Why transfer Mitro? Rest looks good, but might also be worth waiting until after EFL cup matches.

MCI with two potential DGWs out of the next four GWs, I'd keep Stones

Cucurella looks useless

Probably none

Stones, if you don't need the funds elsewhere

Akanji has had one rest since his first start for City, and Pep subbed him on at halftime as an emergency fix to what he described post-match as a mistake

Rico Lewis has gotten lots of praise, but Pep keeps saying Walker's only issue is fitness, so I consider him the most risky. Highest ceiling of the three by some distance, though

Ake is currently Pep's left back. As sure as I am that Cancelo is a priority sale in FPL, I can't guarantee Ake keeps starting over Cancelo

Ederson or none

GK

It would be totally awesome.

Ederson Ward
Trippier Shaw Botman White Bueno
KDB Rashford Martinelli Almiron Andreas
Haaland Kane Mitrovic

2m ITB

Kepa, Sanchez
Trippier, Botman, Gabriel, Lewis, TAA
Martinelli, Rashford, Odegaard, Mitoma, Mahrez
Haaland, Kane, Mitrovic

2.1 itb for me.

Not convinced on Mahrez & TAA
Could be Salah + 4.1def.

Kepa Ederson

Trippier Schar Gabriel Shaw 4.0

Rashy Marty Odegrd Mahrez Mitoma/Rodrigo/Almiron

Haaland Kane Darwin

Any worthy option than Haaland if he's double?

Son, but only if wearing mask.

Last reply on last page: Ward to Sánchez/Raya (prefer Sánchez for rotation with DGWs) and roll

Cucu/Darwin -> Shaw/Mitro

Apparently it's visible only on the mobile site

My second chance is worse than my first chance. My first chance was pretty awful. Good luck but don’t expect a pot of gold

Schar bootman or gabriel

VVD and Cancelo, that's almost a much dead money as me

I have Reece, Cancelo, Kulu, and Martial

I need to change my team name to Red Arrow Zombies

Schar

50/50

Pep openly called it a mistake and publicly apologized to Cancelo and Rodri for where he had them start the match

An apology is rare from Pep. It's the kind of hard lesson that he somehow still didn't learn from those UCL exits, but at least we're unlikely to see that gamble again soon

I think those who have either got rid already of are in the process of getting rid are ahead of the curve personally. You can get starters for good defensive teams with decent attacking threat for almost 3m less currently.

Botman feels like a safe albeit slightly boring pick. Likely to get 7 odd points every other week but no hauls. Very good first bench option at 4.4. For a starter I'd probably want someone a bit more explosive with higher attacking threat.

Ronaldo

Bruno is the PK guy for MU - Ronny snaked the job from Bruno, but seems Bruno gets the duty since he did a good job before.

Rash is actually a head-case when it comes to PKs, he got the big PK vs PSG but he was missing quite a few before Bruno came to town.

I think bruno let him take it to matvh rooney's record.

Prunes in their own syrupy juice and fresh pears … it will chase anything nasty out your guts and straight into the sewers.

just wait

the double isnt even confirmed plus so much news to come in worth waiting

wait

no need to rush, waiting will be fine

Not at all, I'm planning to get him for Mitro.

Tide may turn, get in early and reap the reward

Big risk, I’ve had him in since the World Cup and just got rid. I’d wait and see on him

Might do those two moves for free. Like em.

AWB not a risk?

Do you think Dalot is better than Shaw as a United defensive asset?

Sanchez and arena have good fixtures, Ward to one of those and rotate.

Can cello to Schar a yes for me. Got rid of Cancello last week. He’ll haul at some point, but better options around at the moment.

mahrez is more worthy of a punt than most city assets

tell ur friend to go for it 😉

What’s NC?

I agree with you on both counts. Loved the 10 and 11 minutes routinely added on at the WC.

Also, current VAR and “millimeter offside speculation” is sucking the spontaneous emotions out of goal scoring celebrations, especially for fans of the game. The lines they draw are sometimes fatter than the margins themselves:) Wish they’d simplify the offsides rule to feet only or something like that to keep it quicker/easier to define and referee.

While i agree in some parts the offside part is not part of clear and obvious interventions by Var. And while it was to rigid in the first years they made a little bit adjustment to it it really is a good help, bit yes you take away the insyant joy but you also takes away goals which would feel wrongly for the opposition fans.
I didnt watch world cup (not interested) but i noticed the amount of extra time given. That should be something they must begin with on a broader scale.

I agree about the additional time, but I never expected that to change now because we're mid-season and that would be a significant alteration to make that could have made a difference to a lot of results if utilised before the WC, so a lot would cry foul if that was suddenly introduced now (which I think is fair), two wrongs don't make a right of course but in this scenario I do think it's the fairest way given teams have suffered/benefitted from it already in the current campaign.

As for VAR and offsides, yeah. The technology is good and fine it's just the poor implementation of it in the PL really. No benefit is given to the forward on marginal decisions which is what used to be the way and I felt that was fair, poring over the tiniest body area for more than 20-30 seconds is just far too much. VAR in general was utilised better at the WC and I think that comes down to better refereeing standards and practices. Thinking back to Tunisia v France, France scored late into additional time to draw level and play went on for another 2-3 minutes or so immediately, while VAR in the background analysed the goal to see if there was an offside in it. Nobody else knew until the referee stopped to make a decision based off of VAR's recommendations (eventually disallowing) so it wasn't an enormous wait that took the life out of the remainder of the game. Little sensible decisions to utilise the technology while allowing the game to flow are key to making it work.

"Don't even get me started on the 1 inch dis-allowed offsides!. Truly sickening! Only condoned by football haters! (how is a 5 minute wait, while they draw lines and get out their ruler, clear and obvious!). Whilst also destroying life defining moments with family and friends (Imagine if Agueroooooo! was disallowed by VAR!)"

AKA

"because an outcome is fun, lets ignore the rules".

If Aguero's shot went in off someones hand should that have also been ignored as it would have ruined the moment?

The rules are the rules, if you don't think a player being further forward than the defending player should be offside then think up another version of the rule. Blaming the use of using technology to enforce rules is odd.

Nvm no one hulked Raga's post

Two posts up! Nobody went up in price and Dennis and Tavenier fell

Rash kinda seems a must right now to be honest.. I would be tempted to get rid of Foden even this week for him especially if Utd get a double

You can check the fixtures on the game to confirm that

Yes. That double isn't based on pending Cup results. It's locked in, unless some form of emergency occurs

Brighton vs Liverpool looks to be a basketball game. The score could easily be anything (realistic) we can imagine. 4-3, 3-0, 2-2, 1-4

One more match for Darwin, then Kane vs Fulham is a must if you can get there

Hahaha just beat me to it. I have just asked the same question. I usually leave it until 2 weeks before a big double game week and then use TC or BB for the double but I have a few transfers I would like to do now so I am tempted to pull the trigger next week…..
