Getting closer i feel:
Cheaped out on defense but 4 regular starters and hopefully a 4.0 starter will emerge to make that 5
Front line taking a massive amount of my budget but worth it i think especially with the ability to rotate captaincy between Ibra-Aguero, as well as not having to worry about captaining Lukaku :P (but still benefiting from his points).
edit: Feghouli and Redmond to rotate in midfield as S'hampton and West Ham rotate so beautifully (hopefully Feghouli is a starter, if not, hello Kouyate :P). Happy with Alli, Firmino and Ayew as my 3 regular playing mids.0 -

Very early draft. Have doubts about Terry and Townsend. Although I do think Townsend might do well under pardew.0 -

Wouldn't double up with Stoke at the back. Maybe swap Pieters for Neil Taylor who is good value at 4.5m. I would prefer Eriksen to Alli now that they are the same price. The rest of the midfield is pretty good with decent differentials.
I favour the 4.5 bench fodder mid to start off with to save myself selection headaches but if you've got a rotation plan in place for your fourth and fifth mids then fair enough.
Very strong forward line but of course there are always doubts about Lukaku's consistency and whether he'll have a good start after a mediocre Euros.
EDIT: That's odd. Was on the phone when I posted that and could see your team pic but am now on a PC and can't see your pic.0 -

Pieters is a bit of a card magnet and doesn't offer much of an attacking threat. I would go for George Friend instead.
McManaman is likely to be a non-starter. Capoue looks to be the early contender for the cheap bench fodder midfield option.
If Terry starts (I think he will) he is great value and is an attacking threat from corners. Not sure Özil will start gameweek 1 after his exploits at the Euros. Townsend is a good pick, have him in my latest draft. I would also prefer Mkhitaryan to Martial.0 -

Redmond is probably the best of the 6m midfielders. If Arnautovic is leaving, Bojan should get lots of gametime but he's quite injury prone. Liverpool have a tough start, I'd prefer Eriksen to Firmino. Good team though considering you've opted for the Kun and Ibra approach.0 -

First proper draught with a little thought put into it
I feel it's quite balanced although normally i would start with a stronger top 3, Last year didn't go to plan though so I'm willing to try something different to begin this season.
De Gea will start nearly every week
Defence is a mix bag but i've tried to keep a few old reliables along with a couple of new cheapies in to keep costs down. Terry if he starts could be a great shout but it remains to be seen if he will under Conte.
Midfield is my strong point here. it was a toss up between having KDB in and Costa + another 9mil+ up front or Aguero and Fab. Had to go with Aguero to begin with.
Aguero, Long and Gray - really not sure how i feel about this.... really not sure.
Thoughts please.0 -

Butland Jakupovic
Browning Friend Gabriel Williams Kone
Arnie Ayew Coutinho Spacecraft Fabregas
Zlatan Aguero Negredo
- Happy with my keepers, assuming Butland is back to full fitness at this stage
- Defence: had Bellerin in previous drafts but Mertsacker being out make Gabriel an obvious choice, allowed for the upgrade from Robertson to Williams. Monitoring Terry & PVA but probably not too much more tinkering to be done here.
- Midfield: Arnie in last night assuming the move to Everton goes through, if not, I might plump for Barkley who seems to be in decent preseason form. Ayew vs. Siggy and Coutinho vs. Firmino are marginal calls
- Forwards: Zlatan fear is the driving force here….had a few drafts without him but can see him going on an early season rampage. The only question here (and it seems to be a common one) is going to be Negredo vs. Grey. Negredo is in for the minute but it’s very marginal.
I believe Negredo was fairly poor last year. Certainly, Graham Hunter on the radio wasn't impressed by him. I think Ayew is too streaky to start with (Siggy less so), I regard Coutinho as an FPL troll, and I think Arnie will score less at Everton than Stoke. But otherwise, cool.SpaceCowb0y wrote: »First proper draught with a little thought put into it

Why get Foster if you're going to start DDG every week? And Foster might well give you a headache in selection every week as well.
Nice defence, very good midfield, and a good attack IF Long is nailed. On the bench, I fear for Hull now, so I'd change Robertson.
Overall though, I quite like this team.0 -
