Help me with my Fantasy Syrian Civil War team

Last edited Thu Sep 5, 2013, 02:46 PM - Edit history (1)

I'm playing in a non-PPR (point per rocket) league.

I'm starting:

Ghassan Ismail
Salim Idris
Abdul-Malik al-Houthi
Abu Musab (My sleeper - drafted him late)
Fahd Jassem al-Freij
Abu "Hannibal" Sakkar (Flex)


With Free Syrian Army as my starting D/ST.

I'm not totally sold on Ghassan (and depending on what the U.S. ends up doing I may be better off trading him or just cutting my losses and see if I can pick up a Kurdish figher - good value) but I have Ali Abdullah Ayyoub as his backup so I'm screwed either way. My fault for drafting the same position from the same team.

Rounding out my bench is:

Salih Muslim Muhammad (I expect him to come on strong late)
Ali Abdullah Ayyoub
Abu Mohammad al-Golani
Salim Idris


So any suggestions on who I should start/bench? Or any ideas for trades?

I really, really want to win this fantasy league. It's not for money - just bragging rights.

Once they enter the game they will be the Adrian Peterson of limited engagement no boots on the ground.
