The thing with Kroos is that he is super hard to judge. He doesnt fill the stats sheed nor has a massive amount of ball contacts like a Lahm or Thiago, his strenght is more giving balance, having great positional play and his side to side passes.

He played a lot of games recently but you could argue he benefited from injuries. 2012/13 he wasnt there in the end against Barca and Dortmund (Robben was out of the starting eleven, who knows whhat would have happend).
13/14 he played a massive amount of games but in a Bayern team that was enormosly plaged with injuries. In the current roster if anybody is healthy he would battle with Thiago, and Schweinsteiger for 2 and depending on the system with Martinez, Alaba, Götze, Müller for 3 spots in the lineup. Would he play this much i dont know.
Same with the National team is there a starting 11 spot for him with a healthy Khedira, Schweinsteiger and Reus as well as Özil and Götze beeing in shape?

He is great but he is at his best if the system works for him and in a team with Bale and Ronaldo this will not happen. If he would have joined ManUnited and Van Gaal builds a system around him he would be the best player in PL without doubt but i am a bit afraid that he will be there for league games and overall depth and not play in the big games.

thanks for the detailed answer. I actually like him alot as DM, his passes are really good. but watching the entire last season of Bayern, I know for sure that his shots are way way overrated. it frustrates me, everytime he shoots, the ball goes wide or is too slow, and the commentator says "it's an exception". it's not. luckily he rarely tries to shoot, and passes instead.
and like in the game against Argentina (header to Higuain), he regularly makes mistakes. so I wonder how he can make up for this, if he is still rated so highly

Apparently he is going to sign a one year contract, and after that he will move into backroom staff. Really hope its true, would love for him to spend the rest of his football work days at Chelsea. He deserves the job.

Oh, and thanks Pande for organizing a fantasy league. Though I wish it was more along the lines of everybody trying to predict results (like during the world cup). Hate fantasy leagues because I'm too lazy to think about player form and statistics. Good luck guys, you are all sure to be better than me lol

I'm in aswell. Hope to improve from last year's 11th place but I feel that I start to think to much which makes me fail miserably most of the time (hi boardgames!)
Join everybody, join!

Any tips on the best priced team? Southampton looks really questionable with the loss of Lallana and Rodriguez injury.

Yeah it's still to early, my team was "auto complete" team due to i needed a team to create the league. I will wait until the week before the season to even think of my team. You can of course roughly create a team/squad now, but injuries and more importantly summer transfers are always key to a good start.

Always look for players who are guaranteed to play each week for a start, also the "big fish in the small pond" kind of players. Like Lukaku @ Everton last season etc.
I will if he stays at Everton be looking at Barkley for points this season and probably pick Fabregas just because he is in blue and not red haha

Maybe a poll or something eh? They are starting to talk behind our backs that chelsea fans have too much power in this thread.

Hey Pande, rig the poll so we win... but shhhh, don't tell anyone.

Stevie quitting the national team is kind of expected, probably waited for eveyone to forget about that England performance at the WC.

Yeah i can sort a predictor out, i was just wanting to do one myself which i might do. A bit of hard work but it would be way more appealing as i could pull in say 3 La Liga 3 Bundesliga 3 Serie A 2 Ligue 1 2 Portuguese 2x Dutch (maybe 3 cuz Chelsea reserves imba) etc along with few premiership.

But then becomes awkward when everyone plays different days of the week to get answers in so it would like have to be automated one.
Does the talksport one or anyone know of a European weekly one we could do? That would be awesome.

So far, my team's draft is based on Chelsea and Everton, coupled with some minor team defenders and some veteran forwards.

Closer to the start of the season I will update it :D

nice. I hope drogba can teach everything he knows to lukaku, and lukaku stays of course. I cannot see chelsea doing well with only costa (we have no idea at all if he can perform in the PL) and Torres (can't defend him forever, he's just not scoring).
