The Fantasy Flutter – Gameweek 17

We’re backing City’s veteran midfielder to deliver in this week’s attempt to get the better of Paddy. With a tenner in hand, we also place our faith in the Hammers’ top scorer at home to Leicester, whilst a move up front bring Liverpool’s young starlet back on the radar.

Our first stop is at the Etihad, then, as the champions prepare for the visit of Palace. Frank Lampard took his tally to four strikes in just 298 minutes with the winner in last week’s victory at Leicester and his eye for goal could be key as Manuel Pellegrini looks to roll out a striker-less system to deal with the injury crisis. With Paddy offering 10/3 on Lampard to score and City to keep a clean sheet against Palace, we’re more than willing to take a punt and part with £3 for this one.

Up next, we move to Upton Park as West Ham prepare for the visit of Leicester. Diafra Sakho has scored in four of his five home appearances in the league and, with five wins and a draw in the last six in front of their own fans, Big Sam’s side look likely victors here. Paddy are prepared to offer 12/1 on Sakho to score two or more and the Hammers to register a clean sheet and we’re making this our bet of the week, with a further £4 shelled out.

Finally, we switch to Anfield as Liverpool and Arsenal go head-to-head. Shifted into a central role up front in each of the last two matches, Raheem Sterling posed United plenty of problems in the final third before bagging a brace at Bournemouth on Wednesday evening. The youngster’s confidence will be on the up for this one and with odds of 11/1 on a Sterling goal and Liverpool clean sheet, our final £3 goes Paddy’s way.

    Crystal Palace's last three away games:

    Clean sheet against Spurs
    Conceded 1 goal to Swansea
    Conceded 1 goal to Manchester United

    They also beat Liverpool 3-1 recently.

    Yet everyone expects them to be battered by a striker-less City team. Yaya captainers, it's not too late to change. 1-0 incoming - you heard it here first.

      This makes a lot of sense. I have him but no way is he getting the armband

    2. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Add City last 3 home games: 1-0, 2-1, 1-0

    3. A Defender's Nightmare
      • 11 Years

      '64 Kolarov free-kick.

    4. Acquafresca
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Could be 1-0, or 4-0. History means nothing.

      Every game is a new opportunity.

        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        So you're saying form is a myth?

        1. Acquafresca
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          No I agree with most of your points, but City can beat anyone 4-0 at home on their day...

          1. tw
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            true. they still have silva, nasri, yaya, and possibly lamps who could bang in goals

            less likely given their lack of an established striker and their recent drop in attacking form

            1. Rhinos
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              everyone seems to be overlooking mighty Milner and of course the powerhouse that is Sir Aleks 🙂

          2. President John F. Keninnsie
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            I can see them struggling without a proper striker. They'll take a while to adjust and get used to it IMO. Add in the fact that Palace are defensively solid away from home, and City haven't scored more than 2 goals at home in the PL for over 2 months.. That's why I haven't got Yaya.

            Of course anything can happen but looking at their respective form isn't a bad way to try and predict the outcome.

    5. Rhinos
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      fair point but i dont have anyone better this week and yaya cap when they beat Everton 1-0 worked out just fine

    6. Skokym
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Currently on Costa. I have yaya as well

      1. Jax
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Will be 2-0

        1. Skokym
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          One of the most attacking teams vs a team which has 1 CS in last 13 GWs. Chelsea will score.

  2. OPTA FPL
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    20h at Stoke, a wet & cold, rainy night?
    Bye Hazard (C)

  3. KeepCalm
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Final call for captains..dont care if it annoys anyone. Need to see the variety of choices here

    Im going with Yaya. Runner ups: Austin, Downing, Costa, Sanchez

    Wbu lot?

    1. Kevtheotter
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Austin for me

      Hazard, Yaya and Downing miles behind

      1. KeepCalm
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        all good options except haz maybe

    2. Skipdipper
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Rooney

      1. Kevtheotter
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Don't see why anyone would want to give Rooney the nod. I have him but looking to get rid of I'm honest

        1. FPLEL
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Yep, I don't feel like captaining a potential CDM.

          1. Skipdipper
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Decent record against villa
            LVG has said he could be up front this week
            Even in midfield he assists and baps
            Lack of credible alternatives (Sanchez away. Hazard and Costa away where tend not perform. Austin against a tight defence)

    3. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Rooney

    4. 1569Tippins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Sanchez

    5. FPLEL
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      RVP and Austin are front runners. Sanchez, Hazard, Costa and Sakho are also decent. Even downing.

    6. Skokym
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Costa

    7. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      nasri...
      ahead of sanchez, hazard, austin, carroll and baines. gave zabaleta consideration too

    8. KeepCalm
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      well that didnt help...its gona be an interesting GW

      so many different captains

  4. A Defender's Nightmare
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Can't believe people think Di Maria is better than Hazard. Hazard had 1 bad game (against Villa) all season.

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      ADM more technique, more vision, more direct, big game player

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I wouldn't rate one better than the other. They both have areas that they are better than the other in.

      1. A Defender's Nightmare
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Probably you're right but Hazard will be much better than him in 2-3 years.

        1. tw
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          potential is different than who is currently better

          1. A Defender's Nightmare
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            ADM currently isn't better than Hazard.

      2. Willis.
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Hazard is better at everything except for crossing.

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Nah I don't agree. He is better at taking on defenders alright

            1. FPL Blow-In
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              Yeah that's exact what I just said. Hazard is better at taking on defenders. Figured dribbling was involved in that

            2. FPL Blow-In
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              Both of these are just this season also? We're judging them as players on their whole careers.

    3. Mahesh_Kumar
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      ADM is a better player. By a very thin margin.

      1. A Defender's Nightmare
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        People say this 'cause he played for Real Madrid. Even Ozil used to be world class. ADM is a great player but time will tell who's better between him & Eden.

        1. Acquafresca
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Ozil never "used" to be world class. He is world class.

          Just look at his record. Outstanding assist records.

        2. Mahesh_Kumar
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Doesn't matter which team he played. Just talking by what I ve seen this season. His vision is extraordinary. He sees passes no can see and I sometimes don't know he does it, but executes them perfectly too.

    4. Acquafresca
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      You're mental. Stop getting FANTASY football and REAL LIFE mixed up.

      Di Maria was a huge part of Real Madrid winning the CL, as well as a huge part of Argentina doing well in the World Cup (before getting injured)

      Hazard was invisible in the World Cup. He's still good, but not as good as Di Maria.

      1. money face bandwagon
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        agree with this.

      2. A Defender's Nightmare
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Don't live in the past. Present & future is where it at. ADM isn't currently better than Hazard. He started well this season but was very average before he got injured. Hazard is getting better & better with every game he's been playing. Time will tell.

        You need to stop offending other posters.

        1. FPLEL
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          People resorting to ad hominem attacks during discussions is all too common on internet forums.

    5. KING KOUNDER
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Seriously ?
      What has Hazard done to be even compared with ADM ?

      Di Maria was vital in Madrid winning the UCL, he was the MoM in the final.
      ADM is Argentina's player of the year defeating Messi.

      Hazard is a flat track bully who teases PL minnows, ask him to win something significant , we'l talk later

    What is everyone doing with Dzeko? Should i wait one week and play Siggy? Or just get Benteke?

    1. 1569Tippins

      I got rid for Austin

      1. El Zurdo

        My other strikers is Costa and Austin.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          If Benteke is the player you want, then get him... pointless keeping Dzeko at this stage. I personally think there are better options than Benteke but it's personal preference

    2. Rhinos
      • 10 Years

      that q in the wrong tense

    fabianski gilks

    sanchez haz cesc siggy downing

    a) dzeko > giroud
    b) dzeko > kane

    d) dzeko + siggy > kane + eriksen (-4)

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Dzeko > Bony would be nice but I see you have 3 Swans... Maybe just get Kane.

      1. tw
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        yeah that's what I would've done if I didn't already have 3 swans

        why do you like Kane over Giroud?
        also bench siggy and start benteke?

        cheers!

        1. President John F. Keninnsie
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I think Kane will start more over Xmas, Giroud will probably miss a game I reckon. His price gives you a lot of room to move too.

          Man that's tough. 50-50 I reckon... I'd start Siggy if I had to.

    2. Billy Ketsu
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Dzeko > Giroud. That Pool defence is no defence and the handsome Frenchman is a great captain choice for Boxing Day.

    3. Acquafresca
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Giroud is a nice punt.

      Kane is also a decent option, but has some tough fixtures coming up.

      50/50 call. A or B certainly though.

      1. Acquafresca
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        If you don't need the cash, I would go Giroud, personally.

      Id got for Sterling, as he is playing as a forward now, should be a greater goal threat. Ive got both 😀

    3. Kevtheotter
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      In a fight is say Downing but I'd probably take them both. Sterling is quite small so would be easy to beat up I reckon and I imagine Downing would be a bit of a bagina once you get down to fighting like. I'd say he is really mouthy though.

      Sterling probably the nicer guy to

  16. Judeksi

    my saturday morning captain change: Austin gets the armband now instead of Costa. Hopefully this isn't another stupid "saturday morning" decision 😀

    1. Kevtheotter
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Why is "Saturday morning" in quotes? Are you saying it's not actually Saturday morning?

  17. ymx
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    baines vs ivanovic?

    1. Judeksi
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Once Mirallas is back Baines is quite useless again, so I would go with Ivanovic.

    2. Kevtheotter
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Ivan would so taken Baines in a scrap. Hands down. Where's he from again... Eastern Europe anyway so those lads don't take no crap. Especially from alternative music listeners like Baines!

      His names Leighton for gods sake. Not a chance

  18. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Oh sssshhitt i cant decide my captain.

  19. Sooda
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Captain -

    a) Yaya, or

    b) Costa, or

    c) Sterling

    1. Patty
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      b

      1. Sooda
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        cheers... struggling between a and b right now. Sterling i thought would be a left wing (not literally) pick, seeing as he is playing further forward

    2. The Handsome Hunk
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Costa

      1. Sooda
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        might stick with him as a 'safe' option. But Yaya potentially ramaging forward more in Citys new strikerless formation is hard to ignore!

        1. The Handsome Hunk
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I think you should go with ur gut..

    3. Jazzmattazz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      C.

      1. Sooda
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        tempting, seeing as he is playing further forward, could be amongst the goals

  20. Dr Gonzo
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    OK I've left the captain & bench decisions to the wife who knows nothing about football because I can't make my mind up...

    Guzan
    Azpi - Baines - Clyne
    Hazard - Sanchez - Yaya (vc) - Downing
    Bony - Austin - Sakho (c)

    Eriksen - Wisdom - Duff - Elliot

    Am I mad?!

    1. The Handsome Hunk
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      yes ofcourse... Eriksen on bench...what the heck...

    2. Whattheheck!
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      She's done a good job!

    3. Patty
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Get Eriksen off your bench then captain him

    4. Skokym
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Defo play eriksen! For Hazard or Sanchez.

      1. The Handsome Hunk
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I think it should be Austin

        1. Skokym
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I though about it as well. Wba in defensive form. But i still can see Austin score a brace. Just a gut feeling

          1. The Handsome Hunk
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            So you are captaining Austin , Right ?? 😀

            1. Skokym
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              Playing it safe and going for Costa. My gut is usually wrong tbh 😀

              1. The Handsome Hunk
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 4 months ago

                HAHAHA.. true!!!
                personally I think Luxury players are bought and meant for captain... once they will repay you..

    5. Rhinos
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      something tells me you've asked her some rather leading questions for her to come out with that cap vice combo 🙂

    6. Jazzmattazz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Capt is ok. Not sure if you can bench Eriksen. Form and fixture.

    7. money face bandwagon
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      bench hazard for eriksen.

    8. Dr Gonzo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Thanks guys! Good luck this week

  21. Rinseboy
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    2 frees, mental to be considering Bony and Costa to Sakho and RVP?

    1. The Handsome Hunk
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      RvP is good

    2. Patty
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      surely defence needs tending too, or Siggy?

    3. Whattheheck!
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I would keep Bony

  22. Acquafresca
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    I think City will easily win 2 or 3-0 against Palace.

    Just my opinion.

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah I am thinking this myself

    2. Rhinos
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      im hoping Warnock banging on bout referrreing will cost them a penalty or 2 😉

    3. Willis.
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      You know you're posting shite when you feel the need to end with "Just my opinion."

      1. Acquafresca
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Are people not allowed opinions anymore? lol.

      2. Kevtheotter
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I don't like you. You never have anything constructive to say.

    4. Breadbin
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Going out on a limb there.

      1. Breadbin
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        P.S. This is also my opinion on the matter at hand.

    5. tw
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      goals from...?

      1. Acquafresca
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Probably random like Milner, Yaya, Demi.

        1. Breadbin
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Fact.

          1. Acquafresca
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            In fact it could be anyone! 😉

      2. FPL Blow-In
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Silva brace and Zab please

        1. Breadbin
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          My players to score well please.

    6. money face bandwagon
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      they should..but i doubt they will..

  23. Kevtheotter
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Clyne to Whom? I actually can't decide

    Obviously everyone says city defender but just hate the though of spending that money on someone who might not play!

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      B.Davies is a good shout

      1. Kevtheotter
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah but... Spurs like

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah still only 4.4 though. Attacking threat is there also

          1. The Handsome Hunk
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            same.. thinking of it When chambers will not be playing..

    2. Breadbin
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Baines.

      1. Kevtheotter
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Have already

        1. Breadbin
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Ivanovic.

    3. Jazzmattazz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Zabs just been rested so should be ok to play over the Xmas period then look at it again.

      1. Kevtheotter
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah that's my thoughts

    4. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Cresswell or Ivanovic, imo.

      1. Kevtheotter
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Hmmmm interesting. Have Terry though too

    5. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      is that a new Dutch player i've not heard of?

  24. Mahesh_Kumar
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Am I the only one captaining Costa? Somehow, almost everyone this week are captaining midfielders.And RVP obviously.
    I have Rooney, Eriksen, Downing, Sanchez and Hazard too btw.
    Someone care to talk some sense into me.
    Or will Costa score a brace today?

    1. Gooner97
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I'm on Costa currently too

      1. Mahesh_Kumar
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Hoping for some good Fab and Costa link ups today

    2. The Handsome Hunk
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Eriksen , form and Fixture

      1. Mahesh_Kumar
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        He was my first choice but I am little worried he may not play the full game. Worst case scenario, even rested and used if needed.

    3. Jazzmattazz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      It's a cold Monday game away to Stoke. He might park but likely to get no bonus points and throw in yellow and all of a sudden you can see why captaining doesn't appeal.

      1. Mahesh_Kumar
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        You may be right. It's Costa s first English winter experience. Maybe that is why he is not playing too well recently?

    4. iCon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I'm going with Costa too, but think it will be the most diverse Captains choice this year.

    5. MMN
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I can personally guarantee he won't be scoring a brace today.

      1. Mahesh_Kumar
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        lol

        1. MMN
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          (coz he's not playing today)

  25. Zep
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    If I get Carroll, I'll have 6 penalty takers in my team this week... 😯

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      There is no guarantee that Carroll will take the penalty.

      1. Acquafresca
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Highly likely though. If Noble isn't on the pitch

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Downing is currently the best dead-ball striker in the league ...

          1. Acquafresca
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Stop dreaming Doos. Downing is NEVER taking a PK 😆

      2. Zep
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Possibly, but I reckon if they get one he'll step up...

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          See just up.

      3. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        *hit the target with a pen
        **hit the stand behind the goal with said pen

        🙂

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Baines, Hazard, RVP, Carroll, Austin and Yaya?

      1. Zep
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Bony instead of RVP...

    3. Kevtheotter
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      They all miss (same face you did)

    4. FPLEL
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I think I've seen Nolan take a penalty when Carrol's been on the pitch.

      1. Acquafresca
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Negative.

        1. FPLEL
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Aight.

  26. Rhinos
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    There are no standout captain choices this week therefore without the benefit of hindsight it should be hard to pick a bad one.
    Just go with who you think will score the most, its not rocket science

    1. Zep
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      If I get Carroll, I might punt on him...

      Otherwise Yaya...

    2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Van Persie says hi.

    3. The Handsome Hunk
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      yeah.. will be exciting GW though,... 😀

    4. Gooner97
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Thinking about Downing...

    5. Breadbin
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Will do.

    6. money face bandwagon
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      yeah u can debate whole week but ultimately this gw has more luck element than the rest for captaincy.

      loving this though rather than the aguero default captaincy..

      1. Rhinos
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        great point, if Aguero was fit these conversations would be obsolete

        1. money face bandwagon
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          yeah this period is a good period to play catching up regardless of your rank. You know that there will not have a particular aguero that could spoil your gw if u try a differential captain.

    7. mookie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      RVP is the standout choice imo

  27. Nabs Kebabs

    Would love some thoughts on this team

    Foster (Hamer)
    Baines, Terry, Yun (Vlaar, Hutton)
    Sanchez, Hazard, Siggy, Downing (Marney)
    Costa(c), Bony, Austin

    1FT and 4.2m itb

    Should I get a City mid for Siggy? Tempted to save and then do Downing -> Sterling next week.

      1. Whattheheck!
        • 10 Years

        Oooh exciting. Thanks.

          So - keep Downing, please. Otherwise you will unbalance your team unnecessarily. 🙂

          1. Whattheheck!
