The Numbers Game – Manchester City

RMT please:

Forster (Elliot)
Bertrand - Lindelöf - Trippier (Hunemeier - Ake)
RLC - Sané - Alli - Willian (Redmond)
Kane - Lacazette - Gayle

Tx!

King or Llorente for 7.5 FWD? and why?

RMT please

Foster
Lindeloff, Trippier, Cedric, Alonso
Alli, Coutinho, Sane, Redmond
Lukaku, Lacazette

Joe Hart what a dreadful signing for WH. Worse than what they already have and he's on big wages.

Jesus or Lacazette?

So is the general consensus that Alli is a better pick than Eriksen? I'm currently on Eriksen but most people seem to have Alli, particularly as I'm going without Kane (Lots of avoiding watching Spurs games I know!) I feel Eriksen is slightly "safer" with set pieces... unless I'm being naive!

A) Redmond + £0.5 somewhere else in my team
B) Ramsey

Anyone else still planning a back five until first WC? Allows a nice 11:

Foster
Milner, Bailly, Lindelof, Bertrand, Cedric
Eriksen, Alli, Ramsey
Lukaku, Aguero
(Myhill, RLC, Carroll, Crouch)

Being mindful of budget , pick one from each of the following teams

A Kane
B Ali
C Eriksen

1 Lukuka
2 Pogba
3 Miki

D KDB
E Kun
F Sane

4 Sanchez
5 Lacazette
6 Ramsey

Hey guys, thoughts on this?
A) Bertrand + Kane
B) Milner + Lukaku

which one?
A. 3-4-3 with Willian, Zaha, Lascelles
B. 4-3-3 with McAuley, Sane, Chalobah

Foster Myhill
Trippier Bertrand Daniels Naughton
Coutinho Ramsey Carroll
Kane Lukaku Defoe

Any thoughts on this team guys..?
Going 4-3-3 for now.

Foster - (elliot)

Trippier - lindelof - cedric - dawson/daniels - (4m)

KDB - coutinho - tadic - (RLC, carroll)

lukaku - kane - defoe

Tnks

a) Eriksen
or
b) Alli

Can you imagine the carnage if aguero signs for chelsea....

All teams would suddenly want jesus and aguero on top of lukaku

Which one?
A/ Trippier Carroll Gayle (no Chelsea players)
B/ Yoshida Willian Fletcher (already got Cedric)

GK and Defenders options with Rotation:

Just been looking at options with GK's and Defenders and thought i would share.

Foster (4.5m) /Fabianski (4.5m) offers a perfect Home/Away rotation through the season- but just looking at the first 9 games it gives you a pretty decent HOME Gk option as below:

Bmouth United* Stoke Newcastle Wham Watford Watford H'field Leicter

* could play WBA away at Burnley

Most players have 2 anchor defenders ( assume will play every week) such as Cedric/Lindelof/ trippier/ Monreal/Walker etc... (premium defenders) so finding a good 3rd and 4th defender who rotate well for me is important.

Having looked at the fixtures for the 1st 10 weeks I have noticed that Burnely's Home games are extremely appealing and would certainly look to have coverage which rotates with defender 3 and 4.

Burnley in gw 2 4 6 8 10 at HOME play:
WBA Palace Hfield W ham Newcastle ( if last seasons home form is anything to go by then a 4.5m Burnley defender in these weeks could be of great return early on.

We know Chelsea rotate with Burnley but Chelsea defenders come at a premium so looking at the 1st few weeks the team which rotates well in game weeks 1 3 5 ( Budget defender) would have to be Palace... ( for those who usually WC early not a bad option:

Palace in Gw 1 3 5 7 at HOME play:
h'field Swansea Shamtpon

This would give you HOME fixtures for your 3rd Defender of:
WBA Hfield Palace Swansea Hfield Southamtpon W ham... Newcastle.

Hope this helps!

God, I am depressed. Knocked the stuffing out of me, and turned the excitement to ashes. 😥

How is Kante selected by more % of teams than Eriksen?

GW1 team sheet, as of now:

Forster
Bailly Cedric Dawson
Eriksen Coutinho Phillips Willian
Gayle Lacazette(C) Lukaku(VC)

subs: Foster, Loftus, Trippier, Lascelles

Anything you'd change?

Is Hunemeir nailed?

A) Jesus & Redmond
or
B) Gayle & KDB

How is this?
Foster
Walker Alonso Trippier Bailly
Alli Coutinho Fraser
Kun Kaku Gayle

Taking a chance on Fraser otherwise Fraser to KDB and Kun to Decent 6.5 Forward.

Surley, at this stage of pre season, even if Chelsea sign a striker, Batshuayi will start the first game, worth a game for people who will WC early.

Been crunching some numbers to come up with an ideal GK/DEF setup for the first 3 weeks of the season (I usually WC afterwards anyway) within my usual (low) budget in that area, and have ended up with:

Lossl / Coleman (non-playing)
Lindelof / Bertrand(Cedric) / Dawson / Ake / Cranie (non-playing)

Assuming playing 3 at the back, this gives a first 3 week fixture run of:

cry, WHU, SWA, BOU
NEW, WHU, WAT, swa
SOT, LEI, STK, hud

with the attacking threats that at least Bertrand, Dawson and Ake undoubtedly bring,

for a price of £33/33.5m.

PS: Just seen the post above me by Gaurava, that also looks a cracking option!

Doos, I'm so sorry we dumped this on you, as glad as I may be

How's that squad looking fellas
GK : Forster , Foster
Deff: Bellerin,Bertrand,Daniels,Mee,Frnsis
Mid:Ericksen,Coutinho,Zaha,Can,McArthur
Att:Lacazette,Lukaku,Benteke

Best pick .. ?

a) dawson - (have foster)

b) daniels - (fixtures not as good as WBA)

Tnks

Foster
Trippier Konpany Lindelof Cedric
Willian Coutinho KDB
Gayle Kane Lukaku
Subs Myhill RLC Chalobah/Carroll Hunemeir

Please RMT

Eriksen or KDB? Try to ignore the 0.5 mil difference. Tough one!
