50/50 to be honest, I would trust utd to park the bus and save the transfer, Spurs game has 0-0 up in big neon lights for me

I wouldnt waste a transfer on that. Chelsea looked all over the place defensively against arsenal.

As long as it doesn't cost.

Good points guys. I might just stick with De Gea. Matic and Valencia are set to return, so they should be more solid defensively.

Kepa and the Chelsea defence generally looked dodgy.
Pickford or Lloris?

Save

Baily and firminio not showing for form of last year

Maybe Robertson and mata ?

Mata is a gamble though

Ditch firmino and or Bailly

Mahrez is a worry, id do him to mane if funds permit, possibly facilitated by king to wilson/inngs.

Mahrez - your guess is as good as mine with regards to playing time. Luiz - if you’re not playing him v Newcastle isn’t it worth upgrading elsewhere? Like the rest!

VVD is good but Robertson would give you more likely points IMO

Mahrez isn’t proven yet, don’t gamble and go for an obvious points scorer

Bench cost is high, put so of that into upgrading Mahrez

Just feel you need one if not two of : Mane, Alonso , Hazard ....

Arse cover?

I think Stephens but it depends whether you mind the imminent drop or not. If I was on my wildcard this week I'd wait until he potentially drops and get him.

As it is, I've got Westwood who is nowhere near dropping. (and probably/hopefully nailed enough)

I really don't like any of them and I will be upgrading Stephens to Kante, but if you do want one then Stephens.

Stephens for minutes

4.5’s are just 2 pointers, you will not get anything special there

Stephens

Reduced involvement for family and health reasons

Wingbacks get less points than attacking midfielders

Yep. I was disagreeing so hard when he said Bilva to Mkhi was an upgrade.

Only have three city players - for me that’s Mendy, Ederson and Kun

Stay away from the ever rotating mids at city

Wingback or winger he looked uninvolved but I'll give him 1 or 2 more games to see if it was a new gameplan crafted specially for Hud or all bottom teams

I think it's crazy people are looking to get rid. He may be rotated of course, but as of yet there is no indication of that happening. Even if he is rotated he may still be good value given how free scoring Man City are and the fixtures they have.

Was gonna chop him out for miki to get arse cover?

yes, he took 2-3 short corners and made a lot touches near the flag :))))

Would you really do that?

Pretty suicidal not to include Liverpool attacking cover for next two weeks..

no liverpool attackers ?

No Liverpool, I think this backs you into a corner. If things don't work out, no WC to fix it. Brave anyway.

No im not on a wildcard. If I was wildcarding I would be considering gaining a good lead with these fixturesm
Liverpool next few games after next week are pretty bad. Mane is only player likely to lose value on by removing as salah and robertson shouldn't b increasing. Easy few transfers once it clears up for Liverpool.
Just an alternative suggestion

Pool attach needed

Salah, he was very unlucky not to get 20+ against palace, mane was very lucky to get anything, was invisible for most of the game.

Salah, because he is my most expensive player and if I don't captain him I feel like it is money wasted.

Salah....just feel he has the best fixture.

You definitely could

Firm and erikson to aguero and rich possible? If so that leaves you in a good position imo.

Otherwise 1 FT, I'm guessing? I think it actually looks great as-is, solid but not template especially through the attack. I'd stick and maybe upgrade either Cairney or Gunnarson if you have the funds.

Why would you worry about a 4.5 fodder?

just leave him, the whole reason he is there is for 2 points in an emergency

transferring fodder for other fodder makes no sense. Just leave stephens to rot anyone who has transferred him out is likely a moron

You two do actually make sense on this and I will think about it again.

Thanks all mistake dodged

Mané is 9.8. Get him in if you can

Mane or miki

A differential might be hazard but you’d have to stretch your budget

Seems like you could do both Pedro and Miki. Don't really see the point of Neves, tbh, so I'd upgrade him. Otherwise, maybe David Silva, if you trust he'll play.

50/50

51/49

Slim

30% imo

Ederson for Walker? Takes away the rotation risk and probably a better overall chance for long-term points (If you're set on a City double-up in defense, that is)

Mendy will be rotated before walker is again imo.

He'll be back v Wolves. Perfect oppo for Walker, Sterling and Mahrez to roast down the flanks.

I think Walker was rested. Same as Sterling because of the World Cup

o

Probably B if you're fine with taking the hit there...

B

Everyone who doesn't have Salah, I guess.

I'm actually looking at mane

Yes only two weeks worth of information. Need at least 4/5 for me

Well when I read Ville Ronke is playing his I thought, 'Damn it - I'm playing mine now!'

I think everyone should have at least two liverpool and two man city players hahaha

Moura cos of fixtures

Moura

Hazard

Former

Sarri said Hazard will take a week or two to start (after the last game)

Dilva

I think you need to make a transfer

Nay

Nay for - 8

Yes... As in, yes, that's crazy!

No. Rationale.

You know Bilva and Firmino play Wolves and Brighton this wee right? Could go spectacularly wrong

Thanks for the replies guys. I do think it is a bit crazy so will stick. Thanks

Waaa

Yeah

Looks good

I think Sterling is the best now he's had his rest

Dilva

Sterling
