In the interest of keeping traffic up on the board, and mainly because I keep switching out my picks and having second thoughts about my team, I figured I'd start a thread devoted to fantasy discussion.

A few topics to begin with (mainly because they concern my team):

- Is Joe Cole worth the 9mil for a pickup? He's an attacking minded mid (I believe) next to another attacking minded mid in Gerrard.

- Is it smarter to field a 3-5-2 over a 4-4-2?

- Will gerrard be worth his 11.5mil?

- Who is going to make the most noise/points at each position? Basically who is the "must have" player?

If we're talking the Barclays Premier Official game, then the big points come from attacking midfielders, the big names (Lampard, Gerrard, Fabregas) will usually pay off and if one gets injured it's not hard to switch to one of the others. However there's a lot of value to be had further down, Parker is a bargain at only 5.5, Malouda and Arshavin are also worth looking at. Up front it's different, the best value tends to be in lower priced players, i.e. Bent, Rodallega, Crouch

I think there is much better midfield value than Cole. Midfielders get most of your points b/c they get points for scoring and defending. Cole won't score enough goals, IMHO.

I think it's always safe to get one big value midfielder (Gerrard, Lampard, Fabregas, etc) b/c they'll either get you big points or you can drop them, pick up a ton of cap space, and pick up a guy who's increasing in value (Malouda last year, for example)
