One of the main reasons why the Mail is my favourite fantasy game is that it's not just about picking the highest scoring/value players but about how well they fit together in terms of fixture rotation. Nether the less with only 100m for 15 players, we need to find some good value and hidden gems from somewhere. Here's my early thoughts, but i need some help.
Defenders.
Coleman EVE 4.3m
Terry CHE 5.7m
Taylor NEW 3.4m
Lovren SOT 3.8m
Rat WHM 3.3m
Midfield
Bo Kyung CAR 4.0m
Gibson EVE 4.8m
Coutinho LIV 8.0m
Zaha MUN 5.1m ?
Ramirez SOT 6.1m
Adam STO 5.0m
Shelvey SWA 5.1m
Paulinho TOT 6.5m
Nolan WHM 7.1m
Forwards
Kone EVE 8.3m
Bony SWA 6.6m
Rosenborg WBA 4.8m ?
Who's the best on my list, who shouldn't be there, who have i missed?

Re: Value Players
Good set of posts CP. The Mail game is up there with the best but TFF still edges it for me.
I think Bony at £6.6M is a no brainer and I've also used a mixture of Lovren, Rat and Bo Kyung. I hadn't noticed Coleman was so cheap so thank you.
Fernandinho at City could prove to be a bargain. He always looked very handy for Shakhtar in the Champions League.

Re: Value Players
Personally I wouldn't start with Bony, swansea's first 7 consist of 3 big7 homes & 4 aways. Not only is that likely to impact on scoring/assist points, but also the valuable 3pts per win. I think you're better off lining him up for an October transfer. Having said that of course last season I had 3 swans on my bench for the opening day in FPL (my 4 subs that day outscored my actual 11).
I watched a lot of Shaktar on the red button last season as I backed them to win the Champions League (not my best bet ever). So any player than shined in that collection of disinterested mercenaries has to be a decent player. The only reservations are how sure is he to play and how far up the pitch.

Re: Value Players
Good point and I'll probably start 4-4-2 with a view of swapping a midfielder to Bony (4-3-3) after the Swansea's difficult start.

Re: Value Players
There does seem a real shortage of obvious value players this season. I'm having to consider quite a few players I don't really know anything about I'm assuming Paulinho is a guarenteed started so you can't go too far wrong there. Zaha, Adam, and Shelvey really depends how much action they're getting, ones to keep an eye on maybe. I wouldn't consider Gibson or Taylor as they're certain to get injured.
Coleman I like but if you're having Baines do you really want two Everton defenders? Alcaraz is also very cheap but will be a starter?
I was planning on George Boyd as a cheap one and Miralles as a mid price value one but they're both down as forwards I like Whittingham at Cardiff but he's not even that cheap. I'm finding this the hardest game to put together a side I'm happy with and it doesn't help with Bale and Rooney still hanging around....
