re: 2015-2016 TD Premier League

Vicks - thanks for doing these - interesting to see someones thoughts.

This may be the only team in the league with a goalie situation I do not feel good about. Sunderland will hemorrhage goals this season and Foster is out. Pantilimon finishing in the top 10 would be a success.

So, Pantillimon was pretty good once Dick Advocaat took over, and I assumed a continued hard working defensive posture to start the season. He got a 123 points last year playing 2/3 of the year. I figured by the time Sunderland replaced Dick with someone else in November, Foster would be back in a Tony Pulis defensive team. It was the thought, and it has not worked out well

Teammate defensive players could work big, but it looks like this is the year Terry won't play the whole freakin' season and that Ivanovic has finally been figured out a litle. I'm sure they'll settle in and get me some good points, but it doesn't looks like what it could/should have been - remember they have scored well for years, so last year was not an aberation.

Milner had an absurd amount of points the last time he played 3,000 minutes (184 points) and scored a few pre-season goals for Pool. If we start playing with a true 3 man central mid-field, I like his chances of getting a good bit of goals an assists.

Rooney seems to follow up a down year with a great year. It was a down year last year.

All in all, my biggest concern right now is that my risks involved guys on the later years of their career for the most part. Terry, Ivanovic and Rooney were my first three picks, and all three could end up subpar.

I think my biggest flaw last year was not doing much of anything in the weekly windows - my biggest regret being I hesitated picking up Giroud, ended up missing out of him, and really could have used him.
