Paul Our usual post-Gameweek members’ article is up next as we check in on some of the standout performers across the previous weekend’s ten matches.
There’s cause for optimism in north London after Spurs and Arsenal hit a combined nine goals, while our new expected goals data offers plenty to ponder at Manchester City.
Elsewhere, Man United and Chelsea’s Belgian big-hitters have struggled to convince as Watford’s Samba star continues to catch the eye.
I will piss myself if Sterling starts at the weekend with so many appearing to sell.
2 points
So will I. 😀
he definitely will. many seem to be ignoring bernando is playing too
He will start
Dont worry
Bernardo Silva also starts today. I would say it's unlikely that Bernardo starts 3 games in a row and Sterling 1 in 3.
That's probably right. The problem is with Napoli and Arsenal in the next week it's becoming a huge minefield.
so
lukaku to kun? 😛
or sterling to salah?
both 🙂
So Jesus + Davies to Kun + Dunk?
Any thoughts? On a WC...
Pope Elliot
Azpi Otamendi Moreno Ward Mariappa
Silva Saleh Gross Richarlison Zaha
Kane Aguero Abraham
Thinking to keep balance and have a playing bench so I can rotate and not worry so much about rotation.
Or is it better to go for another big hitter?
wba a massive worry now
napoli away and arsenal to come followed by internationals with aguero/jesus travelling far and away. Then comes the crazy winter period where games come as thick and fast
I am seriously now considering going without kun/jesus
"I am sure" that Pep will start Kun and Jesus for Arsenal.I am not sure but i guess for the games against Wba and Napoli both Jesus and Kun will get the same minutes.Something like 60 and 30 for each one of them.
May as well just keep Jesus for wkend then.
Yep, that is great
**** you, Pep
Best 4.8 defender out of this lot to get?
a) Kiko Femenia
b) Lascellas
c) Moreno
d) Ward
e) Duffy
b
d) Ward - assuming this is the burnley one.
Although the Palace Ward (or Dann) might be worth a punt with next 3 of 4 at home.
Evening all. Short of time so please can someone provide a one sentence summary of city assets based on pep's team selection tonight?
Is it basically still no idea??
clusterf××k
😀
sterling to zaha gw12 can't come soon enough now
Just wanting to gauge the opinion of people here, what’s your argument for having a 3rd striker that’s £5.5m or above? Base £5.5m defenders look to be offering better value (Otamendi, Monreal for example). Base £8.5 strikers are way behind some base £8.5 and even £8.0 midfielders in terms of value, and the premium strikers have mostly poor value for money too. Even if their value isn’t too bad (Aguero), it limits team building elsewhere. What’s your take on it?
Five in midfield. Plus Kane.
I feel like the death of Davies as a viable option will lead me to a 3-5-2. I currently justify having 2 big hitters upfront by saying I’ll in theory have at least 1 good captain choice each week, although I’ve got it wrong most weeks aha
I inadvertently went 3-5-2 when Aguero injured his ribs and I've stuck with it for now. Probably more balance when mids are firing.
I went 4-4-2 when I realised after the initial Firmino hype, that he wasn’t actually that great an option. Who are your strikers?
Remember whoever City sub first doesn't play at the weekend.#sterling
Pep does not like to nail milfs
Creampie. I mean, certainly
That's KDB,Sane and Otamendi in my WC team now 🙂
Silva?
I'm not inspired by Silva recently
Fair enough..
Silva is never going to set the world alight these days. and possibly as a result he is overpriced. however he seems to be the only one with guaranteed PL game time as as such may well be worth it
At leat you can rest in the knowledge that 2 of them are likely to start this weekend.
My worry is kun stays on until he breaks the record. Better score early
Anyone notice who is not even on the City bench?
The Undertaker?
Skin ed.
Ota, Silva D.
Bingo! The only 2 who aren't a guessing game imho.
Agreed.
Is that old tramp who smells of pee
LOL! I caught this one. very funny
And his dog...
I wrote last week that I felt the time seemed right for Bernardo Silva to join the starting merry go round for City....and so it seems now with back to back starts.
Do we need to factor him in to merry go round now as well?
He's a problem on top of a problem for City picks IMO...
And Gundog. Peps first transfer when he went to City, and a firm favourite of his.
Yep..him as well..Sheesh.
This. If he stays fit he will be starting before long. The fact Pep has managed to convert two attacking wingers/inside forwards into the deep playmakers vital to his system is a testament to his managerial skills. However Gundogan is proper conductor and if he can stay fit he will be a big part of the side.
Expecting Sterling, Jesus, Sane front three at the weekend. Don't see Aguero (or Bernardo) starting 3 games in a week with Napoli and Arsenal coming up.
yeah I feel kinda dumb now doing lukaku>aguero last night
Exactly what I think
With KDB and Silva behind them
Totally agree. Playing sterling and Jesus then getting rid of both
I hope your right.
Rage wc coming
Pep is a mad man. 😆
seriously regretting lukaku to kun last night
not only because kun starts, but because sane doesn't and bernardo does
safe to suggest sane will start this weekend, and i expect sterling to too
leaving one of kun/jesus, and jesus was rested vs burnley...
Bet Sane doesn't start at the weekend now.
agree
Think I will keep Jesus then...
See who plays what tonight
We already know..
Early transfers are definitely not worth it when it comes to Pep being involved...!
Sané nailed for the weekend.
Rest is unknown.
I think everyone is reading too much into this line up and my money would be on aguero starting this weekend
Been wrestling with whether to dump Sterling for Richarlison this week, probably going to have to happen in next few days now. I can't afford to eat another Sterling benching and possible RLC 1-pointer as comfort.
Only way this is resolved is if one of the City outfield players picks up an injury. 😉
Two...see above....
if he puts in a below par display today, we can surely rule him out?
La(c)azette.
Seriously looking at it.
All of the big 3 for ARS didn't even make the bench.
Agreed, Kola, Kos and Monreal all nicely rested.
Haha, I meant Sanchez, Ozil and Laca but that works too.
Hehe, yeah I kniw, was trying ti be funny with no success. 🙂 🙂 🙂
Does Pep play blindfolded darts to select his team ?
Wants Kun to break the record at home and Jesus said he wants to help. He'll come off as soon as he scores.
Haha like the players pick the team sheet
is this official.? coz I like it
Injury to kun or Jesus would solve a lot of problems. My god man! It's only a game. What are u thinking
Kun more likely as we know he is just fitter and better version of Studge
Apart from that happened last time and then Aguero coming back from injury killed all of us Jesus owners...1
I hate owning city players, never know if there gonna start two is stressful enough, glad I don't own 3
Silva and Ota are the only ones worth it.
I might hold then go jesus to lukaku when fixtures get better for united
Not true. Stones KDB Walker are all good options
Walker is a card magnet. Stones ate paint chips as a kid. KDB very good.
Ryan
Azpi Davies Otamendi Ward
Salah Silva Richarlison
Kane Jesus Vardy
Elliot Jones RLC Carroll
Got 2FT. Should i do Davies + RLC to Dunk + Choupo?
With both Jesus and Kun starting today...
which looks better for next 6?
1) Jesus + Oatamendi
or
2) Kun + Ward/Mee
I asked next 6 as although Kun is a hit will Oatamendi cover him over Mee?
Ask pep, bad answer but no one knows who will play
I guess Jesus is not safe captain choice this week which leaves me to choose from Hazard or Kane if I dont bring in Sanchez..
Going Salah
Think he scores 1 so safe 7-8 pts atleast
Kane looks blank incoming considering they not scored at Old trafford since almost 4 years..Plus bailly back too
Going Coutinho, he must be due 1.
Jesus > Laca
