Who is starting GW 1 for us? Clyne or TAA?

Clyne I imagine will play against West Ham, Alexander Arnold has only come back recently.

Me too. I also have Shaqiri, hopefully it works out. 😂

Cheers mate, we should have a no Manc (Utd) rule

Cruiser · « **Reply #85 on:** August 7, 2018, 03:43:04 pm »

Is Smalling likely to spearhead Utd's defence? They always seem to do well defensively, especially with shitcoat in charge.

LiamG · « **Reply #86 on:** August 7, 2018, 07:14:13 pm »

Can't decide on having aguero,bobby and zaha or swap aguero for arnautovic and spend the extra on my defence?

Living Legends · « **Reply #87 on:** August 7, 2018, 07:28:31 pm »

I tried having Aguero and Mo but wasn't happy with how unbalanced it became especially as Aguero isn't a guaranteed started...so I removed him. However, I reckon he'll start well.

Hazell · « **Reply #88 on:** August 7, 2018, 07:41:09 pm »

Question: Aubameyang, Jesus or Aguero? They'll all score but you never know which player Guardiola will pick whereas Aubameyang is Arsenal's best striker and virtually guaranteed to start most games. But still, Aguero looked sharp in the Community Shield. Tough decision. Thoughts anyone?

robgomm · « **Reply #89 on:** August 7, 2018, 08:15:24 pm »

I think Auba of those three. To be honest, even with the fixtures it's probably a good time to get him because there's gotta be a feeling he'll be getting a few goals in Arsenal's tempting run of fixtures. Wenger kept rotating or messing about with him and Lacazette but I imagine they'll play a few more games together this season. That said, it does slightly put me off that from pre-season it seems Auba will be shunted to the left wing.

LiamG · « **Reply #90 on:** August 7, 2018, 09:28:53 pm »

Arsenal got 2 hard fixtures to begin with as well, could possibly get Auba or lacazette after them games

Im gonna stick with having salah and aguero for now, but my defence is a bit weak

Bobinhood · « **Reply #91 on:** August 8, 2018, 12:46:14 am »

Ive got our front 3 and Auba and it just doesn't leave much money. 44 on 4 leaves 56 for 11. hmmm. The 5 and 4.5 defenders and Mids are SHOCKING

But he scored so well last year im afraid to not have him.

This is a wild card in game 3 situation i can see it coming.

Roady · « **Reply #92 on:** August 8, 2018, 09:40:14 am »

My defence is weak as piss but I’ve a decent attack and midfield.

Prof · « **Reply #93 on:** August 8, 2018, 01:24:11 pm »

So... I've just done a draft with 7 other guys. I have no mancs or Everton players. I've also managed to get 8 reds...

Allison
VVD
Lovren
Gomez
Keita
Shaqiri
Mane
Sturridge

Gomez was a late buy just for the first week to be honest and Sturridge and Shaqiri more as gambles.

I picked Aubemyang as my first round pick. I've been offered a straight swap to get Bobby for him. What should I do?

That's the way to go.
Maybe just have one decent keeper and a another keeper who also plays all the time.

LFCStephen · « **Reply #95 on:** August 8, 2018, 04:35:34 pm »

So tough his season, hard to leave salah out.

Real mixed team, with 2 fulham players & two Wolves players, big gamble

Thanks, yeah I think I'll go with Aubameyang as well (maybe after the Man City game), can always change it if necessary.

Red Beret · « **Reply #98 on:** August 8, 2018, 09:58:38 pm »

Urgh, midfield is a bitch this year. Once you get past the usual suspects at the usual teams the points drop off a cliff.

my name canged back to tucker? · « **Reply #99 on:** August 8, 2018, 10:12:13 pm »

pedro or richarlison? i reckon pedro could start games early on before being rotated heavily,
also thinking of bernardo silva for the first few weeks before he starts getting rotated, though not a massive fan of picking players who dont play every week

Seems extra hard this year. No idea who a lot of our main rivals will play at the back and the World. Cup has made it even harder to predict line ups for the opening weeks.

Red Viper · « **Reply #102 on:** August 9, 2018, 09:17:56 am »

Think the only part of the team I'm unsure about now is Keita. Feels like a bit of a gamble.

Feel like my team is alright but got a couple of injuries I might have to take out.

auba on last years form would probably edge it for points, but his smile while good is no match, and lets be clear he doesnt track back its no contest in the real world.

OMG its deadline day. Best 4.5 defender anyone? does it have to be daniels is that it then?

Stand Free · « **Reply #111 on:** August 9, 2018, 04:00:39 pm »

Have changed again! Hopefully final time but couldn't keep Salah out. Got a reasonably strong midfield and attack but a horrifically poor defence, hopefully pays off.

Once everyone plays all the time you can rotate both players and formations.
Try to have 2/3 defenders at home every other week and the rest away so you can play the Homers. Same with keepers if possible one away, while the other at Home.

I like to go with 3-5-2 or 3-4-3.

I also briefly had Boly of wolves but ive no idea who he is and ive never seen him play so i had second thoughts for some reason.

RJH · « **Reply #118 on:** August 9, 2018, 10:11:28 pm »

Still messing around with my team.

Changed from Van Dijk to Lovren to free up cash to swap Aubemayang for Aguero.

Ings at 5.5m would be tempting if not for the fact that Southampton were so terrible last season.

Filler. · « **Reply #119 on:** August 9, 2018, 10:54:18 pm »

where the dickens is

Aaron Wan-Bissaka (Crystal Palace, £4.0m)

A 20-year-old who looks set to start the season at right-back for Crystal Palace having won the favour of Hodgson. At £4.0m and confident of a starting place, Wan-Bissaka is virtually a must-have.

Found him! Fuck me

Going to make him captain after all that. Forgot I selected 'sorted by%' list. At the top!
