Selecting Your Team: Where to Start?

How did the teams perform in FL Scoring last year? Unsuprisngly, the Top 4 are there, but Man Utd might possess the best value with 3 very favourable opening fixtures. However, you should probably stay clear of Wigan, risiding at the foot of the table and with difficult opening fixtures not helping. Portsmouth are no better, and with selling Crouch and Johnson, things can only get worse.
