  13. fijuhmon
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 11 days ago

    Raya (Kepa)
    Trippier, Schär, Shaw (Henry, Estu)
    Bruno, March, Mitoma, Øde (Rash)
    Kane, Haaland, Watkins

    1ft which I need to use as fh next week. A dull keeper transfer Kepa -> Ederson perhaps?

  14. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 11 days ago

    Reported Shaw was not seen in training yesterday. Players that started the Sevilla game had a light session. Players that didn't get any mins/ mins from the bench participated in training.

      ETH stated Shaw could be in the squad on Sunday but depends on the next 2 training session before the game

    Anything worth a -4 here? 2.2 ITB

    Steele Shaw Madders Botman

    1. Magic Zico

    Azpi
    Trippier, Mee, Gabriel
    Saka, Mads, March, MacA
    Haaland, Kane, Watkins
    Raya, Rashy, Estu, Shaw

    What changes would you make? Leaning on Maddison to Mahrez or Graelish?
    Bench correct?
    Thanks

    1. artvandelay316
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 days ago

      Grealish

      1. tryf88
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 11 days ago

        Will he play 90 mins after the CL game?

    2. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 days ago

      Azpi in goal?! Only 1 fit (outfield) sub so bench order likely irrelevant

      1. tryf88
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 11 days ago

        Thanks

  17. artvandelay316

    1. AgentRed
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 11 days ago

      Yes. I think even if he starts he’ll come off early so that put me off.

      1. Gizzachance
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 11 days ago

        Same, why im benching rash, playing March

    2. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 11 days ago

      Wouldn’t surprise people,

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 days ago

    4. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 11 days ago

      Always a chance. Always with any City player. You pays your money and you takes your chance.

  29. Gizzachance

    • 10 Years
    3 years, 11 days ago

    "Yeah, [we could have players back]. But we have to see. We have two sessions to go, so I don't know now but it can be Scott and Luke will return to the squad. But not sure."

    EtH

    Sounds pretty unsure to me.

    1. AgentRed
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 11 days ago

      I don’t think Shaw will start, sub at best would be my guess

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 11 days ago

        I think so too.
