    What are your general thoughts guys?

    1. drughi
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      not worth wildcard, team looks good, luiz>Mendy for the FT and bench maddison

    2. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Wouldn't bench Doherty on current form.

    3. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Downgrade Moura, upgrade TAA to Robbo.

    4. lamagica
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      absolutely no need to wildcard imho, mitro will have good fixtures and he scores for his nt.
      only need to tweak d.luiz (upgrade to mendy) and moura

  3. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Monreal to Duffy and kabasele to Zabaleta for -8 yaay or naay?

    1. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Or kamara to mitrovic and knockaert to bench fodder for a hit ?

    2. Rash
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Nay

    3. doy
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      -8? No way jose.

    4. Bushman
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Ouch. Generally I wouldn’t take a hit on a defender unless it’s enabling another move.

    5. Stockport Hatter
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      -8 on defence? You’re not serious right?

  4. Son is Rising
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    "48 chances conceded by Burnley from their right flank is the most any Premier League club has allowed this season in any area of the pitch. The Clarets are next up against Manchester City at the Etihad and this weakness in the right-back position may be one that Benjamin Mendy (£6.2m) could exploit of if the gung-ho French defender is selected."

    That right there. That is why you pay for members.

    2. drughi

      Sterling and Aguero to pounce on the deliveries from Mendy

      1. doy
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Imagine if Dzeko was still around...

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      On the flip side, City have only kept one CS against Burnley since 2009 (9 meetings in that period)

  5. circusmonkey

    When did bloddy Fidel Castro go up? I thought it would remain dormant through this break? Was just planning on seeing who got knacked in the internationals first. Was it all the casuals forgetting there were no games this weekend?

  6. drughi
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Considering these moves for a hit, Fraser and Kane > Sterling and Vardy. Yay or nay on those moves ?

    1. doy
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Nay not for a hit. Fraser still solid.

    2. doy
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I'd go for Laca over Vards personally.

      I never understand when people say no, not for a hit. I'd do it if it were me...

  7. Feloh

    I smell blood if Bendy is selected against Burnley.

    1. doy
      • 8 Years

      What type of blood?

  8. doy
    • 8 Years

    If Mo isn't fit for HUD (bloody spanners everywhere), should I sell for Raz?

  9. drughi
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    10, 8 and 14 are sterlings returns in home games this season, I think he had some ridiculous numbers at home last season. Burnley and Southampton at home in the next 3. Getting very tempted to bring him in

    1. doy
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Me too, Mo to Raz seems the most logical. Don't think Raz has scored vs Burnley though...

      1. drughi
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Burnley are terrible this season, saw them away against Cardiff and it looked shaky. I see city scoring 4-5 goals in that game

        1. doy
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          True, although I guess they have tightened up a bit more of late.

    Balbuena is an interesting option from GW11.

      Indeed eh.

  12. InvertedWinger
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    That Aguero stat - coupled with reduced minutes and another fixture pile up - is worrying.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Burnley at home and Mendy back though.

  13. Enes_Sahini1

    What to do with Salah?

      Just wait. No one knows anything yet

    3. doy
      • 8 Years

      Wait til pressers. Worrying tho, I see him rested vs HUD for the CL game afterwards....if he is even fit for that, that is...

    4. Beard of Zeus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Holding for now but preparing for Salah/Wilson to Mane/Vardy.. or drop Mitro instead of Wilson and get Laca instead of Vardy!

    Bad news as a Walker owner but he has been getting points on consistent basis, so not a big deal at the moment...

    Last 5 returns: 6, 7, 6, 6, 10

    3. Tommyg

      Yeah great scores but menday would seem the obvious swap. Why not get attacking returns as well!

    If Mo is injured, would you do

      That's the dilemma which one to get sterling or mane

      Sterling will mean no pool cover in their plum fixtures,that can be an issue but sterling appeal is also great hence I'm also still confused

      1. doy

        I was 19th on last week. Went for Michu(c) and he blanked 🙁

        He was a legend on that season though, grav says it all 😀

  19. Srv210
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Already used my FT to catch price rise & get rid of some players but Salah injury now complicates things , if injured then what to do

    Get mane/sterling and Mendy for -8
    Just mane for -4

    1. doy
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Raz -4

      1. Srv210
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Without Salah I'll have no pool cover if I don't get mane (have Aguero), won't that be an issue ?

        1. doy
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I hear ya but I'd be willing to take the risk if I have Robbo or the like.

    2. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Big call and depends how long he’s out for.Best wait until presser next week.If it’s confirmed he’s out for longer than two weeks he’s out for me.Out of the two you’re considering I’d go Sterling.

      1. Srv210
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Go with no pool cover in attack then ? , Already have kun

        1. *sigh*
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Me also.Do you think Mane will improve without Salah in team?
          Another option would be bring a cheaper mid option in and Kane up top.This is the one I’d consider.

    3. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Doesn’t seem like he’ll be out but if he is then Mane for me

        1. doy
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Pool attacking coverage is ideal but I guess they haven't been setting the world alight of late (granted, they have crap oppo coming up). I am thinking Robbo might be enough for this one and I'd rather have Raz over Mane for GW9....Firms has been fairly rubbish so far, much better options out there. Hmm tough call.

          1. Stockport Hatter
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            That’s all very true. Have I missed the Laca bus though? I guess time will tell. Thanks for all your help. 🙂

    Have the exact funds to do it. Seem good?

    1. Tommyg
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      1. EgyptianKing

        Cheers mate. My team would be:

        Patricio
        Alonso, Robertson, Trippier
        Mane, Hazard, Sterling, Maddison, Richarlison,
        Laca, Wilson

        Hamer, Bissaka, Holebas, Kamara

            • 7 Years

      Hit for a defender is not ideal!

    2. Tommyg
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yes. Slight concern with rotation as can't see sane just not starting for the rest of the season but gotta expect that of any man city player. The benefit outweigh the risk.

      1. Tommyg
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Didn't see the hit bit, still you would expect a cs but then your relying on attacking returns. So no, just do it next GW.

    3. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔

      Alonso.

      Utd players won't listen to Mourinho now and will attack Chelsea. Man Utd's two best halves of football came when they disregarded Mourinho's instructions and played attacking football (vs City last season and vs Newcastle last week). Pogba, Shaw, Valencia, Martial etc. are already anti-Mourinho so they don't give a crap if he gets sacked.

        Never bench Alonso, why even have a 7m defender then? Could easily get a 15 pointer!

        Utd could turn up although really unpredictable at the mo, but thanks for the thoughts

      Initial reports suggest a pull tether than a serious problem. So should be days.
