The Technical Area – Man City’s Attack, Home vs Away

An unceremonious defeat at the hands of League One Wigan may have scuppered Pep Guardiola’s quest for a legendary quartet of titles but Manchester City’s Premier League form has been as strong as ever.

After sweeping five goals past Leicester in their final fixture before the FA Cup break, City have now found the net an impressive 79 times this season – a full 18 clear of their nearest rival, Liverpool.

With five attackers – Kevin De Bruyne, Raheem Sterling, Leroy Sane, David Silva and Sergio Aguero – all past the 100-point threshold in Fantasy Premier League (FPL), City have clearly proven themselves to represent our most reliable source of regular Fantasy points.

As 19,000 delirious Wigan fans discovered on Monday night, however, there is a marked difference between City’s form at home and on their travels.

In this latest Technical Area article for members, we will put this under scrutiny, with particular reference to the merits of keeping faith in Man City’s attacking assets.

      Of If you don't habe firmino mane is a good pick... triple Liverpool attack may be too much imo

    3. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years

      Mane

    4. Emiliano Sala

      Eriksen plays as CM, too deep for me to consider

      Erik

    Sorry, bottomed. Here are my plans for GWs up to GW 31 (won't play FH). 2FTs 0.2 ITB. What do you think fellas?

    Current team:

    Adrian (Elliot)
    Dunk Jones Maguire (Bauer Mbemba)
    Pogba Eriksen Salah Miki Sterling
    Kane Firmino (DCL)

    Planned transfers:

    GW28: Pogba, Jones, Adrian -> Walcott, VVD, Foster (-4)
    GW29: roll FT
    GW 30: Dunk -> Dawson (potentially bench VVD for Man U away)
    GW 31: Miki, DCL -> Shaq, Wilson

    Gives me this playing for GW31:

    Foster
    Bauer Dawson VVD
    Salah (C) Walcott Shaq
    Firmino Wilson

      Wouldn't be doubling up on West Brom defence, very poor defensively. Bournemouth and Stoke perhaps more likely to get CS from now until GW31

        Bournemouth are a shambles at the back I dont see them keeping anyone out!

          I don't like the look of any GW31 defence expect Pool. Think I'm going Bauer, VVD/Robertson and Marriapa (current bench fodder) and that's it. Can you see any clean sheets for GW31 teams?

      Solid moves if you want a 'decent' 31 team I guess

    Been so busy recently, totally lost touch.

    Any help would be grand, currently have ;

    DDG

    Laporte, Ogbonna, Jones
    BSilva, Hazard, Salah, Sterling, Milivojevic
    Vardy, Kane

    Elliot, Niasse, Kenny, Lascelles

    I have 2 FT. 0ITB I was looking at getting shut of Hazard with his up coming games and freeing up some cash to use elsewhere. Thoughts?

  4. TerryVenables

    Adrian (Elliot)
    Alonso - Mee - Simpson
    Walcott - Shaqiri - sterling - Salah - Pogba*
    Firm - Kane

    Shindler - DCL - obgonna

    2 FT 1.0 ITB

    Ideas?

    2FT 0m. FH, BB and WC left. Thoughts on below to set up for BGW31?

    A - Hazard + Lingard ----> Mane + Walcott
    B - Hazard --> Mane (save transfer)
    C - Jones ---> Hegazi / Robertson (save transfer)

    Current team:
    Pope (Adrian)
    Alonso Duffy Naughton (Otamendi) (Jones)
    Salah(C) Hazard Son Sterling (Lingard)
    Kane Wilson Niasse

    Alonso will b rested or not? Jones>Davies or VVD

    1. the_king
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 27 days ago

      VVD because davies has a risk of rotation

    2. El Lobito 10
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 27 days ago

      I'd be surprised if he is rested

  8. El Lobito 10

    Captain Mané FTW. Yay or nay?

  9. Tosa86
    • 6 Years

    my actaul team is below:

    Pope - Foster
    Hegazi - Smalling - Davies - Dunk - Ward
    Deulofeu - Salah - Sterling - Gross - Milivojevic
    Aguero - Lukaku - Firmino.

    Regarding GW 31 at the moment i have out the below player:
    Pope
    Smalling
    Dunk
    Ward
    Sterling
    Gross
    Aguero
    Lukaku

    I have only the Wild Card to play, my doubt is: If i can play the WC for this GW, i need to choose play in only below teams:

    Spurs
    Newcastle
    Bournemouth
    West Brom
    Huddersfield
    Crystal Palace
    Stoke
    Everton
    Liverpool
    Watford

    How to after GW 31 return with a competitive team???
    Maybe i can change only 2 players with FH???
