Answer 1

Not bad at all. I'm putting a fantasy league team in myself, so this is quite interesting. Your team is quite different from mine, but not in a bad way.

Your defence looks fine apart from Wes Brown. Not sure how many games he will get, because there is a lot of competition for that place. You might want to use him as one of your subs.

The strike force of Rooney and Keane is good, but look to see who else is available for a similar or better price. There's three or four players who will probably score more goals this season and will cost less. Just look to see who scored more goals in the premiership last season.

The midfield is a bit of a minefield though. I've had difficulty too. I'd have Kranjcar in the first 11 instead of Malbranque. Bentley will probably do quite well, but have one of your strikers as the captain (more points that way). As for Davies and Downing....I wouldn't pick them.

Buy the cheapest subs possible. You could save money by exchanging your four subs for the cheapest possible players available in each position. Hopefully, you won't have to use them, but you can always transfer players if they get injured.

You could save 4.5 million on your subs by my reckoning, and use that to buy better midfielders than Davies and Downing.

Good luck. Hope you do well - but not better than me!
