    Before you will knee jerk with City players answer that question:

    What is more probably?

    A) City mids who are starting today will start next week too
    B) City mids who are benched today will start next week

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      A mix is most likely. Some will, some won't.

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        A or B ifd you had to choose

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      When you say mids, can we include Mendy ? 😉

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        he wont start every game mate. now its Walker so..

    3. 1569Tippins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      C) Some will start, some will be rotated... problem is finding the right ones haha

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        so more probably scenario is B

        1. 1569Tippins
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 7 days ago

          Nah, I think a mix of A and B I suppose... some will play both, then maybe miss the third game... some may play games 2 and 4... it's impossible to know really, which is why some managers avoid. If City weren't so explosive and capable of routs, I would perhaps avoid but they're so high scoring if you don't have some of their attackers you run the risk of being left behind.

    4. MarvelouSuccess
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      C) Pep rotates every week

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        so more probably is..

    5. JustPark
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      B

    6. TAT
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Mahrez has cost me enough points already. Will take him weeks to pay that back, so I'm getting rid tonight.

  2. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Mendy the 6.0 mill City winger 🙂

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Dribbles

    2. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      The winger who also gets clean sheets!

      1. 003
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        Robertson Mendy Alonso Bavies would be a great midfield for fpl

    3. G-Whizz

  4. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Jota and Mahrez to Hazard and Fraser for -4 no brainer?

    1. MarvelouSuccess
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      I prefer auba and alonso tbf

    2. Nicks93
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Sounds good

  5. Niho992
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Next week sane will play and mendy will be on the bench

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      That's fear talking 😉

  6. Chi not God
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Man City is a landmine at the moment , so unpredictable that man guardiola.. smh
    And what was all that talk about kun not starting?...
    Mendy , B.silva .... Leggooooo!!!

    1. gergin
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Not landmine, but goldmine.

  7. Bilbao Baggins
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Rupert the Horse.. RE my previous post I think Bernardo mY be number 10 today! Opposed to sing back.

    I think Bernardo Silva is is the best pick because you can accept a 7m5 being rotated for an amazing team
    You can't accept an 11 mil being rotated when nailed players like Mane etc are 9.5 mil

    1. Bilbao Baggins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Jesus I need to spell check my posts with this phone
      My apologies.

      1. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        So which is it then? Jesus or Bernardo?

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Also you're not going to captain Bilva so that's not at risk either.

      1. 1569Tippins
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        Definitely a factor this

      2. Bilbao Baggins
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        Very true yeah. I think he could be a gem this season.

  8. Willos Wanderers
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Goodbye Sane

  9. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Hey it me.

    Jamie Jackson.

    1. yakirh
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Go away and never come back

  10. jia you
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Glad I missed that Aguero nonsense before deadline or I might well have captained Eriksen!

  11. Yippeekiyay Mertersacker
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Should we really be surprised by City's line-up by now?

    Ludo said it about a year ago - Pep does not care about you FPL team, he only cares about winning his next game: http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2017/10/25/the-watchlist-updated-goalkeepers-4/?hc_page=6#hc_comment_16808758

    The moral of that story is, if you're going to have City, have a nailed bench...

  12. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Is City even profitable as a business?

    1. MyBall MyRules
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      How many premiership teams are profitable? Why would the owners need more money either way?

    2. Fantastisk
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Not without state sponsorship

    3. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      the size of the company has grown 3 times. They 'offset' their losses with the growth of the company

  13. Sterling is £11Mill..…
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Holeabas and captain Kun are my only real differentials in my mini league which I’m currently last in.

  14. Lazerball
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    352 with Fernandinho at rwb.
    Pep is expecting a Huddersfield bus so wants his technical best players from the start. I would expect 3 of Sterling Walker Sane and Mahrez to come on to good effect when Huddersfield go chasing the game later.

    That's how I see it. Kun(c), mendy and Bilva owner here

    1. noquarternt
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Senseless. Fernandinho is his best defensive mid.

      3cbs with Mendy and Bilva providing width and wing attack.

  15. alfast1c
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    I just hope Mane blanks!

  16. Fassy
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    With so many uncertainties I think Ederson is a great pick.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Here here

    2. Jules Rimet
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      at 5.5 sure, but probably during WC, not using 2FT or taking hits to get him in now.

    3. GXNG
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      That only leaves space for 1 City attacker though..

  17. Scotty B
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Sanchez, King & Kamara > Mkhitaryan, Morata & Ings for -4 yay or nay?

    DDG
    Coleman Cook VVD
    Richarlison Salah Sanchez Mane
    King Aguero Kamara

    Boruc AWB Schneiderlin Peltier

    1. Willos Wanderers
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Why take a -4?

    2. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Just King out

  18. Emiliano Sala
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Is luiz nailed? I prefer getting him 1.0 cheaper. Don't like alonso's heatmap

    1. MyBall MyRules
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      I own luiz, but I'd much rather own Alonso :/

      1. COLLIN QUANER
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        This

      2. Emiliano Sala
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        Of course after those returns
        But he will not score or assist each game

    2. JustPark
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Heatmaps are overrated!

    3. Feeling_blue
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Chelsea aren't solid defensively so won't keep many CS. Since Luiz is a major reason for that I wouldn't be too surprised to see Christensen get some game time at some point. You get Alonso for the attacking returns so Luiz doesn't really cover him.

  19. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    How do you think City are actually playing? This team could be shaped all sorts of different ways...

    Stone Kompany Laporte
    Fernandinho Gundogan
    Dilva Bilva Mendy
    Jesus Aguero

    Or

    Stones Kompany Laporte
    Bilva Fernandinho Mendy
    Gundogan Dilva
    Jesus Aguero

    Or even something else. I have no idea until they actually roll it out.

    1. Scratch
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      3-1-4-2 like this time last season

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        So

        Stones Kompany Laporte
        Fernandinho
        Dilva Gundogan Bilva Mendy
        Jesus Aguero

  20. MyBall MyRules
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    No walker, otamendi, mahrez, sane or sterling....pep is breaking a lot of hearts already and we're only two weeks in.

    1. Fantastisk
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Same thing happened last season. Some people never learn.

    2. colin1201
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      the exact reason why i'm fearful of getting Bsilva in.
      Never know when he's going to get benched!

      1. MyBall MyRules
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        I could handle bsilva getting benched, but have an £11M mid on the bench would seriously hurt

  21. istanbul05
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Would you do King to Zaha and bank a FT before he plays if the price drop means you couldn’t do it later in the week?

    Pickford,
    Mendy, Robbo, Cook,
    Salah, Mane, Bilva, Richarlison,
    Kun, Arnie, King.

    Stek, Tomkins, AWB, Stephens.

  22. Horlicks esq.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    This really is a poor start to the season for me. I think it might be my worst start in 12 years. 1,600,000th (vom)

    Might have to WC already. King, Rashford 2 of my front 3. Need Aguero to turn it on.

    1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Ur doing better then me, when bavies instead of Trippier, went tosun instead of rich. And king do nothing either

  23. Finnish Fish
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Should I just stick with my plan and switch Kun for Auba next week? I have Sterling and I can’t really have two 11.0 rotation risk players, right?

    1. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      That was my plan too, and I am likely to do that. I can see it being Aguero's turn to be rested next week anyway.

  24. theroadrunner
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    For all the stupid F's that didn't see the lineup: Fernandinho is rwb and bilva is playing behind aguero and jesus.

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Not necessarily. There are lots of different ways they can format those 11 players. We won't know until the game itself.

      1. theroadrunner
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        Nibba however the team structures itself, the official premier league lineup is like that.

    4. Fantastisk

  25. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    My 3 City players all start...which probably means they will all be dropped next week.

    1. MyBall MyRules
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      Snap. I was smug for about 2 seconds before realising that all 3 will probably miss wolves

  26. LewanGOALski
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 days ago

    Yesterday I bought Mahrez in for Sanchez. Feeling strange, though as he’s benched today, he should play next I suppose

    1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      He'll come on at some point

  27. Oooof

    Will probably do Tosun and King > Zaha and Mitrovic, with 2FT and exact money.

    Any of them looking likely to rise soon, or can I hold the transfers a few days?

  30. Woy of the Wovers

    Such a shame. Was looking forward to those Fraser bench points.

    1. colin1201
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 days ago

      I feel you.
      Had Wan-Bissaka and Mendy on my bench last week too

      1. Bath Alty
        • 17 Years
        8 years, 7 days ago

        I benched Fraser and AWB last week and so learnt my lesson and played Fraser this week......benching Mihki.....
