How do I view other the other managers' teams in EPL fantasy?

Other teams can only be viewed after their first Gameweek has started, to allow managers to keep their team tactics secret.
To view a team, simply click on their team name in the league table.

Here is my current squad (Squad/Formation) will probably change between now and Gameweek 1:

GK: J. Hart (ManC)
LB: G. Clichy (ManC)
CB: A. Williams (QPR)
CB: R. Shawcross (Sto)
RB: A. Cole (Che)
LM: J.S. Park (QPR)
CM: N. Dyer (Swa)
CM: Yaya Toure (ManC)
RM: M. Arteta (Ars)
CF: W. Rooney (ManU)
CF: L. Podolski (Ars)

RES GK: M. Schwarzer (Ful)
RES 1: G. Cahill (Che)
RES 2: P. Crouch (Sto)
RES 3: L. Britton (Swa)

 

[jethro11]

I'm in:

GK: Vorm (Swa)

Def: Ferdinand (QPR), Evra (Manu), Shawcross (Sto), Coloccini (New)

Mid: Etherington (Sto), Moses (Wig), Silva (ManC, VC), Dyer (Swa)

For: Cisse (New), Van Persie (Ars, C)

Res: Al Habsi (Wig, GK), Graham (Swa), Duff (Ful), Williamson (New)

I'm relatively happy with the line up. The Cisse-Van Persie duo is my trump card.

Not being rude but why would you want to run a comp if you have no idea what it is?

Running a comp seems like it could be a bit of fun.

Hart is a good choice. He ticks all the boxes. A very capable goalkeeper in his own right, but he's bolstered by a strong defence. Additionally, he'll never cost you points, and the chance of him landing clean sheets is high, just because the rest of his team are so good.

But your backline? You have two teams who will leak goals. They're going to cost you points. You should always have a City/United/Chelsea player as a defender. It's simple. Those teams concede less goals and so you'll be raking in more points. Even if you're going for the "nah, Gallas might score!" mentality, well, that's warped. I can't see Kyle Walker netting too many this season. There were some great steals last season who kept clean sheets and also scored some goals. It's not hard to find out who they were.

Not a bad midfield. Some consistent point-getters.

But Torres? You serious? The dude is a flop at club level. In Fantasy Premier League, all names do is cost you money. You won't get points for having Fernando Torres as a striker. A striker will pay dividends when he scores – something ol' Torres won't do. Suarez is a poor choice.

I'll upload my team when I get back home. I'm interested in seeing some of yours, as well.

Lawyered!

I'm just trying to help him.

Those who played last year will know how good Baines and Jagielka were. Everton have Man United to start the season, so they're gonna sit out the first game. Ryan Taylor was another star from the last campaign. I doubt he and his Newcastle side will repeat their season. But, he's relatively cheap and should net me a few points. JT, despite being a prick and a massive racist, is always good value. With Chelsea a good chance for the title, they shouldn't leak too many goals. Tomkins will be replaced by one of the Evertonian lads a little later. His West Ham play Aston Villa, which should be a good game. He was strong last year for the Hammers and I have some faith in him.

Modric, Silva, and Bale are my prized assets. They all represent clubs capable of finishing top four. With their goal scoring tendencies, they're central to my chances. Brett Holman is a smokey – an underrated footballer, and one who's relentless style could flourish in England. Noble is a workhouse and the kind of bloke you'd want at your club. But will this equal FPL points?

Podolski... Hrm. I'm really hoping he plays some good football, but I'm not holding my breath. Swansea's Danny Graham is the Welsh clubs best forward. I reckon the Swans will be struggling this year, so his goal scoring might be restricted... I'm thinking about my forwards still.

Yeah, I hope he goes well this year (both for this and 'cause I'm an Arsenal fan). But because he is an unknown quantity that is why I spent that little extra and went with Rooney as he is a noted high scorer.

The Boomers uniforms look horrible. The collar is disgusting.

 

[Marlowe]

Wish the Boomers were with Nike.

Patty Mills, blinding the opposition with his shoes was a nice move.

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!
