    Plan is to sell Fraser to Martial for gw13. If Maddison does nothing against Burnley I may sell him instead though. Is doubling up on Fraser and Wilson with their upcoming fixtures silly?

      How do you have the guts to worry about Martial when you going Alonso less for their amazing 3 in next 4?!

        3. Numb
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Best to put a link to where you read it, or a link to a photo of it if in a paper

          1. Totti
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            it was a picture in twitter
            not sure about it
            so i'm asking anyone read so?

            1. Numb
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 5 months ago

              They do say a picture paints a thousand words I guess

    4. Numb

    5. HNI
      • 11 Years

      And I read diaz will start over aguero after his goals in league cup. Get the link/tweet before sharing random stuff

      1. Chenku╰☆╮
        • 9 Years

        This would work fine.

    6. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I think it was based on this tweet?
      https://twitter.com/ManCity/status/1059076963116163072

      1. Numb
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        1. That doesn’t mean Zinchenko is starting
        2. Even if he does, it doesn’t mean Mendy isn’t.

        1. Totti
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          yea i know
          but i'm asking is this true or not
          i'm not saying that confirmed mendy will be out

          1. Numb
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            You said you read that Mendy wasn’t starting.

  3. Chenku╰☆╮
    • 9 Years

    Any rumours yet about man city and Chelsea lineups?

    1. Holmes

      1. HNI
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Its cuz Mendy is not exactly a goodlooking lad compared to zinchenko atleast lol

        1. Chenku╰☆╮
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Sorry why not? Mendy looks absolutely fine mate.. get a life.

    Anyone know what’s up with Maguire? Frustrating for me as have him and Vardy in my team. Maguire went off after 20 mins, Vardy was denied a goal/penalty by a handball on the line which the ref missed!

    Not sure whether to take Maguire out now or not.

    Cheers all

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Maguire picked up a injury, tried to play on and made it worse so had to come off. Check latest injury update on fpl frontpage for his status first.

  5. Over LAN and C:\

    Who do you think wins this face off?:

    Rival - Mendy, Schürrle + 5pts
    Me - Sterling and Hazard

    4. HNI

      Rival if Haz is benched

    5. i am jose mourinho
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      You because mendy will start from the bench

  6. Surfeit of Lampteys
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    All this uproar over Gray getting booked for taking his shirt off, honestly. Credit to the referee for treating this as an offence like all the other players over the years who have paid respect to the deceased with a shirt under their shirt and got booked.

    1. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Ref has to. Open and shut case.

      Yellows add up to bans. Bans add up to lost/gained points. Points add up to relegations/titles

      Lineker was a dick for even suggesting he might have let him off

      1. Surfeit of Lampteys
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Agreed. Outrageous suggestion.

      2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Lineker thinks with his emotions

        1. Surfeit of Lampteys
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          He also copped out completely by not saying his surname. I get it's difficult to pronounce but look it up, show some respect, don't call him 'the Leicester chairman'.

    2. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Puel said they approached the game like professionals, and was only fair the referee was the same.

      1. Surfeit of Lampteys
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Even that from puel- of course the referee has to approach the game professionally. It goes without saying. What did people want? A suspension of fouls? No offsides? Just give Leicester the three points?

    For anyone wondering about the Man City Zinchenko Twitter pic, it ie worth noting that the time display in the background is:

    2 : ?? : 03

    Unlikely he picture was taken today, but of course they could have just used an older image to hype up a lineup.

    Also pictures is a very empty Etihad. That could be any week, though.

    Christ, a main rival has triple captained Aguero and in another league someone has captained Alonso.

    It'll be one of those afternoons where you don't know how to feel when they score (I own both, captained the former).
