no urge to pick terry given his age and price etc

aguero on fire is a sure thing for captain

once he is fit

only problem has always been his price and you need to basically shoehorn the team around someone so dear

I'm fine with having Aguero. When he inevitably gets an injury you sell him and AN Other and can get two big money / in form replacements.

Courtois
Foster

Stones
Azipilicueta
Van Dijk
Evans
Tarkowski

Firmino
Mahrez

Allen
Dier

Agüero
Origi
Negredo

Firmini
Mahrez

Agüero

Quite similar to mine so I have to say looks decent!

Courtois
Nordtfelt

Azipilicueta
Van Dijk
Bellerin
Macauley
Brad Smith

Mané
Tadic
Eriksen
Imbula
Ayew

Aguero
Origi
Long

343 first up,  first ones names are in the starting line up.

[paulrazor]

Allen is a no no

wont get many assists or goals but will get more bookings. look for someone more attacking and in a similar price range

I'd take out Allen and Dier who won't score many points at all and swap with Capoue (£4.5m bench fodder) and one of the many decent attacking £5.5m mids on offer.

Could try Fischer or Ramirez at Boro?

Also, no need for Foster if you have Courtois.

Could go:
Foster -> Jakupovic
Allen -> Redmond
Dier -> Capoue

[Barneylfc∗]

Why are none of you fuckers signing up for the prediction leagues? (Apologies to the ones that have, yous aren't fuckers)

[Mingles]

Suicide going without Aguero IMO.

Will sit back with a cigar and watch everyone take a -12 to get him in after his next 5 goal haul.

[XabiArt]

And the winners are.....


Mandanda

Stones Terry Bailly

Sterling Hazard Firmino Pogba

Musa Ibrahimovic Batshuayi


Bench, Pope GK - Brad Smith - Parades - Hojbjerg


Thoughts?

[outlaw_nas]

de Gea
Boruc

Smalling
Stones
Walker
Paredes
Amat


Özil
Mané
Firmino
Ibe
Downing


Vardy
Kane
Gray

pretty solid team, though im not sure if Batshuayi would start over Costa,

[XabiArt]

Conte will play 2 upfront apparently (I hope)

[Gerry Attrick]

Kane and Ibrahimovic or Aguero and Lukaku?

[KERRYKOP]

I'd like to see the sides who managed to shoehorn in Aguero. In form and Sunderland at home as the opener, surely we're talking goals.

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

I have Origi for now but he's probably going out when Benteke moves to Palace

Courtois/Pickford

Valencia(or shaw)/Nsue(or Friend)/Smith/Funes Mori(or Williams/Stones

Lamela/Feghouli/Mahrez/Hazard/Deulofeu

Aguero/Origi/Gray

also have some money in the bank with that team

[LallanaInPyjamas]

8.5m for Pogba seems quite reasonable. He's the most expensive midfielder on the Sky one.

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

Playimg for the best team in Italy by a margin, against some of the shire series a sides, he got 28 league goals. Though, he was there from a young age.

Good player but most of his quiry doesn't show up in points

Yeah I won't be having him personally as I've got Ibrahimovic. Just think it's reasonable value, he should get close to 10 goals & assists.

Stones is only 5m as well.

[Butcher Knife Roberto]

GK - Heaton, Myhill
Defenders - Bellerin, Fonte, Morgan, Alderweireld, Dawson
Mids - Mane, Ayew, Noble, Coutinho, Dier
Forwards - Deeney, Kane, Origi

[Crosby Nick]

Posted mine earlier chief.

[Gerry Attrick]

De Gea- Hennessey

Smith- Stones- Pieters- Moreno- Robertson

Hazard- Firmino- Ayew- Lamela- Ibe

Aguero- Wilson- Lukaku

More changes to follow in all likelihood

[J_Kopite]

No

DDG, Jakupovic (sp)

alderweireld, paredas, daniels, robertson, van aanholt

sigurdsson ayew feghouli eriksen king

gray kane aguero

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

So I think I've settled on the following:

Goalkeepers - Courtois, Hart
Defenders - Clichy, Morgan, Simpson, Van Dijk, Dann
Midfielders - Coutinho, Hazard, Ramirez, Barkley, Ibe
Forwards - Aguero, Long, Gray

Very much geared towards week 1. Bench boost will be used and then the wildcard will probably be played ahead of week two.

Changed it from yesterday little bit. 3-5-2 formation

GK: Courtois (Pope)

Defense: Morgan, Valencia, Stones (Pieters, Paredes)

Mid: Sigurdsson, Tadic, Firmino, Hazard, Lamela

Attack: Aguero, Long (Gray)

Just wish Mane was a bit cheaper than 9mn. Right now I can only swap out Hazard if I want to bring Mane in.

[Caston]

Currently got this, not too sure about it though.

[Barneylfc∗]

What is the average cost of people's defence then

[Upinsmoke]

Gone for this for now:

De Gea
Foster

Chambers
Terry
Stones
Baines
Pieters

Hazard
Ayew
Mane
Redmond
Leko

Aguero
Origi
Benteke

Thoughts?

Your front line looks good if all pans out, but aguero is injury prone, will Origi play enough? And what if Benteke stays haha

But it could work out great too

[paulrazor]

by the same token sturridge is injury prone so origi might play more

[dnkw]

What is the average cost of people's defence then

Mine's 5m avg for back three, other two very cheap!

[paulrazor]

2 cheap

robertson is cheap and will play for hull so can go 4 at the back

daniels, alderweireld and van aahnholt were handy points scorers last year. Parades is just a back up. no need to have 5 top defenders, same as no point in having 2 great keepers

similar approach to midfield as defence. unless you want to play 5 in the middle and two up top

[The G in Gerrard]

Not much faith in Costa?

[JRC_]

Not much faith in Costa?

He's my front man, along with Musa and Lukaku

[paulrazor]

He's my front man, along with Musa and Lukaku

is Lukaku injured?

thought i saw that on twitter?

[dnkw]

is Lukaku injured?

thought i saw that on twitter?

Koeman said he and Coleman are doubtful.

[JRC_]

is Lukaku injured?

thought i saw that on twitter?

Says on the fantasy site 75% chance of playing, if he's ruled out i'll switch him before it starts

[paddysour]

Struggling to choose between Firmino and Mane. Firmino is half a mil cheaper but I just have a feeling Mane could explode this season. 15+ goals

[S.Red please]

Musa or Gray up front? Cant make my mind up. Will Musa start?

[Upinsmoke]

Went for:

Karius

Morgan
Alderweireld
Stones

Eriksen
Mahrez
Mane
Firmino
Kante

Ighalo
Kane

Subs: Hennessey, Hernandez, Reid, Smith

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

Musa or Gray up front? Cant make my mind up. Will Musa start?

He didn't start the Community Shield. I think Gray is the safe bet at this stage of the season as I think Ranieri will go with the tried and tested early on.
