Grab, Avoid or Bore off!

Our first installment of Grab, Avoid or Bore off for the 2015-16 season is ready. For those new to the site, it is a simple question and answer segment that covers everything from the serious to the absurd. So why do we call it that? Tradition, is the easy answer as we basically have veered so far off course that we look like a Tiger Woods tee shot. So glad to get the fellas back together as they offer their opinions on everything from going without Haz & Kun to Giroud’s choice of underwear. So without further ado, let’s ask our “experts” some questions on the minds of many and some on the minds of none.







Mitro
Morning all!!!
Think I’m getting a bit closer to finalising my team.
What do you think?
Ant0800
Wouldnt you change Fab > Sterling/Yaya

Mitro
I don’t think you need Fab as you have Haz and Cost. Go for City coverage,
And if anything happens to your first three defenders I think you are done for. I’m sure those two sub defenders are non-starters.
Andy
+1 on the defenders, the three that you’ve got in the starting 11 have never played a game yet for there clubs yet either so they all carry a risk warning, I’d probably downgrade Depay to inject a little bit of cash into it if needed.
Have to agree with Ant as well Man City coverage is a must, they score too many goals to avoid offensive coverage.
yaco
Guys thoughts on my team ?

yaco
I don’t think that is too far away at all.
Distinct lack of City though. So I’d either go Costa to Aguero with a tweak elsewhere or Hazard to Silva.
Morgan appears to be a worry due to his heavy summer involvement with Jamaica.
NewbDoe
Heylo everyone

It is very hard to fit in agu
Btw which one more promising henso or milner?
And whixh is the better combination:
– giru mane or kane sigg
Any suggestion would be much appreciated
Thank you fellass

Milner and Henderson are very closely matched. It really is personal choice unless more information comes to light across the rest of pre-season but both will play at least most weeks so you could switch if you need to.
As you don’t have any other Arsenal, I’d go Giroud and Mane. Southampton have some nice fixtures early in the season so Mane could be a great selection.
Burnsy
I’d take Giroud, Mane personally, both are very good pairings however.
NewbDoe
thank you GP and burnsy..
giroud mane it is! hopefully giroud didnt lose the position as the first team.

Doe, way to much money spent on defence. I would lose Courtois as double Chelski defence isn’t needed, get a cheaped option, Coleman has tough fixtures so i’d change him. You strikers are a tad weak, think you need at least 1 of Kun, Costa or Shrek.
NewbDoe
thank you elleffcee for the suggestion
i really wish I had 2 or 3 millions more to spend on.. lol..
lemme try to revise someif possible. i really want to fit in kun tbh. but it will ruin my whole team.
oh ya and btw who is the shrek?
elleffcee (ex champ with a potty prize)
Rooney.
Burnsy
Thoughts? Still considering GK rotation and defence investment, also looking at Wally’s cost/benefit vs Cazorla/Ramsey
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
Burnsy
I personally would go for two playing 4.5 GKs who defintely play. Personal taste but there are a few good options.
I like the options you have in your defence. Morgan could be a worry.
If Walcott played every week I’m sure we’d all have him. I’m on Ramsey just now. Really like the look of that attacking seven.
Burnsy
Hmm I’ll look into that, perhaps Ruddy and Schmeichel and then a 5.5
I’ve been considering Everton defence for a while now, whats your thoughts on them GP? If only Stones was 5.0m :p
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
Burnsy
Unreliable usually mate. Coleman and Baines attacking returns and the odd goal from Jagielka aside, they don’t ever really inspire clean sheets for me so I never lean towards them unless they are about to have a really good run of fixtures and even then it’s not a certainty I’m go for one of them.
MattX
Morning Guys. Just seen the Galaxy result and Robbie had a blinder. Not doing the MLS fantasy but am a bit more interested now that Stevie and the likes have gone over.
One quick question? Should I have the 2 Norwich goalkeepers or should I downgrade Ki or Mahrez to Arter or Pugh at 5.0 mil and upgrade Rudd?
Kop Warrior
Always 2 playing keepers for me Matt.
MattX
Cheers Kop. You wouldn’t have Mitos Goalkeeper rotation chart handy my phone didn’t save the picture?? I’m thinking Ruddy and Boruc but not sure.
Who is the best at 5.0 I’m thinking Arter but is there someone else??
Kop Warrior
I probably should, but unfortunately I don’t!
Do you plan on playing your 5th mid? If not I’d just go for a 4.5m player.
MattX
That’s grand, I’ll have a look back I think it was on the United players article.
Well the plan was to have a Ki/Mahrez rotation as I think they rotate brilliantly and I’m just not sure on the 4.5 mid I just don’t like it as they are usually defensive mids that don’t get points.
Kop Warrior
Makes sense. Personally I’m not a fan of rotating either mids or forwards.
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
MattX
This mate?
MattX
Ye usually my forwards are constantly on unless injured or suspended or if my 5th mid has an easier fixture than a striker. It’s the mid I switch depending on fixture.
MattX
That’s it cheers GP. I’ll have to try and save it now.
Kop Warrior
Morning all,
Only 3 weeks left!
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
Of the cricket? 😉
Kop Warrior
You’re loving it GP

You’ve rumbled me!
