Yeah I think so. They're from Norwich and Bournemouth.

Trying to avoid United players till October/November.
Can you have just 2 defenders?
Thinking of going with this. I know Sanchez mightn't play so I might take him out for week one and put him in when he's back. I'm going to wait to see if he's any closer to starting.
You can use the option of 2 defenders once only. Not sure it is wise using it the first week though. Kind of think that all three of the new options are better used when a number of teams are playing a double gameweek.
Walcott and Giroud are messing things up for me at the moment. Would like at least one of them in my team but not sure if they're ever going to start at the same time.
I thought your user name had to relate to your username on here so we know who is playing.
Come on Dangleberry Town AFC!!!
Would anyone be interested in playing for money? Like just a few quid entry fee and then split the money among the top 2-3 at the end. Might keep it a bit more interesting.
There will probably be a good double gameweek twice this season as well, like it's been the last few years. Will save the 'triple captain' option and the 'bench boost' for these.
I would, but collecting the money is a bit of a drag with these things. If you're willing to do that, I'm in.
According to Wenger, Sanchez won't be featuring in the first 2-3 games.

Thinking of getting in Chamberlain. With Sanchez definitely not playing in the first few games, he is nailed on starter and most likely to give points as well.
Me too. I'm a lazy swine though, someone else will have to do the work.
Thinking of trading Rooney and Sakho (or a midfielder) when Aguero's back to get him in.
So after another few changes currently looks like:
Ive got 3.5mill spare for when Sanchez comes back, who will replace Depay or Walcott, coupled with changing Benteke for Kane after we have played them. Or i would bring in Aguero possibly if the team is getting points.
Gone for a cheap defence of full backs incase they get assists and two cheap goalkeepers because I don't think they make a huge difference most of the time - you can get lucky with cheap keepers.
TOP TIP: Im betting Walcott starts upfront for Arsenal so should get a fair few goals which would be very decent for a midfielder. Abit pricey though.

Walcott could be a great shout actually. He's done very well for me (albeit very briefly) a few times over the past few seasons, and that's when he wasn't even considered for up top. You've just got to keep an eye on his injuries though.
I just don't know whether Giroud will start. Seemed he did more against Chelsea than Walcott did during the 90 (bar the assist). Maybe Wenger might go with the Frenchman.
Yeh but either way i think Walcott will start with Sanchez still out, i hope anyway. Ox looked good too but more likely to start as back up i think if its a choice between him and theo but i could be wrong. Don't think Wenger would drop Ozil so could be Cazorla who loses out perhaps if Giroud does come back in. We'll see.
Both Cazorla and Özil are 100% nailed on starters.
How do you guys get the 3 defenders? Is that just the one week option, or am I missing a setting?
Just sub a defender for a midfielder or striker on your bench when picking team.
Got it, cheers.
I don't think I've ever spent this much time fiddling with my team preseason before. So many midfield options it's making my head hurt!
Good idea, if you set it up I'd say a few people will join. Think everyone else is too lazy to deal with the money themselves.
Haha, I was kind of hoping someone else would take the idea and run with it themselves but I guess I could do it. Everyone can just send it to me on paypal or if a mod wants to hold the money. Should we actually run this by mods/admins before doing it?
Well up for that. How many people we got in the league? £10 sterling a head?
Was just looking through team names on the caf league, a lot of "who ate all Depays". The worst was "TopBanter#word"... please reveal yourself.
Anyway, my final team I think:
Surprised only 1.9% have picked Lloris when he's .5million less (5m). Might have to change him for De Gea should he turn out to be shit.
I've got a million spare so considering swapping Kane for Rooney, but could end up being a diabolical move. I changed my whole team around so I could have decent subs rather than the cheapest ones.

I have no clue about what I'm doing, neither am I likely to change players in or out. :P
Ah thanks for that.
For the first few games I could bring in Cazorla for Sanchez. This would leave me with enough money to bring in Rooney for Pelle too. Leaving me with this
Would it be worth making that change and forgetting about Sanchez altogether. Or is Rooney a risk? Considering Pelle has scored 6 goals in pre season to Rooney's one. I know, Southampton's opposition weren't great, but still.
So Sanchez and Pelle or Cazorla and Rooney? Which will get me more points?
Don't worry, I'm not in the caf league, so all advice is appreciated.
Who is the defending champ?
What's the league code?
I won one of them. There was a public and private league though, so no idea who won the other.
How do you post a pic of your team? I'm an idiot.
It's in the OP:
I'd imagine most people are just screen-capping their teams and posting the image.
The easiest way to do it is to search for the 'Snipping Tool' app in Windows 7 onwards, or use Command-Shift-4 on OSX and select an area (the resulting image is saved to your desktop).
gone a bit defensive?
Courtois
Ivanovic Koscielny mings
Hazard Carzorla Depay Walcott
Benteke Lukaku Berahino
Is Depay really that good a shout this early in?
Selected by one in four teams already...
