The Numbers Game – Manchester City

Even if he is why do you want him?

Arguably right now he is the only recognised left back at city.

However, they will sign someone, more than likely Mendy. Too short term to consider imo

Why Mkhitayan? Surely he's never a guaranteed starter?

Solid

6/10

Kane has probably taken the best striker in the league title off him.

He's not a no brainer, because last season Jesus did force him onto the bench for a while.

That said, he has a higher points ceiling than any other striker other than Kane, so it's a real risk Vs reward situation

5/10, no lacazette or Kdb and Willian + Phillips doesn't do it for me tbh

Pep has previous for not starting Aguero if you remember (Feb time?) I'm still going for him at that price

Aguero is first name in my team

I'd say Defoe. Liverpool have too many options in midfield that you might as well go for.

I like Firmino as a cheaper way into LIV attack tbh

Defoe, would be my choice, Fir just doesn't score enough goals at that price.

Joke but my defence is quite decent IMO

What's your lousy defence like?

You have lacazette you don't need a defence. Top 1 million already guaranteed

You stole my front line! But my midfield is better 😉

Ew just use the site on mobile works so much better

Forget lanzini get kdb

I tried to sell myself on lanzini and failed massively.

would rather have Willian that Lanzini for first few weeks

RLC and KDB, you know it makes sense.

Kane to lacazette will do wonders for your midfield

Not nailed for me. Was dropped last season, and competes with Fraser, King, Ibe, Gradel, Arter

Yes. Only didnt play when injured. Look at his ppg

Far too much spent in defence. Milner to Robertson when he arrives and Valencia to Lindelof should give 2ml to sort the mess out

Sanchez not good value this year compared to lacazette mark my words

Probably is, but does that translate into FPL points?

More expensive too

Sanchez won't play as far forward this year.

Laca will take Pens. Sanchez is a terrible taker.

8.5

7

8.5

8.5

Think i need him at that price

Spot the bloke who knows nothing about fantasy football

I'd guess somewhere in the 8-9 bracket. 8.5 seems like a good shout.

B easily

Wenger has been saying Sanchez staying for a couple of years now

Dutch.. New lad, PVA and Martins Indi likely

Pogba maybe.

A

Have to consider the captaincy options, explosiveness etc...

I've been having a similar dilemma over Kane. On the one hand, his goal-scoring record is impeccable. On the other, there are so many intriguing options (Lukaku, Jesus, Lacazette) that save money while maintaining a premium presence.

I'm still probably starting with Kane, though. Easier to get rid than to acquire.

Cheers lads - captaincy option definitely worth considering.

A

Captaincy is the clincher for me.

Probably same situation as with aguero couple seasons back, I can get good cover working a while, until that round he bags 4-5 in one game.

B2

A

Hang on, is Wij nailed?

Wij high risk of benching with Cout dropping back and Keita coming in

Fake news

Reported release clause is 222ml EU

B are more nailed

A

Not sure on Walker personally.

Aaaaa

Must admit I haven't even got him as 5th milf... yet 😆

Wouldn't have left Chelsea to sit on the bench is the theory

Tea all day long mate
The drink of Kings!

C

I don't even know what the rest are

Plus at times ten player teams have outscored me loads of times

Most people do that l.

Shouldn't need more than two bench players to come on per week

I can understand (kind of) your thought process...but it's really not worth it if you want to do well.

I can see the logic, especially since a big hitter can be prone to a run of 2 pointers, so might as well have an enabler, and hope he comes off at some point.

The risk is if you get a couple of quick injuries to your good players and your bench price drops. Can leave you with 9 or 10 starters

Mate that defence you showed me was about £100ml

I've actually though a lot about this. This 11th player would be RLC, Chalobah, Mee and T. Carroll "rotating". It appeals to me, especially if RLC is nailed. But I might go with my backup option still.

I can't see any obvious reason not to, besides that I think RMT gave me a slightly worse score with RLC as a starter and the money spread. But too much is up in the air to trust those predictions.

The last thing I want to do is to not do it smply because people on here don't want you to try in case you do better than them. If people (or myself) provide decent support against doing it I will heed their advice.
