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.

Chins and bellies Planner. If in doubt, I save my FT. Like the odd punt. Do what the country music tells me.[/one_half]

Evening all . . .
How are we?
Evening GP, good thanks mate, how you doing ?
Happy. Content. I think.
Can the FPL start tomorrow, would make it easier that is for sure?
Don’t think the Hull result/team told us too much tonight really. Typical cagey away performance going by the updates I was following. Golden chanced missed by Huddlestone though. Wonder if he will still be on the penalties come the league season. I do think Hull are too risky to select from unless you are going McGregor, Long or Jelavic so I may pass.
coming to that conclusion myself – always wary of the Europa leaguers anyway to be honest. often involves long journeys on a Thursday to the back of beyond.
Cookie,
Planning for no Hull coverage now I think, Would only look at McGregor and I’m happy with my Krul/Sunderland rotation.
One of my tips, Steven Davis, has just scored another goal tonight!
I see that GP, I think I had Davis in my draft 3,157.3
Don’t think so Blue, I remember seeing that draft. That was a proper team, but didn’t include Davis….you know
Cooks,
Probably! I think I’ve had everyone at one point or another.
Might not do much better in midfield for £5.0M
Trencin (Svk) 0-0 Hull (Eng) – FT
HULL CITY XI: McGregor, Davies, Bruce, Chester, Elmohamady, Rosenior, Huddlestone, Meyler, Livermore, Aluko, Long
HULL CITY SUBSTITUTES: Harper, McShane, Snodgrass, Boyd, Ince, Sagbo, Jelavic
(60) – TOM HUDDLESTONE MISSED PENALTY !
Rosenior played in midfield … interesting!
Madhatter
Probably wing back so either in a back five or midfield five depending on how you view it.! Wouldn’t expect him to be there all the time bearing in mind Figueroa and Robertson are specialised in that position.
Just going by this http://www.flashscore.com/match/S0sXgmGm/#lineups;1 I currently have Rosenior, just hope he keeps his place and doesn’t get rotated too often
Madhatter
Promising then.
I do hope he keeps his place for you but I see a lot of resting going on at Hull this season.
Anyone RMT !!!
Foster
Luis,Jones,Simpson
Mata,Eriksen,Fabregas,Ramsey
Giroud,Jovetic,Rooney
Bench : Krul,Duff,Mariappa,Bentelab
Looks like a beatable team.
Jeet
Is that Jones from Man Utd or Sunderland?
There can be only 1:

You surprise me Raz, I had you down as a fan of the other Jones:

Sorry mate, your video doesn’t exist (so it says). Anyway, you’re probably referring to the scary Grace Jones? Or Norah? I’d hit Norah… 😛
Aaaah wait, HAHAHA. You mean this guy. Hilarious. I mean ummmm. GOOD SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????? Now I finally know your taste Cookie.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bpezye4xq0
haha I know have an image of you prancing through the snow singing in a high pitched voice!!!
Could be cookster. High pitch voice not so much . I’ll be singing though. Singing beard man that is.
As for music taste, you don’t have a clue, do you? The the 60’s and 70’s are more my cup of tea. Also, old school hiphop and Tupac/cypress hill/immortal technique.
Typing on mobile sucks. The end.
Man U Mate !
Jeet
I think the defence needs a rethink. Jones is too injury prone and his position is not really that secure. I would downgrade him to some Stoke coverage (Huth, Pieters or Bardsley) and upgrade Bentaleb to Steven Davis.
I’m assuming Duff will play but not so sure about Mariappa so have a 4.5 replacement ready.
Hey Jeet – I have no idea who will play at Chelsea but would not bet on Luis starting yet.
Jones – I suspect he will play once fit even if united buy a cb. Simpson, Duff and Mariappa isnt hugely strong but then again should be able to pick one or two if needed.
Very strong mid. Jovetic is Jovetic.
decent team.
Cheers Guys
Tadic and Davis scorers so far
Presume that’s Steven? Lists Kelvin to live score.
Dreamers
It’s Tadic from a Fonte assist and Steven Davis from a Pelle assist.
Tadic and Pelle are involved in all the goals, it seems.
cheers TGP
Raz – whats the scoop on van AAholt? Attacking full back? Conservative?
At first I was planning on getting him, unsure now. I do have Janmaat and he rotates perfectly with this kid. Janmaat can play every week though (except against the bigger teams). Hmmm, well. Van Aanholt scored 4 goals and had 3 assists last season. But that was in the eredivisie. He’s got good dribbling skills and is fast. We’ll just have to see. He’s not bad, just unsure about Sunderland at the moment.
Aaah yes, he’s a leftback but can also play midfield I think. But he’ll play leftback. Not conservative, he likes going forward if he can.
cheers Raz.
Not been around for a bit as been busy with stuff! Anyone else heard West Ham might be making a shock move for Samuel Eto’o?!?!?!
Peaky is BACK!
Hi mate – Allardyce was rumoured to have been seen with him today!!
Only briefly Cookie
Would be some coup for the ammers! Im struggling to get into normal FF this season as my main mini league has gone all Ultimate on me!Will try doing both but its a bit of a job.Im also trying to get an article together about The art of picking a captain in FF,just trying to get some quiet time for a few hours to get some ideas down seems impossible though!I should have something for u lot to peruse by end of the weekend! 
You all set for season start??
Sos mate prob not if I could concerntrate on the one maybe but with Ultimate taking priority my other team might become a ghostie!!
No worries mate, I understand. Shame they’re going Ultimate
I know! tbh I think the person who wins our ultimate mini league will be the person who remembers to ‘tend’ their team the most!!
Yo Pokey, hope your still gonna be dabbling in the doubles with NZ.
yes id forgotten that elle,thats 3 teams!!Its a good job I don’t do MLS or champions league!
