This is what i am looking at. Opinions (good and bad) welcome.


Vorm - Lindegaard (Risky i know but think its worth it - will decide after Newcastle game)
Kompany - Jones - Simpson - Shotton - Clark (Villa defender playing midfield at the moment) or Caulker
Bale - Moses - Valencia - Silva - Gerrard
Ade - RVP - Yak



Other alternative midfield and forwards are:


Bale - Moses - Valencia - Silva - Sessegnon
RVP - Bellamy - Aguero



Im 90% there regarding keepers and defenders but would love to hear opinions on midfield/forwards.

Belllamy's crocked knee will mean he wont play every game. Plus now Pennant is back it looks like Shotton will be playing less (may want a stoke fan to confirm that though). Also is Valencia going to keep his place once Young is back?

I think your first option midfielders and strikers are better however who in that team will you be benching? After all either Moses or Yakubu are pretty good to be left warming the bench...

I think that looks a strong squad.

There is very little to criticise here. I'll try and offer a few constructive points.

Clark vs Caulker
You look like you have a defence of nailed on starters (Shotton is the only iffy one) but presumably you are looking to play Jones + Kompany + A.N. other.

Caulker over Clark will save 0.7m. Swansea and Newcastle have near perfect home & away fixture sync. It makes your 3rd defender choice somewhat easier if you are guaranteed a home defender to choose from. (i.e Simpson and Caulker)


Lindegaard
The problem with having Lindegaard is that it takes up 1 of your 3 Man United places. I am looking well in advance here - but looking at Man United for gameweeks 28-35 you would probably want to have something like Rooney-Nani-Jones (Jones you have already) for that stretch of games. Having Lindegaard means that you can only have 2 united outfield players - one of which is already Jones, another defender.

You are playing it by ear and waiting until after the United game with Newcastle but even if he does appear tonight I question the likelyhood of him playing every game this season.

As an alternative I think that it's hard to look past Mingolet at 4.3m.

Liverpool
Differentials. No doubt about it. You do not need to be told about the risk/reward theory behind differentials.

Liverpool are so indifferent (and expensive). Both Bellamy and Gerrard are good punts if they come off. If you do not own them - their ownership %'s are so low you might not lose ground if you miss a goal or two from them.

The only Liverpool player worth going for is Saurez but of course that is not an option anymore!

I think that Clint Dempsey is a better buy at 8.5m with 7.6% ownership. Dempsey (and Caulker) would free up some cash for an upgrade..

Conclusion
Vorm - Mingolet
Kompany - Jones - Simpson - Shotton - Caulker
Bale - Moses - Valencia - Silva - Dempsey
Ade - RVP - Yak

possibly enough money now for

Yak :arrow: Sturridge?
Moses :arrow: Sess?
Valencia :arrow: Nani?
Adebayor :arrow: Rooney/Aguero?

Although Moses is the perfect out of position midfielder to free up cash and an easy bench decision. I would keep him.

I hope this helps or at least gives you some fresh ideas. :P

Good luck.

Mignolet was 1st choice but has been out through injury, probably still first choice even tho westwood pro ed himself as a capable keeprr imo

Lindegaard in United team tonight and i feel he could hold his place. Im going to stick with him i think

Totally changed everything else of course and settled on this team:


Vorm - Lind

Richards - Essou Ak - Kompany - Caulker - Kelly (Fulham)

Nani - Silva - Bale - Moses - Sessignon

RVP - Sturridge - Ade



Damn it looks good on screen :D

Granted gameweek 22 is going to be tough but after that it looks fine.....Heres hoping!

Thanks for all the advice and sorry for misposting
