    a) Caicedo + Welbeck

    or

    b) Minteh + Thiago

    1. JBG
      11 months, 25 days ago

      A

    2. F4L
      11 months, 25 days ago

    Remember when Pep had City winning the treble and he was all about big at the back and playing CB’s like Akanji, Ake at fullback with Dias and others in the middle. Do you think Pep gets bored of certain strategies and just wants to evolve the team into something else? They were so solid defensively that season and since then they look like they can concede at any time.

      Rodri

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        11 months, 25 days ago

        Fair point 😆

        It was peak Rodri wasn’t it.

    2. mookie
      11 months, 25 days ago

      Haaland can't press. Aguero and Sterling could.

  5. fedolefan
    11 months, 25 days ago

    First Pope, now Donnarumma. All these keepers reminding me of Prime Fraser Foster with their movement.

  6. Three Pints of Schlager

    Foden's corners are a joke.

    Easy to defend.

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 months, 25 days ago

      Constantly looking for the ball so he can pass it sideways. Done - out for Enzo

    1. Three Pints of Schlager
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 months, 25 days ago

      Not as bad as 80% of all players in that West Ham game. But I know what you mean.

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 months, 25 days ago

    1. Three Pints of Schlager
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 months, 25 days ago

      It's Petrovic, no need to raise the bar

  14. F4L
    11 months, 25 days ago

  15. Drop Dead Tsimikas

  16. Kalou
    11 months, 25 days ago

    1. XX SMICER XX
      11 months, 25 days ago

  22. tim
    11 months, 25 days ago

    1. THE Wild Rover
      11 months, 25 days ago

    2. F4L

        11 months, 25 days ago

  23. Mr. O'Connell
    11 months, 25 days ago

    Haaland you season-saver, you. Never in doubt.

    1. Brosstan
      11 months, 25 days ago

      His points are irrelevant even as captain unless you are about 5m rank

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        11 months, 25 days ago

        Could be a season ended if not owned/captained though so still saving

        1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
          11 months, 25 days ago

          *ender

        2. Mr. O'Connell
          11 months, 25 days ago

          Exactly. Nice to have some positivity on here for once.

  24. THE Wild Rover
    11 months, 25 days ago

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 months, 25 days ago

  26. fedolefan
    11 months, 25 days ago

    Damn, Rudolph could get something here. Bournemouth chasing the game.

  27. Three Pints of Schlager
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 months, 25 days ago

    Nice run by Semenyo.

    Looked like a touchdown but wasn't.

  28. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    11 months, 25 days ago

    Reijnders on for his brace

  29. Brosstan
    11 months, 25 days ago

    Damn... another huge red arrow even with 67 points.. only Mukiele can save my season

    1. Bobby Digital
      11 months, 25 days ago

      Hoping for a Alderete header goal myself

  30. joinho
    11 months, 25 days ago

    Was really hoping Reijnders would stay on the bench, with Caicedo first on my bench
