I got Agbonna for 1.5 as my bargain basement defender

You lot were ****e without him last season, I'm hoping he plays...unless he's injured?

I hate to rain on your parade, but he was playing most of last season, and I haven't seen anything in pre-season to say our defending has got any better than the calamitous approach to it we had for most of last season, when he was in the side. As a West Ham fan I wouldn't touch any of our defenders. If we get Carvalho (which I think is along the similar lines of our Balde bid, not a chance of happening but good PR for unsold ST), who will protect them better than either Noble or Kouyate, maybe. Our sudden up turn in form was mainly due to Adrian returning after being dropped for months, which I think was a bit scapegoating as it was obvious he, quite rightly, had lost all confidence in his headless chicken defence being able to protect him, of which Ogonna was a part of. It also depends on how we line up, Fonte was bought in to replace him as he needed an op in Feb, but I think they'd probably work as our best CB pairing. We may even continue with a 3 man CB line-up, that way at least 2 of them can ****-up.

Cheers Ern, I always go attack heavy when it comes to my budget...so got to risk the odd cheap player. Got Chick Pea upfront as my bargain player though to balance it. He's a natural predator and I fancy him to get a few.

I go attack all the way generally, as I'm not tied to having people play in their positions I have 5 wing-backs, 5 attacking midfielders and 3 strikers., usually play a 4-5-1 or 3-5-2, good strikers are too expensive to play a 3-4-3.

Huddersfield worth their lead

Hope you at least draw games! Fourteen players when you include the keeper I presume?
