Rafael Vidic Ferdinand Evra

Expect Ferdinand to be rested with Jones & Smalling available.

Rafael could be the decent buy, with Brown & OShea gone.

Old man Neville too.

Seems a weak link for United still. I can't see Rafael playing (twice) every week.

Fabio was getting alot of minutes towards the end of last season wasn't he? Or was that just when Rafael was injured?

De Gea
Rafael Vidic Rio Evra

Fabio tends to play left back but does sometimes fill in the right back slot. Rafael has played around twice as many games as his twin though if that's anything to go by.

--------------De Gea--------------

Rafael--Ferdinand---Vidic-----Evra

--------Carrick----Anderson------

Valencia------Rooney-------Young

------------Hernandez-------------


Nani, Berbatov and Fletcher will be part of a rotation system amongst wingers, strikers and CMs respectively.

valencia picked up an injury so i think nani will start the season ahead of him , i also expect sneijder to start ahead of anderson, failing that another new midfielder, linked with erikson

Phil Jones played rb last night and did very well. Seeing how versatile he is(RB, CB, DM), is it not possible he will have played more minutes than Rafael at the end of the season?

It's a valid question to which we will have little clue until at least the Charity Shield match. I had earmarked Rafael for a number of my 8 teams after the departure of O'Shea and Brown, but will be forced to reconsider.

Question marks over all the main defensive forces this year.

Jones and his versatility-an O'Shea?

Yeah, this is a concern, but I'd still expect Rafael to be first choice at RB. Looking at SAF's comments I get the impression that he's pleased at Jones' capacity to act as cover for this position. I'm actually more concerned with Fabio.

The Mirror are strongly hinting that De Gea's position is under threat from Anders Lindthing :lol:

I really don't thin De Gea is cut out for the Prem. He is not that bulky a goalkeeper and looks very weak under crosses.
Could be a problem area for Man Utd this year.

My opinion, we'll start the season with --

de Gea

Rafael
Ferdinand
Vidic
Evra

Nani
Carrick
Anderson
Young

Rooney
Berbatov*

*Very much dependent on Berbatov staying, which is still a bit up in the air. If he goes, I fancy Welbeck to start.


SUBS:
Lindegaard, Fabio, Smalling, Jones/Cleverley, Park, Giggs, Welbeck. Or Owen/Macheda (toss a coin) if Berbatov goes.

Valencia and Hernandez will be eased in over the first few weeks. Fletcher needs reserve games. I fear for Evans Utd career.

I kind of agree with everyone here about that back 5. 4 of them are nailed on, with RB the only one in doubt. I had assumed Rafael was going to start there, and have him in my FPL team at a bargain 5.5m. But I'm getting more worried the closer we get. Didn't start on Sunday, and I've read reports in the papers (Sunday Times I think) about Fabio actually being more likely to get the nod after his good performances there last season...

Bottom line is that I think the low price is an accurate reflection of the doubt over whether he'll actually be a starter in over 50% of games. :?

Anderson has looked pretty decent of late is he now the main man in CM?
