^^ your midfield must be insane. I think it's costing your front line though. Okazaki wont start

Ozil Coutinho Sigurdsson Mkhitaryan Payet

yeah need to change Okazaki, need a 100% starter. I rate Ings but he might not start

How these work?

All out attack allows you to play just 2 defenders in a gameweek. Bench boost allows you to earn points from all your players in a gameweek and triple captain allows you to earn 3x points from your chosen captain in a gameweek.

Sorted, needed to get £0.5 from someone to afford callum wilson to replace okazaki so took out ashley williams and put in erik pieters, all my defenders are attacking full backs

You can only use each one once throughout the season and you can't play 2 on the same week. You don't lose points for using them.

My first stab at things this season:

Goalkeepers: Courtois, Hennessey
Defenders: Sagna, Van Dijk, Morgan, Delaney, Simpson
Midfielders: Hazard, Bojan, Bolasie, De Bruyne, Fischer
Forwards: Aguero, Long, Gray

Going to stick to my tactic of using bench boost in the first week, as it's the only time I'll be comfortable that everyone will start. Will probably play my wildcard in week two as I've gone for players with relatively easy fixtures GW 1.
And if the rain stops, and everything's dry.. she would cry, just so I could drink tears from her eyes.

They've really forced people to make tough decisions with their pricing scheme this year. After the amount of good cheap options last year (alli, payet, Mahrez, vardy, ighalo etc) they don't seem to want people to get points so easy.

I really wanted Aguero and de bruyne and maybe Hazard but it really doesn't leave you many options after that.

RAWK leagues

Red and White Kop: 36558-10814

RAWK H2H #1: 36558-10907

RAWK H2H #2: 36558-10918

RAWK H2H #3: 36558-10927

RAWK H2H #4: 36558-10932

RAWK H2H #5: 36558-10941


Please don't join every H2H league, they have limited amount of players (except #1).

I cant seem to get into this one.  Any ideas mate?

Not sure on my team atm, I've changed it about 4 times in the past few days.

GK: De Gea - Jakupovic

DF: Terry - Stones - Pieters - Friend - Paredes

MF: Hazard - Mahrez - Payet - Ibe - Redmond

ST: Kane - Lukaku - Gray

Terry - Chelsea should be good in defence this year and I couldn't afford another Chelsea defender
Stones - This was purely based on any move he makes to Man City. If he doesn't then I'll be changing him.
Hazard - Surely he can't be shit for 2 seasons in a row?

I mean, if his first reaction to a ball bouncing in front of him 40 yards from goal is 'I'm going to whack this into the net from here', you just have to laugh at the sheer improbability of it all."

I think you've neglected your midfield too much. Also spending 6.5 on Alderweireld and Bellerin is too much for your defence. Personally I'm only going for Aguero rather than him and Ibra

Yep nothing in midfield. Defenders are impossible to get points from, look at my side above, buttons spent on them.

Cabaye    Hazard      Martial       Firmino
Lukaku    Aguero      Gray

subs
Heaton    Paredes      Ibe     Van Aanholt


Gone for a cheap defence and will switch Stones if he does move because Everton. Not sure about Martial, Gray and Cabaye. They could be swapped but I'm tired of tinkering tonight,

Ah, good to know. Is midfield more valuable than the other areas? I'll rework the squad get a few points for it.

I was greedy and put a bucketload of points for Aguero and Zlatan, but I originally had Ighalo or Origi in place of the latter.

Problem with origi is that he wont 100% start all games, in your starting 11 you need 11 starters. Better going with Lukaku or Kane or Long who are guaranteed to start every week pretty much.

In defence I wouldn't get bellerin AND aldeweired, 13m on two defenders is huge. Paredes for watford or Ake for bournemouth are both very cheap and will play.

Got £23m to spend on my strikers- do you think Sturridge plus two from Gray, Negredo or Wilson (and any suggestions which two?) or Batshuayi with two from Origi, Rashford, Gray, Negredo or Wilson?

I've loaded my midfield with Firmino, De Bruyne, Hazard and Mkhitaryan so not got loads to play with!
