      Don't know what it is. Could be psychological with the absence of the large home crowd. Some players thrive on performing in front of their own fans. Or could be City's inability to play through teams on the road like they do at home.

        I honestly don't think it helps that injury, rotation and ACON have meant that there is no real consistency behind him either.

          Yeah they could be contributing factors aswell. They do miss Yaya. If you look early in the season the whole team clicked into place and they were destroying teams. Nasri hasn't been good enough, Dzeko & Mario in and out the team, De Jong/Milner in place of Yaya changes the dimension of the midfield for the worse.

    Anyone??

    2 FT and 0.4m in the bank. Gonna wait until GW26 to make any changes but want to get an idea of my best options

    Mignolet Sorensen

    Kompany Vermaelen Evans Taiwo Kelly

    Bale Silva Dempsey Valencia McClean

    RVP Aguero Graham

    I was thinking Verm & Graham > Ba and a cheaper defender but I would rather hear if you have any better ideas.

    Possibly my lowest GW score ever and season over in a weekend...tough times.
    Seemingly made some impulsive early transfers last night after a few too many jägers - Rooney > Helguson and Bale > McClean; Drunken wisdom or not?

    Krul
    Bosingwa, Evans, Richards (Simpson, Kelly)
    Silva, Dempsey, Valencia, McClean (Ferguson)
    RVP, Rooney, Aguero

    On paper I like the look of it for GW26.

      With the benefit of hindsight I'd like to say its fairly obvious that Ade, Odem and Saha were clearly must haves for this last week 😛

      Next week, it's difficult to say after many failures, but Aguero looks like a good player to hold, not essential though. Maybe Ba and Valencia also good picks. (Hopefully, all three are in my team 😉

          Agreed. On form he'll score against anyone and he's on pens too. Can definitely see him outscoring Aguero from now till the end of the season.

          Aguero is nailed on. With Dzeko you are always at risk of a 1 pointer. I agree with your comments but I think Aguero is the better option for the next 2. Then Rooney from GW28.
