Paul We delve into the Opta data next, rolling out our usual post-Gameweek members’ article.
Both Merseyside clubs play a part in our assessment, while we also check out the contrasting fortunes from West Ham and Watford’s goal scoring midfielders.
Southampton’s in-form frontman is also among our featured players, as is a certain Man City wide man after a weekend return to the scoresheet.
A) Hazard -> KdB
B) Hazard and Mbemba -> KdB and Ogbonna (-4)
C) Save FT
Got 0.1m ITB, and exact funds for B.

Which move would you make to fund silva > sterling? 2 fts
A. Bony > depoitre or quarner
B. Tarkowski > Kenny
Wait for pressers to see bony and tarkowski and silva situations first
B. Because Burnley have tough games coming up. But prefer Tark to Holgate.
Price Changes - 20th December 2017
🔻 Kolasinac (6.1), Ramsey (7.0), Matic (4.8), Atsu (4.8), Afellay (4.8)
Cheers. No Quarner rise. Nice
Probably stupid but I took a hit for Niasse to Quaner earlier.
I really needed that .2 that will probably be lost tomorrow if not today.
Hits for price changes? Wow
silva survives
Cheers TM
thanks
Cheers mate
0 up, 0 down
Exciting stuff
cheers TM
Thanks T. M.
No targets rising. Get to see tomorrow's results. Blessed
thanks TM
glad that kiko survives
Both on fire.
Until recently would have always said KDB is guaranteed more minutes!
60:40 to sterling for explosiveness
60:40 to KDB in consistency ( but sterling making inroads )
Basically it's close, but one is way way less expensive.
Likely that you can spread the excess money elsewhere to improve on any points that KDB will get over sterling.
jmo
Obviously posted under the wrong comment!
Cheers TM !!!
Just in time Kola leaves my team did a third time. Cheers TM.
cheers TM
If money was no object, would you rather have KDB or Sterling?
KDB- in the form of his life, motivated and going for player of the year award
KDB
Sterling IMO
If only having 1 I would go for Sterling
In my case I would only have one of them, yes.
Sterling
I don't particularly like Sterling as a player and KDB is different gravy, proving himself to be world class this season thus far.
In saying that the positions Sterling finds himself in every game he plays! City's top scorer, nuff said.
So, I'd rather KDB but Sterling is probably the better pick! 🙂
Reasonable summary
KDB
KDB
A. KDB Austin
B. Sane Firmino
b as Firmino is a much better choice than Austin while there is little difference between de Bruyne and Sterling fpl wise.
the question is about Sane
yeah, saw that
but point still stands imo don´t you think?
B
Sane is my only City attacker and I want to give him the armband v BOU especially after his performance v Spurs.
But that devil on my shoulder is whispering to me again 'he's one of our own...' 😉
go with your gut but he's hurt me too many times this season
the trouble is my gut will always go Kane - that's why I cant wait to bloody sell him!
It's a hard one. Maybe he goes on another run of double digit hauls again. I think he needed that rest.
Good diff if it comes off
Yeah, I just keep thinking abou BOU, they don't really know how to shut up shop like some of the lesser teams! And even if they did, City are still far too good, the form that they're in!!
I feel 3-0 at least, 4 or 5 probable and more quite possible! It's still difficult to predict where the majority of the points will come from but most City assets look captainable imo!
Kane to Kun(-4), which I haven't even considered until now, might well be the answer haha!
Yeah, similar here. Tempted to captain Sane or Kaku.
No way I captain Kaku away to LEI over a City attacker at home to BOU I think! Pogba is a factor though and could get MUn firing again!
Pogba is the factor. Leicester have played 120 mins. Kaku could feast in the last 5-10 mins.
fair point mate, go for it, GL!
Captain kane
Klavan worth a punt after ARS? Only 4.3....
Not nailed when Matip comes back
Klopp said Matip could feature in games during xmas. He's back in training. Shame because Klavan has played really well and i'm not sure Klopp will drop Lovren, when he should.
Fab Elliot
Otamendi Christensen Ward Wimmer Kenny
Salah Hazard Coutinho Richarlison RLC
Kane Morata DCl
1ft; 0.0m itb
A. Kane + RLC to Firmino + Sterling fir -4
or
B. Morata + RLC to Austin + Sterling for -4?
a
Neither but a if you had to do one
Morata and Richarlison to Firmino and Sterling
If you had both Sterling and KDB who would you rather captain this week?
Kdb or toss a coin
Usually Sterling. But KdB is in form now. 50/50 imo
I'm on KDB (c) and Sterling (vc)
KDB
I posted about the same dilemma earlier. I’m currently on KDB but the consensus seemed to be Sterling.
I've both but atm going KDB. Will no doubt flip several times between now & deadline though.
Worth doing?
Kane Richardilson RIC -4
Austin Sane Sterling
nah
Which one do you have now?
Not worth
Anyone thinking about going with one premium up front to enable a 5 man strong midfield grouping?
That's how iv played last 4gw and it's moved me 2nd in my ml and 74k or from 350k
Craxy talk
Yep doing it myself with Kane up top and 5 8m + midfielders and if it doesn't work I'll always have the second wild card.
Everyone is thinking about it. Not sure how many are doing yet though.
I'm thinking about it, I have Morata and DCL. But I can't decide which third cheap striker I should get. With Christmas coming up I need someone who is playing most matches.
No. 2 is fine, but 1 too much. Can do well enough with 2 for me...
If I go with Kane, DCL and Depoitre, it enables me to have a mid group of:
Hazard, Sterling, Salah, Pogba and Coutinho.
Will only need one of the two forwards to play each GW.
Surely having Pogba at 7.9 instead of Morata (10.7 + a rotation risk) is a better outcome?
I'm doing 5 most weeks, but with 2 of Richarlison, Austin and DCL playing each week.
Bench one...
A) Gross
B) DCL
DCL for sure
B for me
Dcl
Ok. Thank you all!
For probably the first time this season, I'm pretty happy with this lot... does Moreno need to go or is he coming back this week?
Coutinho / Elliott
Alonso/ Jones/ Monreal/ Moreno/ Kenny
Salah/ Silva/ Sterling/ Richarl/ Carroll
Kane/ Morata/ DCL
0.1 1FT
If I don't move Moreno I'm tempted to save? Or have you seen a gremlin?
Didn't know Coutinho was a goalie!
Ha ha. That's 1.30am for you... Courtois of course..
I'd be happy with Coutinho in goals too. I think you should be good to field 11 this week if you save even without Silva and Moreno
Yup... I'm guessing it's going to be a strong of these... outside of playing a midfielders sticks...?
Yeah the problem I see with Moreno is he will be rotated now even if he is back soon. His injury has given Robertson a chance and even if Moreno is first choice Klopp will be confident enough to play Robertson. Moreno has lost his medium-long term appeal to me. I would be trading him
Coutinho in goal? xD
😉 anyone else?
Wait....Coutinho in goal???
I'd be happy if I had coutinho goal as well
Wait on Silva news I think.
One last post before bed. Worth doing RLC Firmino > Sterling Quavner
Courtois
Valencia Ota Christen
Salah Sterling Rich Coutinho Haz
Kane Quavner
Who's on your bench? You need someone coming on from the bench as Quaner isn't nailed on.
Probably as you have no city at all. I'd be tempted to ride the Firmino wave of form if I owned him though
I'm gonna pull the trigger on this I think this works out.
Valencia Firmino Rich RLC
Out for Sane Sterling Crouch Ogbonna -8
Courtois
Oggonna Ota Christen
Salah Haz Sterling CoutSane
Kane Crouch
Looks decent. Whatever you do leave a little in the bank to upgrade Crouch if needed?
I'd probably get rid of coutinho first - no need for 2 x liv mids with no city mids...
Not worth
Which ones lads?
a) Sterling + Alonso + Smalling/Jones 0.3 ITB
b) KDB + Smalling + Jones 0.1 ITB
A
A
A
A all day
A
A
Not B
Choupo & Silva to Lingard & Sterling for -8? (If Silva is out)
Just take silva out
Choupo is useless right now!
I'd rather someone else than lingard
Otamendi is a "must play" this week so play 2...
A) Maguire
B) Cédric
D) Mee
E) Hegazi
BE
On fixtures yes. But I would not be surprised if Mee kept Spurs out!!
Bench Mee for Simpson last week now that looks silly - at least I had Pope.
Of course burnley could keep spurs out but the other 2 teams have a better chance at a clean sheet imo
Ok, thank you both!!
BA
Ok, thanks mate!
Given the fact that Sane didn't start the cup game... Who gets armband?
Sane (BOU), Kaku (lei) or Haz (eve)?
Sane is a nice diff hopefully he is back on form now. I will probably C Sterling and VC Sane
Kaku
I see a number of KDB or Sterling for captain questions. What if you had both Sterling and Aguero? I kinda like the look of Aguero as a differential captain, at home, to Bournemouth, after Jesus just played 120 minutes.
I would cap Aguero worth the risk
Cheers.
Kun has done it before when he had no form. Risky though.
Back in the day when the choices were easy Kun or Kane or even Sanchez for a punt 🙂
Hadnt considered until 15 mins ago when I seen That Jesus played the whole game last night! I'm tempted to go Kane to Kun(C) for a -4 now. I've only got Sane who I'm a little reluctant to captain!
Thanks.
Yeah, I feel like I need a little shakeup and something different from the norm. It wouldn't even have to be a -4 for me since I still have my FT this week. That said, I'm tempted by a -8 that would set me up for a few weeks:
- Kane, RLC and Courtois to Aguero, Pogba and Adrian.
And I'd still have an easy path back to Kane in GW22 if I want it.
Who would be the playing keeper for 21 on the -8 option?
Free Kane to Kun could be a good punt.
That's the rub: I'd be banking on Elliot keeping his spot (which I feel pretty good about) - and he'd have Brighton at home.
seems the exact type of game that Kun goes mad out of the blue!
Nice -8 that especially if you captain Kun, could be gold if Kane blanks again (which is not that unlikely)!
I am very hit averse, but with the RLC to Pogba upgrade, and then having Adrian for the double (and their solid set of fixtures afterwards), I'm quite tempted.
Even if Kane scores a brace v BUR those moves could still be a good -8!
Do it! Wow I would
Just Kane to Kun, or the -8 one?
Rather captain city mid. Extra point for goal clean sheet and avoids pep rotation with Jesus the next gw
Cheers.
Rate team out of 10 for minus 8
Courtois
Ogbonna Ota Christen
Salah Haz Coutinho Sterling Sane
Kane Crouch
Elliot Lewin Ward Hun
Maybe a 9.
One utd defender for one of the 2 Che and someone else for Crouch and it would be really nice.
5/7
So either:
a) Morata + Grob —> Sterling Rooney (-8 points)
b) hold
Rest of playing mid/Fwds: Richil, Son, Mahrez
Playing fwds : Kane and Calvert Lewin
Worth taking -4 for this team? Involves 3 transfers
Pope Adrian
Mee Jones Alonso ota ogbona
Sane sterling hazard salah coutino
Rooney rashford quaner
Why not. That is an actual power 5.
And the defence is very strong.
The front line is what it is.
Thanks for feedback. Just seems more value in midfield thanks to city and pool formations
Pope and Adrian.dont rotate well..
Neither do Mee/Ogbonna
Midfield is spot on, but offence looks week. At least downgrade rashford and upgrade rooney to a premium
Going to play 451 352 so not too bothered about mee ogbona rotation. Don't see to much value in 8-9 mill forwards at the moment
DDG
Cédric - Maguire - Otamendi
Salah - Sterling(c) - Gross - Richarlison - Sané
Firmino - Kane
G2G?
Not sure about starting Maguire
Not Maguire, sorry. Hegazi!
How does this team look from gw22 and onwards?
Ederson
Christensen Jones Mustafi Gomez
Salah Coutinho Sterling Son
Morata Kane (c)
Subs: Krul Kenny RLC max 5.0 forward
Don't know about the Ederson, Mustafi and Gomez picks. But front 8 is similar to how I will go from 22 on.
Covering 5 out of the top 6 teams CS.. spreading the risk as well. Should be guarenteed at least 2 cs everyweek
Not gonna get a single West Ham player with those fixtures and DGW?
Nope.. thought strongly about it but got other transfers lined up, and dont want to take a hit.. ogbonna/masuaku might get 8-9 pts at the very best, but not gonna take a hit for it as other options will get 6-7.
GK's tend to do very well in DGW's. Save points and such. Given Spurs and West Ham actually got very nice fixtures after the DGW I would consider getting Adrian which could make way for Otamendi.
But IDK this game is so hard.. Considering -4 to swap Kane + Mariappa to Kun + Jones/Smalling, but Kun will be a pain in the *** to own after this GW
Gotta look beyond onei DGW.. dont know ifbaby Hart can win his spot back either.. rather go for nailed on players who plays for the better team.. Ederson is not getting any baps, but neither isis otamendi unless he grabs a goal.. Mustafi can do that as well.. and does that as well :). Great flexibility as well as any player can be brought in with two transfers
What would you do with this lot?
0,3 ITB
1 FT
Courtois
Otamendi, Masuaku, Mariappa
Salah, Sterling, Hazard, Zaha, Richarlison
Firmino, (K)ane
(Speroni, Monreal, DCL, Klavan)
A: Save
B: Monreal -> Jones/Smalling (bench Mariappa)
C: Kane + Mariappa -> (K)un + Jones/Smalling (In GW22 do Courtois + Kun --> (K)ane + Adrian)
D: Other?
In next GW I might consider Monreal -> Christensen straight swap for Chelsea double up or Zaha -> Lanzini/Arnautovic
C while trying to hold 2 FT for 22 don't seem bad
Speroni horrible 21 fixture is one thing to consider.
Will have Courtois in goal for GW 21 no worries
OR has been steadily dropping after making a great start to the season. Looking to take a -4 hit. 1 FT available.
Which set of transfer looks best? Team is as below:
Gomes Fabianski
Mee Ota Bellerin Jones Christensen
Hazard Salah Sterling Richarlison RLC
Kane Vardy Quaner
A) Richarlison+Vardy-> DCL+KDB
B) RLC+Vardy-> DCL+Sane/Pogba
C) Bellerin+Richarlison-> Ogbonna+Sane/Pogba
D) Bellerin-> Ogbonna. No hits
E) Save
B with Sane but Pogba a good option too.
Gtg??
Speroni
Alonso Jones Masuaku
Sane(C) Hazard Salah Gross Carroll
Kane Firmino
Bench: Hennessy Mbemba Mee Niasse
0 ft, 3,0 Itb
Do we think Morata will be rested for one of the next 3 before the arsenal game?
Decent chance.
Is this worth a -8 hit. Thanks in advance:
Kane out - Firmino in
Son out - KDB in
Moreno out - Christensen in
Will give me:
Pope (Elliot)
Otamendi, Jones, Christensen (Gomez, Mee)
KDB (c), Sterling, Salah, Hazard, Richarlison
Firmino, Rooney (DCL)
Which of these score the most points this weekend:
A. Sane(C) + Kane
B. Kane(C) + Sane
C. Aguero(C) + Sane (-4)
What happened to Pogba (C)? 😉
And I don't know, I think one of the two with Kane, but not sure which. Aguero is tempting though...
The more I think about BOU, I feel it must be a City player!
I've put my -8 on ice but now I'm considering a Kun(C) punt! I havent a clue what I'm doing this week really mate, all over the place 😉
Sort of the same here transfer-wise. I was set on keeping Jesus as a differential but not after 120 mins... I feel getting Aguero is a very short-term move as you know he'll be rotated next, so I wouldn't feel comfortable taking the risk, especially with a hit, for a non-nailed player.
On the other hand, if he hauls...!
I hear you but you never know with Pep, he could end up starting both Aguero & Jesus (although looks unlikely)! I'm just pissed off as I really want to sell Kane but can't find a worthwhile way this week without a -8. So prob best to stick and review again after the weekend I guess!
I don't think that's a bad call, Kane can easily get returns at Burnley.
A
cheers, you could be right there & Kun will only become a future issue!
I would really like to do the Kane -> Agüero for the next 3, but the problem is, that Kun will be such a pain to own after this GW. Had him earlier this season, and it made me get nervous ticks and all...
However I think so many managers will transfer Kane out when the blank arives and then straight back in.
Kane + Mariappa -> Kun (C) + Jones/Smalling just looks so great right now..
For -8 I think you should stick though, but if you stick with Kane just put the armband on him already. Otherwise ship. I am either keeping and (C) due to Burley suspension and injuries or getting rid till DGW. Not need for a 13 mil player in a team not in form given 1 point less pr. goal and no CS point.
unless you think he hauls - then (C) the man.
