    De Gea and some 4.0 keeper.
    Surely you're worried about having no keeper? I see this as the worst option available.

    Not to worry! In De Gea and Cerny I trust!

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

    But I might change that before the season starts.

    A couple people had this problem too. Did you try typing it out instead of the c & p method. Make sure there are no gaps, should work.

    I think I am almost there.

    Can't decide on which two goalkeepers, plus a midfielder and a striker combination but the other 11 seem pretty locked in.

    Approximately none of them will appear in GW1 for me no doubt :facepalm2:

    I don't know why people waste money on a back up keeper tbh.

    Hart, Reina, Krul etc will all play every single minute of every single game next season probably.

    Well there tend to be more clean sheets if using rotation. My concern was over De Gea; he could easily be rested or miss games, so he could spend an extra 0.5m to get cover for this.

    So either:

    a) Spend money and get a keeper to play every single game (only Hart or Cech for me)

    b) Rotate two cheaper keepers (but this is hard to judge at the start).

    Whereas Unwise was owning two keepers, one of which will never play, and the other could easily sit out games. Lindegaard actually came in for a few of Utd's easy home games last season.

    Since there's a big keeper talk, i just want to say De Gea got more points per game than hart last season. He made more saves than hart despite playing 9(?) less games. He now has Vidic as a defender, who i think, when playing, let one goal in over 5 games.

    So De gea is 1mil less, and better basically xD.

    I'd also like to point out Mignolet. He's 2mil less than hart and got 0.2 points per game less than him. o.2 times 38 games is 7.6. So 2mil for 8 points!

    Obviously these are just figures and there's more behind it, but definitly worth having over hart for an extra 2mil. He was injured for a couple of months last season and thats why he's so cheap.

    He was initially my first choice keeper but swapped for De Gea because i had some spare moneyz!.

    So, if you have hart and a 4mil keeper, consider this. De Gea and Mignolet. both equal the same price.

    Mignolet is overlooked. He'll be the Vorm of this season!


    My new plan could be to have Mignolet and the fulham keeper. Both 5mil, everytime one plays a top 5 team, the other plays a crap team, so could be a plan! whats every1s thoughts on this?

    Yeah, you're right. Think I'll bring in a 4.5 keeper instead.

    I have Hart and Ruddy for keepers. I judged this upon the fact that Hart is likely to get a lot of clean sheets whilst playing a lot whereas De Gea might not play as much. Plus Ruddy is only 4.5, and he's different to a 4.0 goalie because the 4.0 goalie is much less likely to play but ruddy will play a lot yet he's only 0.5 more expensive!

    List of entrants currently in the league who are below the 500 post count limit. Everyone else is safely in:

    Mcnubn - the orange tree - Brian Doheny (404)
    Narcissist - Narcissist TSR - Black Sarcastically (464)
    jordltfc - Jord FC - Jordan saunders (100)
    Rodcarter - Queenspark strangers - Roderick Shalalala (286)
    clau.dia - Claudia cheng - lfclfclfc (8)

    The number in brackets indicates the no. of posts people have at the time of writing, so you can see how many more you need by the end of September to stay in the league. Gone to a bit of effort to do this
    If anyone has any questions, spots a mistake e.t.c., just PM or quote me.
