Back to 3-4-3 and liking the look of this.
Had Mertesacker but decided to spend the extra million upgrading two 4.5s to Janmaat and Sakho. Sakho would probably be benched for Pool's tough away games. Or would I be better off going back to the two 4.5s and using the extra million to do Bolasie to Siggy or just keeping that million in reserve to allow some flexibility?
Thoughts appreciated

Strong team.
I prefer Milner to Henderson but there's very little in it.
No Hazard would worry me but at least Costa gives you solid Chelsea coverage.
If you do go with Sahko I would suggest replacing one of your 4.5m defenders with a Norwich defender as Liverpool/Norwich rotate very well.0 -

Surprisingly expensive for your tastes!
I'm looking at one 5.5 (currently Shaw) and Sakho/Francis, Matthews/Saylor (or Colo)
The early noises from McCLaren and S Taylor suggest he has a decent chance of playing. They signed a 20 year old def today so hardly a starter.0 -

It's down to the fact that I won't be starting with aguero sanchez and more than likely hazard so there is a lot of money floating about.0 -

A little defensively unsound since Swansea & West Brom have tough opening fixtures. Why not upgrade one of them to a 5.5? United have decent opening fixtures IMO, could go with that route. Other than that looks solid.farranreeboy wrote: »Thought's
Fabianski
Lescott
Janmaat
Williams
Walcott
Fabregas
Sterling
Bolasie
Rooney
Kane
Benteke
Subs: Schmeichel, Bentaleb, Richards, Mings
Mine:
Going defensively heavy at the start like I usually do until I see which teams are gonna do well.
Pantilimon in goals. Unbelievably easy opening fixtures, with a defensive manager and if he's anything like last season should finish in the top 3 points-wise keepers in the end.
Rooney captain choice for me as any team that doesn't sit deep against United usually ends in plenty of goals, and since Rooney is the main man up front, no way I'm taking it off him.
Gonna rotate Ighalo/Sakho with the defence for the next couple of gameweeks after.
Aguero is a cert to go in when he's fully fit (probably after the Everton game), and I'll downgrade some of the defence when that happens replacing Sakho.
What you guys think?0 -

Thoughts?
2.0m itb to do Costa->Aguero. Had toyed with Walcott but fear he'll find himself on the bench GW2 or 3, Ozil was very impressive in the last friendly game. Decent spread in defense would like to have a Man U defender but hard to know starting off which of their 5.5 defenders will start0 -

This is currently where I'm at.
I'm more than happy to play Pulisball in goal. Hopefully Hennessy makes the move soon. There could be an argument to go with keepers with the best fixtures early on as I'll be playing the WC at some point. Pulisball is as likely to strike against City and Chelsea as anyone else though.
Cheaping out on my defence is something I'm very happy to do. Uncertainty and European fixtures in the first half of the season make the more expensive options less attractive along with my own anecdotal thoughts about the big teams not being as tight at the start. I like the look of Soares but Saints' European expedition may see me reevaluate. Not settled on the personnel of the other 4 but I'll certainly have a Norwich and Sunderland defender. Huth is most in danger.
Midfield is where I'm mostly in a pickle. I stated early on that I may forego Hazard for the first few weeks. This is coupled with my thinking that Costa will outscore him at the start, as he'll be nice and fresh while Hazard has been kind of slow to start seasons. One of Theo or Ramsey will be in my team depending on how Arsenal look like lining up. I think Depay has to be in my team at the moment, although this ties in with Rooney too. I'll have 1 United player to start with but no more as the Champions League qualifiers will be on at the start and despite being a United fan I couldn't possibly second guess LVG. Also I'm likely to change my mind about Johnson or Redmond being 0.5 too expensive. As I've bizarrely somehow become fond of Norwich through this game I think my 4th mid spot will be a Canary. The fixtures and their potential make that decision the right one. Anya is still just placeholding and I haven't thought about the 4.5 mid options for a while.
I'm set on Costa to begin with until something suggests otherwise (I'm open to being swayed here too). Then it's probably Rooney/Aguero depending on what I do with regards to Hazard/8.5 mid choice. Obviously if Sergio is fit to begin with he's in. It's Benteke or Lukaku for the 3rd spot right now. I'd love J-Rod but reading between the lines Koeman will probably ease him back in when it comes to competitive games. Plus Europa League. I'd rather a 3rd capable forward than boosting a defender at this moment in time. Easier to sacrifice for a cheap inform forward too if I need cash for midfield or somewhere.
I'm concerned it's a bit template looking in patches though, or well the FSA template anyway :pac: I've completely disregarded Kane from my thoughts (not deliberately it's just happened) but the 2nd most chosen forward thus far, coupled with potentially being Hazardless too I guess it could be more my style than I think.0 -

He's a Portuguese rb brought in to replace Clyne. Meant to be quite good going forwards and just have a Mr.P type feeling about him. If Matty Targett doesn't look like starting obviously
He's fierce expensive for a Sunderland defender but we'll see. I'll definitely be having one of them and Matthews is quite attacking himself down the right, if he plays.
PVA is the closest thing we've seen to the new Mickey T though it must be said.0 -

If S'hampton start off like last season you could be on to a winner. S'lands fixtures starting off are pretty tasty too. Josh for me as i don't have the extra 0.5 for PVA Our teams are very different looking! But do you know i like that it makes it all the more interesting and i think this season we'll see that alot more there are tonnes of genuinely good options especially in midfield and defense 0 -

GK:
Schmeichel: Leicester have relatively decent fixtures until GW13 when it gets tough for them.
Darlow: least selected 4million keeper.
DEF:
Ivanovich - self explanatory.
PvA - Forum favourite, I like him too.
Morgan - as Schmeichel, not bad fixtures(have yet to decide if I want to double up though).
Yoshida: - Until Saints sign a new defender, injuries probably means game time for him.
Cameron - few tricky fixtures at start, then eases for a while.
MID:
Hazard - self explanatory.
Henderson - expect him to step out of Gerrards shadow.
Walcott - if he plays - woohoo...but...
Chadli - Decent fixtures.
Barry - reliable, despite tricky fixtures for Everton(cheap as chips).
FOR:
Rooney - looking like he'll be the main man up front for Utd - no-brainer if so.
Costa - Quality if tempramental striker.
Wilson - Will only play him against "soft" opposition.
Opinions welcome.0 -
Going with this and going to leave any,tinkering until the day before the deadline. Pretty happy with this team.
Kane or Rooney to Aguero in gw4, with Walcott probably being the one downgraded (unless he keeps his place)
Rotating keepers offer good fixtures.
Azpi(6.0) and Shaw(5.5) are good value imo, and I'd be happy to start both every week.
Huth and O'Shea (O'shea nailed?) give a decent rotation with Saylor aa bench fodder.
Still unsure about Mane as he burnt me last season but their fixtures are too good to ignore.0 -
Nice team. Lethal attack. As for your defence, would you not put in a Sunderland defender for 4.5 and replace someone like Martin? Sunderland keep plenty of clean sheets with very easy opening fixtures and Norwich is a bit of an unknown at this point.Mr.Prodston wrote: »This is currently where I'm at.
@Fingers - thanks for the advice on the 4.0 keeper. Darlow in he goes! What will be your starting line-up for GW1? Solid team, can't really see any faults. 0 -

Made few more changes to my team and, no matter what I do, I can't fit any City player in there. The worst part is that, apart from Silva, there isn't anyone worth bringing in right now. See most teams go without City coverage.
I guesss that uncertainty over their starting defenders is the main reason.
GW1 team, which will be changed 20 times before the start of the season anyway.
Don't want to risk it too much, so mostly experienced players with good chance of playing and scoring.
United, Arsenal and Chelsea defence is a must, so this will stay as is. Will watch the new teams to see who is worth bringing in later to get some cash ready when Aguero returns.
Cabaye is a risk, but it is a quality player and coming into Crystal Palace team I am sure he will be guaranteed to play.
Not set on the front yet. Waiting for this season transfers to be completed before making my mind. Just wanted to see good names up there to start with.
Let me know if i missed something obvious like Lukaku going to China or things like that:D Only started setting my team recently and didn't pay much attention to transfer news etc.0 -

Is this all based on his hat trick at the end of last season? Don't get me wrong over the past few years when he has been fit i've nearly always tried to fit him into my team as he has been FF gold but With Sanchez, Cazorla, Ramsey et al doing the business without him last season I don't seem to be as confident of him starting every game as some others in here?
I have him in because he should get game time with no Sanchez.
I'll probably wildcard around the international break, so will see how the land lies.0 -
