I know it's WAY early in the summer to start thinking about this but here's my tentative opening day line-up assuming the rumors that seem the most credible are true:
GK - Ben Foster (ManYoo)
D - Bale (Spurs), Alex (Chelsea), Aurelio (Liv)
M - Nani (ManYoo), Malouda (Liv), Ronaldo (ManYoo), Ribery (Ars)
F - Villa (Liv), Huntelaar (ManYoo), Henry (Ars)
Given last year's prices, Foster should be relatively cheap (say, 9.00), Bale and Alex should come in around 5.00 each with Aurelio a little higher - say 6.50. Malouda, Ribery, and Nani should be at about 5.50 each; and Villa and Huntelaar should be about 7.00 each. Presuming those numbers are roughly correct you'd have 8 holes filled for roughly 55.00, this would leave 45.00 to acquire Henry and Ronaldo which might be a tight fit but likely do-able given Henry's lack of production (I'd say he'll open at about 20.00) but I can't see Ronaldo being as high as 25.00 to start the season so it should be possible.
Just a few thoughts to get you thinking about next season.
alternatively, if Henry goes Eto'o (hopefully his replacemnent at Arsenal) would be a nice cheap striker, or whoever Chelsea bring in?

back to the drawing board
Wow interesting potential line-up! You're really going all out on EPL newcomers, but I guess since they woud be priced in the bargain range, it makes sense.
