So you might want to consider 1. c4 e5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. Nf3 Nc6 4. g3 d5 5. cd5 Nd5 6. Bg2 Nb6 7. O-O Be7 You'd also have to look into 4e4.

	It depends a bit on the variations of the AD and QGa you play. 1.c4 Nf6 2.Nc3 e6 3.Nf3 (3.e4) d5 4.d4 dxc4. 1.c4 Nf6 2.Nc3 c5 3.Nf3 g6 4.e4 d6 5.d4 cxd4 6.Nxd4. Against 1.Nf3 you can play ...c5 but also d5 2.c4 dxc4. But maybe these transpositions don't suit you?

	Hi all, I am a 1800ish player and while I don't have issues when playing stronger opponents against 1.e4 and 1.d4 I am struggling to play against the flank opening, particularly the English. While I do not play aggressive openings as Black ( my repertoire is the accellerated dragon and the QGA ) I suffer the lack of free piece play that I usually get against other major opening. What do you suggest to avoid playing a boring game against the English?
