A. Sterling

B. Son (will need to do -4)

C. Lallana (will need to do -4)

Play Benteke or Rashford this week?

Morning chaps,

I got back late last night from my Barca way trip. I think the 4-0 is a little harsh and doesn't quite justify our performance, but, you can't make mistakes like that with Messi/Suarez/Neymar around. Game was over once we got the red card. We started the game really well, pressing high and forcing them to soon make mistakes, but unfortunately the intensity wasn't kept up.

Quick summary and assessment of the players from an FF point of view;

(I am also taking into consideration the last few games also)

Bravo - This should have been his 2nd red since joining (Rooney tackle). Doesn't fill me with any confidence, and doesn't fill our defenders with confidence. I'm not even sure he is that good at playing from the back. Do not buy for FF - not a good asset. One excellent save, but doesn't make up for the many mistakes.

Zabaleta - I would steer clear of any City defenders at the moment - even though he's guaranteed a start with Sagna injured, Zaba is not the player he was. We no longer see those bombing forward runs he used to do.

Stones - Still young and learning and makes odd mistakes when trying to play form the back. He is putting it in rowZ more than he was, but I think he needs Kompany back as a steady head at the back. Again, City defence just isn't viable at the moment. Could have scored - but can't see it coming soon.

Otamendi - Maybe our best player on the night, but not a worthy FF option.

Kolorov - Another shocking performance. Was really poor against Spurs, and this was even worse. Not good enough, and far too expensive as an FF option with little returns.

Silva - Another contender for City MOTM - majority goes through KDB now in terms of assists and set pieces. Silva will forever be the man who assists the assister. May get the odd one but would stay away as an FF buy.

Fernandino - Not a good night for someone who has been one of our best players over the last few seasons. Constant workhorse but just didn't work for him on the night. Plays too deep to consider for FF.

Gundogan - Looks a real good player and will be impertive to our challenges in each competition. Wasn't the best night for him against Barca, 6/10 maybe. I wouldn't say he's a viable FF option even at his price, there are many other nailed on players that play higher up and have set pieces. Will get the odd goal though.

Nolito - Again, another good signing, (except for the recent crazy red card). Lacks a lot of end product and this showed on the night. Should have scored - but he's just short of finishing ability that would make him a very good player. Reminds me of a David Villa type player, however at that price I can't see him getting many point returns and he'll be rotated with Sane/Navas.

Sterling - Well, what a season so far. Played well again and I didn't expect him to. I still believed he's slightly out of his depth but he's improving all the time. Not his best game, but certainly not his worst. Definitely a great FF option, I'd say it's worth getting him over KDB for the value. Menace down the wing and will pick up plenty of assists and goal points.

KDB - Another viable FF option. Very strange decision playing him in the false 9 position. Played well and created chances, but where he made stuff happen was deeper in the pitch and then there was no one in front of him. Really needs Aguero or a striker on the pitch for him to shine. Great FF option, but Sanchez and maybe even Hazard are the better picks as there will be many games where KDB doesn't pick up points from playing deep.

Aguero - Two games not starting now. I had a conversation with someone who believes that he's been benched because Guardoila thinks he's lazy. I can't agree with this - he was rested against Everton due to Int Duty, and then Pep wanted to flood the midfield against Barcelona. Wrong decision IMO.
Still an incredible FF option - however, he lacks confidence, especially with recent penalty misses. He hasn't scored many from open play, most have been pens or he's scored from KDB set piece. It wouldn't be the worst decision in the world not to have Aguero in at the moment. Lukaku and Costa are probably the best options if you are going with two heavy hitters. He'll find his form soon, and it's a risk to leave him out - but it could pay off with the majority of funds in your midfield. I for one, will be keeping him in - at least for the Southampton game.

Is transferring Ozil to Walcott to free up some cash for next week madness??

Goalkeepers
Got Pickford/Foster.
Don't rotate well now.
Have Pickford because he's a 4m starter.
Do you upgrade Foster to say Schmiechel as Leicester don't concede at home and some sort of rotation with Pickford? Or just keep playing Foster and hope for the odd save point every other week? GW1 aside he hasn't done a great deal.

Baines Valencia Holebas Evans Amat

Bit of a mess.

A) Valencia (che)
B ) Clyne (WBA) -4

Take out Sterling or Son?

Capoue and Antonio > Fletcher and Walcott? (-4)

Still struggling to decide between Morgan and Lovren. Bot have similar home games and neither team looks like they can keep a cleanie in their upcoming away games.

Would you do Baines > Clyne - 4 or play Amat? Team looks like this:

Pickford
Holebas Pieters Amat
Sanchez Walcott Sterling Lallana
Aguero Lukaku Benteke

Heaton Capoue McAuley Baines

Williams have been poor iro CS's so far. Just like Stones.

🙄

Bench one:

Amat (WAT)
Valencia (che)

Cheers

Morning lads,
Little bit stuck with my team and could do with some help.
Already done Shaw--> Holebas for my FT.
Stekelenburg
Mustafi Stones Walker Holebas
Sterling Firmino Sanchez
Austin Aguero Rondon

Jaku Zaha Capoue Amat.

2.3m ITB

1)Save FT?
2)Zaha--> Arnie/Allen?

Aguero could be a great differential Captain this week. He must be keen to hit form and surely will score

Current midfield:
Sanchez, Walcott, Firmino, Son, Capoue

Son to Payet? FT

Might bring it in Stones next gw 😉

Is this GTG?

Foster
Walker / Williams / Holebas
Sanchez (c) / Firmino / Ozil / Walcott / Capuoe
Aguero / Lukaku

Bench: Jaku / Amat / Smith / Grabban
£0 ITB

Is it too risking to triple-up on the Arsenal midfield? Had Walcott and Sanchez in there already and just brought in Ozil based on recent form.

Thanks!

So torn on Aguero captain

Care to help? 1 ft. 0.9 in the bank.

Grant - Pickford
Kos - Coleman - Lovren - Holebas - Evans
Sanchez - Sterling - Antonio - Iwobi - Fletcher
Aguero - Lukaku - Deeney

A. Save, Antonio has Sunderland while Iwobi has Middlesbrough
B. Iwobi + Antonio -> Walcott + Allen -4
C. Just upgrade Antonio to someone like Arnautovic or Sigurdson.

Cech
Walker, Holebas, Smith
Alexis, Mane, Walcott, Snodgrass
Aguero, Lukaku, Deeney

(Pickford, McAuley, Amat, Capoue)

1FT, bank 0.6

Save free transfer?
or
Mane ---> Payet
Deeney ---> Austin
Mane, Deeney ---> Firmino, Benteke

now i'am on save FT and next week have 3 transfers for -4?!

Is Sterling to Sanchez (C) worth -4?

Current midfield is:
Walcott, Sterling, Firmino, Snodgrass (Capoue)
