi - I think he and Begovic are probably the best cheap combo on paper. De Gea to Jussi would mean changes elsewhere though because I'd have double coverage on both Stoke and Hammers defence.

2: Silva costs a lot, want some city attack though.

3: Unsure on Allen. He's cheap and going to liverpool but will he deliver goals and assists or will he just move the ball around?

4: Aware Ireland and Bent is a bit heavy on villa attacking but find it hard to come up with a better cheap mid than Ireland. Would consider Jelavic for Bent. However if Villa score goals and it is Ireland playing behind Bent, it's hard to see how they won't both do well.

5: Would consider Hazard to Lampard and Siggy to Bale for same price.

6: McCartney just ripped off from some else. Will he play??

kennyb3

Have you any money left? No rooney, aguero or Tevez strikes me.

Silva prog wont be fit for first week so i'd go Silva to Yaya and Pog to Graham.

I'd then use the €1m to get pienaar for Ireland. Or you could go bent to Cisse but i'll be waiting till post Ramadan to consider him.

Theres no way in hell i'd want 2 villa attackers.

qwabercd

Federici
Rafael Cole Clichy
Kagawa Siggy Hazard Michu
Pog Torres Aguero
Subs: Begovic, frei, mccartney, clark

What do ye make of that? Will try and get out pog (for graham) and either torres or hazard for GW3. Probably taking a few too many risks at midfield with all 4 starters at new clubs this season, so will likely change again before GW1 begins!

Jax Teller

Jaaskelainen
Fabio Kaboul Lescott Shawcross
Hazard Cazorla Kagawa
Pog Torres Aguero

Thanks a million for the response.

As with most, I'd plan Rooney/Ageuro in for Torres fairly quickly.

Didn't know that about Silva - yaya's in. Is it worth keeping Pog for the double and then looking to switch.

Maybe Silva to yaya and ireland to Nolan or some other decent 6 or 6.5 mid???

gosplan

OK, second attempt. Feedback please.

Was trying to stick to a plan of 2 top defenders, 3 top mids and 2 top strikers that was posted here a few days ago (think it was carlcon) but finding it hard to afford this. Is this only feasible after making some $$$?

Anyway....

Jussi Begovic

Lescott Terry Shawx Fabio Demel
Allen Nolan Mata YaYa Pieenar
Ageuro Torres Graham

2.0 left in the bank to upgrade Torres to Rooney or fix any other mistakes that become apparant after GW1.

The issues:

I've doubled up on Stoke and West Ham defence but i think they, along with QPR, will be the decent cheap punts for home CS's. Might do Shawx to Newc defender though.

Is Graham that much better an option than Pog?? I usually try to stay away from new players until you can see how they settle in the league. In Swansea's case, they've a new manager so that worries me hugely about the whole team.

I took out the bale/siggy option because i feel Spurs might bomb without a striker. That allowed me to upgrade from bent to ageuro.

All feedback welcome. Family means I can't do the same pre-season research I have in previous years - just need someone enlightened to guide me towards a good starting team so i can put it to bed for another fortnight.

Many thanks

This might be crap advice but from reading a lot on it today, here goes.


I'd have doubts about Ramsey and Maloney on the first one. Ramsey could see limited game time and even if he plays all the time, would need to reverse last years trend to come up with your goals and assists. Better midfielders out there for the same price I reckon.

Cisse could be awesome but Newcastle have tough fixtures early on. Obviously if he's banging them in from the right touchline like last year, that won't matter, but I prefer Ageuro here.

Also I'd worry about Hazard and Kagawa and VDV in the same team in number 2. Maybe Mata and Bale better than Hazard and VDV. You'd imagine they're both nailed on and even if you do want to change back, it's not the worst thing in the world to have to wait a couple of weeks. However if VDV starts game one on the bench (and even if he doesn't he'll be subbed after 60 mins) and Hazard is gradually brought in or has little influence you're going to be forced into big early changes or even a wildcard. Also I'm avoiding KAgawa cause I've no idea what the hell fergie is doing with his formation or players - could be good though.

Lastly, will Clichy defo play every game??

I have Bale and Hazard in my team I was just messing around with different combinations last night. Hazard is a nailed on started no questions, far more so than Mata who had the Euro and the Olympics. I think Mata will be rested a fair bit at the start of the season.

I'm messing around with forwards at the moment as I have Tevez in my actual team and I'm not sure how much game time he's going to get.

I agree with you re Kagawa - I'm beginning to bottle it with him for the start of the season.

I don't agree with the point about Ramsey at all. Personally I think he'll get far more game time this year. Furthermore, people are mentioning Song as being an assist machine this season (albeit for Barca!) yet Ramsey had only 25 points less than him last year with very restricted game time.

I tried to build a team for after the initial "have as many Chelsea players as possible" opening phase.

I can see myself with a team like this a month into the game. Easily made without wasting a wildcard so early in the season, like so many people do.

11.5 in the bank and a blank striker spot so I can pick whatever striker is on form. Adjustments can be made if Roo of RVP are looking like must-haves.



Basic formation:

de Gea

Vidic / Lescott / Coloccini (or Hangeland depending on fixtures)

Bale / Pienaar / Larsson / Noble (or Allen)

Aguero / Graham / Money in the bank for anyone on form

Bench: Federici / Hangeland (or Col) / Allen (or Noble) / Clyne

That's unlike your normal teams. 2 expensive defenders, also a £6.0m goalkeeper and only one "top" midfielder.

Its not a bad team but your midfield is relying on the lower level midfielders to produce results.

I know a lot of people are talking Pienaar up at the moment - he's only topped 100 points twice while in the premier league. The fate of Everton going forward will be decided by Jelavic - if he's on form then the lads behind will have plenty of assists.

I think Allen will be a good buy.

Why Vidic over what other cheaper Man Utd defender starts regularly?
