Managers of the Round Table – Fantasy Premier League 2014-15
We have gathered up six prestigious members / writers around Mito’s Round Table to answer a few quick fire questions in the lead up to the opening of the FPL season. They have been asked to make choices over some of the same key questions many of us are currently facing. As one would expect we got a wide range of varying answers, everything from a unanimous decision on formation to six different choices for Flop of the Year. See what our esteemed panel answered and please share your answers and views below, including that tricky last question. And don’t be shy; they sure weren’t when expressing their man crush.
Below is a self-described introduction to their FPL playing style.

TheDreamers
Somewhat surprised with Rose getting a 5 year contract.
Raziel
Arsenal fans are loving it. 😉
TheDreamers
Poch comments implies Davies is Rose’s competition.
Playing games?
TheDreamers
Bertrand is 5m? Ah that’s crazy.
Raziel
Was he 5m when he still was @ Chelsea?
TheDreamers
Dunno. Never really had looked at him.
bihom17
Yes I checked last night. The prices will never change before GW1.
I guess they were forced into making him 5m, as when the game was launched he was Chelsea’s only specialist left back.

Evening all what’s everyone’s thoughts on having a cheap 3 FWD still 3-4-3 ?
Burnsy
I’m still going with that, It’s just hard trying to find the best 6.0m striker. I’m still deciding on Austin or Jelavic/Long.
Cookie
Silver good evening, I stopped tinkering with players and formations at the start of the week!! Don’t tempt me to start again!!
What are you going with ?
Silverback
Hi Cookie still toying with the idea of going with 4 strong MF & 16m FWd also give me better options @ back
Cookie
I love playing with 3 proper strikers
NIN

Hahahaha yeah that pretty much sums up my head at the moment!!!
NIN
Haha, thought as much!
NIN
Silverback – I would say it’s very high risk to go with a cheap strike force. Extra defensive points wont come anywhere near making up for the big (c) hauls of strikers.
Silverback
Hi Nin my FWD are Rooney , Costa & @ the min Lg with 4 big MF my thinking is Hull have Lmore , Hstone & Snods behind him & he will play thoughts
NIN
Ah, apologies, i thought you meant going with three cheap forwards! haha. A cheaper 3rd option is probably the way to go to balance out the squad a bit. Long/Jelavic, Diouf, Gomis and Campbell would be the better options at 7m or less, for me. If WBA don’t sign a striker then Berahino could be a decent 3rd striker also. He has a good record for a youngster.

Whos Lg, Louis Gaal ? :big-lol:

Danny Rose signing a 5-year contract suggests to me that Ben Davies is no longer nailed on at left back. Calling the Spurs backline is actually quite tricky.
Here’s a general question for you lovely lot: do people prefer two top top (top) defenders and 3 to rotate, or is anyone going for a rotating 5? I think the latter has more potential to (a) free up cash for use elsewhere, and perhaps (b) generate income if you get lucky with CS points and price rises…
I will refrain from posting lists of players just yet…but I think the latter option is possible (especially thinking based on the rotations article, e.g. the Swansea-Stoke-Burnley rotation, plus the Newcastle-Sunderland one, with De Gea keeper…)
NIN
Pippin – This time around i’m going with one premium and two pairs of rotatable defenders making it a strong all round defence and as you say, hopefully build up some value as the season goes on.
As for Davies, i think he’s fairly nailed on despite Rose’s new contract. I think Rose was OOP anyway, more of a mid if i remember correctly.
Cookie
Bertrand starting for Southampton tonight.
