Ferdinand Jagielka
Evra
Vidic
Hutton

Gerrard
Cahill
Modric
Bullard

Torres
Camara Bent

Reasons;

Jagielka; reasonable defence, should be a regular. Ferdinand had to go, to free up cash for the Camara mistake to be rectified.
Camara, has Hansen picked him for a bet? Bent scored loads in pre season, and if he does'nt score, then i'm happy to put the mockers on the mob up the Seven Sisters Road.

double post, sorry

Value £50m

Transfers used - 0

Reasons - Johnson in for the overinflated Ferdinand and because I think that Portsmouth’s supposed tough start is a red herring. Bent in because I couldn’t afford Ashton.

Value £49.5m
Bank £0.5m
Transfers used - 0
Transfers remaining - 30


Reasons - Ferdinand out as he frees up the most cash, taking a fair sized risk on Simpson but expect him to start most games and feel Incey will attempt to be defensively solid at least to start with until he susses the division out.
Camara has to go, WHU have a reasonable start and I expect a fit Ashton to do well. Half a mill in the bank for some more surgery soon, Hansen is a chap

Reasons - Cahill crocked so in comes Noble as an enabler. Not doing with Camara either so in come the silky skills of Carlton Cole for a brief visit. Stop. Hammer Time.

Torres Adebayor

Team Value 49.4
Transfers Left 30

Reasons

Prefer Adeybayor over Torres season long and especially Arsenal's early fixtures. Taking a big risk swapping Gerrard but Bent has to come in as he was on fire pre season.

Torres Adebayor

Team Value 49.9
Transfers Left 30

Reasons

Adebayor for arsenals early fixtures - and Sagna for the same reason. Torres is class and will return later in the year, but this team needs quite a few changes for me to be happy with it - wts

Good Luck everyone

Woolsters Egg XI

Van der Sar

Vidic
Ferdinand
Hutton
Cahill Denilson
Gerrard
Bullard
Modric
Camara Alves
Torres

Value £49.9m
Bank £0.9m
Transfers used - 0
Transfers remaining - 30

Reasons -
Taking a punt on Denilson with Arsenals injuries having a few games and perrhaps then keeping his place alongside Fabregas. And with him being so cheap it means I can squeeze Alves in, who I think is at a great price

Good luck all

Stroke of genius there.

VDS

Clichy
Evra
Sagna
Hutton Boswinga

Gerrard Lampard
Cahill Arteta
Modric Fabregas
Bullard Lawrence

Torres
Camara Fuller

6 Transfers Done

Reasons : Completely revamped my midfield, gained some more dosh by downgrading Camara to Fuller, brought in Fabregas & Arteta for Cahill & Modric, wasn't going to change Gerrard but with his groin problem, i think he might be out for longer than 2 matches, needed an extra 0.1m for Lampard so got Lawrence for Bullard, Boswinga comes in to strengthen my defence.

2 more transfers than I wanted but .....so what !!

Van Der Sar Cech

Ferdinand Terry
Evra Carvalho
Vidic A. Cole
Hutton Bosingwa

Young
Cahill SWP
Modric
Bullard

Torres
Bent Cisse
Total cost = 49.5
Transfers left = 23

Reason(s): United miss a game, Hutton's injured and I really didn't want to go into this weekend with just 7 players so in comes a complete Chelsea block, big gamble but I'm very hopeful it will pay off as the season progresses.

Tim Cahill has to go, another blooming sicknote, was going to gamble on Stephen Ireland but then MC upgraded him to SWP, he should now play regular and haul in a goodly amount of points.

The final change is a hunch, I fancy Djibril to have a good season with the Mackems.

Massive changes this early but I can now put this team to bed until Christmas (barring injuries)

VDS

Jagielka
Evra
Vidic
Hutton Eboue

Gerrard
Cahill Elano
Modric
Bullard

Torres
Bent

Total Cost; 49.7M
Transfers left; 28

Reasons;
Hutton and Cahill still injured, and not looking to come back soon.

Wenger won't drop Eboue(why!!!), and Arsenal in a good run of fixtures.

Elano takes penalties, and is looking good so far this season.

OscarBravo Egg Cup

Van der Sar
Evra
Vidic
D Simpson
Hutton A Traore
Cahill Arteta
Gerrard
Bullard Deco
Modric Wright-Phillips
Ashton
Torres

Value £49.6m
Bank £0.4m
Transfers used - 4
Transfers remaining - 26


Reasons

Hutton A Traore - Frees up some cash for the other changes, Spurs defenders are generally a no-no and errrr, he's injured.
Cahill Arteta - Again Cahill injured, Arteta made a good start.
Bullard Deco - Never really been sold on the idea of having Bullard in my team and the little Portugese fella has made a cracking start, he's pure class, only worry is he likes a card
Modric Wright-Phillips - Modric is a CK whereas SWP had a good TFF record until he went south, will be chomping at the bit to make up for lost time.

Van der Sar
Evra
Vidic Bosingwa
Dossena
Hutton Wheater
Cahill Fabregas
Gerrard Lampard
Bullard
Modric
Alves
Torres

Value £49.9m
Transfers remaining - 26

Reasons -
Out go the injured Gerrard, Cahill and Hutton.
I'm not keen on all that money spent on Vidic when Bosingwa is around. Wheater comes in as I like the way Boro are setting up this season and he's a threat from set pieces.
The money freeded up from ditching Vidic affords Fabregas and Lampard

Don't like using this may transfers at this stage but injuries and the shower picked by Hansen force my hand

Vannie Egg Cup XI:

Van der Sar
Evra
Vidic
Ferdinand A.Cole
Hutton Bosingwa
Noble
Gerrard
Bullard
Modric Fabregas
C.Cole
Torres

Value £49.7m
Bank £0.3m
Transfers used - 3
Transfers remaining - 27

Reasons:
- Rio ties up a lot of cash so with Utd having a blank weekend it's a good time to downgrade to a cheaper Chelsea DF
- Hutton injured/Spurs defender, Bosingwa looks obvious value and gives me a nice defensive balance
- Fab now back, a far more known quantity in the Prem than Modric

Ripping Hansen's team apart early with just the 8 transfers.

Van Der Sar Almunia
Ferdinand Arbeloa
Vidic Laursen
Evra Eboue
Hutton A Traore
Cahill Lampard
Modric Fabregas
Bullard Young
Adebayor
Bent
Camara

Team Value 48.4
Transfers Left 22

Reasons
Man Utd defenders too expensive,its a bonus they have no game today.

Van Der Sar Almunia. Cheapest top four keeper.
Ferdinand Arbeloa. Cheaper than Dossena.
Vidic Laursen. Scores goals.
Evra Eboue. @ 3.4 seems worth a gamble. Might not start all games but good potential for partial CS.
Hutton A Traore. 2.9 for a Portsmouth defender playing in midfield.

Cahill Lampard. Must have
Modric Fabregas. Must have
Bullard Young. Must have

Respect to the tortoise huggers out there.
