Time is ticking …. its not quite Fergie time yet but its close, we now have exactly one week left until lockout, 1 week to settle our sides. So post your RMT’s in here and we, along with our friendly comment makers out there will take a look at it! We are no crystal ball gazers but sometimes it just helps to get your team out there for your own peace of mind. So lets see em!
GK: Hart (Federici)
DEF: Vidic, Vertonghen, (Pearce, McCartney, Clyne)
MID: Hazard(C), Silva(VC), Kagawa, Lallana, Nolan
FWD: Tevez, Podolski, Torres
Others better qualified to comment on the team overall but I notice the (c) on Hazard. Was thinking the same thing until the Community Shield but not sure now????
(Like your front three, I’ll copy that. Have a hunch about Podolski. Also not much love for the granny shagger in these teams)
just so you know Joe Hart is in doubt for this week after pulling out of the international friendly as well! and the option for a 2-5-3 formation isn’t available unfortunately
but apartfrom that it looks good! nice and unique.
Thanks guys, still not too sure about kagawa. This is my Virtual Sports team. Premier League and Fox Sports teams will be revelaed soon
What do you all think?
Friedel (Jaaskelainen)
A Cole, Williams, Shawcross, (Coloccini, Barnett)
Silva, Cabaye, Hazard, Kagawa, Allen
Aguero, Ba (Pogrebnyak)
Cheers
Looks good, but Ba very risky!
I think Ba is injured…
Midfield looks a bit weak, not sure who to upgrade or for whom:
Krul (Federchi)
Lescott, A Cole, Hangeland (Clark, Barnett)
Silva, Sinclair, Pienaar, Walters (Allen)
Aguero, Torres, Graham
midfield looks fine mate, I’m only goin with the one gun in mine too. Looking good mate!
thanks for the reply!
OPTION 1
Jaaski (Begovic)
A.Cole, Williams, Hangeland (Clark, Demel)
Bale, Hazard, Michu, Kagawa (Guthrie)
Petric, Tevez, Torres
+2.5 in the bank
OR OPTION 2 (I’m liking this one!)
Jaaski (Begovic)
A.Cole, Williams, Hangeland (Clark, Demel)
Bale, Hazard, Michu, Pienaar (Guthrie)
Bent, Tevez, Torres
+2.0 in the bank
OR my current team…
Jaaski (Begovic)
A.Cole, Williams, Hangeland (Clark, Demel)
Bale, Hazard, Michu, Pienaar (Guthrie)
Petric, Kun, Torres
+2.0 in the bank
keep your current team… what’s scary is it is very similar to mine and I thought mine was VERY unique.. haha!
I say option 2, similar to my team… Very nice
Jussi (Federici)
A Cole, Lescott, Hangeland. Williams (McCartney)
Bale, Hazard. Kagawa, Guthrie (Noble)
Aguero, Torres, Pogrebnyak
quite a stock standard team, perhaps you’d like to include a point of difference? It’ll score solidly though!
Lampard, Hazard or Mata and why?
hazard. guaranteed to start both games, and against the weaker opposition of reading and wigan (wigan play a 3 man defence) he should wreak havoc. mata looked flat in the community shield and is obviously in need of some rest after olympic and euro campaigns in succession. lampard will be forced to play as a DM, but will still be solid as he will still take pens.
Szczesny (Federici)
Kolarov, Hangeland, A.Cole, Vermaelen (Clark)
Yaya Youre, Lampard (C), Bale (Guthrie, Obertan)
Tevez, Torres, Graham
.5 in the bank
very expensive back line. also maybe play pog first gameweek then trade to graham the week after? up to you though!
Vorm (Federici)
Cole, Riiise, Williams
Toure, Carzola, Larrson, Bale
Petric, Torres, Tevez
Vorm (Federici)
Cole, Riiise, Williams (Demel, Fabio)
Toure, Carzola, Larrson, Bale (Dyer)
Petric, Torres, Tevez
riise a nice P.O.D.
cazorla is risky! unproven. larsson may suffer from sunderlands lack of attacking options especially with no solid striker and sessegnon in doubt too.
Szczesny (Federici)
Kolarov, Hangeland, Vermaelen (Clark, Clyne)
Ramires, Bale, Hazard, Yaya Toure (Guthrie)
Graham, Tevez, Torres (C)
is Pogrebnyak a lock? how’s the team looking?
looking as solid as I’ve seen mate! pog should be very close to selection, maybe get him, keep the 1.0 for an upgrade to graham after the first GW?
OK have changed my team up totally. Let me know what you think:
Szczesney (Federici)
Kompany, Williams, Hangeland (Harte, Reeves)
Sigurdsson, Gerrard, Hazard, Nolan (Sterling)
Rooney, Torres, Vaz Te
Have changed Sigurdsson to YaYa Toure and Hazard to Kagawa. I also changed Harte in the back to Nelsen. I didn’t realise Chelsea had 2 Hazards and I picked up the wrong one lol. I think this is better anyway. Let me know what your thoughts are. Cheers
Whatcha talkin’ bout Willis, 2 Hazards?
Well there are 2 Hazards in the EPL. The other may have been Everton but I got the wrong one regardless hence why I changed my line up.
Thorgan Hazard and Eden Hazard have both been signed by chelsea!
GK: Szczseny (Ruddy)
DEF: Coloccini, Shawcross, Lescott (Fabio, Shorey)
MID: Dempsey, Silva, Modric, Nolan (Guthrie)
FWD: Aguero, Torres, Pogrebnyak
very nice. dempsey is in a surprisngly low amount of teams so he could be a good P.O.D!
Coloccini, Shawcross, Lescott (Fabio, Shorey)
Dempsey, Bale, Ramires, Nolan (Guthrie)
Aguero, Torres, Pogrebnyak
nice work. make sure shorey gets the starting spot over Harte before you lock him in though!
de Gea (Cerny)
A Cole, Zabaleta, Koscielny (Fabio, McCartney)
Valencia, van der Vaart, Hazard, Pienaar (Guthrie)
Tevez, Torres (Graham)
Still tossing up between few… Kagawa Vs Valencia etc… Also may try and make room for Aguero instead of Tevez….
Thoughts??
For the price Tevez is the way to go I think. Seems to have put the ordeal of last year behind him. Maybe upgrade to Aguero. I’d also go Valencia every day of the week above Kagawa. Valencia has the runs on the board.
valencia could be an enormously beneficial unique pick. if you can’t make room for aguero dont fret, tevez should score well but will be occasionally rotated.
Very nice.
im in love with this team.
GK: Krul (Henderson)
DEF: Lescott, A.Cole, Vermaelen, Shorey, (Clyne).
MID: Guthrie, Silva, Mata, (Noble), (Allen).
FWD: Aguero, Pogrebnyak, Torres (c).
I’m using the Wildcard straight away, so this is only going to be for Gameweek 1.
Hazard>Mata, mata will be rested as he looked very tired on the weekend
what do you reckon about cleverly? will he start?
Not sure if he’s fit but maybe not a fantasy option yet…
GK: Vorm, (Federici)
DEF: Vidic, Vertonghen, Pearce (McCartney, Fonte)
MID: Silva (VC), Hazard (C), Lallana, Allen (Noble)
FWD: Torres, Suarez, Podolski
Not sure about having Allen or Walters and Noble or Guthrie.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
Great, unique team! Maybe Pienaar>Allen but for I know Liverpool may benefit him, not convinced though… otherwise all good.
This is my second season of Fantasy EPL, and I’ve left putting my team together till the last min.
Thoughts? I wasn’t planning on using my wildcard after week 1. I threw this together today..
GK: Vorm (Jaaskelainen)
Def: Cole A, Williams, Harte (Fabio, Walker)
Mid: Mata, Silva, Bale, Guthrie (Noble)
Fwd: Holt, Pogrebnyak, Aguero
Great team, maybe Hazard>Mata as mata looks tired and ready for a rest.
Interesting! I’ll look into it. Thanks for the thoughts!
Team is pretty much as good as it is going to get for GW1:
Schwarzer (Jaaskelainen)
Hangeland, Baines, Zabaleta (Clyne and Fabio)
Pienaar, Hazard, Kagawa, Guthrie (Beausejoir)
Progrebenyak, Torres, Aguero
Will trade Progrebnyak and Torres for Graham and Rooney respectively after GW1.
Also, thoughts on which City defenders will play. I have had all of them, from Clichy to Kolarov to Lescott, but finally settled on Zabaleta, with Richards out for 4 weeks. Do you think Zabaleta will get a game when Richards comes back?
Thanks
Once Richards is back no,Clichy and Lescott look the better options if you can’t afford Komopany. Still start with Zab, great team though.
Hi, just wondering what everyone’s thoughts are on Lescott, didn’t feature in the Community Shield so wondering if its worth back him in or maybe switching to Zabaleta or Clichy to save 0.5m?
Zabaleta to start the season maybe, but City should switch back to 4 at the back, making room for lescott. He will start.
DDG (Federici)
A.Cole, Walker, Chico (Barnett, McCartney)
Hazard (C), Bale, Kagawa, Michu (Guthrie)
Aguero, Graham, Defoe
Any thoughts would be appreciated
chico a great choice, swansea have the easiest bunch of fixtures to start with. michu and graham as well, but I feel like you’re sticking all your eggs in their basket!
Hey guys, please give me your thoughts on my team;
GK: De Gea (Federici)
DEF: Walker, Cole, Jones, (Santon, Clyne)
MID: Nasri, Allen, Hazard(VC), Lallana, (Diarra (west ham))
FWD: Aguero(C), Podolski, Lambert
Also wondering on your thoughts about Joe Cole??
Joe Cole would be a replacement winger should someone go down injured. he won’t play to start with. Nasri is very risky, too risky for mine! will likely be rotated at certain times throughout the season. aguero (C) over Hazard ? I’d go the other way round given hazards easy fixture and double game week! I’d also look to get lambert after his fixtures clear up, southampton have a tremendously difficult run to start the year!
What are your thoughts on Van Der Vaart this season. Also what are your thoughts on Podolski? Good choices or not?
VDV = slight risk. Can be prone to injury but given a few games can rack up massive points. Podolski = very good player, how he handles a new league like the EPL is anyones guess. He’s in an attacking team at Arsenal but can he fit in?
Lots of new players in the EPL, all risks in their own way.
Haven’t tinkered with this for two days so Im thinking its settled for 1st gameweek:
Fed (Vorm)
Cole, Zabaleta, Fabio (Clyne, Demel)
Bale, Ramires(vc), Pienaar, Guthrie (Michu)
Rooney, Torres(c), Tevez
No funds leftover…bit of a worry as I plan on shipping two of the Chelsea boys out by week 3 which could be tough but we’ll see.
Sites been awesome for a first timer…cheers again lads.
People have been a bit suss on Rooney what with RVP joining. Maybe a thinking point… Unfortunately transfering him out will mean a major reshuffle of your whole team.
Lol yeah good point…and ive actually updated my team with the RVP news..(posted in the other RMT thread)
Fed (Vorm)
Cole Zabaleta Hangeland (Collocini Demel)
Bale Ramires Pienaar N’Zogbia (Beausejour)
Torres Tevez Graham
Now 3.5m leftover for jumping on a big hitter from United/Arsenal
Good team. The reshuffle brings more balance and the $ gives you opportunity to upgrade Ramires and Graham. Well played sir.
