The 4.5 mill. defender thread 15/16

Post by thekrumcake »

So there are no known 4.0 starters apparently. That forces us to pick up a few 4.5 ones and I was hoping people would share their thoughts on which ones they're going for. I've been on Fpl vacation, so I don't even know who the expected starters are for each team...

Will contribute after I'm more up to speed :smile:

You may find reading through the Defensive Gems thread useful, though it now seems to moved on to a general discussion about defenders instead of just sub 4.5m-ers, which is where it started out. :)

I've got Huth, O'Shea and Francis at the moment - but I've swapped and changed a lot

Liverpool Gomez has been added for 4.5mill - could be interesting.

Currently on Ward, Matthews and deciding on a 4.5 Newcastle defender

Ming my only one at the moment - although Cameron and Whittaker have featured in some drafts. Ward on radar when Palace fixtures look nicer (GW7-ish)

Francis and Huth at the moment for me - Gomez could be an option or maybe a downgrade to a £4m defender if one becomes available.

If anyone is thinking of having a cheap Stoke defender, Muniesa is your man.

If Muniesa really looks like starting, then Muniesa, Huth, Ward looks a solid 3x4.5 rotation to me.

He will be first choice centre half with Shawcross, fitness permitting.

I think the order is Kaboul, O'Shea probably narrowly over Coates, with Jones probably over Matthews too at RB. Kaboul certainly looks the most nailed-on, anyway.

Gomez is definitely of interest as he's had a good pre-season tour so far. Huth also raises an eyebrow. Personally I'll be steering clear of Sunderland players.

Huth, Francis and Sunderland for me. The Sunderland representative is currently Coates, but will most likely become Kaboul if (as expected) he proves to be first choice.

And thanks, Liquidfootball, I try my best! :lol:

Francis, Kaboul, Muniesa, Whittaker, Morgan for me right now.
1 or 2 million left (depending on Sterling or Silva) so I might upgrade one of them nearer the day if nothing else looks pressing. Or just bank it in case Costa/Rooney -> Aguero is unavoidable.

Early fixtures mainly I think. All the top 4 in the first 8 games, plus trips to Swansea and West Ham.

Fixtures. Really tough start for them. May be worthy of consideration form GW9 onwards, although the likelihood of more new defensive recruits is also off-putting.

Ok.

I just checked West Broms squad and I wonder if you know anything bout Gamboa, right back. Costs only 4.0 mill. Will he get minutes, anybody?

And isn't Coloccini injured at the moment? I read something like that.

I am set on Huth, and currently have Kaboul and Francis to accompany. Coloccini has a terrible run of fixtures to start. Sunderland's are great, it is just a matter of which player for me.

+1. Exactly this for me too.

Only as things stand.

But Koeman has said they're looking to bring in 1 or 2 centre backs, so he won't be soon.
