Pep: I don’t have to alter my team selection because of Ramadan, those affected will prepare well.

  Pep Guardiola on the impact of Ramadan on Man City's Muslim players: "They follow these religious traditions and of course we have good nutritionists and they adapt to what the team needs... I think they're used to it, they're not young, they're used to many, many years playing in this period..."
  
  Pep Guardiola on whether fasting times during Ramadan will be considered for Man City's Starting XI vs Leeds: "No. They are well taken care [of], and they know how you handle these situations..."

Current team:
Dubravka
Gabriel - Senesi - Guehi - Maguire
Cunha - Semenyo - Bruno - Rogers - Rice
Haaland
(Sels - JP - Timber - Guiu) – bench dilemma tbh

With 4 FT would you consider going
Sels, Cunha, Guiu -> Petrovic, Wilson, Raul
and use BB?

Thanks!

Are folks trying to keep Wirtz for the next one?
If not, who would you go for (Wilson and Dango already in)?

1. Rayan - Bou with some nice fixtures, but him or Tav/rotation risk?f
2. Semenyo - but blank, and some rotation risk with RM in CL.
3. Szobo - should be playing as AM with Frimpong back and Wirtz injured but he never hauls.
4. Schade - double up with Dango ain't too much?

Else?

  No estimated return date given by Slot and short turnaround between 28 and 29
  
  He's a sell but team dependant e.g. bench options, FTs v hit etc

What to do with Wirtz? Bench him for JP, dont fancy him against Arsenal though.

Or bring in Thiago for JP or Mbuemo for Wirtz. Both would be for a hit.

I am still stuggling to get my head around question of who I should transfer out to get VVD in

A) Mukiele - injured of course
B) Munoz
C) Timber (GW31)

Then bench

1)TImber
2)Munoz

Have Mbeumo and Bruno. Other defenders are Gab and Anderson. Logic would say Muk as return date not certain.
