    Fantasy Premier League 2016/2017

    I've started a new league for us. Code to join is: 25543-74007

    Winner gets a biscuit.

    To start things off this is my current draft:



    Rashford is a place holder for Negredo. Or possibly Gray, Wilson etc
    Benteke is there if he joins Palace. If not I'll go with Long there and use the extra cash to change Tadic to someone else.

    I tried to make a team yesterday but my eyes bled and I think I might now be dead.

    Any idea how much Negredo will cost?

    I'm pretty happy with my team at the moment and if Negredo's no more than 7m I'll be able to get him in for on of my placeholders. Also, since you started this Andy it reminded me that I needed to ask if you have any idea wether Long or Austin is a better bet from your lot?

    @Andy btw apparently Mourinho has told Jones and Smalling they will start as the first choice pair.

    It'll be Long. Although there's talk that we may play two upfront, in that case I'd go with Austin because he will take penalties of he's on the pitch. Wait and see what we do in the pre season games.

    Was so fucking hard to make the team when I tried earlier. Really want Zlatan in there but it feels a lot like a pure emotional decision so might not be a good idea. Martial as a midfielder seems like it's a bit of a steal.

    I'm wondering how United will line up, but an attack of Martial - Zlatan - Rashford might be happening actually. Then again, didn't Mourinho explicitly say he wasn't going to play Rooney as a midfielder? Although to me it seems to make the most sense to play him behind Zlatan as an attacking midfielder, if he's gonna play.


    Anyway, I reckon Andy has kind of the right idea in going for players that weren't prominent/featured in the Euros, and to go more for star players of smaller clubs rather than the big ones.

    I'm also staying completely clear of Spurs, I think, as I don't think they will be able to handle CL that well and also Kane & co must still be pretty knackered.

    Doesn't really make sense that he's cheaper than Mane and Coutinho, you'd expect him to score the most out of the three of them.

    Jay Rodriguez and Bojan are both worth keeping an eye on, both 6-6.5m midfielders this season.

    With some of the players that are classed as midfielders this year it's a little tough but I've come up with this for now:

    Toggle Spoiler


    I was torn between making the forwards weaker to get more star power in midfield and vice versa. Ended up with a medium between the two I think.

    Foster, Heaton

    Coleman, Walker, Kone, Wollscheid, Souare

    De Bruyne, Ozil, Sigurdsson, Coutinho, Hojbjerg

    Aguero, Defoe, Negredo

    Quite happy with that.

    Might change Coutinho for one of the Chelsea midfielders. And might change the 4.5 rated defenders too as there are loads of decent options in this area.

    But I won't be making too many changes before the season starts.
    Toggle Spoiler


    Kone is an awesome pick at 4.5 and should be an automatic selection for all managers.

    Just did my team, but I expect to change it a fair bit before the season kicks off. Negrado at 6.5m seems like a bargain.

    The Timebombs have arrived

    Cech, Victor Valdes
    Bellerin, Clyne, Walker, van Dijk, Cedric Soares
    Ibe, Eriksen, Kouyaté, Townsend, Willian
    Aguero, Giroud, Negredo

    Agreed on Negredo, @SvN - my concern is that Karanka only plays one up front, and Negredo hasn't started any pre-season games yet. I'll keep an eye out.

    I'm not so sure on Vardy this year. I think teams will be playing Leicester very differently this season and the loss of Kante and possibly Mahrez would hurt him too.

    This is the year that Walcott becomes a man. No injuries, should be fresh after missing out on the Euros and a first game against fucking Moreno.

    Southampton buying Jeremy Pied as a possible RB has scuppered my plans a bit, as I'm now thinking of ditching Cedric Soares (who hasn't played in pre-season yet) and bringing in Luke Shaw.

    And if I do, I'll have to change a few other players to free up the money.

    Same could be said for Oxlade-Chamberlain and Iwobi tbh.

    The problem with Walcott is that he's been playing in too many positions throughout the years. He should have been a forward, and just kept working on his strenght and specially his touch, and he would have become good at that. As it is, he's best in this weird Wide-right-forward (not quite a winger not quite a striker) role, because he'll get decent space and time for his finishes.

    Whenever he plays up front, like he has in the friendlies it seems, he's invisible.

    Doesn't look like it:

    Which IS kind of weird, actually. Anyway, it's a little hard to know how Arsenal will start the season I think. But Iwobi - Wilshere - Oxlade behind Walcott might be possible. It's like the Injury convention.

    Thats even better for arsenal. I thought iwobi would have been in brazil for sure. Reports claim that arsenal blocked the move. Thats savage.

    Hah yeah. That said as Iwobi, what are the Olympics to getting some serious playtime at the start of the season and a chance to prove the level he showed last year is actually more than a fluke?

    Olympics is a bit like the Confederations cup anyway, it doesn't really count.

    An olmypic medal is one of the most prestige medals any athlete can win. Watch your mouth.

    I was talking to my mate about the Olympics the other day and we agreed that if an Olympic gold medal isn't the highest prize for the sport, it shouldn't be included in the games. Rules out stuff like Tennis, Golf, Football, and so on.

    Not in Football it isn't, it's like a fake tournament. What the fuck kind of idea is it to have u23's only in something that is supposed to be the pinnacle of Athletics? It's like telling the Tennis players they have to use smaller rackets than normal, or something retarded like that.

    That's fair enough, I can agree with that.

    Football really shouldn't be part of it, OR it should be like Handball where it's probably the most prestigious medal you actually can win in that sport.

    It appears to be subjective based on the sport. Winning a gold medal in boxing is a mega deal. If you win a gold medal in boxing, you're worshiped as a god.

    In my opinion, it is the most prestigious medal you can win given the probability of you actual winning a medal. World cup comes around every four years and during the career of a football between the ages of 16 and 36 (career span of a lucky footballer) , you could go to three or four different world cups if you are lucky. Qualifying for the olympic tournament given the age restrictions, can only really happen once. Twice if you are lucky.

    Because you have to be an amateur boxer to do it. It's basically proof you can go pro. Now if they were to have only amateur players at the Olympics, I'd watch that.

    Ayala might be a good bet, he was first choice last season. They have signed a couple defenders, watch out for Barragan from Valencia in the first few games.

    Valdes in goal? Presumably he'll be their no1.

    Ayala's the most expensive one but he does score a fair few goals I guess.

    Barragan as in Antonio Barragan of once at Liverpool fame? I always thought he was half-decent. Him and Ayala donning the league with our shambolic defence doing the opposite would be quite funny. Throw Mikel San Jose in there as well and maybe Lord Benitez was on to something. Shame he never played them.

    I usually forget about these by about game week 2 but I quite enjoyed doing it for the Euros so might give it a better crack this time.

    Valencia seems decent value, am I missing something?
