    We need to buy a world class defender asap, knew it was risky to go into this season with only four central backs.

    I hope he can get consistent playing time, either at Tottenham or a different team on loan.

    Well, we got Holger back, I think he will anchor the defense. Holger and Boateng, with Dante as backup. I guess we should have extended Daniel van Buyten for another year. Not sure there is too much great quality on the market at this point...Godin would be one player I would like.

    La Liga - Real Madrid will win this... UNLESS Suarez goes off and becomes the first striker to mesh with Messi.
    EPL - Too much talent for Mourinho to not win this... It is sad that there are so few English players on this team. Liverpool though, that's a truly English team and if Sterling makes a leap they can challenge again.
    Serie A - I'm looking for Pogba to make another leap to Galactico status.
    Bundersliga - Something weird is going on at Bayern, but they're just too talented.
    Ligue 1 - Falcao might go to Madrid leaving no one to challenge PSG.

    Champions League - Too unpredictable... Both Madrid teams, Barcelona, Chelsea, Liverpool, Bayern, and PSG can all take this.

    First Striker to mesh with Messi? Heard of David Villa?

    Moy has a squad too talented to win? Hmmm I've heard this story before lol.

    As a Madrid fan, I'd love to see Suarez mesh with Messi exactly like David Villa did. I don't want Suarez to come close to 30 goals and I'd love to see him play out wide and become less threatening. I know he got hurt, but he was not the same player he was at Valencia.

    As for Mourinho, I get that he's polarizing, but the EPL is his thing and Chelsea has a legit striker now. They almost won without one.

    Ugh. They are sending Deulofeu on loan again. I really wanted him on the team this year.

    Zabaleta
    Caulker
    Ward
    Hazard
    Ramsey
    Puncheon
    Noble
    Bony

    Any good?

    Depends on the prices of the players and what point system they are using.
