Lacazette cap this week. Many ways to skin a cat. There are no essentials. Just watch the footy and pick the players you think will do well. Simple game.

      Is it really Salah is not nailed? Hes my C atm, is safer to choose Auba or Hazard?

        Probably safer to go with Auba/Hazard but Salahs worth the risk for me

      So I decided to peruse the Manchester City Blue Moon forum and boy was I surprised. A lot of them think it's going to be a hard game while I think it's going to be pretty straightforward since Cardiff is the worst team in the league. Are they just sore from Wednesday's game?

        Cardiff could make it difficult for them.

      My team currently as follows:

      Ederson
      Alonso, Robertson, WB, Holebas
      Moura, Salah, Fraser
      Zaha, Aguero, Firmino

      I have Pedro as my first sub. Should I replace him with one of my starting players or just keep as is? I’m not sure what to do.

      On WC.
      Goalkeepers were FAb/Fos which i don't like.
      Thoughts on a set and forget keeper or rotating keepers?
      e.g. On fixtures Etheridge and Ryan look decent as a rotating.
      Dubravka has great fixtures as a set and forget - know they haven't started well but 4 tough fixtures to start with and Newcastle are fairly defensive.
