The Technical Area – Man City’s Attack, Home vs Away

An unceremonious defeat at the hands of League One Wigan may have scuppered Pep Guardiola’s quest for a legendary quartet of titles but Manchester City’s Premier League form has been as strong as ever.

After sweeping five goals past Leicester in their final fixture before the FA Cup break, City have now found the net an impressive 79 times this season – a full 18 clear of their nearest rival, Liverpool.

With five attackers – Kevin De Bruyne, Raheem Sterling, Leroy Sane, David Silva and Sergio Aguero – all past the 100-point threshold in Fantasy Premier League (FPL), City have clearly proven themselves to represent our most reliable source of regular Fantasy points.

As 19,000 delirious Wigan fans discovered on Monday night, however, there is a marked difference between City’s form at home and on their travels.

In this latest Technical Area article for members, we will put this under scrutiny, with particular reference to the merits of keeping faith in Man City’s attacking assets.

      downgrade Ota/Alonso and upgrade Lin

    Assuming Spurs will beat Roc and blank, doesn't it make sense to just use FH for gw 31 since you will likely use Bench Boost for the upcoming DGW anyways? Why save the FH? Can someone kindly explain to me the reasons behind this?

    1. CloudSky
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      There will be blanks in 35. BB and TC set for DGWs in 34 and 37.

    Schmeichel

    Jones* Alonso Azpi Ota (Masuaku)
    Salah Sterling Bilva Choupo (TC)
    Firm Kane (DCL)

    .5 ITB, 2FT

    Thinking Azpi and Bilva out and a combo of these options in:

    Defenders :
    1) VVD
    2) Robertson
    C) Other

    Mids:
    1) mane
    2) Eriksen
    3) Mahrez

    Thoughts?

    1. CloudSky
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Im probably doing VVD and Eriksen but it could really go any way.

    On a wildcard.

    Which duo would you opt for here:

    A) Vertonghen and Mkhitaryan
    B) Trippier and Mahrez

    Pickford | Foster
    XXXXXX | Maguire | Robertson | Mee | Daniels
    Salah | Eriksen | XXXXXXX | Doucoure | Fraser
    Kane | Aubameyang | Firmino

    I am certain this has been addressed a million times but I've been offline...
    If Spurs go through vs Rochedale, their GW 31 match will be postponed, right?

    1. TorresMagic™

      Yes.

    Alonso should start against United eh?

    1. RIDZ
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      did you pay that expensive player to bench?

      1. CloudSky
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Think he is probably asking if Alonso starts for Chelsea not if he benches him or not. And yes, he should.

    2. d3bug

  19. Rex Lapis
    • 9 Years

    get Firmino (-4) or Mane?

    1. Srv210
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Mane needs to be assessed for his PL form, right now I'll go for firmino,but avoid hit if you can

  20. Bavarian

    6 years, 2 months ago

    what to do first and for who???, please:

    Jones > Van Dijk
    Otamendi >> Francis or Bauer

    2. BIG TONES
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Leicester just shipped 5 goals... Shaq has scored well recently, Rich is bang out of form.

      Make of that what you will.

  23. Srv210
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    How league changes, till last year kun was a must for me in DGW, this year not thought about him yet

  24. IRBOX ⚽
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Bench one:
    a) Otamendi
    b) Mee
    c) Simpson
    d) Alonso

    1. Sukeerth
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Tough one. Maybe Ota, the unlikeliest choice.

  25. BIG TONES
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Alonso or Azpi out for?

    A) Bavies
    B) VVD

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Azpi, VVD

  26. Sicaholic
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    what to do with Gomez?
    should i do Gomez to VVD? or Jones to B.Davies?
    i have salah and firmino so cant get vvd in for jones. thanks in advance

    1. Theres mo limit
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Is Gomez back?

      1. Sicaholic
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        not flagged but no idea if he is going to play

  27. infamousprob
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Who to get for next three fixtures?

    A) Arnautovic
    B) Deulofeu
    C) Walcott

  28. jia you
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on ditching KDB for Eriksen?
    I've had KDB for ages and he has served me well. But with the title almost wrapped up, surely he is due the odd rest. I have no Spurs assets atm.
    My midfield is: KDB / Salah / Hazard / Sanchez / Shaqiri

    1. barracuda
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I don't think this move will hurt you, plus invest the change.

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        I'm thinking the same. Maybe save FT this week and do it next week though.

  29. barracuda
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Will there be a DGW for Huddersfield and if so what week? Many thanks

    1. Jaws
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Probably in GW34 according to B. Crellin.

  30. Your Mum Zohore
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Think of Deulofeu as Lingard's replacement instead of Shaq, thoughts?

    1. barracuda
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      A trap I think

      1. Your Mum Zohore
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Seems to be the main man in midfield, got a couple of shots against West Ham, next two fixtures looks good, a nice differential maybe?

        1. barracuda
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          If you feel punty then go for it.
