The Numbers Game – Manchester City

I just want to add something. I don't get the "cover" issue. It's about the (combination of) players who score the most points, not about cover. Let's say I pick Sané for City cover, then Jesus scores two with KDB and Aguero assisting. Useless cover.

The only point in cover is if your player scores the points.

Rant over. 🙂

Redmond/Tadic or try and find 0.5 somewhere for Ramsay/Arnautovic?

If Iheanacho goes to Leciester is he a good option?

I think kun will be best striker if pep plays like 3-4 last premier league matches

Willian or Ramsey?
Willian will be outed once Hazard is back but could be on free-kicks and has good potential overall, whilst Ramsey seems to strive in the new three-back system... Thoughts?

1) Lukaku+ Abraham
2) Jesus+ Gayle

Can I have people's thoughts on this (spent the Sturridge money after being roundly told off for considering him yesterday):

Foster | Elliott
Cedric | Luiz | Lindelof | Lascelles | Schindler
Coutinho | Pogba | Tadic | Alli | RLC
Austin | Lukaku | the Cassette

Who do people think will start better? Alli or Eriksen?

Foster | Elliott
Lindelof | Trippier | Cedric | Daniels | Rangel
Alli | Ramsey | ??? | RLC | Carroll
Lukaku | Kane | ???

1. Jesus and Tadic/Redmond/6.5
2. Firmino and Sane
3. Aguero and Ward Prowse
4. Austin and KDB

Or something else... 17.0 to spend (4-3-3).

3rd RMT of the season. Not changed much
Foster Elliott
Trippier Lindelof Daniels Cedric 4.5
Alli Mane Ritchie?? RLC Carrol
Kane Lukaku Defoe
Really unsure on Ritchie..may go Stanislas

Has it actually been proven that rotating GKs (like a Fabianski / Foster combo) generally outscores an elite GK who you stick with (like a De Gea / Elliot combo)?

The way I see it is you are looking for a squad of 12 / 13 playing players (depending on the rotating GK choice - 12 if not rotating, 13 if rotating) with two duds (e.g. 4.0m def, 4.5m mid or 4.5m fwd) who warm the bench, use little budget and are at low risk of falling in price.

3rd Strikers at 6-6.5: who do you like early on?:
Gayle
Austin
Deeney
Jay Rod
Mounie

I know Conte loves him but what are your thoughts on Willian ousting Pedro from the starting 11 when Haz is back?

I believe he will, and this is my reasoning:

- Lost his place when his mother died. Did not return to his usual selfall season which is understandable when coping with a loss like that
- Imo Willian is the better player on most accounts. Was CFC's best player for close to two years. Can do almost everything and offer more than Pedro.
- Pedro productivity seemed to be fairly high last year. I would argue he's not able to sustain it.
- Pedro has turned 30 which is usually a bad thing for explosive players like him.

Ya think Fraser is nailed on?

Which CPL - BOU mid pairing would start?

A. Defoe / Stanislas
B. Benteke / Townsend

Hello,

I was wondering if someone could guide me to a list of all players on the FPL site? Thank you in advance for any and all help!

Cheers,

Will those with Lukau offload him if United resign Zlatan?

Thoughts on 4-3-3 team?

Forster Elliot
Valencia Trippier Cedric Dawson Mee
Ramsay De Bruyne Stanislas Loftus-Cheek Carroll
Kane Lukaku Firmino

Cheers!

Ok, I now can't bring myself to drop any of Lacazette, Kane, Lukaku, Alli or Sane... is the rest of the team too weak? Particularly 3rd/4th mids?

Foster

Cedric - Dawson - Ake

Sane - Alli - Mooy - Fraser

Lacazette - Lukaku - Kane
-----------------------------------------
Myhill - Carroll - Lascelles - 4.0

Hi,

Changed so much already and will no doubt change it again but hows this for now.

Foster/Elliot
Lindelof, Stephens/Cedric, Dunk, 4m 4m
Willian, Ali, KDB, Ramsey, Carroll
Kane, Lukaku, Gayle

Thanks

I think I finally got my team for the first few weeks.

Ryan (Elliott)
Milner Alonso Trippier Dawson (Mariappa)
Mikhtaryan Sane Zaha (Mooy Carroll)
Gabbiadini Kane Lacazette

I might replace Gabbiadini with Willian somehow. Thoughts?

BREAKING NEWS: Manchester air traffic controllers confirmed that a private jet from Nice has landed in Manchester from minutes..

I have Sane but starting to worry that he won't justify the price.

Dilution of returns will be very strong, and he doesn't attract BAPs.

A) willian + sane
B) mane + 6.0 ritchie

I wonder if Stanislas is a guaranteed starter at Dean Court (is it still called that :-)).

6.0 seems very reasonable to me.

Hey kids,

Here's my current XV:

Foster Gomes
Alonso Milner Cedric Mee Francis
Ramsey Tadic Redmond RLC Carroll
Kane Lukaku Lacazette

So... heavy front line, solid defence, lightweight midfield.

Plan is not to miss out on one of those front three scoring big early doors, and then be able to transfer out whoever is underperforming in gw2 in order to upgrade whichever of my budget midfielders isn't delivering and get in whoever looks good in the City / Liverpool / Chelsea / United / Arsenal / Spurs mids.

Hey,

What does everyone think of this lot?

Foster

Cedric Trips Lindelof

Coutinho Willian Alli Phillips

Lukaku Aguero Benteke

Elliot Francis Carroll Rangel

Is there any reason why many people aren't going for Aguero? Seems like a no brainer to me, I don't see City not starting the best striker in the league?

For anyone questioning Defoe, just look at the penalty awards from last season...

- Sunderland had 5 awarded and scored 5.
- Bournemouth had the most penalty awards of any team in 10.

Huge potential for Defoe at Bournemouth.

why no one pick stanislas?

Lascelles or Yedlin?
