It's getting closer....you can hear the cursing, the thumping of feet on turf, screams of pain as shins and ankles get swiped from late challenges....
Goalkeepers?
You can't go past Mignolet for value....he earned points last season and he's behind a better wall although slightly adventurous. Petr Cech will have to come into calculation as Chelsea play 2 games in the first week both home to Hull and Villa.....seemingly 2 to 3 goals spreads with no leaks!
Where's the cream?
Swansea are a good attacking team under Laudrup but their first 6 games are going to bloody test their resolve? You'd think the EPL punished them for their swashbuckling manner last season?
ManU ->SPurs->Baggies->Liverpool->Palace and Arsenal.....boy what a challenge.
On the flip side you have Southampton's relatively easy start. Baggies->Sunderland->Norwich->Hammers->Liverpool-> and Palace....all very enticing encounters. Which midefielder is going to offer more assists to Lambert and Rodriguez? Puncheon, Lallana? Wanyama was Scotland's young player of the year before his move. He can score goals and bully opposition. But how bad is Luke Shaw injury? The attacking defender is key to Southampton's season.
