    Sterling -> Salah for a -4?

    1. Jimmy Boy
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Don't be silly

    2. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      No

    3. Long ball Larry
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Definitely do that. Not like they haven’t played yet or anything

    4. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Well Salah is pretty much nailed

    5. My Name Is Pepu
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      For the guy whose ceiling is 8 points?

      1. Fantastisk
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Do you mean 42 points?

      2. Silecro
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Last week he urinated on that ceiling

        1. My Name Is Pepu
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Fool's gold. He's not going to do that every week.

    6. altan8797

      dont get rid of sterling when he is benched. whats the point?

  2. My Name Is Pepu
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Laporte 15-pointer inevitable

    1. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Evitable.

    2. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Inevertonable

  3. UpAndAway

    This is the fourth game Sterling has missed. That’s almost one in every four GW.

    1. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      And yet he's the second highest scorer in the game. All this tells you is he and a decent bench player is basically essential

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Sane can cover at present.
      I have both & may look to reassess?

  4. Maddi Son
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    The one positive (cope) about Sterling is the midweek fixture. If he starts that game then it's gonna be an easy decision to get rid. If he doesn't then Sterling(c) against Palace.

    1. Long ball Larry
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Oils easily play both

      1. Long ball Larry
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        *could

      2. Maddi Son
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Indeed but then there's an element of risk that I cant be arsed with.

        1. Long ball Larry
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          True. Always a risk having him

        2. EgyptianKing
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          I understand yes.

          Owning Sterling is so a mix of high frustration / high reward

    2. EgyptianKing
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Even if he starts midweek, can’t he play 2 matches in a row..?

      Will he be constantly “rested” when he plays midweek?

      I understand but not agree with your point this time mate. I can agree, however, that in this specific period there are other City attacking assets who seem more nailed and a little less victims of Pep roulette, yes

  5. ILOVEBAPS

    Mahrez = 15 pts coming up!!

  6. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Something wrong with the official FPL site?

    In my team the players are still showing GW17 opponents?!!!!

    1. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Now it's changed. 🙂

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Refresh and it should work

    3. Fantastisk
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I hope you knee jerked in players that went big last week...

    It was obviously Sterling would be rested in this easy fixture. Everyone that did Salah > Sterling have made complete fools of themselves.

    1. Fantastisk
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      This

    2. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      These posts are extremely annoying.

      I'd put both of my cats on it that you'd be saying the same thing about Sane if he was benched today.

      1. Maddi Son
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        (Didn't do Salah to Sterling btw)

      2. My Name Is Pepu
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        People need to keep themselves busy so they come up with all sorts of BS. Wishful thinking.

      3. EgyptianKing
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Exactly this.

        So so easy to make the good decisions after they happen.

        If Sterling hauled today and Salah blanks, I imagine the “wooow fools the ones who did not sold Salah to get Sterling”

        1. GoonerSteve
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Human nature, once you know the answer your mind fills in the logic to get to it. If the answer changes, the logic changes, but we all like to think everything is logical!

    3. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Was it obvious , because I sold Sterling , but thought i was a genius muahaha 🙂

      BON the bell end with his insightful weekly posts!

  8. diesel001

    Sterling owner, but would love a 1pt cameo to hurt the Sterling(c).

  9. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy

    5 years, 3 months ago

    Sterling getting his rest ahead of the busy Xmas schedule.

  10. Danstoke82
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Sterling rested again.

    Starting to wonder why I brought him in. Think he’s only played twice since I owned him back in mid November!!

    1. Long ball Larry
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      He’s a good pick, always a risk any city mid will be rested and rotated

    2. DMP
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Sold Haz for him. My worst fpl decision this season.

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        haha

      2. UpAndAway
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Same. Hazard’s points just keep ticking over as well.

    Hope Pep gets distroyed with Richarlison Hattie.

    1. GoonerSteve
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Sincerely hope not. I’ve benched Richarlison.

      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Pep’d and Poched in the same GW. That is how I feel as well 🙁

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I didn't get Pepped

  15. suddenorgan

    Cup opponent has used their free hit and brought in Holebas, it's all over for me

  16. LA Seson Seven
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    I want my salah points from GW14 onward....
    Worst transfer I did this season.(Salah-- Sterling, GW14)
    Also did Haz to FAnderson GW15. Will this hunt me???

  17. LA Seson Seven
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Haunt...

  18. korbendallas82
    • 10 Years

    Troll posting. Should be ban material.

  19. lilmessipran
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    What's with all the kneejerk reaction on transferring out sterling for a hit? I own both Sane and Sterling and will keep sterling for almost the entire season. Why is it news that pep is going to rotate almost everyone bar probably Ederson with the squad he is got? Raz will get 0 one gw and 20 plus the next gw, imo he is a season keeper unless injured as he will probably be the top 3 point scorers at the end of the season

  20. Patson Dabaka

    Anyone else has Bilva since gw1? Fantastic player! Got me a fair few points too.

  21. Says

    5 years, 3 months ago

    Me: buys Man city player from extremely deep squad with 2 good players at every position.

    Pep: rotates squad sometimes

    Me: Pikachu face
