*****The OFFICIAL OCUK 2016/2017 Fantasy Football League*****

[KingOfTheDaves]

Current team set up is:

GK - De Gea
Def - Stones, Bailly, Mee, Morgan
Mid - Mahrez, Mkhitaryan, Eriksen
Att - Kane, Long, Costa

Bench - Schmeichel, Xhaka, Fletcher, Daniels

Toughest choice is that 3rd striker. Costa did nothing last season, but Lukaku only has a 75% chance of playing whilst the likes of Zaltan and Aguero are out of my price range. The other option is Vardy but I'd have to find another half a mill.

Given that Southampton sold Mane and Pelle, the only strikers they still have on the books are Long and Austin (both 6.5m). Both cheap and both should easily hit double figures in goals. I went for Long as I can see more assists than Austin.

 

[XeNoN89]

Firminho looks to be playing as a striker. So may get amongst the goals

What about Origi though?

 

[K1LLSW1TCH]

GK - Butland
DEF - Monreal, Barragan, Funes Mori
MID - Mkhitaryan, Mahrez, Tadic, Silva, Kante
ATK - Aguero, Musa

SUB - Jakupovic, Afobe, Paredes, Pieters

 

[Brabbinho]

What about Origi though?

That we will have to wait and see. Personally I'm avoiding the Liverpool midfield for now.

 

[CliffyG]

My team currently (god knows what revision!):

Butland
Friend, Bellerin, Daniels
Townsend, Sane, Gradel, Sanchez
Aguero, Negredo, Kane

Subs are all cheapest I could get.

 

[WithMyApologies]

I've gone all in with Sanchez, Pogba, Aguero and Ibra. Doesn't leave much cash, but I'm pretty happy with the squad.

GK: Heaton/Butland
DF: Cedric/Morgan/Stones/Pieters/Amat
MF: Sanchez/Pogba/Drinkwater/Gradel/Boyd
ST: Aguero/Ibra/Long

My only decision is whether to keep Long (6.5m) or swap him with one of Austin, Wilson, Negredo or Llorente who are all the same price.

There does seem to be an abundance of choices to make this season, and I've lost count of how many times I've changed the team so far

 

[Rage85]

not many seem to be going with willian at 7.5, any reason?

 

[utajoker]

have joined, thought this auto joined your previous years leagues tho.

have joined, thought this auto joined your previous years leagues tho.

Well i started the league last year, but couldnt find the auto renew thing, and by then id started the new league. So i deleted the old league.

Clear as mud i know

Do your keepers rotate well? I haven't checked but personally I'd try to shoe horn a 5.5 keeper (DDG) and then just sit a 4.0 on the bench.

Austin still isn't nailed on is he? A better option would be Gray, he was impressive pre season.

 

[Chonky]

I've gone with

de Gea
Valencia - Stones - Walker
Feghouli - Tadic - Mahrez - Fabregas - Erikson
Llorente - Aguerro

Kone on the bench with some other cheapies.
Have some money left over, and would like Ozil once he is fit again.

Spoiler

I *think* that's my final team.

 

[Josh]

My team, hoping Fonte & Lukaku start.

My team, hoping Fonte & Lukaku start.[/QUOTE]

Bit risky having 5 out of 13 outfield players not certain to play. He who dares, I suppose.

After posting my 'final' team yesterday, I've changed it [I]again[/I]. I broke and brought in Aguero.

'New' Final team

GK - De Gea
Def - Stones, Bailly, Mee, Morgan
Mid - Mahrez, [I]Shaqiri[/I], Eriksen
Att - Kane, Long, [I]Aguero[/I]

Bench - Schmeichel, [I]Kante[/I], Fletcher, Daniels

 

[CliffyG]

My team currently (god knows what revision!):

Butland
Friend, Bellerin, Daniels
Townsend, Sane, Gradel, Sanchez
Aguero, Negredo, Kane

Swapped Negredo for Musa as Leicester are playing Hull.

Then swapped Sane and Musa for Vardy and Drinkwater.

Think I might finally be done:

Butland
Friend, Bellerin, Daniels
Townsend, Drinkwater, Gradel, Sanchez
Aguero, Vardy, Kane

Top strikers are overrated.

DDG

Bellerin Morgan Bailly Smalling

Mane Eriksen Ozil Silva

Musa Lukaku

Crouch, Schmeichel, Mikel and Oxford on the bench

I think Musa is going to be really good this season. Bags of pace and looks handy with it. Lukaku should do well with a decent manager to organise the team around him. If he goes to Chelsea all the better.

I've always sucked at FF so this season will be no different

 

[Artery]

I expect it'll probably change a lot before it's gotta be in but at the moment I've got;

GK - Butland
DEF - Alderweireld, van Dijk, Matip, Shaw
MID - Eriksen, Payet, Mkhitaryan, Gradel
ATK - Aguero, Wilson

SUB - Pickford, Oxford, Albrighton, Valencia

Does anyone have a Sun Dream Team too?

 

[WithMyApologies]

Pogba suspended for the first game.

Swapped him out for Alli, will bring him back in for GW2.

Austin still isn't nailed on is he? A better option would be Gray, he was impressive pre season.

I did consider just having one main GK, but rotating seemed to work well for me last season, so I'm going to stick with it.
Definitely considering Gray though, I'd forgotten about him.

 

[Leaffy]

Count me in;

De God
Azq Terry Stones Walker Shaw
Fabregas Firmino
Muso Ibra(c) Long

Subs A Keeper, Townsend, Sigurdsson, Delofeu
