New Signings – Fantasy Premier League 2015/16. Juanmi
Well after getting my arm twisted just a bit, I joined in on the new signings fun. I present to you Juanmi. Is he really deserving of an article and with picture included all on his own? Probably not, but this is due more to my laziness than Juanmi’s talent. Besides I have to go colour in some trackers and what not. So here you go fantasy fans, we present the giant Juanmi.
[clear]Juanmi
Southampton
Age: 22
Position: Striker-ish
Signed From: Malaga

[/three_fourth]Juan Miguel Jiménez López also known as Juanmi is a 22 year old who has just joined Southampton. He said his life long dream was to play for a big club when he signed with the Saints, hmmm, guess that is still a goal not yet accomplished. Juanmi scored 8 goals last season in La Liga with Malaga and got his first senior squad call up in March for Spain. There is a lot of things to like about this young Spanish international. He goes by one name, he is Spanish and he is small. We all know that the only good Spanish players are small, so he can’t be all that bad. It remains to be seen where he will be played by Koeman. Striker seems to be his preferred position, however he can play all along the front line if needed. Also will be interesting if the rigours of playing in the EPL will make it tough on him to adjust quickly and show some of his best qualities. Expect to see a pacy player with good movement off the ball. Surprisingly good in the air, but one could argue that his headed goals are due more to his movement than the ability to outmuscle or out jump any Shawcrosses.
Fantasy outlook: A wait and see option. At some point this season he will be given a chance to prove himself. You know Shane Long will be out with some sort of injury, probably his wrist tape being too tight or something will put him out several weeks. J-Rod is coming back from a devastating injury and Pelle has been mentioned among those who suffered from one of the worst droughts ever recorded in history. At only 6.0 if he is given a chance maybe he can be a J-Rod type from two seasons ago and prove to be good value.

Anyone else thinking Wilshere at 6m could be a good call? Played well towards the tail end last year and should get more playing time this season. Is he a starter though…..
A true professional, I so go for it.
He probably won’t be starting regularly unless there are injuries to any 2 of Ozil, Ramsey and Cazorla.
HAHA love the picture. Thanks guys.
Probably a stretch too far, for me. As Andy said, there’s a good chance it’ll take an injury to someone else before Wilshere gets regular game time.
Woops! Meant Bihom, not Andy.
Sorry for all the questions guys but,
1) Does anyone know if Ben Turner will start for Norwich
2) Will Falcao fit into the Chelsea team anywhere if Costa is fit
3) Anyone know any 4/4.5m players who are starters and last but not least….
Surly Kane can’t have a season like last season can he?
full time
1. As far as i know, Turner is backup. Russell Martin at 4.5m is a good deal. He is capable of attacking returns, which is good.
2. Unless the Radamel Falcao of a few years ago returns, then he’ll play 2nd fiddle to Costa.
3. 4m is a price that currently has 0 options. The 4.5m’s are plentiful, you’ll pick up on the popular ones from other people’s RMT’s but, for now, Martin, Sunderland defenders, Mings from B’mouth seem good shouts for 4.5m.
4. Hard to say. At the very least we know he’ll be first choice and spearheading a pretty decent attack. Might not hit the dizzying heights of last season but i reckon he’s still a very solid pick.
Hi All, i think this is the best i can do to compensate for not having Aguero. What do you think any advice pls. I am thinking this should be my last draft for now. lol
I like this team a lot. If Aguero isn’t fit enough for GW1 then you will find it easy enough to get him in when the time comes, what with the two 10m + strikers. Yeah, this is a solid squad.
NIN, Thank you very much, I am glad you think its solid. I will continue monitoring transfers and pre-seasons and review nearer the start of the season
:thumbup:
Anyone up for reading a little Grab, Avoid or Bore off? We have it in the kitty ready to go.
Hell yeah!

Saying that to a Colombian is one hell of a risk 😉
Yep, i wouldn’t mind a read before i head out for a bit.
Ah good point, let’s try again.
Crack on with it Mito.
