thats what i thought but his quite a experienced player so I would have thought he be 1st team most of the season? I would get lampard and gerrard but they are so expensive!
reckon ballack will get 1st team action most of the season?
It will probably take Rosicky a while to bed in though, might be worth transfering in later on in the season but i definately wouldnt start with him until we know if he can hack it.
Ballack will probably play a fair % of games but i doubt he'll feature in as many as Lampard.
Looks very weak up top Rebel.

Chelsea need to alter their formation to include Shevchenko, like Mutu and Crespo, ex Serie A strikers are notorious for playing poorly whilst they adapt to the english game. He might be worth a transfer mid season, depending on how he plays.
Rebel - How did you manage to get a squad like that for £100m?

Very cheap subs and a fairly budget strike force by the look of things 
Is it any advantage to have good subs? As i want a strong starting 11 and my subs will be muppets but they will play for the clubs still.
Also is it better to go for 3 at the back and 3 at front? If so why or if not why?
I'm thinking of going for 4-4-2 but i'm just wondering what people think.
Thanks

Ithink 4-4-2 as good defenders can be solid point scorers, but I'm staring to think about moving onto a 3-5-2 now seeing as parker is so cheap forsome reasonshould be a permonent fixture for newcastle.

I'm just not sure if the defenders will score more points than the strikers.
I think somewhere on this thred it was said that a striker may score a hat trick but then not do anything for a couple of weeks. Where as a defender could rake in a lot of points if there from the likes of chelsea,liverpool, man utd ,arsenal,
what formations can you have as i can't see them yet as i've not picked my team yet.
442 352 343 any more?

This is harder than i first thought!
Well so far i've got
Renia
Terry
Carra
Dawson
gerrard
Lamps
Rooney
Berbatov ( have a feeling he'll do well)
Is it better to try and get a a couple of defenders from the same team? Or split them all up?
Just know liverpool and chelsea will keep a lot of clean sheets.
For starters don't spend out loads of a keeper, they don't score enough points, I won the ocuk league by a country mile (if I do say so my self) and never had a keeper worth more than 4m.
Also players like Terry ain't worth the money, why not just buy Gallas, or Cole (when he goes)? He'll probably score identical points over a season to Terry but will save you half a mill to a mill to go somewhere else.
Soon as nearly all of defenders points are from clean sheets I always try and save money in defence by buying non-star players from teams with decent defences. This especially applies to finding 2 cheapo defender subs.
I agree, at 8m I reckon Berbatov could be a great buy.

Yeah good advice. I'm desprate to beat my work mates in our league at work!
Was looking at mendes 5.5 as he seemed to do well when he got back from injury for pompy. So many choices and ideas brain overload!!!!!!

One tip I would give you is to stack your defenders. By which, I mean try and get defenders/goalies from the same clubs, as putting all your eggs in one basket allows you to reap bumper points hauls when they get clean sheets.
OK, so if they ship a load of goals, then you will lose a few points, but in FF leagues you have to take risks. It's better to finish 1st or 10th than 5th or 6th.
And of course the most important thing is to be sure that all your players will play every week. A few years ago I got burned by taking Bergkamp (he was cheap) who didn't play in quite a few matches.
