The men in black have been a prominent talking point leading up to Gameweek 13 after Everton’s Oumar Niasse become the first player to be handed a two-match ban for a ‘Successful Deception of a Match Official’.
As featured in the first iteration of our members’ Men in Black article last week, though, Anthony Taylor – the referee who awarded the Toffees’ spot-kick against Crystal Palace – had previous when it came to awarding penalties.
Loads I'd imagine. I'm sure someone will be more informative
Yes plenty
Wait for a hot topic by özil tomorrow morning mentioning their times
My Defence:
Bellerin-Naughton-Jones(Long*-Francis*)
1) Sell Jones for Mustafi (-4) Start him vs burnley A
2) Sell Jones for Tarkowski (-4)start him vs Arsenal H...also allows me to do sterling to sane next GW
3) Keep Jones and play him?
I think that Mourinho has already announced that Jones is still injured and will not play this weekend. Also heard speculation that he might miss next week's midweek game as well.
3
This week: Aguero - > Morata
Next week: Jones, Sterling & Vardy - > Alonso, Hazard & Wilson (-8)
Yay/Nay?
Just do -12 and do it this week. That will look nice.
I actually want to hold Vardy for the Leicster game. Also think Sterling will start
Looks good, bringing in the same 3 next week myself
Nay. I'd save transfer and look to ship Aguerro Vardy next gw.
Alonso, Kolasinac, Mee, Lowton, Yedlin......
Pick three to play this week (technically pick one as two of them pick themselves)!
Two big guns & Yedlin
This is the who I currently have in my playing 11 for this week too
one of the last three popping up with an assist, hm, Yedlin? Actually, i would go for a burnley defender as that game could easily be a boring 0-0. Burnley either scores or concedes many and Arsenal often troubles to find out of these kind of teams. A classic case of the one not trying to score the other trying but just hits the wall every time.
That's what I thought too. Newcastle are also quite good at the back though.
i agree with you, just that newcastle has that annoying habit of letting in one or two goals and now without Lascelles coupled with a watford who scores a lot i would hesitate on Yedlin. I have picked fabianski in goal over Eliott and it´s not because i fancy Fabianski to keep a clean sheet but heres hpoing for a Bournemouth away appearance where they just are happy to get a point by playing neat passes to each other in the middle of the park. Watfords bound to score, Lascelles out will weaken Newcastle a lot.
This is very true. I actually wanted Lascelles but as you say, he is out. Also more expensive and I need funds for my midfield. Maybe I will go for Mee then.........
eriksen & sterling to pogba & sane for -4 (have aguero and Kane)
A) yay
B) nay
B
Just Eriksen to one of those. Get the other one next week.
I'd rather get rid of Kun myself and keep Eriksen and Sterling.
Which one? Will probably only do the defensive transfer this week:
A. Luiz, RLC, Vardy ▶️ Otamendi, Pogba, Wilson -4
B. Luiz, Choupo, Vardy ▶️ Moreno, Hazard, Wilson -4
C. Luiz, Richarlison, Vardy ▶️ Mustafi, Hazard, Wilson -4
It's a brave slice of bread that brings Moreno in after that performance.
A for me.
Ha ha thanks don’t try and butter me up...any good 4.5 will do really..not keen on Brighton anymore though
Didn't watch the match. Was he that dreadful?
Yes gave away two goals. At fault twice for one of them
just google "moreno horror show"
You might need to filter for recent events only
whole team was horrid and Morno went crazy. Not sure if Klopp will risk the chance of terminating Morenos growing self a steem handing him a plce on the bench. Moreno plays vs Chelsea, no doubt.
A
No Hazard love?
Plenty. But if the choice is Richarlison & Pogba or RLC & Hazard I'd go with the first.
But only just.
Sandro Ramirez bandwagon
Said no one ever.
Elliot
Otamendi Daniels Tarkowski
Salah Sane Richarlison Gross
Kane Lukaku Morata
bench: Ryan Carroll Mbemba JONES
1 FT, 0.2 itb
A) Jones->Mustafi and play him instead of Tarkowski.
B) Save transfer and play Tarkowski.

Bench: Speroni, Moreno,Duffy, Niasse
I would
I'd save, surely Pogba will get a rest over the next week sometime after coming back from injury.
Good point actually!
Save
anyone captaining Jesus?
No, nobody,
i own kun and it certainly looks like jesus is bound to start. i'd captain if i had him
very tempted
Possibly
Yes, somebody
Vice
I am, only player I have who I think could get a hatty, I also have Lukaku and Kane
No. I captained him once for a 1pointer and swore never to captain a city player ever again. I have triple city attack though..
Speroni
Ward Bavies Daniels
Sterling Salah Richarlison RLC
Kane Morata Jesus
(Elliot Kola Carroll Jones)
Was a set on WCing but injuries and suspensions have scuppered that. Have 0.7ITB, any suggestions?
Considering Sterling > Pogba or taking a hit to afford Sterling > Sane?
Hit.
How do injuries stop you wildcarding ?
Players he wants?
Why would you want an injured player ? 😉
Play kola over RLC
Neither. I'd save.
D silva or pogba?
B, for now.
Pog
I've been thinking the same thing. Want to see if Pogba boosts lukka first
Thanks all.
I think Silva will outscore Pogba over the next few weeks.
Po
Silva
Hi All,
Tomorrow afternoon for Scout Picks...?
Most likely.
Bilic close to sacking
?
REfused to talk to his boss
Eww.
Yes. Very close. Like, 3 weeks ago close
Is Diouf not playing in a striker role any more?
RWB
Ok so i'm now a bit uneasy about not having a City attacker. Sterling wont play this week so ideally get Sane.
What would be your priority?
Pope Elliot
Luiz Otamendi Ward Duffy Naughton
Hazard Salah Richarlison RLC Carroll
Kane Morata Vardy
A) Luiz out
B) Get a City attacking player (but who and how?).
How much itb?
£1m
The only route i can think of is downgrading Vardy and upgrade Richarlison to Sane
The other option would be a straight swap Hazard to Sane but i wouldn't recommend it
Why won't Sterling play this week ?
Who to get in for Jones
A) Daniels
B) Maguire
C) Mustafi
Cheers
A
A
Any of them, would also consider Christensen for the longer term.
% chance of Kun and Sterling starting this week each?
Both together? 17.5%
I would say Kun off the bench and Sterling 75% chance of starting. I really have no idea. That's my best guess though.
Sterling 75% Aguero 25%
This
Will Jones survive the price fall tonight?
This what I’m need to know. Going to be tight
Best 4,5 defender thats not burnley?
Dunk or one of the Leicester boys probably.
A) Hazard and Jesus
B) Kane and Sane
Help me out with this lads!
B easy
B all day long
B
B, but only just. I think Hazard will do very well given Chelsea's upcoming fixtures.
Sterling to Sane for -4?
No
I'm leaving till next gw instead
Same dilemma. My thinking was 4 point would require Sane to get too much in way of returns to be worth a hit.
Like, he would need about 6 points (so an assist + 1 baps) just to break even.
Then, what if Sterling plays? And scores? Then Sane needs far too much to cancel it out. Just doing it next gw instead
Nah - Keep Sterling and use the £1m saved to upgrade elsewhere as cover in case he doesn't play.
Would it be mad to bring in Niasse as part of a 8 point hit & bench him for the 1 remaining game that he's suspended? (gwk 14)
Yes
This
Im doing it on a wc now. May burn us later on tho.. alot of things can happend later on so. Yeye
I wouldn't worry about doing it on a WC tbh
I'm considering same for a -4
Not really.
Yes. Just wait the extra week and do it for free and save yourself 4 points. If he will be benched anyway, then why bother? He may even drop
Funds. Vardy - > Niasse = Hazard
I wouldn't. May have a new manager with new preferences by then.
WC team
Pope Speroni
Otamendi Maguire Daniels Mee Dunk
Hazard Salah Sane Richarlison RLC
Kane Morata Niasse
gtg or change defense?
Not bad. Needs more Alonso/Azpi
Tough to fit either of them in without downgrading attack which I'm not sure I want to do.
Got a similar draft, toying with Otamendi and Richarlison to Yedlin and Pogba.
Rather Pogba and Azpi/ Alonso over Hazard and a defender.
Wow, S. Ward continuing to attract buyers. If he actually gets a big return in one of the next couple his ownership is going to mega-explode.
Can't believe he's 5.0 when Mee is only 4.6
I think a lot of people just buy the player who has the most points...
The power of being near the top of the list. Almost tempted to cash in on him for Mee!
What to do with this lot? 1FT

Andy streaming tonight?
No, postpones
Which scores highest over next 2-3 weeks?
A) Pogba, Sterling, Otamendi (-8)
B) Pogba, Sterling, Mariappa (-4)
C) Pogba, Vardy, Mariappa
...hoping A!!
Cheers
A easy.
C
Sorry miss read A
Jones only miss this gameweek? I wonder if it is pointless to make -4 change..
Fabianski - Elliot
Jones - Duffy - Lowton - Moreno - Mariappa
Salah - Silva - Sane - Richarlison - RLC
Kane - Lukaku - Abraham
And I wonder play Abraham or RLC?
I honestly think he can’t play every three days and will be rested for the big games
Need to bring in a defender this weekend ..long term better option? Have Otamendi Moreno Ward Jones
A) Davis
B) Trippier
C) Daniels
I went Jones>Daniels for a -4
