which one of the promoted teams do you think will stand out?

West Ham have been an established Premier League club longer than the other two but I think that Southampton will be the surprising package out of the newly promoted three.

Lambert, Sharp and Rodriguez - not established in the Premier League but good finishers, we'll see if they cut it. They could be like Norwich last season, poor defence but Holt's goals made sure they weren't in danger.

Anyone going to consider Carroll if he goes to West Ham?

No.

Colbert's right. The Olympics have had an effect on the no. of people joining the league. Not that many so far, with only 2 weeks left till it kicks off.

[mr tim]

Even I hardly go on FPL possibly because the season hasn't started.

They do have until Sept to join for classic league, and 2 weeks to join H2H.

[jamboogy]

There's a decent amount in the league tbh, it'll be fun. I can't wait.

Not changed or looked at my team for a while, going to be looking at it just before the season kicks off and the Olympics are finished.

Anyone know when Bale is expected to be back.

He was playing in a game after he got 'injured' so i'd presume he's back now.


Mclean or Pienaar? Hmmmmmmm!

He's fit again apparantly.

I always use this site to check, it's usually more accurate than the fantasy football one and the dates help you plan out future transfers.

Finding it really hard to choose which goalkeepers i want. Anyone else in the same boat? Who are you going for?

My recent tinkerings have led me through the following:

DDG/Fed
DDG/4.0
Cech/Fed
Cech/4.5
Jaas/Begovic

All valid but all equally poor. DDG may not be first choice and United have no defenders fit, whilst Cech is too expensive and Chelsea are leaky anyway. The Jaas/Begovic is awful as Stoke's poor fixtures mean banking on West Ham for much of the opening months.

I am aware that your dear friends are harping on about Davis/Green or Freidel/4.5 but I am equally unconvinced by these.

Might just go home away rotation with Hart and De Gea

I can never tell if you're serious

Agreed on all those points. Might end up going with the tried and trusted Vorm/Krul/Mignolet combo till atleast wildcard time. Only problem is that those teams also have defenders who are cheaper than their GK counterparts.

Federici has been in all my drafts so far though. Mostly because of the lure of the DGW, wouldn't look at him otherwise.

De Gea and some 4.0 keeper.
