Fantastic !

My team is almost set..... For the 5th time this week ! i keep changing it.... I move one player here, then one here and before you know it..... Totally new team again ! Grrrr Last season i found it was easier at the start of the year, the prices are a lot higher in proportion to last years figures. ( i do realise it is based upon the success of last years performances - but im just having a whinge !  >:(

Currently considering Howard. Everton have got a good set of matches to start up with the exception of Man Utd. Although I have heard rumours that Friedel might be leaving Villa. If thats the case I will definitely jump on Guzan. He is a top keeper, did you see him play against Brazil a few days ago?

LOL stevieG sorry shouldnt of put there its easier to copy paste, my bad.

[RobsOverAchieverss]

Thses guys are good there from birmingham my mate is from Ireland, fair play to anyone who knocks them off the top of the ladder.

[stevieg1980]

Villa will be a rabble in early part of the year - stay well clear ! If Young and Milner leave ( as expected ) they will fold !

When selecting your side consider players who take free kicks, corners and any other set pieces..... My first and last free piece of advice !

Thanks for the advice stevieg. I've finally put my first draft together.

GK: Van Der Saar (Robinson)
D: Vidic, terry, Craddock (Shawcross, Alonso)
M: Silva, Dempsey, Essien, Bale (Ferguson)
F: Rooney (C), Saha, Rodallega

Let me know what you think ;)

[CrowsFan]

Ok this might sound pretty harsh, but I don't like any of your midfield with the exception of Dempsey. Essien is a defensive midfielder so he won't score many goals or get assists. Silva never scored many goals at Valencia and with the squad City have you don't know how much playing time everyone will get. Rob could probably confirm this but I'm pretty sure Bale is going to play mostly as a left back so will be harder for him to get goals and assists, and at the same time since they moved him to the midfield in the game he wont get the clean sheet points. Also not much of a fan of Craddock, he scores goals but wolves concede lots of goals. I prefer defenders who get consistent points not 2 points most games and then a goal here and there.
Apart from that the rest of your team looks very nice :)

[Fletch74]

That's cool CF, appreciate the feedback. That's why I put myself down as 100-1.

I was hesitant of Silva with Man City's team, like MU. Essien was the last player I chose, he seemed good value for what I had left, but fair point, plus he's been injured, so might take him a while to get back in form.

Interesting point re Bale. He seemed to score well last year for what time he played, but if Tottenham push him back then you have a valid point. As for Craddick, well its called lack of money, but I suppose having 2 defender's worth 7 each makes it difficult to spend.

It was only first draft, so cheers for the feedback.

[RobsOverAchieverss]

I agree with pretty much everything said by crows, G Bale is a defender he played their at Southampton although he is not the best defender he is good deployed as a winger but if tottenham have one thing its some good midfielders so i dont think he will play midfield this year, and i dont like Saha to Injury prone and no where near as good as his fulham days...but these are just our opinions we could be completely wrong, it's not personal. :)
