    Diego Costa still with the dodgy hamstring.

    I think I'm going to avoid him this season ;hmm
  • IrondukeIronduke
    Who? the pick and mix salesman?
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    ;ok I've just swapped him for Rooney.
  • IrondukeIronduke
    Nooooooooooooooooo I `ve got Rooney which means he is jinxed!!
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    Arsenal look really good again today in the Charity Shield, I've benched my 3 hammers and kept my two Gooners in the team.

  • IrondukeIronduke

    I altered a couple of things ( and probably will do again when someone gets injured before season starts ) but I've joined the whu606 league and also the head to head one....'Fer_Coates' inspired by coat talk!

    I still have a great MF but back line looks stronger/ more depth to it. Sticking with same strikers, although a little concerned about Bentekes game time so far ( nice goal today though ;whistle )

    latest team

    The issue I've got with Trippier, is he going to be first choice, or is Walker going to be? ;hmm
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    I agree and with Rose also at 5.5, who scores and assists on the other side, I'd pick him if I had to choose a Spurs defender. Man Utd away first game means I'm happy to wait n see...

    After a couple of weeks when I didn't touch the team I made changes yesterday and now I am unsure about the squad.

  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    Me too... I keep swapping players over.

    What has made me nervous is that I have found myself with 3 Liverpool players all of a sudden.

    I have no idea how they sneaked in under the rader... ;whome

    Its pretty understandable to have doubts/changes of mind as there are always lots of unanswered questions pre-season. I didnt start from scratch recently after having thoughts on players I wanted, as opposed to those I could accommodate. I decided to pick a core of players that I wanted the most ( ignoring Sanchez and Aguero knowing I would bring one of them in depending on who started well for me and who didnt ).

    So I relisted and prioritized ( e.g. my belief of players value allied to ability to both score and assist, not just one + potential + lower priced players to fit in with core) and it made things clearer to decide on the initial line up....

    Forwards:

    1st choice(s) - Benteke
    2nd choice(s) - Rooney/Deeney/Aguero/Kane
    3rd choice(s) - Lukaku/Rodriguez(not starting season)/Giroud

    Midfield:

    1st choice(s) - Hazard/Sterling/Depay
    2nd choice(s) - Walcott/Ritchie/Firmino/Sanchez/Payet
    3rd choice(s) - Mane/Tadic/Wijnaldum/Ayew/Odemwingie/Aarons/Ibe/Anya (last 4 to potentially accommodate Aguero/Sanchez after start of season)

    Defence:

    1st choice(s) - Bellerin/Darmian/Cedric
    2nd choice(s) - Schlupp/Coleman/Clyne/Rose/Kolarov/Skrtel/Ivanovic
    3rd choice(s)/cheapest value - Morgan/Francis/Mings/Simpson/Gomez (who might start at LB for Liverpool after preseason)

    So my core turned out to be:

    Schmiechel

    Darmian/Cedric/Bellerin

    Hazard/Sterling/Depay

    Benteke

    I decided to go with fitting two MF from my second choices which were the cheapest two but IMO had goals/assists potential to rank with higher cost players. Payet is class and Ritchie got a lot of goals and assists last yea, so 6M is value

    Rooney as central striker is keeping Agueros place warm (unless he starts well then I will have to make a big decision about him and benteke or a high price MFer)
    Deeneys a 20 goal a season man for the last 3 years and assists so I have to put him in at 5.5 to accommodate a stronger MF and DF

    I wanted to put Schlupp in for his goals and he'll play in MF but Southampton have good early fixtures too and Cedric Soares seem to be a pacey assister - What decided it for me is that Simpson is the only 4.0 player I have enough trust in to both play and not be in too leaky a team. So I didnt want three Leicester player ( inc GK ) at the back. Francis get in because hes an attacking back with numerous assists last year (and Morgan isnt fit at 4.5 ). I'll be checking Gomez though

    Schmiechel/Hennessey

    Darmian/Cedric/Bellerin/Francis/Simpson

    Hazard/Sterling/Depay/Payet/Ritchie

    Benteke/Rooney/Deeney

    So all in all, simple ;whistle

    What worries me is I have 3 West Ham players ;lol

    Cresswell, Sakho and Payet. The thing is West Ham players come in relatively cheap and I have an idea about what form they're in.

    I tinkered because looks like Aguero isn't fit, which gave more budget.

    Question is Benteke or Bony? I guess Bony will fail in for Aguero, and I feel he'll get better service than Benteke because I don't know what to expect from Liverpool.

    Fabianski / Schmeichel
    Cresswell / Bertrand / Clyne / Baker /Morgan
    Depay / Hazard/ Payet / Sigurdsson/ Bolasie
    Bony / Sakho/ Berahino

    I didnt pick Bony as I still dont trust him after a slow start. However, he was prolific before the transfer to City and its a fresh slate at the start of season ( silva and stirling etc should supply him and Aguero when hes back ). So dont blame you for choosing him at all.

    I picked Benteke because he'll be main man at Liverpool ( and Clyne, Ibe, Henderson, Milner, Coutinho, Firmino etc will create more than Villa did for him + he already has a good strike record )

    I believe Bertrand and Morgan arent going to be fit for season start, especially Bertrand ( and I think Baker is rumoured to be going on loan to Championship ) so you may only have 2 fit defenders outcast

    Well its better than 'reality' football at the moment ;thumbsup

    Totally appeals to the analyst in me ;puzzled
  • OutcastLondonerOutcastLondoner
    Baz, I'm going to switch Bertrand out if he's not fit. Just don't want to tinker too much. I only use 3 in defence and I have £2.5m to play with. Waiting until I know more about who's fit and where they're playing.
