    City fans - how nailed is Lewis? Is Walker likely to take back his place soon?

      Not a City fan, but went with Lewis on my WC. Walker will hopefully be the CL RB with Lewis getting most of the PL starts. He's been great so far.

        What UCL fixtures require Walkers skillsets over Lewis?

        “He’s different type of player. What Rico gives to the team Kyle cannot give us, and what Kyle give to us, Rico cannot do it. That is what it’s about. It’s not a big squad but everyone pushes each other to earn a position, that is the only way.” – Pep Guardiola on Rico Lewis

          They are played differently as in Lewis is an inverted right back and Walker is a line hugging ball crosser

              We don't know the answer. But Kyle is getting older, he is 34 now. Rico could technically be his son, 15 years age difference without checking birthdates. Pep doesn't want to start next season without giving enough minutes for Rico before that.

          Kyle Walker is fast and good defender. I can't see Pep starting Rico vs Ars and Liv if Walker is fit. But I am just fpl manager 😉

      I'm enjoying having him at 4.5m for last few weeks. Not sure if city have anyone else who can play that role but can't Imagine seeing Walker compete with his young legs and energy walker was pretty poor last few games for city and it was clear he was poor for England in euros.Lewis is the future but maybe not quite nailed every game yet

        But even at 4.6 he doesn't have to be. He is better attacking asset than Gvardiol who is 6 million atm. The main issue is short cameo risk imo. If and when Walker starts, there is risk that Lewis gets only some minutes and 1pt.

          Haalands seven goals with Lewis in the team is baring some thoughts from Pep surely City just look more creative right now with Lewis playing

          Curiously, if Walker plays the Gvard becomes a better attacking asset as it likely him to get the further forward tuck in role, just from the opposite flank.

          As a City fan with season ticket, Lewis has been great though. The amount he's been in the box so far is ridiculous. Worth the punt I reckon, but I would expect Walk to take some games from him, this is Pep after all.

            Gvardiol's lack of marauding is not so much due to Rico as due to Pep using 2 proper wingers in Doku/Grealish and Savinho. Overall, the system works much better with 2 wingers and Rico inverting. I don't see Walker returning as a nailed fullback.

            Got Rico for Quansah early on before price rise/drop.

              I'm not sure, Pep played with 2 wingers often last season too. I just don't think you have more than one full back doing it without leaving gaps.

              I think and hope you're right about Lewis nailing the spot, but he's young and it would be very Pep to take him our for a couple of games at some point even if still performing. With Walker waiting, there's decent risk, but at his price and the potential upside, it's worth it I reckon.

      Set-piece DMs can really test your patience though. Their returns are unpredictable. If you're not patient enough with Rogers, I'm not sure you'll be patient with a DM

      It could just be that Villa's set pieces are much better than Everton's, so we'll have another Soucek situation

    Good start to the season but seriously contemplating a WC tonight. Looking at the three optimum points to play it; the fixture swings are strongest for the best teams now (not GW 7 or 11). I don’t have Salah, Trent, Watkins or Palmer and I think they’ll do well over the next few GWs. Thoughts?

      Holding on till 6 allows a calculated swerving of Arsenal defence for the next 2 then load up on them.

      Also can wait and see who the optimal enablers are. I’ve got Rogers and ESR but gut feel is that others will emerge

    WC played in GW3. I took a few risks, with Kosta (4.0) being the only casualty so far. I can park him at third sub until a 4.0 emerges, or move early for someone like Greaves, also at third sub. Considering playing Greaves vs Southampton in GW5. I could spend that FT on Fabianski instead, if Areola is out for a while. Here's how GW4 looks atm, unless something drastic happens before then:

    Raya
    Trent Lewis Robinson
    (V)Palmer Jota Eze Rogers
    (C)Haaland Havertz Welbeck
    .
    Lumley Porro Winks Kosta

    1.9 ITB for Welbeck to Solanke

    Winks keeps taking some corners, btw. Looks like the best 4.5 attacker

          That’s fair and good logic. I toyed with an early WC similar to yours but the worry is that Salah alone could dismantle it with the two juicy home fixtures after the IB

            I trust having Trent and Jota with C Haaland being enough vs Salah l. However, selling Haaland and Saka to Watkins and Salah was on the cards. Not sure it's worth 8 pts or WC anymore.

            Thanks 🙂

            Yeah, Salah could definitely do damage in his next 4. But Newcastle isn't a tough defence anymore (GW2 was atrocious), so my only real time to not cap Haaland is GW5. I'll cap Palmer there, so it's a case of keeping up with the Salah teams with the rest of my squad. I hope it pays off

            To be clear, I'd have squeezed Haaland and Salah in somehow, if Palmer and Jota didn't prove so obvious (on current data)

      Can't really argue with the attacking changes there, unless Newcastle attack looks excellent vs Spurs today

      Konate is a bit iffy with UCL starting. He'll be protected or be prone to a random injury if he isn't. I get the appeal, but would rather go with Robinson/Dunk or risk Lewis for more upside when starting

      I have both. I expect them to outscore Salah, but Salah has better fixtures now.

    Dear fellow FPL addicts, what would be the best transfers to make for this team?

    Pope (Turner)
    Gvardiol TAA VdV (Faes Barco)
    Son Jota Gibbs-White ESR (Winks)
    Haaland Isak Solanke

    0.4 ITB

    A) Isak -> Welbeck/Pedro
    B) A + (Son -> Salah) for -4
    C) A + (Gibbs-White -> Mbeumo) for -4
    D) Gvardiol/Barco -> Lewis
    E) Hold

      Should I stay patient with Pickford or rip the band aid off and just get Raya set n forget?

      No ARS defence in my squad…

      I know ARS have a couple of difficult fixtures defensively but don’t want him to rise after take a drop for Pickford…

        Honestly so far he doesn’t seem like very good value this year. Early days of course

      Are non Haaland owners happy with the size of their sofa to hide behind or need a bigger one?

    Despite the goal ruled out, Gravenbach has really solved that Liverpool #6 issue.
