For antis... I don't like hyvaa and STX is bad, I think KT has gotten over their whole "use random b teamer who only played sc2" strategy since it failed so bad and Flash is decent now, and I don't even remember what the hell Bbyong did all season.

Motive was only really good because he was KT's guy who practiced 100% SC2 at the start of the hybrid Proleague. After a few months of his peers catching up, Motive kinda became useless. He's not terrible, but he's not a starter.
Sorry Mini I will be silently rooting for you. Woongjin good choice as they always do really well at the start of the season. Better switch them out later though. >_.
Wasn't really sure if i should be trying to perdict the entire round, or even year, as opposed to putting a fair amount of focus on this week's matches then trading occasionally over the course of the round.
Jaedong - Fairly consistent, and recognized by MC as a great zerg improving quickly. Bisu - Fanboyism. Come on. He's only worth 4 points? Dear - Rookie of the year in the last BW proleague. He has alot of potential, and is quite cheap. Fantasy - His plays remind me of MMA during his prime. He has Boxer as his private coach and will make it far. yeOngJae - He will never play, but seems to be the best one out of 1-pointers. SKTelecomT1 - Do you have to ask? ^_^
Anti Tea sHy - He looked good at the beginning of the SC2 transition, but there are many others players that have surpassed him. Also, he is way overpriced at 7 points. Motive - He is on KT Rolster and he never plays now. The head start he got last season is gone, and he will not be fielded. hOn_sin - Highly doubt he will play many games, and he is a Terran. Good luck against Zerg and Protoss!
First off, I picked sKyHigh simply because he was my favorite player in Brood War, and therefore I have an incredible amount of faith in him. I chose soO as my Captain because he has shown a decent grasp on SC2 and he's an overall solid player. JangBi was picked up because you can never count JangBi out in Proleague. Snow and Fantasy are my two "filler" pick-ups that I'm putting stock in for now. Dear is my new hope in SC2. Most of my players are also favored for their first week match-ups.
As far as Anti-Team goes, Sea is a safe pick because he's over-valued in terms of points, not playing Week 1, and not a strong player currently. Flying is playing Hydra and I don't think he'll win that one. hvyaa vs BeSt is also a matchup I think he's going to lose, so overall I think I'm pretty safe on my anti-team right now.
I was pretty reluctant to choose any TL-EG player for my Main Team as many of them attend foreign tournaments or live outside of Korea for a while. Thus they don't always appear on the lineup, specially i can't see how it's a good idea to pick IdrA as the captain like some did here. I guess it's okay if you are a fan.
Besides... rooting for Bisu now, haha.... so many FPL teams would suffer!

I wanted to get Taeja, but I would have to change my team to something with lower points and that screws my strategy of getting points when my main team wins. I think Sea is a total steal at 2 points, same with Horang2. Putting a lot of faith in Bisu to get better throughout the season and for HOTS, we'll see if it pays off. I have a lot of faith in soO to stay solid, as I speak he's beating MKP in MLG's tournament + he won the MvP invitational.
For the anti team, I don't have a lot of faith in Jaehoon or HuK ( sorry chris ) and Stats is a shot in the dark.
edit, decided to change HuK for Motive since I think he will barely play with Stats and Wooki having caught up in skill level. Thanks to some other posters in this thread for suggesting it.
i'm just here to say in advance fuck soo, I know he's going to go like 1-5 AGAIN to start this fucking season (I had him on my team after he went to osl semifinals and ended like 6-1), but god damnit he's a sc2 zerg and he's having decent results.
fuck him in advance though. ah well, I assume the rest of my team will do jack though.
am happy motive is a good 3 point anti pick; he'll never play a game.
edit- well since I don't know what I'm doing overall for team micromanagement I just did replace soo with fantasy, even though fantasy won't get to play the first week as he is slotted after skt wins 4-0. go skt/cj overall though!
Reasoning: STX because I think they got a pretty deep line, but I can't really forgo any points to their players. Alone: Had to pick a 1 pointer scrub, mine as well be some guy from T8. Fantasy: Says hes improving, a very good sc1 player and I think will do very well this season. Hydra: Sleeper player, cheep but I think will rack me up some free points. JangBi: As soon as proleague kicks into action this guy is going to be a monster. On top of his game when sc1 hit it's twilight, I think he will perform very well in sc2 as well. Reality: Feels like a solid pick. TaeJa: I think proleague will suit him very well.
Anti Team: Shine: I hate shine. Knocked bisu out of too many tournaments for me to ever love him. Also he sucks. Stork: As much as I love stork, I don't think he will perform quite up to expectations this season. I think he could do better in the future, but for the first half I don't see him being amazing. Zenio: Probably won't be played much and if he does, he isn't a guarantee win by any stretch.
Main Team 3 Action Solid player for 3 points, I think he'll be active for KT in a lot of their Proleague games (and looked good vs SKT too!)
6 Fantasy (captain) His improvement by the time Code A rolled around impresed me greatly. Expecting big things this season.
2 fOKINS Wildcard choice. Was absolutely perplexed by the decision to put him out first by Woongjin Stars, considering they also have Flying and Soulkey to choose from. Hoping this will pay off.
6 hyvaa Seems to have a fantastic grasp of sc2 Zerg macro, has impressed me on multiple occasions. Surely STX's best Zerg.
5 Last Very unfortunate not to make finals of OSL last season, very impressive games vs both Flash and Rain, as well as MC (beating Flash, just coming up short vs the final two.) For five points, I saw him as a must-have.
3 Terminator Despite not being the most impressive KeSPA player to have played in GSL, I'm hoping that Sang still has plenty to show us. A steal at 3 points too :D
5 SK Telecom T1 Think they're gonna win it all. Not much else to it ^_^
