Predictions - how much will Pedro cost? 
I imagine he'll be considered as a forward for us so I'll say about 9.0.

Notice that Cedric Soares isn't starting at RB for Southampton tonight. "Martina" is.
May be a sign to make a change

Shite, he's not injured is he? I've got him in my current draft.
I found this which is quite useful for seeing who's in and out of favour in preseason - seems Cedric didn't play the last game either.

That's incredible... Who has the time to put this stuff together?!
I won't get a chance to change my team again, so this is me done for the opening game:
For a change I've gone for no real stand out star, but a strong level throughout the team. If this fails I'll be using the wildcard early

Think it's just the one. @limerickcitykid was talking about a paid league but nobody wanted to take responsibility for all the money. Don't think there's head to head league.
I'll handle the money if I have to. We'll have to skip the first week or two to give people time to sign up.
@Damien would it be alright if I set up a league for money? Thought I should run it by the admins before I start collecting money off of people.
Best to contact Niall but I don't see the issue as long as the people who donate understand the risks and don't hold the caf liable if the money disappears (not saying you'll do a runner or anything, but you get what I mean)
Cheers, sent Niall a pm.
Could I do a separate thread for it and what forum should I put it in?
Would still like to see a head to head league. It can start the second or third week of the season if it is too close to kick off to go for Saturday.
When is deadline?
I'm in! A1 crop job there on my behalf if I do say so meself.
Just seen it's: 8th - 11:45
Benteke or Kane is proving a pain. And Memphis or Ozil/Ramsey.
One player a lot of folks are missing out on is Payet. A lot of West Ham fans are purring about him and after the first game, I would be looking to draft him in too, depending upon how he plays.
Thats my team for the moment.
I looked at Payet, but at 7.5 I think he is priced to high. Other fantasy games have him at a more reasonable price.
Ozil or Ramsey & Wanayama or payet is what I am wondering. Also I have a about 6.5 to spend and 1 midfielder to buy.
He'll probably be a good player this year, but I cant see him getting more that 120pts. Henderson is 0.5 cheaper and more likely to be a better scorer. People too often pick new players to the league who they imagine will do well, rather than the players who consistently rack up the most points year on year.
See a lot of people going for Berahino. Think you need to factor in Lambert signing for them and it being a Pulis team.
6.5 - Puncheon or a punt on Mahrez?
Wondering if I should go with Adams. His set pieces might come in handy. SAF did say they were worth 10 million alone
Do people think it matters to have home/away balance in your team? By coincidence, 10 of my starting 11 are all at home this week. Probably means I'll have a good first week, but poor second week when they're all away from home.
Hence why I am waiting for the first few games. We will have a better idea of what's gonna happen then. Also, he comes with a good record into this league and played very well in the pre season. That's a decent indication.
As for Henderson, I believe Payet would be closer to the goal compared to him, hence a better return. Also Henderson is meh!
Not at all.
Is there a H2H league?
Should I create one, if not?

My team was similar to that before I decided Hazard ruined the whole balance. He also doesn't start seasons too well. Chamberlain might start the first few games but will be benched as soon as Giroud plays. No City coverage?
Think I've remade my team entirely about three times. It's part of the fantasy pre season process.
Is there a head to head league?
Yep. And it's inevitable that someone who's been in and is now our like Lukaku or Ramsey will score a brace and get an assist.
First year i play that game. My team:

Word of advice. Improve your midfield. Stats indicate that most points come from midfielders.
Don't have any money left and Cazorla, Eriksen is not to bad, not shure about Sigurdsson and Colback. Can i still change the team? Any advice what should i do?

If Cedric isn't starting surely that means he's resting him for the PL match at the weekend?
You can make as many changes as you like before 11.30am tomorrow.
As already advised, I think most people will go heavy with big point scorers in midfield. Ideally look for MF players that play as forwards for their club, Walcott & Depay are obvious examples. Look for midfielders who take set pieces, FK's & Corners and in some cases penalties (Cazorla).

You can change as much as you want before the first game. It's only my advice, do as you please.
Cazorla - sits too deep for my liking. Wenger said he will play Özil as his number 10
Eriksen - not too shabby
Colback - won't get you much points, will probably get a bunch of yellows in the process
You should try to structure your team so your best XI is fully fielded in a 3-4-3 or 3-5-2. Midfielders, as I said, are your biggest assets. I would downgrade your defence and use that money to get one or two better midfielders.
