    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
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

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

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

        A or B ifd you had to choose

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

      When you say mids, can we include Mendy ? 😉

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

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

    3. 1569Tippins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

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

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

        so more probably scenario is B

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

      C) Pep rotates every week

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

        so more probably is..

    5. JustPark
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      B

    6. TAT
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months 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
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Mendy the 6.0 mill City winger 🙂

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

      Dribbles

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

      The winger who also gets clean sheets!

      1. 003
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Robertson Mendy Alonso Bavies would be a great midfield for fpl

    3. G-Whizz

    6. Take my uptoke gentle sir

  4. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

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

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

      I prefer auba and alonso tbf

    2. Nicks93
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Sounds good

  5. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

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

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      That's fear talking 😉

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

      Not landmine, but goldmine.

  7. Bilbao Baggins
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months 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
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

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

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

        So which is it then? Jesus or Bernardo?

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

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

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

        Definitely a factor this

      2. Bilbao Baggins
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

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

  8. Willos Wanderers
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Goodbye Sane

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

    Hey it me.

    Jamie Jackson.

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

      Go away and never come back

  10. jia you
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

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

  11. Yippeekiyay Mertersacker
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months 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
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Is City even profitable as a business?

    1. MyBall MyRules
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

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

    2. Fantastisk
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Not without state sponsorship

    3. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months 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
    7 years, 7 months ago

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

  14. Lazerball
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months 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
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Senseless. Fernandinho is his best defensive mid.

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

  15. alfast1c
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    I just hope Mane blanks!

  16. Fassy
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

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

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Here here

    2. Jules Rimet
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

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

    3. GXNG
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      That only leaves space for 1 City attacker though..

  17. Scotty B
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months 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
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Why take a -4?

    2. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Just King out

  18. Emiliano Sala
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

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

    1. MyBall MyRules
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

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

      1. COLLIN QUANER
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        This

      2. Emiliano Sala
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

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

    2. JustPark
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Heatmaps are overrated!

    3. Feeling_blue
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months 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
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 7 months 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
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

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

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

        So

        Stones Kompany Laporte
        Fernandinho
        Dilva Gundogan Bilva Mendy
        Jesus Aguero

  20. MyBall MyRules
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months 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
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Same thing happened last season. Some people never learn.

    2. colin1201
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

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

      1. MyBall MyRules
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

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

  21. istanbul05
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months 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
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 7 months 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
      7 years, 7 months ago

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

  23. Finnish Fish
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months 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
      7 years, 7 months 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
    7 years, 7 months 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
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      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
        7 years, 7 months ago

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

    4. Fantastisk
      • 7 Years

      Rekt

      Stupid F's Triggered Bump XDDDDD

  25. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

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

    1. MyBall MyRules
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

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

  26. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months 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
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      He'll come on at some point

  27. Oooof

    I’m not a fan of Jamie Jackson! Lol

  28. GAMBIT

    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
    • 15 Years

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

    1. colin1201
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

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

      1. Bath Alty
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

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