Anyone considering starting Cazorla?

Also have started a classic league, starting in gameweek 1, so get involved!!

Hmm so finally got around to making a team. Took me about 5 minutes to put together so fire away with the criticism ;)

Szczesny
Rafael - Vertonghen - Jose Enrique
Bale - Kagawa - Toure - Pienaar - Michu
Tevez - Bent
Foster - Lambert - Fox - Harte

I have Carzola atm... Until someone mentions a better option... Currently tossing up between him and Kagawa...

[Holz]

did some moving around with my team, im reasonably happy but happy for criticism.

Green (Jaaskelainen)
A.Cole, Evra, Shawcross (Hangeland, Barnett)
Hazard, Silva, Bael, Allen (Briton)
Aguero, Ba, Pogryebnyak

You lads happy to have another EPL fanatic join your league? I was wondering if there would be an fantasy EPL league on the forum and i finally stumbled across it! Loving the Kawaga vs Hazard arguments as well haha.

Sure!

Is Walcott going to be fine for the start of the season?  Currently have him in my team, but if he's going to miss then I'll obviously trade him out.  I'll have 10.0 to spend on a midfielder then, though I'd rather keep 1.0 in the bank for a rainy day, so I'd be looking at a 9.0 or below midfielder.

Same conundrum as me! Rolling with Carzola atm but Kagawa is waiting in the wings and Valencia is also lurking...

[Chelskiman]

I'm thinking Valencia personally.  Could be in for a ripping season.

[Mr. Smith]

I'm a 1st time player so I'm really not sure if I'm on the right track, but here goes anyway

de Gea (Jaaskelainen)
Clichy, A.Cole, Jose Enrique (Shawcross, Harte)
Allen, Toure, Kagawa, Park (Noble)
Aguero, Torres, Pogrebnyak

2.0 mil leftover

Clichy may have to fight with Kolarov for that left back spot so may be some trouble there.
Torres is rubbish! haha

Anyway apart from Torres it's a good side. For that remaining 2mil I reckon you should upgrade Park to Scott Sinclair or Yohan Cabaye and maybe Pogrebnyak to Lambert, or you could go Torres to Rooney.

[Chelskiman]

Nothing wrong with Torres.  I'm also not sold on Pogrebnyak either.  I had him to begin with as back up to Ba and Aguero, but I've sinced changed my strike force to Aguero, Lambert and Di Santo.  I think Lambert will be a good buy as he can obviously score, but he can also chip in with assists, plus he's the penalty taker.  Fantasy gold right there.  Di Santo is just backup, but he should play most games and if he can get 80-100 points as backup then I'll be happy.

Thats a pretty good crack Mr. Smith, only players id be concerned about is Clichy's rotation, and whether or not Kawaga will start the first game or not, hes playing an international friendly this week so may be a chance to start as a sub. Also think there may be better value in in 6.0m bracket than Park.

Heres where im at at the moment after about 1 gazillion transfers:

DeGea (Henderson)
Walker, Hangeland, Ivanovic (Jenkinson, McCartney)
Sinclair, Ramires, Yaya, Taarabt (Livermore)
Aguero, Torres, Defoe

Gone with the no new signings option ala Hazard, Kawaga, Podolski. Will bring them in when they prove they can perform.

Also pulling my hair out about Defore vs a cheaper striker such as Djibrl Cissie, who i think can explode this year as long as he doesnt get sent off every game he plays.

[KoopKicka]

My current plan for GW1/GW2

GW1:

Federici (Krul)
Lescott,Baines,Williams (Hangeland,Barnett)
Bale, Kagawa/Valencia, Hazard, Gunthrie (Davis)
Pogrebnyak,Aguero,Holt

GW2:

Krul (Federici)
Lescott,Baines,Williams (Hangeland, Barnett)
Bale,Kagawa/Valencia, Hazard, Pienaar, Davis
Aguero, Holt (Pogrebynak)

1. Do you like the plan? Thoughts?
2. Kagawa or Valencia?
3. What do you think of my team?

[Jukes]

1) I cbf planning but seems ok.
2) Kagawa
3) Hazard is a spud get him out imo won't adapt to the epl's physicality.
