Ok boys clearly it seems Torres wasn't the way to go but no need to laugh at me, as i said I'm brand new to this. I have got in Lambert for him who seems a solid option?

Hey guys, first time EPL fantasy player and have done a few hours worth of solid research to come up with a team. Most players I have only heard of in a talent sense rather than fantasy, so will be interesting to hear your thoughts on my team.Szczesny, (Boruc)Reither, Rat, Coleman, (Collins, Clyne)Bale(C), Hazard, Silva, Snodgrass, (Kacaniklic)Bony, Torres, Van Wolfswinkel.Obviously defence is ridiculously cheap but I know in this game from just looking at the scoring, as soon as the opposition scores a goal there goes the points, so you may as well go cheap there with the inconsistency. Mids and fwds look strong, but I'm cautious choosing both Bony and Wolf as we don't know how they will adapt to the EPL.But anyways, I mostly just talk researched crap so let me know whether my team is any stock at all!
Just out of interest VSA what was your final ranking for last season?I'll start offering some of my own advice when we get closer to the start of the season for those that are interested in hearing it

Anyways, I have also decided Anelka is a ridiculous bargain and must have, at least for my bench.
How do players rise in price? Playing around with formations etc won't be a problem for me as I'm an experienced A-League fantasy player so get the base of the game, but the price changes are really what interest me...

You had a great season last year. did you see it through to the end, or let it wane as SC took over? I ended up about 125,000. Not great, but a couple of years ago I set myself to learn how to make money in this game, the year before played around with formations. Last year was my first time putting all of my learnings together.What was really pleasing was the back end of the year for me. From GW18-38 I averaged a tick under 70 which is the pace you need from the start. Just got to do everything I did last year, but from GW1.

Just got to do everything I did last year, but from GW1.Ah nice effort finishing there, considering there are around 3 million people or something who play the game it's a great effort!Yeah I had a pretty good season myself last year, but didn't really see it through to the end. I mean I would check on it, but never really did any more trades, I think I did only 1 or 2 trades in the last 10 rounds. Because of this it saw my ranking slip from around 5000 (high point of 2000 something) down to finishing at 20,382nd (you can check your exact rank by clicking on gameweek history if using same email). Starting with players like Michu definitely helped me get such a high ranking as no one knew who he was until a couple rounds in, so that gave me a leg up Averaging just under 70 is a great way to finish! For the entire year I averaged 57, which I was pretty happy with Hopefully I'll have time to do some proper research before the season starts, but looking at the promoted teams there isn't really many players standing out as must pick players...
