The Weekend Team News

A

B because it doesn't involve young

A

Ill have to say B because it has mata and eirksen

A by a mile...but could you get Mata instead of Silva in A? Then it would be perfect.

I'd think so.

I figured out a way to cover chambers eventual benching. It's simple leave clyne on the bench.

GW1 for sure. But they have CL playoffs in the first 3 gameweeks or, as well. Tough to tell if there's a bit of rotation because of that, though.

I guess in one way it's not too nervy as if he doesn't start then your first GW is a bit undercut but your GW2 transfer is obviously to swap to the next best £4.5m before they rise.

Get Mannone + Pants

I think as long as mannone starts I'm happy to keep him for the season. Those save points he gets are just crazy and should keep some more shut outs this year.

But yeah he'll be gone if he doesn't start. I don't actually think pants is too much competition to their player of the year last year

if you're going for 1 keeper at least get a nailed on one!

Naughton
Chambers
Chester
Blackett

Assuming they start all games (they won't):

ABCD.

Realistically in terms of what minutes I think they'll get and their CS potential:

BADC

Overall, I'd pick D and have one worry less.

D - first xi player
.
.
.
B - good choice if walker really is out, but there's mixed reports
A - likely only plays GW1
C - Might play more than one game, might not play at all

Chester
Chambers
Naughton
Blackett

Chambers to Kelly in GW2 is a potential exit route

A
B
D
C

yep

Be surprised if that doesn't end in tears.

Proven fixture proof side

Me! And am worried about it. Considering cesc to nasri

Because they're all shit?

There is no good pick

Obviously there's no standout candidate, but you'd think the FFS-ers would go out on a limb and "nominate" the... less horrible candidate 😀

Cristian Gamboa

Pva & mannone getting some attention.and fletcher although that's a bit risky for me!

No, still a bad team who will be in a relegation scrap.

I think Rojo is the most likely. Blind is highly unlikely as there has been no contact between the clubs or the club and his agent

i want Di Mariaaaaaaaaaaaa

Rojo is a CB who can play at fullback, he's a good buy.

My order of priority goes Hummels first and Vidal next as crucial, then a winger would be nice...the rest can be missed until January or next summer. We need a CB badly.

And Wizzy, which site do you use to track transfer gossip?

One of the usual suspects probably. I'd guess in rough order: Baines, Terry, Vertonghen, Caulker, Cahill, Coleman.

skrtel or caulker would be my bets

Cahill

Baines, Lovren, Skrtel, Cahill, Vertonghen all good shouts

Baines with Terry or Iva closely following.

baines, terry, goalman, vert, ivan, caulker, skrtel

one of those

B. Keepers rotate well.

I think it's because no one cares and it has no baring on anyone's team ;p

Ye

POONANI!!!

Now that I have your attention....get me a beer!

I hope so as he's in my dead team.

He is as Cork is going to Palace and realistically Schneiderlin will probably end up at Spurs before the window closes.

Estimates differ. Poch says he could be ready, but injury specialist Ben Dinnery reckons weeks to a month, noting that he's barely played a game in 5 months

At least GW1 and 2, it seems

unclear - reports suggest he could be out until after the 1st international break, but it was in the mail so cant be trusted

He's a standout option early on.

Not as important as Rooney but I'd definitely look to upgrade one of you £8.5 strikers.

I'd rather have Costa than Rooney

Not ready post World Cup. Wasn't nailed-on last season with less competition.

Long world cup, short preseason.

Poor form last season and Cesc/Hazard offer better value.

poor form since half way through last season

why no Willian love 0.5%

Difficult one. Naylor seems the more nailed on of the two in the long run but I have taken him out as Swansea are going to be poor this season imo. Wilson to start with but with an exit strategy

or go naughton 😉

It makes sense - the only thing I'd caution against is planning your transfer like that - there are almost certainly going to be other issues to address.

Personally I reckon Davies will play, you don't spend eight figures on a fullback to sit on the bench.

But remember Pocc was a man that liked to rotate his full backs last year at Saints

I wouldn't worry about coverage. Go with the one who will score the most points.

silva until inevitable inj buttload of assts there

I dont have City cover either!

Don't worry about coverage - get Fabregas which is what I've done.

Silva always liable to injury and he's rarely explosive. Nasri is a good option but Fabregas is a better one imo.

cover is overrated

😀

It is a distinct possibility that ten weeks in half my players are injured...

My live one had them in it 😯

went Jov

I've gone with Jovetic on the basis of form and fitness levels. Also saving 0.5M for Bony/Giroud/Dzeko/whatever.

Wait and see with Lamela, he hasn't played well in a competitive football match for about 16 months and it's not a small amount of money.

Stick with Eirksen

I was thinking the same, decided to stick with what I know. Eric has set pieces and scored well last year.

Luis by a slender margin...which I'm only guessing exists anyway.

Rooney

Shrek

John Wayne Rooney 'Cover me I'm going in' 😉

I'm considering ramsey now, but rooney is on penalties

i said Mannone with 1 m cuz i have extra 0.5 M 😀

£9.5m is quite a lot to spend on rotating keepers.

I'd go Begovic.

Siggy

siggy

I quite like Henderson personally. Absolutely nailed in a team with a lovely GW1 fixtures and some (note some) potential to get a lot more attacking points this year.

It's easy to transfer when Siggy bombs or explodes but that's not going to happen either way in GW1.

wait until wk2

I think Ben Davies is (although can't rule out some rotation given Europa) because you don't spend close to eight figures on a left back and bench him.

Davis Jov/Dzeko
