Anyways my squad is in, can't help but find some of the money values somewhat contrived - no forwards for less than 5 million... hmm.

I have been thinking lately if Chelsea want to spend big bucks on a midfielder in a role Essien would probably fill, wouldn't they better be better of getting a more proven player like Gattuso for less money Chelsea are willing to go to for Essien and has some experience in the British game and the British lifestyle (ok I know it was in Scotland) and would know better English then Essien (I have heard him speak it and I could barely understand it so he is better talking in French) so is likely to fit in much more quickly then Essien would?

Essien is good but IMO not worth that sort of money, some clubs are laughing all the way to bank in some of the extreme prices they are willing to pay for players who probably IMO not really able to justify the price tag.

It's all to do with the way strikers get more points relative to midfielders and defenders.

I had Ashley Cole in for a while, I had 2 goalkeepers and 5 defenders in and had 54 ish left and was slightly perplexed why they were all cheap relative to the budget... then I got onto the midfielders and forwards. Anyway had to get shot of the only CDM player and spent exactly 100 million, I've not played this before so I have no idea as to the strategy - I imagine other people might have gone for 3 forwards or 5 midfielders.

I've picked a provisional side, but may change it several times before the season.

I try to pick 2 or 3 bankers (regardless of cost) and look for bargains from the rest.

I've got 3 from Chelsea, so there are my bankers I suppose. Obviously you have to have one expensive 200+ points a season player to make as captain as well. For that reason (amongst others) I hope Henry (minnow-basher extraordinaire) has a duff season.

Unless something fairly drastic happens, Chelsea will win the Prem again fairly easily. United for 2nd, Arsenal for 3rd.
Cant disagree too much tom, but i feel United can upset Chelsea this season..
