How Man City assets changed towards the end of 2018/19

2

3 imo

You can comfortably get in three if you use Auba + Kane, then one of Salah or Sterling.

2

2 until the cheap overperformers emerge and budgets increase. Make them midfielders too, I don't see any forwards justifying an 11m price tag this year

No playing subs and Zinchenko not nailed, risky.

No taa no party

Digne for fixtures, assists and set pieces. They will probably get similar amount of clean sheets.

I switched to Azpi for a while, but reports suggest Lampard is playing an attacking game and leaving a few gaps at the back, so back on Digne for now

Digne

rely on Ryan is bold

Good for a fling, not great for the full season

My wife's team is 523 and everyone says it looks better than my 352.

This is how you know you're overthinking

Consistently the worst performing formation for the last three years

Works well for guaranteed early returns as cheap attacking players who will perform hard to predict versus strong defence but generally not for the long hall

No I always get most % of points every season from front 7 and more so from 4 or 5 mids

good shot but i am going Trossard

Avoiding Brighton's attack personally

1) they're not great at scoring
2) a lot of rotation risks

Are you planning on rotating Taylor/Diop? (I know BUR/WHU rotate well early on)

Thinking of a similar plan, but really like Liv x 2, Man C, Eve (template) defence.

look above

I think most people DO see United leaking goals, and of the wing-back options, many see AWB collecting more baps. Not sure I agree myself but I don't have quite enough faith to have a United defender from the off.

What people fail to grasp is signing AWB and Slabhead won't instantly stop Utd from conceding. Their midfield is still a mess and gets bypassed far to easily. Also, Luke Shaw would be the last of the back 4 to get.

I think United will get tighter at the back but I wouldn’t pick Shaw out of their back four, I think a United defender is a reasonable shout at 5.5

Salah + Montoya

Who are your captain options?

B I think, though I'd find money elsewhere to go more expensive with the defender

Probable for the first two matches.

Hoping that will be the case. He is my punt

Probably not

Long term yes
But I dont think he will be good to start with

I assume he will be eased into the team

New to the league. Young player. Cant see him getting full 90 mins every game at the start of the season

Like the look of him at 7m, but not sure if he starts GW1 (no pre-season with the team). Would expect DCL to start first game(s)

A

Triple MCI defense isn't the worst idea. Digne ~> Walker.

I am avoiding Barkley and King.

Luke Shaw , Leandro Trossard

B seems like a disaster waiting to happen

10pts for use of vacillating

A all day

Digne over Coleman should get you more points

VVD to Robbo. Coleman finished last season in better form then Digne.

Albrighton is not a sure starter

But no that is crazy Perez is a striker in an attacking team as a 6.5 mid

Or anyone considering c. Taylor/Norwood rotation?

I'm on Cartcart/Diop, but if Dunk goes to Lei I'm going to switch to Dunk and a Brighton defender

Guilbert, Montoya?

Ake to 4.5, Dendo to 5 and rotate? Could be better

Not much in it. I feel similarly to you, B is probably better as Jota can be swapped easily if he doesn’t do it

Prefer B by so much

A

A for me

Nice.

Don't fancy fraser and wilson double up to start?

Just put together this exact team...(different bench), other than Coleman instead of Digne.

Still not sure if i'll go for it come gw1

If going with just the one Liverpool defender I'd select Robertson. Rest looks fairly sweet to be fair. Solid team.

😀

Matching Sigurdsson isn't necessarily a good thing!

Not sure how much you will save! Output should be similar though if he plays as he can.

Does he take Chelsea pens??

Just want to see some consistency from him before committing. Yes he's a risk at the moment if his form dips.

As you mentioned - good player in open play who is a goal threat and has assist potential. Bonus of pens, corners and FKs (in pre-season at least)

But, a rotation risk - you can't help but feel that a few bad games and he could be benched

If you need the spare .5m I would take the risk and go for him over Perez... could pay off greatly

IMO, he is a risk.

I've tinkered with a 4-5-1. I think it effectively distributes funds across the team the best, however its biggest flaw is the lone forward without a backup. An injury to Wilson will cause a headache that could have been prevented. That's why I'm going for a 4-4-2.
