Meet the Manager #1: Nick aka Triggerlips

Unknown

no new reports since the report that he didn't train yesterday (ahead of tonights' game). A few initiated city reporters have said earlier that it isn't thought to be serious, and even though we don't know if that means 4 days or 14 days we can't rule out that he'll play this weekend.

Hopefully (but not likely) Pep's press conference will shed some light on the situation

Damaged his vocal cords singing the N'golo Kante song nonstop over the international break

I have a suspicion it’s not an injury cuz he was used as a (healthy) sub in France’s game immediately preceding last gw. Also the fact his ‘injury’ hasn’t been described adds fuel to the fire that his benching wasn’t purely related to a health problem..

In 30 minutes( at the latest)
Same time every night

Yes

float it imo

And next week you can do Salah --> Hazard (and use your other FT on Bilva --> mane if you want more liverpool coverage, or do a different transfer)

Tempting, but I would probably save and get him in next week

Save

Lose Moura for Rich (or Maddi if you prefer) and upgrade Button to Ryan/Hen

I am as well 😉 and I stand by my thoughts 🙂

Don't think you should dump Aguero for Giroud. Not because I don't think Giroud will get you points, but because I think Aguero is more likely to get you more.

In shorter term he's also more likely to get fewer minutes with they EL away tie tomorrow, and then double liverpool the week following this weekend's derby..

If you're looking to get some more funds I'd downgrade Mitro --> Ings, however that is a tough one because I think Mitro could get a fair few points. The idea then though is that Ings would sometimes be on your bench and you could upgrade Ward to Shaw/Monreal/ or even Trippier/Robbo

It’s 1:49 now.
As answered above

It depends what country you live in, they take place in around 20mins

very few city players looked "great" (the two that came closest were the two subs, Sane and Aguero) but Bilva definitely didn't have a bad game.

For me, none of those moves (unless we get more info on Mendy's injury) so can't help you there, sorry.

good luck

B then A then C imo, however they're all decent.

Alli (if fit), if not, Silva.

Maddison is an option. I'm looking at Fraser, Seri, Milner, or Jorginho to save some money.

Moura has looked good, Pedro may lack some playing time, but he'll be involved when on the pitch.

Silva or wait for Alli to return to fitness.

It's a possibility...after playing 90 back-to-back. Can see him starting and getting about 60.

Always a risk with Pep but my guess is that he'll play his best team and he loves David Silva. While KDB is out he feels like one of the most nailed on players, together with Mendy, Aguero and Laporte.

Who'd he play in midfield if he benched Dsilva? Maybe if he played Foden (which he's mentioned he'd like to do more).. fernandinho is likely to play, however Gundogan had a stinker today and I don't think he'll start.

But hopefully Pep's presser will give us a clue or two (not likely though)

Pereira

Shaw due to fixtures, and perhaps swap him for TAA after the IB if things look the way they are looking now

C

haha.. if this is your bench, who are you playing?

Also have .5itb 🙂

Foster and Patricio have been decent.

Leicester City has a good run of fixtures.
CP does as well.

I did Pickford > Henny for a hit. Had enough

Why wont Silva feature

Why the heck wouldn't they start?

Silly David

Smalling

Shipped him to get Hazard, but wouldn’t mind keeping him actually

Hanging on to him. He will deliver....just need to be patient.

Cheers both! How often do you think rotation will be an issue?

Tough one really.
Part of me wants to hold but another part of me wants to offload him to Rich or Madd.

Holding. In good form.

Looks good. (with a punt added 🙂 )

i've not taken a hit all season!

Each new article is just a new page to ask the same old questions.

Bernardo to someone cheap. Seri, Milner, Fraser, Pererya

What is your transfer for ? What's the big picture ? Any of those listed could score this week minus Ings who can't play. Better off with a hold'n'roll and sort it next week with 2 FT with a plan.

He hates the chips. With good reason because they add a bigger element of luck. Especially with his philosophy which is to build over time.

Game has grown to 5 mill players though. Much harder now.

No. Just ride Patricio. Excellent keeper in a side which looks midtable. Probably land on 140 points on his own. Save the 0.5 mil.

If have no other issues in team then yes as patricio doesnt save much

I personally would never use a FT on a keeper

Either get someone who rotates perfectly with Patricio or stick with hamer

I'm on Salah(c), so Mane seems a reasonable choice. Hazard and Aguero are both good choices as well given their opponents. Bit of a crapshoot. Maybe stick with your early instinct.

Thanks will do, plus he’s at home

Mitrovic, Murray

Wilson and Mitro

You gave us your credit card details? What were you thinking?

The Arsenal Striker been playing in the EPL for over 10 years?

not sure Triggerlips has every played in the EPL and I second the first comment, has the Arsenal Striker been playing in the EPL for 10 years?! if not, how is it relevant to someone that's been playing FPL for 10 years and most likely not an Arsenal supporter?!

This is your WC team right?

Save and reasses next GW

I'd stick with that

I’d do Walcott > Madison/Richarlison, play AWB and save a FT.

Pogba hasn't impressed in EPL. Penalties is his only bright spot at the moment.

If you down grade a defender, i'd upgrade Ralls or Hughes. Both pretty worthless.

Bring in Hazard and Fraser

I'd have a stronger bench, but hold on to Ings.

All of those are terrible, so Billing

Replace him for one GW meaning you would get him straight back in the next?
