...such as projected First XI, youngsters who may get more than a couple token appearances, and the like.

Does this exist anywhere on the web?

I've found a few EPL previews, but they're all very vague in terms of who's going to get playing time.

I'm trying to piece together my EPL Fantasy Team, and I'd like to actually pick guys who'll play. I'm still having nightmares about the year I went out and spent a ton of fantasy quid on Arsenal's Richard Wright.

so just go to www.mfc.co.uk and u may find something u are looking for.

...and this was done off the top of my head after I just woke up, so I apologise if I've made any massive blunders.

But this is an example of the sort of thing I'm seeking for each team:

ManYoo:
Expected First XI:
G-Barthez
D-P. Neville, Ferdinand, Silvestre, Brown
M-Giggs, Veron, Keane, Scholes, Beckham
F-van Nistelrooy

Other Key Players:
Butt, Solskjaer, Forlan, Fortune, Chadwick, G. Neville

Liverpool:
Expected First XI:
G-Dudek
D-Carragher, Abel Xavier, Hyppia, Babbel
M-Hamann, Gerrard, Murphy, Smicer
F-Owen, Heskey

Other Key Players:
Litmanen, Diouf, Riise, Berger, Henchoz


Basically, I just want to know who's going to play to start the season and who's going to sit the bench, assuming no more transfers. (Which, I know, is a poor assumption.)

ok...heres the boro line up....

Schwartzer

queadrue(left) Ehiogu Southgate Stockdale

Wiltshire/Greening Boeteng Juninho/Greening Gerimi

Boksic/Juninho Maccarone


(boksic and wiltshire are the 2 that could be wrong....the rest are as it will be bar injuries and boeteng not signing)

[mcfc]

go on clubs forums and speak to the fans mate
if that dont work nowt will

[kerpow]

yeah, it's a bit tricky reading football managers minds.

The new signings are unpredictable aswell. Will they be the next Kevin Davies?

[BrianCappellieri]

*Boateng

[kerpow]

EFC should be

Wright

Yobo(if injured - Weir), Stubbs, Unsworth, Naysmith

Alexanderson, Graveson, Junior Rodrigez, Pembridge

Rooney, Radzinsky


But I wouldn't advise you to fill your fantasy team up with Evertonians

Could be worse.

I could stock up on players from Birmingham City.

Although I am eyeing Stern John. When he's on form, he's a world-class goalscorer. It's just that he's been off-form and injured the vast majority of the time he's been on that side of the Atlantic.

Thanks for your help, guys. Hopefully I won't do anything quite as dumb as buying Richard Wright last season. ("They have to play him! They spent six million pounds for him!") That was ugly.
