Who is the best FPL captain for Gameweek 6?

Otamendi is in my WC team.
In the next 6 you'd expect 3-4 cs.
At 5.4 still great value.

I'd be on him if I was wildcarding and, judging by my dismal start, maybe I should be!

Started the season with Ederson as I couldn't decide who was the most nailed of the defenders, but Otamendi looks a great option.

I am not convinced city def is the way to go. Attacking points are where is it at the moment and would rather have a cheaper def and upgrade elsewhere.

I would hold on before going any City defence at the moment. Lack of attacking returns and clean sheets. I reckon the Laporte loss is going to hit hard. Also, only 1 fit CB in Ota and CDM playing CB. Any more injuries and it is good night.

I'm bringing in Mendy this week (GW6) on my WC.

Controversial opinion: if Mendy comes back in at LB, Zinchenko will move forward into LM.

Ota is a solid pick, will get a few CS's given the fixtures and can pop up with a goal or 2 along.

Keep Zinch this week, but Mendy when back, would displace him imo.

I still really like Otamendi.

2.4% ownership, cheapest route into City's defence - whilst not as strong without Laporte, I still believe they'll shut out a few teams over the next six - plus lots of goal threat, all seven of his shots have come in the box.

Considering VVD to Ota this week to free up some cash this week as I already have TAA.
I feel if I dont get rid of double Pool def this week ill end up keeping for another 2-3 gameweeks.

No. I think city defence is over rated

Don't see mendy permanently displacing Zinchenko.
With laporte out Zinchenko is a more solid defender than Mendy.
Mendy a better attacking option but gets caught upfield.
With a makeshift centre back pairing Pep's going to need to trust his fullbacks. Guarantee Walker had his backside kicked after last week.

Otamendi is feels like the safest choice for city defence right now.
I'm a Zinchenko owner slightly concerned about Mendy coming back to share games/minutes. Will probably replace him soon to Otamendi or downgrade to make some funds for attack.

We do know that City no matter line up will get cs sheets. More than most teams. Ota will play most games if not all. Price is good. Offers threat on set pieces. Fixtures is nice.

With Dinho they get a dm that reads the game very well. Decent on the ball. No pace and it weakens City even more on set pieces against which they are vulnerable. Watford, Everton, Wolves is next three. Al three teams capable to harm them on counter attacks and have more physicality, i ask myself how on earth will City defend vs Watford and Wolves on set pieces against. Everton not that more physical team but also in context, set piece takers in all three teams are excellent. Holebas, Dign/Sigurdsson/Moutinho.

I really want fullbacks, not sure right now but Emerson pictured in training so hopefully back for Brighton and nice run ahead. Arsenal once they get Belle and Tierney could be good, Chilwell is one to keep an eye on but seems a little brittle regarding fitness.. Soyuncu is the caveat as you wil pay 0.8 more for the same team.
Aurier is an outside pick if he nails that right back at least vs the weaker teams. i have a feeling that Poch will play him in easier fixtures and then play the more defensive minded Foyth in harder ones.

My view is biased as i want City to concede, as Pool fan and owner of Kun/KDB.

Otamendi is terrible, hence the defence is not as appealing. Zinchenko not nailed anymore either. Avoid city defence imo.

If city can find some defensive structure, the upcoming fixtures are great for a couple of clean sheets. At that price, it's worth a shot

Solid, but gametime to be monitored after Pep comments;

'Fernandinho & Otamendi are too old to play every game'

"I didn't have doubts [Fernandinho] could do it," Guardiola said after City's win on Wednesday. "Nico is 31, Fernandinho is 34 and the next alternative (Eric Garcia) is 18. For three or four months I don't know what will happen."

I really want him, but I don't think he's my top priority for the time being.

Presently happy with Trent + Digne + Diop + Soy + Lund, and if I were to make a move it would probably be a downgrade to Digne to enable Son

Laporte to Otamendi seemed a no-brainer move last week saving 1.1 in the process, I remember his goal threat well from his peak days at City so happy to hold despite not being convinced City will get more than one or two CS over their next five or six.

Great discussion point. Yes, I agree. I expect him to get rested the odd game (as pep alluded to when saying Rodri and Walker can also play CB, and stating Ota’s age) but I back pep to restore the back line with the CS’s coming

I moved Zinchenko to Otamendi on my wildcard. Zinch was only in there as the cheaper route into the City defence, now Ota is cheaper I think it makes sense to pick him. He carries a goal threat, although that has to be balanced by the increased threat of cards. Pep says that he can't play every game, however he hasn't got any other fit CBs. Until Stones is back he's going to have to play almost every game that isn't the league cup.
