My Sun Dream Team transfer window 3 team if I could start again

Sun Dream Team

Just to help you with your transfer thoughts here’s my Sun Dream Team transfer window 3 team if I could start all over again.

GK

Begovic (£1.5m)

Goal keepers don’t really feature in the Star Man or highest point scorers so its not worth over spending. However remember that you get deducted a point for a goal after the first conceded so there’s no point in just putting in a Villa or Reading keeper.  Stoke are the best defence outside the elite teams and Begovic is the 4th highest scoring GK after Cech Hart and Lloris and is an absolute bargain at £1.5m

Defence

G Johnson(£4.0m)

Liverpool and Arsenal are the best defence behind the City defence and Johnson n my mind the best attacking defender in the league.  They’re also in the Europa league and hopefully will overcome Oldham to be in the FA Cup.  4th highest scoring defender to date.  has an injury doubt which needs monitoring.

Gibbs (£3.5m)

As  said above arsenal despite what pundits say statistically have the best defence with Liverpool after the City defence.   Gibbs is pretty nailed on to start most games after the fiasco season that Santos has had.  They’re in the FA Cup and will get at least 2 games in the Champions league.  Some way down the rankings partly due to injury but Arsenal have good fixtures and he’s the best choice.

Azpilicueta (£3.0m)

Ivanovic is the better points scorer but Azpilicueta scores in individual games haven’t really been that different.  Seems to have the faith of Benitez.  The entire Chelsea defence apart from Cole is a rotation gamble but Azpilicueta is £2m cheaper than Ivanovic and £3.0m cheaper than Cole so he’s worth the gamble.  Chelsea are still in the FA cup with a good home replay to Brentford and in the Europa League for extra games.

Zabaleta (£4.0m)

The City defence got off to a slow start especially in the Champions league but they’re firing on all cylinders now and statistically the best defence home and away.  Coverage is a must even without the Europa league.  Only Kompany is safe from rotation and he’s a ridiculous £7.0m.  With Maicon and Richards injured with no return date Zabaleta has the RB spot to himself.  Has a bit of an injury doubt but should be ok for the Sun Dream Team transfer window 3.

Midfield

Bale (£5.5m)

4th top scoring midfielder and a on his day one the best midfielder in the league.  A standout player in the Spurs team which gives him star man potential.  Also in the Europa league even if they are out of the FACup which AVB will want to win.

Mata (£5.5m)

The top scoring player up to  Sun Dream Team transfer window 3.  Also has the most star man awards.  Makes Chelsea tick and is the most involved player but also plays high up the pitch for assists and goals.  Chelsea is in the Europa league and the manager will be desperate to win a trophy avoiding the reserve team scenario.

Cazorla  (£4.0m)

I could have gone Walcott here but he is slightly too expensive and there are still some shadows over Walcott in that with Giroud firing he maybe moved to the flank.  Also Cazorla makes Arsenal tick like Mata does and we will hopefully see more goals as he still seems to be maintaining that advanced position.

Forwards

RVP (8.0m)

Do I need a justification? Total quality.

Aguero (£7.0m)

Has had a succession of injury problems and careful rotation that he’s only 17th in the striker league. Even Giroud has more points.  however lets not forget that this guy is total quality and will be the main striker as they chase Man Utd with everyone rotated around him.  has the FA Cup but not the Europa league.  Its a leap of faith but in some ways its not because he’s one of the worlds best strikers.

Sturridge (£3.5m)

A bit of a gamble here and as an alternative you could have Ba (Ive wanted to avoid doubling up on teams in the attacking sense, eggs and baskets etc) or Lukaku.  However with the Europa League and the FA Cup assuming they beat Oldham plus service from Gerrard and Suarez and with him occupying that furtherest forward central zone then there should be plenty of goals.  One drawback is he’s more of a selfish finisher rather than an all round player which mean mean he could be ignored by the Sun Dream Team ratings but he has got 3 7’s in his first 3 games which is a start.

If you’re new to the site I’m 19,538 overall out of an estimated 1 million managers up to the Sun Dream Team transfer window 3.  I also only have 1 team.
