Week 1 - Possible vs Probable

Possible team for week 1.
Reading and Chelsea play 2 games this week.

Cech is a no-brainer. 
Probably will swap Podolski for Tevez or Aguero.
Ditto Fabio and Kagawa, for 2 gamer Harte and Noble/Gerrard/Park/Silva.
Hazard may possibly make way for Mata, depending on team news.

<Updates>
After reading up on some team news and bearing in mind that this is the crucial first week, I have made the following, and hopefully, final changes.

Harte for Fabio - Fabio can wait. No way can I miss out on 2 gamer Harte along with the potential set pieces and penalty points. Fabio will be good barn door material for the coming weeks.

Tevez for Podolski - Not too sure about Podolski. Unproven in EPL and all that. Tevez is a seasoned EPL forward, looked really fit in pre-season, will be playing at home against EPL newcomer and most importantly, release the moolah to capture my next player...


Gerrard (he's getting a new car!) for Kagawa - With Lucas back together with Allen to protect the back four, Gerrard will once again be free! Free to do what he does best! Torment the opponent and score goals, lots of it! See season 08/09, when they had Alonso and Monsterano. He had 24 goals, 54 SOTs and 11 assists in all competitions. I'm hoping he rediscover that kind of form this season.

Still unsure about "dead" Torres...

Some random barn door targets for Week 2 - Lallana, Michu, Garrido, Park, Bosingwa (QPR! News just in!)...

Good luck for the season opener!

  1. A squad look formidable for a top 10 placing. Have yet to finalised mine. Any changes in format from previous years?

  2. Should consider investing in proven Tevez or Agüero instead of Podolski lah.
