So basically a 6 point swing for me with slot vs glasner (as glasner would've been a hit) hopefully make it up on the field
Thinking of a punt on Bowen
But damn! Pool could've easily scored a couple more

1FT, 1.1m in the bank. Would you roll or get a defender in?

Alisson
Trent, Colwill, Konsa
Salah, Palmer, Mbeumo, Semenyo
Isak, Cunha, Wissa

Fabianski, Rogers, Davis, Mykolenko

    So even if you think kluivert will score more, your going to go for Bowen just because of your rival?
    
    Just pick who gets you the most points

  I tempted to bring in for GW29 and keep for DGW33 if City progress in cup, and captain those 2 GWs and GW30.

Ndiaye > Wood or Cunha.

Wood seems dull but almost never blanks it seems and not owning him has hurt my rank recently.

      I agree I wouldn't sell Wood, but I reckon they will captain Cunha instead, so captaincy maybe taken out of the equation. Will still be damaging if he's other people's captains against you and you don't even own him though!

Would you sell Gakpo or Isak this gw for Cunha?
Isak with Liverpool & West Ham away and Gakpo with Newcastle and Southampton at home, but will Gakpo get the start against Southampton?

Is there an AM route that felt sensible but didn't work out? I know Arteta is one. But I'm curious if there was something that didn't work out across 3 gameweeks
