    People surpriced that Pep rotates his mids! 😆

    I thought that people, esp here, are exerienced enough to know how it works with City and how it was last season - pick a mid from City that you like, keep him long term, expext odd bench but points while playing most of the time. The thing is that City is so strong and now also have good fixtures that its good to have their players even if they will be benched from time to time.
    Dont make that mistake and don't chace points esp with City mids as you will most probably get burned and a big chace that a player who starts today will be benched next game.

      This. You know the risks.

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Its not the risk. Its just how it works. We all should know that. How simple is that.

    2. Penang Sandman
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      casuals are the one who are really here most of the time trying to copying ideas rather than watching games and scout players themselves

  2. *sigh*
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Kun captainers, finding his name is on the team sheet should be the easy bit. Now comes the hard bit.

    1. Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      True but the main thing is that he’s on the sheet

    2. Totalfootball
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Na , finding his name on team sheet is the hard bit .
      Now its easy .
      He will be in the points today .

      1. *sigh*
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Fingers crossed

    3. yakirh
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I think its the other way around, can't see him blanking in this game, just can't

    4. Lokako
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Is it to soon to lol @ salah cappers? Then when is it safe to lol?

  3. Hardly Athletic
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Should I get rid of Mahrez for GW3? Fed up of having City players on the bench. It was KDB last week.

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      That is a bit unlucky

    2. Dont_Win_Friends_With_Salah…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      If he is benched this week then he will probably play next week. That's my logic... If still on the bench next week, get rid.

    3. TheDragon
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I’m considering Mahrez + 4.5 defender to Mkhi and Alonso

    4. JJeyy
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      hopefully will start next week tho

    5. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Buy Sterling next 😆

  4. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    I brought Sterling In for this week....major fail

    1. MarvelouSuccess
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Your own fault knowing that pep rotates regularly

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        True. I thought out of all of them though he’d be nailed as Pep loves him and he’s only played 1 game

    2. Totalfootball
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Can still come on and give u points

    3. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Sturridge scored last week with 3 minutes of game time. Have faith.

    4. Finnish Fish
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Same, half time 0-0 Sterling on and 2 goals 😉

    5. Rust Cohle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Chin up. Sterling was on the bench only a handful of times last year and, when he was brought on, he was 50/50 for a goal or an assist. I suspect he’ll come on and has better than those odds against HUD.

  5. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    wtf is this formation btw? 3-2-3-2?

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Laporte playing as a fullback.

      1. Delph & Safety
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Can’t see that, but we’ll see. Laporte is left footed and Mendy will be on the left, presumably,

        1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Possible I guess. We will see 🙂

    2. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Could also be 4 at the back?

      1. JD @JDCochran2
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        3-4-3

        Stones Kompany Laporte
        Mendy GUD Ferd D Silva
        B Silva Kun Jesus

  6. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Usually hate Pep for his rotation. But today, as an Aguero(c), I am loving he has merc'd so many people.

    1. Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Glad I stuck to my guns and left the armband on him. For a minute I’d switched it to Sterling

    2. Delph & Safety
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yep, it’s feels to have Agüero capt with Mendy and Bilva.

      Hopefully it pays off and City run riot.

    3. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      It's likely to be your turn next week...

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        That's fine. I am going Auba(c) next week.

    4. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Hypocrite, weren’t you talking down captaining Aguero yesterday?

      You’re red flagged 😉

  7. TheDragon
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    What’s Aguero’s effective ownership?

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      125.5%

      1. noquarternt
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        😀

      2. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        In top 10k

        Closer to 50% overall

  8. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Feeling lucky Mendy wasn't benched tbh.

  9. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    For those who read my post on Jamie Jackson and did Aguero (c), well done!

    1. yakirh
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      That was scary though

    2. JamTart
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I wish I had!

      I had a match to go to yesterday so had to just set the team and leave it. Have to say I'm disappointed. But salah isn't a terrible option.

      In future I'll stick to my guns. As I already knew (then doubted)... AGUERO STARTS AT HOME

  10. Sterling is £11Mill..…
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Kun is getting a hatti today for sure, it’s written in the stars.

    1. Lokako
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yepp and then we lol

  11. Epic Fail
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    I might consider winning FPL this year.

    1. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Nice

    2. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Too much effort for me

      1. yakirh
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        lol

  12. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    bilva a favourable pick as long as you have a decent bench, cheap enough that it’s not disastrous if he’s rotated, good enough that he can haul if he starts

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yeh rotation in that midfield isn't so bad at 7.5m

  13. Scheister
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Which should I start today??
    (Daily fantasy league)

    A) Stephen Ward (WAT)
    B) Gross (MUN)

  14. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Accepting that this is the sort of rotation we'll be treated to all season, maybe the trick with City is just to stick to cheaper players like Ederson, Mendy & Bilva.

    They will likely still be benched at at some point but at least you're not risking 10m+ of your budget.

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Fernandinho for B Silva 😉

    2. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I’m sticking with Kun Mendy while having reliable bench players. Only captaining Kun on the odd occasion over Salah. My heart can’t take it after this week!

  15. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    The Mendy(c)ers may just be absolute masterminds today

    1. windowview
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I wanted to do this but was groupthinked into choosing Salah. My fault of course for being so easily persuaded, but I really think Mendy will be a great captain

  16. Wirtzle Gummidge
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Sofascore app switched the City formation from 352 to 3412.

    Bsilva in the hole.

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Dilva RWB/RM?

      1. Wirtzle Gummidge
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Fernandinio, Gundogan, DSilva, Mendy

    2. Pukki Party
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Could play Stones in midfield and Fernandinho RB

  17. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Hoping for an early City goal to open the floodgates. If not, Hudds could be tricky to break down, similar to last year.

  18. Andy Mac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Bottomed....

    So if I break my team down in to the following groups. Who would you change and why??!

    Premium - Salah - Mane - Aguero - Auba

    Mid price - Richarlison - Mendy - Alonso - TAA

    Budget players - Neves - Patricio - WB - Peltier - Masuaku

    Cheers!!

    1. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Team looks great.Only Peltier needs monitoring.

      1. Andy Mac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers for that! Yeah agree re: Pelts. Would go for Bennett tbf but double wolves defence could be a bit risky!!

    2. Leeroy Jenkyns
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I'd get 2 more players. Only 13.

      1. Andy Mac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Haha! Didn’t feel the need to call out Hamer as there aren’t any other 4.0 GKs playing and I’ve just brought in Ings for King so can’t drop him already!! 😉

  19. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    I told you guys not to pick Walker, Sane, Sterling and Mahrez 😉

  20. Cruz88
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Sterling captain and Vardy in my team

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Sterling can easily come on and score

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        He can also easily come on for one point

  21. Maddi Son
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Hart & Hamer look tempting. Felt dodgy with Hart before but Hamer looking nailed too.

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Hamer is woefully bad

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Wagner said in his presser that Lossl still wasn't ready, fully expect him to step back in when 'ready'.

  22. Taking the Mkhitaryan
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Love the deja vu on here
    Week 2 last year, rumours Mane wasnt playing as he wasnt in training photos
    He played and scored and Salah was the one who didn't start

  23. Leaf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Any further Sanchez news ?

    Seen walking his dogs? ,playing pool with Jlinz ? partying in with Brighton hen party ?

  24. Scotty B
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    I have Sanchez (C) & Aguero (vc) so this afternoon is going to be very interesting

  25. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Mahrez get out of my team yah useless lump

  26. Skalla
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Wow was right with the 3-5-2 with Aguero and Jesus starting but did not expect Sterling and Walker to be dropped , Pep always has atleast one surprise in store!

  27. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Not owing Mendy is starting to scare me.

    Would you take out Van Aarnolt or Shaw?

    Any Man U fans willing to speculate on the possibility that Shaw will his spot?

    1. Skalla
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Shaw long term , Pva is still a good option

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Shaw will always be a risk of being benched. Always.

    3. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Shaw out

    4. JustPark
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Shaw.

  28. ☈☾

    Who's playing on the right flank for City?

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Fernandinho

  29. 1569Tippins
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Have any of you lot gone through the lower end of your work leagues and actually had a look at the teams and managers you're up against?

    There's a lad who follows football, knows football inside out and is a proper all round sports fan. For him not to have ANY MAN CITY players at all. Rotation threat aside, Man City are almost certainly going to be one of the highest scoring teams in the league again this season, so why go without their players?? It's baffled me this.

    Then there's a lass who has captained GIROUD GW1 and GW2... her Man City 'coverage' is DANILLO and FERNANDINHO... on and she has KANE 3rd sub vs FULHAM. Honestly... what's the point of even creating a team?

    1. Jules Rimet

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Knowing football doesn't mean they know how to play FPL.

      1. 1569Tippins
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I understand that, but surely it isn't a difficult concept to grasp... a team/player who scores the most goals is likely to get the most points... I don't understand his logic.

        Anyway... makes it easier for me but I just wish they'd have a better understanding and put more into FPL.

    3. Norman Conquest
      • 12 Years

      i went through the lower end of my work league last night and found myself looking at my own team sigh
