    WHY DID I NOT (C) AGUERO

    1. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      because you had better options?

      1. Khark
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Genuinley because I thought he’d be rotated away from home.

        Aguero the man.

        1. Critical Observer
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Only in the minds of FFSers would the most in-form player in the league get "rotated" 2 matches into a new season.

  2. Davemc23
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    So it seems like mahrez, sane and sterling (I know he is playing today) are unviable options at the moment. Kun, ederson and mendy is the way forward

    1. Khark
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Add Dilva to that

  3. Siggy in the Middle
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Guessing that's Bilva on the right and Sterling on the left as an inside forward. Hopefully he cuts in and allows Mendy to bomb forward. And hopefully Aguero scores a hat trick because I got him in for a hit.

    Either way, I've 3/3 City players starting.

  4. BenDavies
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    On a side note, City's bench is stupidly good. Like a FIFA career mode bench.

    1. Sponge-worthy
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I'm thinking PES but I agree.

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Except in fifa they moan and leave for peanuts 😆

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

      Not so sure about Muric though, will be tough to win the league for City with a weakness in their back-up GK...

  5. thepeen555

    7 years, 3 months ago

    I actually changed my captain to aguero then saved it then changed to mane again and saved it and then tried to do aguero again but I don’t know if anyone they last 2 saved so I’m not actually sure who my captain is but either I can handle I guess lol

    Thank you, morons.

  7. Don Rogers FC

    Very Happy that I shipped Sane for Mikhy. Not so sure I am happy that I took the armband off Kun though.

    Time will tell.

  8. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Bilva dropped?

    1. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Nope

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Why is he not starting?

        1. In Like Flynn.
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          He is as you know.

        2. ClassiX
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          He is starting

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

    Ederson
    Walker Kompany Laporte Mendy
    Silva Fernandinho Gundogan
    Bernardo Kun Sterling

    GTG?

    1. Siggy in the Middle
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yup, you'll walk your mini leagues.

  10. Hot Fuzz
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    is the lineup out yet?

    1. Khark
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Ederson Walker Laporte Kompany Mendy Fernandinho Gundogan Dilva Bilva Aguero Sterling

      1. Hot Fuzz
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        thanks

  11. child of God
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Bilva out could turn out to be very costly for me unless pedro does ridiculously well

  12. Pieterke30
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    If I were Nuno ES, would have started Traore to run havoc in the spaces behind Mendy. Weird choice not to imo.

  13. Agger
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Özil cpatain fail
    Aguero vice captain fail

    1. El Lobito 10
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Painful

      1. El Lobito 10
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Could be worse. Two years ago my mate triple captained Aguero when he got a minus one for a grand triple captain total of -3 😀

  14. El Lobito 10
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Gondogan good shout?

  15. Mcgugan
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Mahrez and non-playing 4.5 mid to:

    Pedro and anotbody 7.2 or below. Mhki?

    Both for free and avoids WC after Rich issue. Yes or no?

  16. Mcgugan
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    I haven’t seen the issue, but is there a chance Richarlson could be banned for multiple games?
