King and Mitrovic is meh. Mahrez is meh. VVD is meh considering Robertson and TAA even. Kepa too expensive considering Chelsea leaky defence. Needs refurbishment that teams. Luiz on the bench is shocking.

Luiz shouldn't be starting somewhere.

Fair play on keeping Mahrez. He's a good pick if you're prepared to stick with him.

Ings plus 1.5m ta very much

Had both, but will watch Zaha closely against Watford. Just going with Ings for now.

Alonso only knows to attack!

Hazard and Alonso playing on that wing past 2 seasons and Alonso has been killing it

I know you can sell him if he doesn’t work out. I guess my point is - how can you WC when teams don’t yet even have a full strength XI out.

I include in this City too - we don’t know if Sterling is nailed, is 3-5-2 a one off or a likely theme etc.

Other examples - we don’t know if Sarri prefers Pedro or Willian

Or if Trippier is nailed or will continue to rotate

If Shaqiri starts a few easy games - like this GW. If so, for who.

Is Mkhitaryan nailed or will Laca play easy fixtures

Etc etc

Alonso scored against Arsenal when Hazard was on the pitch...

I had similar thoughts however I don’t think Hazard will be played on the wing, he’s drifting behind Morata when he’s appeared from the bench & I can actually see him being utilised just like Mertens was by Sarri in Napoli. I’ve just got Alonso in & Haz is next on the shopping list after Newcastle as I believe it will just be a cameo again for him this week

I know were your coming from am a Chelsea fan. With the ball Hazard is world class without it he's a Sunday league player. Back four now so Alonso is going to have to do more defending if he plays ..

He may not be if he's lining up for Athletico week after next

The others are all crap or can't be arsed in the case of Austin

I think Hughes is desperate to get the Southampton fans onside. If Ings remains fit and continues to fire in shots, then it's a lot more entertainment than they're used to.

He is literally the only Southampton player that looks like he's any sort of a footballer.

It doesn't seem to matter who starts up front for Soton. They always struggle for goals.

+1. I loved that article. So helpful

Yes

Wanna say A but B is pretty good

B, but who's your other two premium players? Aubameyang and Aguero?

-4 seems bad but depends on what the rest of your team is. I sold him but without a hit

Bavies.

Davies should never be benched if owned imo. Great premium pick.

Option 2. Mane at home to Brighton cannot be ignored.

Firmino has always played deeper with Salah as a sort of false 9, inside forward mix

Ings. Wilson has played West Ham and Cardiff who are both poor.

Same backline as me!
I've used my FTs. I'm sticking and hoping that Shaw starts. There is not much news about his injury so maybe wait until tomorrow to make a decision. If the rest of your team is solid, I would stick. AWB will be back next game weekend anyway. Shaw could be great value long term.

Mane!

Is that your mid? Like Maddison and Pedro but others either have poor fixtures, benched recently or patchy form

Why so determined over Mkhi or Pedro?

B easy with Ings

Hazard probably just

The question troubling many. I have Mane right now but only because I don't want to downgrade Pereira in defence to a 4.5. Would love Haz.

Mane with cash in the bank for Hazard next week?

Foster

foster dear 🙂

I have a feeling Laca starts this GW

Downgrade to Ings and free up a lot of cash.

Keep/Zaha/Ings

On possibly playing two up top on Saturday?
At the moment, no. At the moment, I think we need to have the control with the possession, with the positioning on the pitch, with more players inside. And after this possession, to do the attacking moments and defending moments with this balance

Winter is coming

The summers gone but a lot goes on forever.

And I can't forget.

I can't forget.

Keep an eye on The Guardian.

Rafa will drill them well

hold auba
west ham are very poor right now

I'd do it, yeah

Not knee jerkey, but Arse have decent fixtures incoming.

The team providing Aguero's ammo is a hundred times better than those supplying Aubameyang. That's even before you consider comparing Aguero and Aubameyang as individuals.

i think you can't play fantasy without aguero he could punish you at any game
don't forget man city fixtures are tempting for aguero especially newcastle the favorite victim for aguero at ettihad and brighton 🙂

He's not nailed, but might do

Go with Tyrion Lanister's doppleganger

do u have 2 fts and nothing else to do ?
if not id hold

i think so

probably
unless fabinho also plays

may be 🙂 pray till saturday 🙂
