depends how you plan to spend the 3m

Whichever you have at the moment

Why does it always have to be Mane?

What about Salah or Milner + £7.4m

It's the time of the season I usually WC so I'm going Mané + 3m

Allows me to get in Kane + Aguero + Mane + Hazard. Salah is a 3.2m too I can spend squeezing every inch of my budget.

To be fair, Salah will probably be less risk rotation once Champions League fixtures come into play

I think there's better value than Vardy and think that Zaha will outscore him.

Mitrovic for me. Talisman.

City concede. Mitrovic the player in form.

Yeah. Mitrovic, definitely.

Mitrovic by a country mile

Mitro. Natural goalscorer, great form.

B

Not until Aub shows some form

That will be higher, they do have time to press the button before deadline.

Two million of the teams are probably dead tbf

I think so. Ur bench has 3 players who can chip in points when called upon and an 11 who look good

Looks pretty nice

I'm definitely looking at him. Really should have had an assist yesterday. If I had an issue with defence or on WC he'd be in.

I think he's a good choice.

People won't like him on here because he not scored or assisted yet but I agree with you. He looks dangerous and is always making fwd runs . Get on it, starting the bandwagon rather than jumping on is what separates good players from the ones that follow 😉

I like him...could be a 4.4m bargain.

Could've scored in the last 2 GWs

Got him in this week but left him on the bench

Think he'll get attacking returns fairly soon

A worthy replacement for Peltier ?

Yeah looks good. Did Peltier to Doh yesterday as I heard Peltier was gonna drop.. Didnt happen but it feels good. 🙂

Not a huge fan of benching Robbo but I can see where you're coming from with this starting 11. You should have a good week.

Save the FT

Needs more West Ham

Too many players with question marks over game time in your 11 and on the bench. Could cost you dearly in any given gw and then you'll be playing catchup.

Two weeks of international football and you want to go early ?

If you want to go early just WC now and play the ££££ game - ASmith, Tomkins, Walcott, Stek, TAA, Wan-Bisakka, Hudson-Odoi all seem like a good enough reason 🙂

Kane could explode today as well. He loves playing Watford.

This. Looking at a -4 bringing in Haz+Mitro if no returns from the Arsenal man today. Might still do if he scores.

(Auba owner since GW 1)

Give Mkhi assist to avoid price drop and its ok

sounds good, deal

I think he is

He looked great and City played better with him on the pitch. Still debating if he’s worth keeping though.

I would keep for the time being as he is a class player

Yeh afraid we’re in the dark for now, obv sort a long term injury first but we can only guess about Wally and Zaha

I'm giving him another week with an eye on Mkhi and Ramsey but want to scout all 3 players further before deciding.

I’d worry about Walcott and Zaha first. I think Bilva starts too but I worry he’s a player who “passes the eye test” but doesn’t do as much in FPL terms. I ditched him for Dilva this week (which didn’t work either)

Keeping for Fulham. Long term he has to go but I’d rather wait until a straight swap with Richarlison is an option.

he’s at 7.1 so don’t mind any drop in price and if he’s fit I think he’s great value so holding unless any long term fears

I have managed to miss all his points by benching except GW1 (I had/have a strong team) so feel I jinxed him by not getting rid of Richarlison and getting in Pedo so I had the easy choice of starting him. I’m worried about this injury but I guess we wait. Hodgson didn’t sound optimistic and he’s a doubt for the next game despite the IB. But Hodgson is dour at the best of times.

same boat thinking a punt on haz with the back up of a WC could be good. ideally use WC to get both salah and kane back in

I think of you have the WC to get Salah back it makes sense. He’s not going to go up in value.

Thanks for your replies. This is definitely what I’m favouring at the moment. Experience has taught me to wait before making transfers in the international break though, as something always crops up.

The usual “have to get Salah out because he blanked” for Hazard... even though Hazard was 5 mins from blanking.

But it’s true that Haz undoubtedly has better fixtures right now so the consensus seems to be bring in Haz for Salah. Then scramble without a WC to get Salah back.

There won't be one

Hazard has matched Salah in less minutes for 2.5m less and has much better fixtures

But people are attached to Salah because he did well last season

Oversimplified: Hazard on fire + £2.4m vs. Salah under performing

I have both and am happy to

Can’t see there ever being s consensus on here, some are just too scared of last years score.

Me too. I didn’t think Fulham overpaid given the job he’d done for you but I didn’t think he’d be a success in the PL after failing so badly before.

Glad for Fulham though... love that club, it’s about a 5-10 min walk from my house, great ground and fans, good to have you back in the PL!

I'm considering this too. It's basically the decision that will decide if I should WC or not.

That's fair.

If you don’t regularly see yourself captaining such a high priced player then it’s true you shouldn’t have him.

I would point out that your lot look shaky at the back and you haven’t played anybody decent (Arsenal aren’t decent) and Liverpool scored quite a few past City in two competitions last season and looked like they would at City in the PL before that Mane sending off changed the game.

Same facts, differen result. I want to captain him against Southampton, and therefore ditch him after that for 2 weeks, at least.

Obviously the first option. 2 talismans vs a talisman and a rotation player.

Just wait til after Watford game. I have a feeling Kane will do pretty well. Having him on the door now, is gold.

Hazard & Mitro easily

There’s also a significant price difference to consider there. Hard to make those calls without saying what you’d ultimately do with the rest of the cash.

I'd do Firmino, Daniels => Alonso, 7m ish striker

Tricky one. A lot depends on the extent of Walcott injury. You could definitely manage with a transfer or two but if you're set on getting Alonso in and Firm out, it's probably WC time (if Theo is out)

Daniels will have to go.

There’s no such thing as essential. It was known from pre season that Daniels wouldn’t be starting from GW4 after the new guys suspension was served. Bournemouth aren’t Man City who can buy players just to bench them.

Looks good man

Hi I’m trying to do something and have come up with this what do u think

Begovic
Alonso Mendy robbo wanbis
Hazard mane Fraser
Kane aguero mitro

Bench hamer billing bennet 4.5

So no salah took Mané instead. What do u tho k why did u choose salah over Mané given form and price?

W do not

Tomkins vs. Wan. Could change. Wan was pretty bad this week.
Zaha – Groin strain. Slight doubt.
Walcott – Rib injury. Major doubt.

Somebody somewhere is always claiming a well owned player might not play, it’s trolling and speculation.

No news on Zaha but Hodgson was quoted saying he’s a doubt for the next game after the IB.

Mane/Haz (I did it before this GW so not a knee jerk opinion)

Salah, Hazard

Haz definitely for fixtures. Mane seems to have the form but not the underlying stats vs Salah. If you are still going to have a WC to get Salah back of you need to, I’d go Mane and Haz.

Well done on calling Zaha yesterday, Vin.

Yeah, great call on Zaha (although was too late for me to do anything). Delivered in a good way.

As an Arsenal fan I think it’s tough for Emery. He’s hobbled by years of decay under Wenger, players who have never developed like Bellerín, lazy players now on big contracts such as Ozil, inconsistent purchases such as Lacazette and Auba when both would like the centre spot and no money to buy anybody. The club were talking 50 mill budget pre season. Maybe that’s a low ball amount so that they didn’t get quoted high prices like when Sir Chips came out and said we had a “huge war chest” but I think it’s true if one goes by Kroenke’s US teams. 50 million just about gets you an international defender now and not the wages. He’s in a tough spot because the squad is disjointed and not good enough.

I think Haz outscores him even though I’m not a fan. So long as you can get Salah back in (on a WC presumably)
