Yep, for at least one or two games. Bale is also officially not playing against Palace

Fulham has snapped up Darren Bent, so it's a good idea to drop Berbatov. Also Arsenal are legit not going to sign any forwards so Podolski and Giroud, both at 8.5m, might be decent purchases. Chamakh at 5m might not be the worst signing too...

The fantasy website is the only place I've seen he's injured, and think he'll play. Half our squad is carrying some sort of knock, and we only have like 15 senior team players.

I'm on mobile right now, so I can't screenshot or anything, but I think I've finalized my squad for this Saturday:

Mignolet
Heitinga - Kompany - Zabaleta - Koscielny
Paulinho - Navas(V) - Kagawa
Lukaku(C) - Soldado - v. Wolfswinkel

Szczesny - de Guzman - Fer - Rangel

This is my first year to try this. I'm putting a lot of faith into new transfers. I'm in H2H4 as Bakers Grove FC.

Chadli - Siggurdson - Lennon behind Soldado with Paulinho and Dembele holding for now. Once Sandro comes back to full fitness we might move to more of a 4-3-3 and push two wingers further up the pitch but I'm not sure which of the front three AVB will drop out yet, but not Chadli I believe

Have arrived at this, although it may change before the first kick off.



[edit] gently caress it, is Walcott really injured? Going to swap with Hazard, at least until the double gameweek is out of the way.

To be honest, I'm considering changing my team up again. RVP will once again be the ManU front-man, and unless he gets injured I expect him to be near the top of the scoring charts again.

Also, I'm not sure about Mata this season - Mourinho likes to play fast counter-attacking football, and Hazard/Schurrle will probably be favoured in the wings.

My Medel/Lugano picks were purely from my FM series experience lol - I don't watch La Liga as much and honestly have no idea how well they will play in the Premier League (though knowing a bit about them, expect them to do ok).

I've been loving with this all day. At one point I had Michu and Bony, but I bottled it because of their early fixture. Fully expect them to do over United tomorrow now.

Hopefully that will be a very productive midfield. I've avoided Spurs and City for the moment until it becomes clear who is going to be doing the scoring for them. My bench is mostly a big pile of poo poo.

I've put Johnny Howson in my team. Just hope he doesn't go to Madrid now.

Bale getting left out of the team has totally screwed me over though. I guess I will just keep some cash in reserve to transfer him in and gamble that he won't get sold.

20 goals in 40 games for Watford in the Championship last season? Not a bad punt for 5.5. Better one than Anelka I would think. People are ga-ga over him but he's 34 and managed a whopping three goals in China.

Edit: Okay, looks like Anelka's had a hot streak in pre-season. Fair enough.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
I think Anelka will come out of the blocks flying, before becoming completely anonymous after October.
