The Numbers Game – Manchester City

I'm finding it too hard to pick an obvious attacker for Liverpool or City

I wouldn't pick non-starter Rangel. You're actually better picking some random 4.0 so that his value doesn't tank GW1.

Go for Tadic or Redmond instead of Willian with their fixtures and upgrade Rangel.

Fook the Maywedders

*49 + all the women....

I highly doubt Conor will be able to fit his head through the ropes into the ring to be honest..

Is that his odds?

Conor will hardly even be able to land a punch, let alone knock him out....

That's a tricky one

Mane if you have Harry?

Mane to go with Sane and Kane for me...

I'd go Mane

Alli for me

5.5 is a good market.

I'm with you mate.. he gave a lot of time for Mkhitaryan to settle.. I think early on he'll go for tried and trusted..

Kompany is the only defender who hasn't left my team since my first draft - I can't stop thinking about his end of season form and how he transformed City's defence

I've been looking into this a bit. Apparently Mourinho does prefer a left/right footed centreback pairing and Bailly, Blind, Jones and Rojo are all lefties, so that would suggest Lindelof or Smalling on the right.

Kompany is 0.5 more to start with...

He's on the wait and see list

he's nailed for me. Never given a chance at Chelsea, lightning quick, bought by Roman only so no-one else could

Pondering him vs Mane!

He could be but you have to pick him over proven ones...

K @LWB has te be the one? Then Monreal, sadly Bellend wants out so Ox might challenge.

Monreal. Cheaper and more assured of starts.

Kolasinac because of the reasons Netley said.

Kolasinac because he is a destoyer

Bellerin could equal Kolasinac at least if he plays. If you know that he's nailed then I can understand why it's a tough decision.
Monreal isn't the best at 5.5. In my opinion there are at least 3 better options at that price, perhaps even including Mustafi.

Monreal is good at LCB, but he's a bit less nailed than Kolasinac, too, who I'd imagine might have taken Monreal's spot if only he wasn't a better LWB himself! haha

First Sanchez team I've seen. Not bad at all but would go Defoe over Rooney of you can stretch. Everton's fixtures are rubbish. Milner is a luxury you could do without?

6/10

Very good, Waxy.

A maby. Salah new to the league. But won't be surprised if B does better.

I'm going 1 for sure!

1 x 4.0m keeper (Elliot)
2 x 4.0m defenders
1 x 4.5m mid

Planning to wildcard early as always so why bother with having a higher bench, as long as you pick 100% players

Mee and McAuley rotate really well.

Can't quite fit Alli in yet but Harry & Trip are in, for sure.

I have Kane + Alli + Trippier. In my opinion, ignoring which team they play for, they are the best options in each position

Pity Hull went down 😆 Yeah, 5 for a possible rotation-risk, nah.

Yeah I'd assume so.

Aguero is going to average a brace a game

Captain Serg.

All aboard the Brace Train, first stop Brighton and Hove Albion.

It's competition for sure.

Yes, but if I were Klippity, I'd still play Milner.

Hopefully he has Milner in his FPL team.

What am I saying? I don't even have him in my team! I hope he loses his place!

Can't see him playing this year. Only played him out of panic due to the Moreno situation last year.

Arsenal's first 5 are LEI sto liv BOU che..
I really don't see having a 6.0/5.5 defender being very viable?

Rotation. CL...etc

B here...

Got Laca and Pedro, but could sway to Mkhi if his pre season form continues, so A for me

How did you get the fixture colour codes up?

Of those teams - left. Not sure about Gayle on the bench though? Downgrade to a fodder and upgrade elsewhere?

Not bad to the break.

That'll be why nobody has mentioned Arsenal defence then?

Didn't realise anyone wanted one tbh

433 Lindelof - Utd defence should rake in points with early fixtures

I'm hoping Schmeichel goes to United

Ownership in the Top 10K is something I look at - ownership on it's own has no meaning to me.

Pick the players you think will score the most points, no point picking Foster for e.g. if you feel he's a bad pick just because everyone else has him

Appears nailed, license to attack, stats show he's due

Form's improved in the new system, suits his 'style', doesn't have to defend much.

Absolutely no clue

Cheap, Arsenal coverage, when he gets a run of games he always seems to do well

Let's face it - When UCL is involved, nobody is nailed

Nah.

Heavy in defence - Walker to Yedlin then improve Brunt & 4.0 defender

Lovely. You could aim to get more points if you want, though 🙂

Too much Liverpool.

A

I would say so, but others are less sure. Only Arsene knows, but community shield will give a big clue. I am more interested in seeing who play LCB and who plays left WB? I had assumed Kolasinac was bought for his attacking threat.

Probably to start with. And probably, though slightly less likely, over the course of the season. Holding is the biggest threat I think, and who knows if he'll prove himself on the training ground.

Solid buy in a 3-4-2-1

Hope so - could be an assist machine. 2 already in pre-season

I'd say Monreal and Kolasinac will compete at LCB and LWB throughout as both can play the two positions well and like to get forward. I see them alternating as the game goes on

I like the TLC backline. Bench is a bit weak though. Looks as if you don't want no subs.

Kun, Jesus and Laca say hi

You think monreal over kolasinac?

It won't happen. Or it will ruin football forever

Wth

A very generous 3/10

A sea of punts. You will be lucky if more than two or three come off. Midfield dreadful.

3/10

You should add a few punts in
