      sure he may blank but why take that chance - he has a higher ceiling than Lamptey

      I couldnt bench a 7+ defender.... you'd regret that call more than bench Lamptey if the benched one did better (if that makes sense)

        The right option is to:
        Hold Jimi
        Move Jimi to Werner
        Move Jimi to Wilson, funds then shift to Kdb for gw10

            Seen this a couple of times from you Flynny. I have Foden and the same bench. I really like Bowen too but at the moment I'm leaning towards keeping and reassessing over the IB. I drew up some pros and cons re Foden the other day to help inform my decision, concluded he could be great value over the coming weeks.

            Pros

            - Price, 6.6 City mid who has been returning when he plays.
            - Plays for a team who are likely to score plenty of goals over the coming weeks, when he's on the pitch, good chance he'll be involved.
            - 9 SIB this season which going into GW7 was more than any other team-mate.
            - Has potential to score off the bench if required as we've already seen this season.

            Cons

            - Reported as being 'under the weather' of late but rotation will always be a factor regardless, how often is yet to be seen.
            - Holding onto Foden blocks other City assets who are arguably more nailed at the moment.
            - There are other players in and around his price bracket who are catching the eye and offer more assured game time.

              I'm just concerned that he will be benched this week

              In hindsight should never have got on wildcard.

              V tempted with the hit.

            Fornals is looking betetr statistically but I like Bowen as a player so I'd probably go for him personally

            Would you save here or get Chilwell in for Saiss and play him over Justin or Ayling?

              You have 3 starting defenders this week so i would hold and see what happens to Saiss this weekend. I dont think its a foregone conclusion that he will see more bench time.

            Are people who are after Timo not a little worried that whenever Tammy is on the pitch with him (which could be for the foreseeable games) Tammy is the one who is occupying the space between the width of the posts and Timo is the one running the channels? That would certainly concern me as when he was successful in Germany he was almost always the lone striker with supporting midfielders.

              Not really too worried. He will probably play left flank against Sheffield United this weekend who are conceding a lot of chances down their right hand side.

            Need a Mane replacement. Son or Rashford for next 2 then flip to KDB in GW10? Or go for KDB now and save a transfer later? Rashford seems best but so hard to trust United.
