Do Not Buy Ronaldo at £14m

Ronaldo was last years most successful player, and is this years most expensive. As we saw at the end of last season, to finish in the Top 10 in the World, you needed to have Ronaldo.

This season he is priced at £14m, which is a massive chunk of your initial £100m budget and head and shoulders above most other strikers. That makes his purchase a tough choice - is the £14m worth it, or would it be better spent on, say, Lampard, Fabregas, or Gerrard; all of whom are significantly cheaper?

That tricky decision has been made much easier due to the Telegraph reporting that Ronaldo is to undergo surgery on his ankle, and is not expected to be fit to play until as late as mid - September.

Clearly then, the answer to "Should I buy Ronaldo" is NO. At the time of writing, Ronaldo was still the second most popular midfielder chosen - if this doesn't change then some players will be starting the season with a great Portugese disadvantage!
