After rounding up Thursday’s press conferences in our first team news summary of the week, we finish the job with a recap of the virtual media gatherings that were held on Friday.
For more detailed information, keep tabs on our predicted line-ups, which will be updated throughout the afternoon.
Our video round-up with Andy and Neale is also available to view below:
How's this? (-4)
Pope
Cancelo / Shaw / Dallas
Raphinha / Bruno / Salah / Gundogan
Bamford(c) / Antonio / DCL
Subs: Martinez / Stones / Saka / Bednarek
No Son or Kane, no dice
Oh are they in good form? Hadn't noticed that.
I would want one of them at all times, regardless of fixtures. Their point totals say it all.
Anything announced?
You know what they say, no news is good news.
Stop posting about new fixture for Arsenal women
Think I'm going to hold WC and and save BB for later
But when? When to BB?
Just don't know, chaotic to plan in the current situation
Doing the same
Same. Maybe wildcard next week once we know the fixtures. Or BB if I have enough doubles
Best from these ?
1. Shaw for 25 and 26
2. Dallas for 25 and Tarko for 26
Ben Crellin
OR
Paul the Octopus
ok
Is Paul any good at spreadsheets?
Play two:
A) DCL
B) Gundo
C) Cresswell
D) Soucek
E) Stones
Gundo and DCL
AB
Chances of playing for the following..
Cancelo
Gundo
Cavani
Antonio
%10
%70
%30
%70
WC team GTG?
Martinez
Stones • White • Struijk
Salah • Bruno • Son • Raphinha(C)
Kane • Ings • Bamford
(Fabri / Gundogan / Cancelo / El Mohamedy)
Next week Bamford to Watkins and use TC. Will leave me with a full 11 of DGWers in 26 and 8 already for BGW29. My 3 FT between then can be used to field 11.
Benching Cancelo & playing Stones...
Any reason why?
Presumably worried about a Cancelo cameo
Start Cancelo or Stones or both?
Stones
I’m starting Stones because he’s pretty much guaranteed to start. Cancelo is unlikely to start and I don’t want a 1 pointer
Start both and let Pep decide for you
y'all help me do I bench gundogan or dcl??
I would not bench gundo
What do we know about the next possible dgw?
I understand MCI should have a dgw26 with WHU and WOL.
I understand TOT have a high chance of playing in gw29.
Any other possibilities?
Follow Crelin on twitter
For GW26 only: (On WC)
A Son, Watkins, Stones, Raphinha
B Barnes, Ings, Shaw, Foden
(Have Kane already)
B
Gundo > JWP?
No
Joke?
Bench 1
A)Dias(have ederson)
B)Watkins
C)barnes
D)TAA
I wouldnt get any Leeds/Southampton defenders, think they concede in both games
shhhh!
Good job that Dallas is a midfielder
Uh huh, uh huh
(Jump, jump)
Whats wrong with pages?
It's the Twitter posts in the article
Everythings a first. Flipped a coin between Bam or Rap. Raphinha (C) it is.
Same here. Feeling confident!
Was tempted by this too, but thinking about it Bamford's got to have a much higher possible ceiling
Martinez McCarthy
Stones Cancelo Dallas Mee Shaw
Salah Son Bruno Gundo Soucek
Ings Bam Antonio
Worth wildcarding this team? Or just do -4 to get Raphina in?
Play 1:
A. Dias
B. Watkins
Who’s the best cheap DFers if on WC?
Currently have Targett & Rudiger but I’m not sure about either as have Martinez already and Rudiger has tough fixtures until GW30
Lowton, White, Dunk, Shaw
I’ve gone elmohamedy over Targett. Should start for a few weeks then can swap out
Just read that Thiago Silva is out too. Rudiger not a good option imo
El Mohamady, Brighton defs.
Pls help
Pick one to start?
Stones or Mee?
Im playing both. Cant you bench someone else?
Pope (Walton)
Cancelo Shaw Stones (Alioski**, Douglas**)
Grealish Salah Fernandes Son Gundogan
Bamford Antonio (DCL)
1.2 ITB, 1FT
Good to go?
How many here hitting the Wildcard button?
Not Mee
I have no reason to now
Already on it. Trust BC
Already smashed it.
No announcement doesn’t mean no DGW’s! I’m BBing in 26 so it’s now or never
Already in place.
Start DCL or Watkin?
I think DCL could do some damage against LIV
Thinking of doing something most would regard as reckless and desperate. Before making my decision, I would like to ask a simple question: how many points do you believe Raphinia will score in his upcoming DGW. Thank you
RMT has 7.6
Seems low, but reasonable
10
Probably close to the consensus
It would be polite of me to kick it off...so, I’m guessing 14.
Play Cancelo OR Mee?...
Why is Cancelo not likely to start?
Pep comments about rotating the squad over the next two fixtures:
Guardiola on leaving John Stones out to partner Aymeric Laporte with Ruben Dias:
"If you see the schedule we had in November, December, January, we’re in the FA Cup, Carabao Cup, Champions League to the end. And you see the schedule we have at the end of February and especially all March, when Premier League included two more games in that period against Wolves and Southampton we don’t have one week off so everybody is going to play. Today is the decision and against Arsenal we’re going to play new ones."
He’s due a rest as played a lot of Mins and others haven’t
Pick 1 from what you can expect from Antonio:
A. Starts
B. Does not feature
C. Cameo
grealish + dcl -> kane + raph and (-4) worth it yeah?
No
