Anelka will be a great signing, even at this age.

Chamakh, im undecided on him. He will play either against Hull or Villa. Im guessing Hull so he will have a rest for the Utd game? Dont know to be honest.

Dzeko will have one of the best ratios this season.

There's a reason they kept him, when he looked like being sold.

Is Reina a guaranteed no starter for Liverpool now? I mean, he's still there. Do you think he's just going to be sat on the bench throughout the season?

He's on loan to Napoli.

Feck - How did I not know that. Mignolet it is!

Thanks, he always does well and hopefully this season is no different for the ole veteran x

I went with Cech because Mourinho will keep it tight at the back- also went with Luiz because although he may not be the greatest defender his team will keep clean-sheets and he'll likely score more goals than other central defenders.

Chamakh, good luck.

Inky based on what you said about Mata I've reconsidered and I think you're right. Thus Navas is in, making my week 3 transfer strategy much easier x

Will Luiz even play for Chelsea under Mourinho? He's not played much in pre-season has he?

I think I'm going with the brave decision of leaving Benteke over Lukaku. Just can't guarantee the man will play and with a few Arsenal players unable to play and Benteke having a great pre-season, I'm hoping he can bang in some goals. Saves the 4 points of swapping Lukaku as I don't think he'd play both games.

If he does, I'd be surprised if it's at the back OnlyOneFinFreedman. Lampard will get the nod in front of him for sure in midfield.

Dark, I guarantee you there will be a lot of team swapping over the next few weeks once everyone works out what the starting XI's are.

Remember you have a wildcard to use/. Two actually but one is only active throught the month of Jan but the other one can be used at anytime

If you need to make loads of changes, you can use your wildcard once and make transfers for free. no points get deducted then.

I might be doing that if my starting xi is horribly wrong.

Yeah, I may put him in the team at a different stage. I'm definitely banking on Benteke stepping up and scoring. I can see Chelsea strolling past Hull, but I reckon that Villa may sneak a goal against Chelsea.

Im undecided about our strikers now, its bugging me big time..Since we play you next week, i can see Mourinho resting some of the team against villa.

Likewise 'x' I have reconsidered Mata thus making my defence and attack much stronger.
New team that I wont be changing as cba now..

Cech
Zabaleta Luiz Koscielny Garrido
Hazard Cazorla Coutinho
Sturridge Lambert Benteke

Bit disappointed couldn't afford to bring in RvP without seriously killing my team in few places but oh well :L

That's a great team - I managed to get RVP in but it is at the cost of my midfield.

Exactly Mr Chelsea - It's ridiculous with all these managerial changes, nobody knows who is favoured.

Cheers Phoenix
Can't deny it is slightly disappointing not having RvP or Bale in my team..
Funny thing fantasy football that an Arsenal fan feels disappointed with not including Spurs or United's top players in my team

I agree with Mr Chelsea.. Have a feeling I could be using my wildcard ridiculously early and bringing in players such as Dzeko or Lukaku depending on how frequently they play!

- What I find funny is how little City players I've seen in teams. Don't think anyone has Yaya, Kompany, Hart and so forth. Their price-tags are silly, but apparently 50% of all FF users this season have RVP in their team

Podolski

Not knocking any of the others users teams but I'm not be silly and not have RVP in from the start. He takes Utd's corners, freekicks, penalties and most of the time is involved in Utd's goals. Once he starts scoring, people will put him in and his value will increase making it harder to accomodate him. Best to get him in now rather than later I say

Last season in the first week, 6 Chelsea players racked up 89 points. Can see it happening this season too.

Regardless of price I would've had mignolet over Hart, was every inch the keeper hart was last season yet has now moved to a team where you would expect more clean sheets (plus he is very cheap).

Kompany is silly price when you consider solid and reliable fantasy football defenders like Jagielka, Koscielny and Williams etc are £1m-£1.5m cheaper.

Yaya is just WAY overpriced when you compare his points to his price!!
