Join us for another episode of Fantasy Premier League Breakfast Club this morning.

We will be live from 11:15am on our YouTube channel, but you can also watch the show embedded in the article below.

Joe and David will be joined by Az today after he missed this week’s Scoutcast.

Having juggled moving house with his FPL plans over the last seven days we find out what he is looking to do in Gameweek 17.

We will also be discussing who the best captain is for the weekend, with Manchester City likely to rotate once again.

At 11:30am we will bring you the team news from the Etihad Stadium as the defending champions prepare to host Everton.

    Playing another fantasy format with a 20 min deadline.

    Would you bench Sterling for Fraser or just leave Sterling on in the hope he gets 30 mins or doesn't even come on?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Sterling is glued to the bench

    2. Holmes

        Joe just said you take FFS cups more seriously than OR. Is that true?

          • 15 Years

          Complete bollox 😀

      1. Niho992
        • 7 Years

        Aguero yes KdB MAYBE. Aguero-Sterling-Diaz

      2. George Sillett

        Think he may have honesty or memory issues.

    6. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 15 Years

      What happened to locked in for captaining him v palace 10 mins ago lol

      1. Niho992
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        You changed my mind sir.

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 17 days ago

          It’s never too late to change your mind 🙂

      You know nothing.

    7 years, 17 days ago

    Look at the difference in colour between Clare Tomlinson's face and legs. The bottom half of her looks like she's from The Walking Dead.

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Oh no how shoving !!!

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        Shocking *

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      The bottom half of her is a bit clapped out on account of the attention given to it by Bryan Robson.

  4. Dele
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Sterling > Hazard makes sense. Just stick to Sane and ride it when he gets benched.

    1. LSK
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Even if you've made your decision to get rid, at least hold him for Palace and then do it.

      1. Zenith UK
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        And if he plays midweek?

        1. LSK
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 17 days ago

          If he plays 90+ it might be worth considering, but I'd still expect him to play. Players don't need one game on, one game off.

  5. The Left Duke #3
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    I really hope people sold Salah for Sterling

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Salah brace would make it all the sweeter

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        Won’t happen

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 17 days ago

          Scared?

          1. My Name Is Pepu
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 17 days ago

            What's that white fluid on your chin?

    2. LSK
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Yep. Expecting 10 points from Salah this week.

  6. yakirh
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    At least now I can captain Sterling next GW

    1. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Midweek fixture?

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Really? He will play in the cup mid-week, then it’s Pep roulette again

  7. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    A Razor price drop back to 11m will be quietly appreciated.

    1. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Yeah Razor. Ffs.

    2. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      who is razor?

      1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
        • 11 Years

        Neil Ruddock.

      2. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years

        Ruddock

  8. I Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Looking forward to Sterling coming off the bench to end that rubbish theory that he doesn't play at all if he's rested.

    1. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      So far been correct.

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Yeah, this. People are delusional. It’s all circumstantial. If City are losing or pressing hard, Sterling comes in

      1. I Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        Today I think he comes on regardless of the score. He's well rested and Sane has played a lot of football recently.

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 17 days ago

          Comes on for Mahrez after 65 for mine

      What if he doesn't?

      1. Fantastisk

        7 years, 17 days ago

        Proves nothing. That's the beauty of his claim.

          • 11 Years

    Nice little wait now until I can see ML changes... be surprised if anyone else got rid of Rich like me 🙂

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      I did 🙂

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        Gl... who for?

    2. TOPCAT1960

      Richa first sub so lets wait and see .....

    3. LSK
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      I got rid for Sane. Let's see if it worked out or not

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        Mahrez for me. Gl

        1. LSK

          Cheers, you too

    4. Alexis Nonsense

      Best points pr million player isn't he?

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        Will get back after 1 or 2 gws on wc

    5. IRBOX ⚽
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Why is that good? Rich could score and with his ownership, you’re screwed

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        I love a good little risk :). Guess we'll see

      2. F_Ivanovic
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        eh a lot of people will have benched him

      • 8 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      not sure its a good move .I gambled by playing siggy and kamara over him this week .Will play for me every single week from now on till gw26 with his beautiful fixtures

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        Getting him back. Dw

  10. My Name Is Pepu
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Sterling (c) locked for next GW

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Aubam or.laca 😉

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        Those bums trolled me last GW. Took out Salah to fund them. Not going that route again.

    2. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Even when he'll start midweek?

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        He won't. 🙂

        Diaz and Mahrez will get the cup game.

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Heartbreak central -looks like worst case scenario for owners unfortunately

      Sterling starts league cup midweek
      Benched palace weekend
      Starts Leicester away following week
      Benched Southampton league game
      Starts Liverpool

    4. LSK
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Agree, unless he plays 90 or more midweek then I'll probably go for Auba

    5. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      I'm gonna take the money and run To the safety of hazard

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        Run to the safety of an FPL troll?

  11. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Why Pep, why

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Because he has the widest bench in Europe?

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        I just think they can look pretty toothless without Aguero and Sterling on the pitch.

  12. Silecro
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    I was hammered last night and forgot to do my planned Salah > Sterling move....i should drink more often

    1. *Reformed-Character*
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Why would anyone ditch Salah - deserve serious punishment, it’s absurd

  13. F4L
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    think Mahrez starts today as City need his creativity coming off the flank with no Silva/KDB not ready yet. Sterling is much more of a goal poacher

  14. Alexis Nonsense
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Getting Sterling seem more and more like the biggest failure of the season

    Funny how getting the highest scoring player has caused a red arrow bonanza

    Think I might go without City assets rest of season, madness I know

    1. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      enjoy the red arrows then

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      And yet you won’t

    3. KenyaDigIt
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      I sold Sterling for Kane just before the deadline. I'm city free, apart from Ederson.

      With so much competition and rotation, I'd rather wait until after the busy festive season and look elsewhere.

  15. Vobinho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    That's what everyone deserves for captaining a city midfielder, there are huge extremes of highs and lows. Recently, Sterling captainers have had the 40 point captaincy haul, as well as a big haul v West Ham, so these disasters will come along now and again.

    You either opt for safe captaincy or take the risk for the big haul, sometimes it doesn't work out.

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      You just got to time it right. 🙂

      He did me great against West Ham and Bournemouth. Sane's (vc) points against Watford when Sterling (c) was benched. You can't each and every decision right.

  16. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    got sterling for gw14 and ditched him on my wc gw16 .Worked out nicely

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      probably because you couldnt afford him

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        no coz i felt haz kane aubs were better captain options till gw22 for captaincy and already had sane who i felt will match sterling till gw21

    @WR - you got mentioned on the breakfast club, as an fpl cup fanatic

    1. The Bandit

      7 years, 17 days ago

      Lol what? Apart from the time I won it I don't think I've ever reached the third round 😀

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years

      Yes and it's never their fault - always the manager who obviously selects their FPL team.

    2. Jafooli
      • 13 Years

  19. Fergus1107
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Dropped all my City attacking assets over the last few weeks. There's a weight off my mind every weekend that is well worth the few points I may drop over the season!

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      just get Mahrez, Sane and Sterling and you don't have to worry 😉

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 17 days ago

        Then he will play both Silvas on wings with KDB in middle lol

    Pep on sterling benching

    “Everyone deserves to play, everyone wants to play. I miss Raheem but everyone has to play. I try to move the squad so everyone is involved. If we win something this season it will be because of everyone’s efforts.”

        Biggest plot twist ever

    3. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years

      With a few othere that knew Sterling would be on the bench , I'm not one of them but I sold Sterling anyway

  24. #FPLBhuna
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 17 days ago

    Owning sane and sterling softens the blow

    Plus captained Kane

    Not too fussed

    Still revelling from sterlings 42 pter captain haul a couple weeks ago 😉

    1. Niho992
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 17 days ago

      Kane could be benched too. Llorente haul today.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet

    2. Hotdogs for Tea

      You are probably best having both and getting 3 out of 4 games average from them combined - will outscoring most that way
