If he is still there at the start of the season...

It looks very likely that he'll miss the first few games now. He's been ruled out for 3 months, apparently...

Hmmm. Maybe Real will wait till January then, it's only usually Villa that buy injured players! :biggrin:

Ashwins XI - TI-84

need an opinion on the team:

Hart

Sagna Evra Carragher

Fabregas Barry Jenas Elano

V. Persie Elmander Agbonlahor

Not a bad team assuming nobody gets sold or injured in what remains of the preseason.

Oh, and I would get Carew instead of Agbonlahor. Gabby's the more flashy player, but Carew will consistently get more points (although I don't know their respective costs).

Yeah.
my only concern was whether Elmander will actually get to play from the word go.
and i might be wrong but i think Carew is a tadd more expensive than Agbonlahor.
I'll check though :smile:

thanks.

I'd prefer Agbonlahor than Carew to be honest.

My first draft:

Reina

Dunne-Evra-Gary Cahill-Bosingwa

Young-Ballack-Fabregas-Tim Cahill

Torres-Ashton

Don't get me wrong, he's a better player. But Carew scores week in, week out, whereas Agbonlahor doesn't that often.

Ashley Young in midfield = pick, pick, pick. About time tbh.

Maybe, but agbonlahor did better last year and got more assists. Carew might have had an injury though I think...

Would Carew take penalties for villa if Barry left? If he did he'd be alot more tempting.

He was my very first pick, even ahead of Torres etc. Great minds :cool:

Heh, I wish my mind was as good as yours when it came to these competitions! You do well consistently, whereas I consistently suck :sad:

Maybe this year is my year? :awesome:

I think you mean when Barry leaves? :p:

Carew did have an injury, but he also hit a purple patch at the end of the season and did very well for the last few weeks.

And he probably would. Can't really think of any other out and out penalty takers to replace him. Although Young always wants to take them when they are training before a match...

Trouble is they have whacked his price up to 8.5! That said he was a steal before!

I've picked a temporary team which looking at it is quite strong, but I need to spend some time considering my options once transfers have gone through. :teeth:

Same here, I had fun initially looking through all the players, but you can't really finalise a team until everyone's in place.

That said, does anyone know if the price of players can go up from now to the start of the season? For example, when Barry moves to Liverpool, will his price suddenly shoot up? (Could be worth putting him in just to make a bit of money :biggrin:
