    Start

    A: Verbruggen
    B: Kinsky

    *will have De Cuyper starting

      I started Verbruggen and de Cuyper last week. 9 + 15 pts. Starting them now. Kinsky more likely to get CS, so I would start him.

      A

    3. Bavarian

      A

    4. Ëð

      A

    Bruno out for Palmer is a no brainer, isn't it?

    1. chilli con kone
      • 13 Years
      58 mins ago

      If you don’t have rogers then yes. Also prefer Saka to Palmer

    2. Ëð
      • 11 Years
      34 mins ago

      Yes

  3. Bavarian
    • 8 Years

    Start

    A- Konsa (NFO Away) - Have Calafiori
    B- Hall (AVL Home)

    1. Bavarian
      • 8 Years

      Leaning towards Hall, think Newcastle will bounce back

    2. chilli con kone
      • 13 Years

      Same position and I’m starting Hall

    3. Ëð
      • 11 Years

      Arsenal the much better team. A

  4. chilli con kone

    Have 3FT and no issues currently

    A) Wissa and Slater > 4.5 FWD & Gross

    B) Wissa > DCL

    C) Save, bench one of Wissa, MGW or Konsa

    1. Bavarian
      • 8 Years
      56 mins ago

      Save and reassess

    2. Ëð
      • 11 Years

      B

    3. Hibbopotamus

      I'd do A tbh. Would rather play Gross or MGW pretty much any week over DCL, even in worse matchups. The game is broken with "routes to points" players, one fluke assist and they haul.

    Anyone have all chips? What’s the strategy?

    Contemplating TC Haaland or WC this week.

    1. Bavarian
      • 8 Years
      54 mins ago

      It's a good week to TC

    2. terranullius
      • 2 Years

      WC for me

    3. chilli con kone
      • 13 Years
      45 mins ago

      I will TC Haaland providing he doesn’t look tired after PSG

    4. Hibbopotamus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      TC seems ideal provided Haaland comes through PSG fine

    Good afternoon all!!

    Current Free Hit draft folks….

    Raya
    Gabriel Gvardial De Cuyper
    Saka Gross Cherki Savio
    Haaland JP Kostoulas

    Any thoughts welcomed!

    Cheers everyone!!

    1. chilli con kone
      • 13 Years

      Gvardiol seems a bit of a risk on a free hit and so does Kostoulas. Appreciate your trying to make ground but with have Donna as the city cover defensively. Get Calafiori back in and upgrade Kostoulas to Garcia

      1. Thankyou mate!!! Could do that!! Food for thought!!! Appreciate your feedback!!

    Wildcard active... any thoughts please!

    Raya 4.0
    Cala Gvardiol Justin Ajer 4.0
    Saka Gross EnzoF Rogers Tavernier
    JP Solanke Haaland

    1. chilli con kone
      • 13 Years
      45 mins ago

      Solanke is not the one. Marmoush is always a threat. If you want to go for a sub 6m forward just get Barry and don’t overthink it

    2. Ëð
      • 11 Years
      35 mins ago

      DCL over Solanke

  8. Ëð
    • 11 Years
    57 mins ago

    A) Wissa -> DCL
    B) Bruno -> Saka/Cherki
    C) both
    D) roll

    3FT, £0.2m ITB

    Kinsky, Dubravka
    Calafiori, Konsa, Hall, Egan,Thomas
    Bruno, Palmer, Rogers, Gross, Slater
    Haaland, Pedro, Wissa

    1. GreennRed
      • 15 Years
      just now

      Wissa to Kostoulas

  9. RamaJama

    Should I replace any of these with another City player?

    Raya
    Calafiori Hall De Cuyper
    Mbeumo Rogers King Saka Gross
    Haaland JP

    Forster, Muha Davis Valle-Egeli

    1.1 mill. in the bank

    1. Pompel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Maybe Mbeumo to Cherki, but risky before seeing how CL minutes pan out.

      Mbeumo to Cherki or if you can afford, Semenyo for the minutes. But, let's see the CL minutes.

  10. el polako

    Jurrien Timber predicted to start.
    Are we saying White for league and Timber for Europe?

    1. Nico.
      • 13 Years
      30 mins ago

      They are pretty much sharing minutes in every game, to ease both back into full fitness from their injuries. We’ll likely see more 60’ subs as we saw vs Leeds, with Timber gradually starting more of them.

      1. el polako
        • 9 Years

        Thanks.
        I jumped the gun on WC and got Timber, now worried he’s nowhere near ready to be regular starter.

    I could BB this

    Leno Davies de cruyper MGw

    Team
    Kinsky
    Konsa Cala muharemovic
    Saka Palmer kdh gross
    Haaland (c) dcl gonzalo

    May as well go for it ?

    Cheers

    1FT. £3.7m in the bank.

    Verbruggen
    Calafiori | De Cuyper | Hume
    Palmer | Szoboszlai | Groß | Cherki | King
    Haaland (c) | João Pedro
    (Kinsky | Delap | Shaw | Van Ewijk)

    A. Roll FT
    B. Sell Szoboszlai (but for who? Saka?)
    C. Sell Hume (Silva? Gvardiol? Konsa? Hall? Ajer?)

  13. Hibbopotamus
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Do I give up and bring in MDC + Gross after holding out this long?

    4 FTs, 0.0 ITB

    Kinsky (Dub)
    Cala, Konsa, Vuskovic (Muharemovic, Thomas)
    Saka, Palmer, Rogers, MGW (Slater)
    Haaland, JP, Barry

    Currently 177k, so doing fine, and on paper this team is good. But the constant Brighton mega-hauls have killed me.

    MGW -> Gross is simple enough now, but who would you drop for De Cuyper? Vuskovic? Konsa? Thomas?

  14. trinzoo

    2FT
    Khalaili > Gvardiol and play him ahead of Konsa?

    with Calafiori and Hall

  15. Ajax Hamsterdam

    just now

    Asking a different crowd. What to do with MGw ? Only options to sell would be for a 5/5.5 mid to upgrade Gonzalo to JP in a couple of gws.
