Should we buy cheaper Man City assets with premium options not rotation-proof?

The fourth Friday night deadline of the season is rapidly approaching and there are the usual quandaries for Fantasy managers to consider ahead of Gameweek 10, as well as some fresh ones.

Manchester City rotation is an issue that never goes away, while a ‘light at the back’ strategy is still paying dividends – for now.

Wolves assets, Liverpool’s fixture turn and Callum Hudson-Odoi (£6.0m) are also generating their fair share of discussion in the Fantasy community.

Our rotating FPL Question Time panel are here to answer your questions on the above.

Howard Miller: If the premium Man City players like Sterling and Aguero are not immune to rotation, is there merit in choosing a combination of their slightly less expensive but well-performing players such as Mahrez, De Bruyne, David Silva etc to free up funds to spend elsewhere?

Applebonkers: Despite Man City’s best efforts to redefine how we think about FPL, I still cling on to the perhaps outdated belief that you pick nailed-on players, especially at the higher prices.

If City’s disgustingly bloated squad doesn’t offer a Mane/Salah/Kane level of security then at least the next best thing, can you confidently call them a first-choice player? Sterling you can, Aguero you still just about can, De Bruyne you can, but can you with Mahrez or David Silva? I’m not so sure, both those players look more circumstantial.

A Bernardo Silva injury/ban in Mahrez’s case or a string of international breaks in David Silva’s case. Maybe even a pre-Wildcard punt when you’re only betting on one teamsheet. Meanwhile, someone like Sterling is arguably beyond circumstance.

The season so far has made a fool of my old-school beliefs but, like a stubbornasaurus, I’m not budging.

Rather than jump down to another Man City pick, I’d still lean towards looking at safe starters elsewhere. Long term you’re likely saving transfers and dodging potential tail-chasing.

Twisted Saltergater: Despite being arguably the most explosive of FPL assets, my patience with Aguero wore out this week.  That could bite me on the rear with Man City having two home fixtures up next, but for me, it boils down to having a couple of go-to captain options. At £12.2m, Aguero has to be a reliable captain pick.  

By reliable, he doesn’t need to haul every Gameweek (although that would make things considerably easier), but you need to feel confident of him starting matches. The form of Jesus (a goal a game) and how sharp he looks means that Pep has a genuine alternative without weakening his starting line-up.

I don’t perceive the same threat of rotation with Sterling. Sané’s injury means there are three players (Mahrez, Bernardo Silva and Sterling) competing for two wide attacking roles.  

Pep also doesn’t have an equivalent player in his squad that operates as the ‘inside forward’ in the way Sterling does. Bernardo Silva can fulfil that role as he did in the 8-0 thrashing of Watford, but that has been the only exception to the rule thus far.

If Aguero is your blonde bombshell, then Vardy might be the brunette librarian. However, there’s plenty of fun to be had with the £3.0m realised by that ‘downgrade’.  

Suddenly, Cantwell can become David Silva. Four double-digit returns already this season, he’s averaging 5.7 points per game. So, if you can handle his minutes being managed and the inevitable one-pointers, he will deliver over the longer term.

I actually have enough funds in the bank for Mahrez. Personally, that extra £1.0m over David Silva means the rotation risk with Bernardo Silva becomes more of an obstacle. If the impending FA charge carries a suspension then Mahrez should become very popular indeed. Until then, I think David Silva + £1.0m shades it.

Just a quick point on de Bruyne. Keep an eye on how much additional defensive cover he is providing since his return from injury. Particularly with the troubles at centre-back, Pep may have asked Kevin to rein in his attacking tendencies. We should know more following their next home game with Villa.


Migas: Best Pukki replacement of same value or lower?

Pirlø’s Pen: For the next two I really like the look of Neal Maupay at £6.0m. He faces two sides in Everton and Norwich which do not travel well at all.

After these two games, the fixtures really firm up, and at the same time Danny Ings’ fixtures clear up.

I think swapping these two is very viable and will give you a set of really appealing fixtures.

However, if I were looking for a Pukki replacement myself, I would either be downgrading to Connolly and investing more in my midfield or finding the extra cash from elsewhere to upgrade to the far superior options in Vardy, Jiménez, Abraham or even Rashford with his kind upcoming run of games.

David: I have been really impressed with Chris Wood of late, the Burnley forward scoring four goals in as many Premier League matches.

Although he’s got Chelsea at home this weekend, I don’t think this is much of a tough fixture for him.

Burnley have always had a knack for crashing the clean sheet party and given Wood’s form I don’t see why that can’t continue in Gameweek 10, especially at Turf Moor.

Over the last four Gameweeks, only five players in the Premier League have recorded better minutes per expected goal involvement (mins per xGI) than Wood.

Once this round of action is out of the way, Burnley face Sheffield United (away), West Ham (home), Watford (away) and Crystal Palace (home).


Jullepuu: Is it better to double up on Liverpool defenders or attackers when their fixtures turn?

Applebonkers: The captain’s armband probably has to be mentioned here. If you are someone who only captains midfielders or forwards then it only takes one Liverpool attacker to essentially ‘cover’ the armband option in every juicy fixture of theirs.

With Alisson now back you can arguably add another £1.0m to the value of all Liverpool defenders.

Meanwhile, you could arguably strip £1.0m of value from Liverpool attackers given the extra competition Mané/Salah/Firmino will face when fighting for bonus if Liverpool keep a clean sheet.

Sure, Mané and Salah will get an extra point in a clean sheet but I’ve got a word count to stay below here, am already furious with Scout for inviting me on and adding to an already bad case of overthinkingitis.

The more budget-friendly route of double defence is where I’m leaning but you can’t scoff at the alternative as that’s essentially saying Mané or Salah (or Firmino) are bad options.

Twisted Saltergater: As someone who brought in Firmino for four Gameweeks and 31 points, I’m not going to persuade anyone to not double up on the Liverpool attack.  

At the time, I could cover the Liverpool defence with Adrian – a £2.5m saving on Alexander-Arnold or Robertson – that enabled the Firmino pick.  

That said, I would be reluctant to have both Mané and Salah because of their premium price and you’d be giving yourself a captaincy headache.

With the return of Alisson, and Matip settling in alongside van Dijk, I expect clean sheets to follow.  

Alexander-Arnold and Robertson with their attacking threat should keep pace with similarly priced £7.0m midfielders and strikers.  

So for me, I’d prefer those two full-backs plus one of Mané or Salah, whichever you feel comfortable captaining.”


Lindelol: Are Jimenez and Wolves defenders now an option ahead of their favourable fixtures?

Pirlø’s Pen: I think now is the time for Wolves assets. When looking for my Pukki replacement last week, I turned my attention to the attacking Season Ticker and Wolves were at the top of the tree.

If you are looking for a reliable long-term striking option I don’t believe you should look any further than Jiménez at £7.1m.

I remember being shocked at his low price when the initial price reveals came out. Now he’s dropped £0.4m and sits at £7.1m, the first word that comes to mind is *bargain*.


Kyle: Is it now worth having a big front seven and going lighter in defence?

Twisted Saltergater: It’s certainly viable. With the emergence of Lundstram, Rico, Targett, Dunk, Soyuncu and co., clean sheets are not exclusive to the ‘big six’ teams. Throw in Tomori at Chelsea, potentially Aurier at Spurs, and budget-priced centre-backs at Man City, and you don’t need to shop in the basement. 

I saw a stat that showed the frequency of clean sheets this season are broadly in line with past seasons, but there’s been a greater variety in the teams achieving them. Variety means unpredictability for us, so why pay a premium at the back?

Alexander-Arnold with his attacking threat is practically essential, so a compromise might be to partner him with the aforementioned £4.5m enablers. Focus on centre-backs that are BAP magnets in the sub-£5.0m bracket, and look for full-backs and wing-backs with the most attacking threat if shopping for richer tastes.

Applebonkers: I think every player should be looked at individually, in essence letting the players decide the formation/structure.

Right now, even £4.5m defenders look like a luxury with the glorious/infuriating (delete as appropriate) rise of Lundstram, Rico and Kelly. Are opposition attackers going to keep missing glaring chances against Sheffield Utd? Are Bournemouth going to continue keeping clean sheets or can Rico keep assisting in the games they don’t? Will Kelly continue holding off Tomkins and Sakho long-term? Can the premium defenders keep dodging clean sheets so consistently? My personal hunch is the answer to all of these questions will start to tip the balance back towards the pricier defensive assets and open the door for all sorts of successful structures once more.

Identify the players you want most and see what structure that takes you towards. It only takes a double transfer to become your own chiropractor and snap your team into another shape in a month’s time.


Cattman: Is tripling up on Abraham, Mount and Hudson-Odoi too much? I’d love Hudson-Odoi and don’t want to lose the value in the other two just yet.

Pirlø’s Pen: In short, not at all. Owning Abraham and Mount won’t affect how many points Hudson-Odoi scores.

I think it’s important to look at each pick in isolation, and when you do, they are all top options in their price brackets. Owning all three is a luxury that won’t come around next season, as they are all sure to get heavy price increases. Take advantage of that whilst you still can.

David: Personally, I do think this could be a bit too much, especially ahead of a trip to Burnley in Gameweek 10.

I think Abraham, Mount and Hudson-Odoi are all strong options but I can’t see a particularly free-flowing game at Turf Moor.

The Clarets have specialised in making their home ground a tough place to visit once again, with clean sheets in all but one of their four matches there this season.

Furthermore, Sean Dyche’s men are in the top four for the lowest expected goals conceded (xGC) score over the last four Gameweeks.

I think there could be value in going for it and the three players you’ve mentioned in combination are a good way to play out some shield-to-sword/upside-chasing tactics.

But, for me, attacking triple-ups are all about timing.

I’d rather be looking at deploying such a trio from Gameweek 11 onwards, personally, when Chelsea travel to face Watford before a home match with Crystal Palace.

West Ham and Aston Villa also have to come to Stamford Bridge in Gameweek 14 and 15.

The only other arguments against such a set-up include whether you use a Chelsea slot on either Tomori or Alonso with some strong clean sheet potential over the next six Gamweeks.

Also, if you’re tripling on the Chelsea attack, remember that it has to go away to Manchester City in Gameweek 13 too…

          Why are you playing Diop over Lund? Did you place a bet or sign a contract or something? Genuinely curious, not sarcasm

        2. Bucket Man
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Ok not a bad choice either. Diop has impressed me and they have home advantage.

  7. La Vida Latte

    4 years, 5 months ago

    How big is the advantage statisticly when playing on home ground in terms of goals made and goals conceded? Anybody got a number on this?

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      There were many analytical articles on this in preseason. Maybe Google might help with finding them

      There's an advantage, yes. Problem is that the advantage depends on how close the teams are in quality in the first place. Say, if a game was meant to be 50:50, home advantage can make it 60:40. But if it was 30:70 from the start, home advantage doesn't change much. Good example would be the teams that the EPL boys beat in UCL this week

      1. La Vida Latte
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        True that. And some teams seem to have a bigger difference between home and away games (like Everton this year). But there is maybe an average?

  8. Ze_Austin
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Why I want TAA + Robbo: Liverpool's high line means more attacking returns

    Why I don't want TAA + Robbo: Liverpool's high line means fewer clean sheets

    *sighs*

    1. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Think Salah + Mane is also a viable strategy from GW12/13 specially for Sterling owner who already own one of them.

    2. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Thing about Liverpool is they're only a stone's throw from a run of clean sheets. It won't take much of a shift at all for 2 Liverpool defenders to become essential.

  9. BigBillyBass

    4 years, 5 months ago

    Opinions (just for fun)...

    1) Most overpriced player currently in the game?
    My vote - Pepe/Doherty/David Luiz - take your pick

    2) Most underpriced player currently in the game?
    My vote - Mount/Tomori

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      1. Can't possibly beat Pepe. Is it even possible? Only Sanchez of last season beats him. D Luiz is close but it's for understandable reasons as he was priced before his move 😀

      2. Ser John of House Lundstram

      1. BigBillyBass
        • 5 Years

        Of course how could I possibly forget the House

      2. ‘Tis the Season
        • 5 Years

        Pepe hasn’t past the eye test for me

  10. Lav

    4 years, 5 months ago

    Save FT?

    Pope
    TAA Ota Soy
    Sterling Sane KDB Maddison
    Wilson Tammy Connolly

    McGovern Lund McGinn Baluta

  11. Bumbaclot

    Captain choices for non sterling owners?? Tempted by salah this week maybe

    1. Lav

      Or another City asset.

    2. BigBillyBass
      • 5 Years

  17. sirmorbach

    4 years, 5 months ago

    Guys, I've got 2 ft and WC available. What do you suggest for this lot?

    Heaton / 4.0
    TAA, VVD, Otamendi / Lundstram, Rico
    Salah, Sterling, Mount, Yarmolenko / Cantwell
    Vardy, Abraham, Pukki

    Been thinking about ditching Pukki, not liking Heaton. What would you lads do?

    1. ElliotJHP
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Downgrade Pukki and bring in CHO for cantwell?

      1. sirmorbach
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        That does sound like a very good call. Do you have anyone in mind for Pukki?

    2. KingOllie
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Heaton -> Ryan and save the other FT i think

      1. sirmorbach
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Hmm, good call too. Will do it if I decide to give Pukki one more chance.

    3. Citizenkane91
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Don't wait too long on the wildcard, good time to use in gw 13/14. If you want to wait longer than that, I'd suggest Pukki to Connelly to finance DSilva for gw 10 and 11, save FTs in those gws and then do Silva to Cho, Connelly to Ings. Normally I'd suggest Maupay, but here there are fires in midfield and Brighton fixtures turn in two GWs time, so a potential bench fodder at 4.5 seems a better waiting move, particularly with City's next two.

      An alternative route, if you believe Trossard to start vs Everton, could be Yarmo to Trossard, Pukki to Maupay (with the option of Cantwell to Cho for -4).

      1. sirmorbach
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        That is incredibly helpful. Thank you very very much indeed, mate!

  18. KingOllie
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    I am wildcarding for gwk13, the one downside is that Henderson will miss the game vs UTD and hes the only keeper iv got my eye on 🙁

    Worth just taking a blank? or maybe go 2x 4.5 keepers

    1. ElliotJHP
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Blank it baby

    2. Christina.

      1. KingOllie

        Fixture swing for Liverpool - i want to get 3 of them and sort a couple other issues out

        1. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          ok. still crazy to not have a keeper, especially on a WC.

          1. KingOllie
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            May have to push it back to gwk 14, guess i can do Sterling -> Salah as a FT that gwk anyway

  19. Bumbaclot

    I know Liverpool's fixtures don't look great on paper, but has anyone considered a Mane and Salah double up paired with 1 Man City mid?

      not a bad idea, good fixtures coming soon

      Yes mate I have Mané and KDB and Sterling atm, will do do Sterling to Salah in couple of weeks, then easy to switch back to Sterling when necessary fixture wise!!

      I had both at the start of the season but sold Salah when he got injured and out of form.
      I may get Salah back when the fixtures turn again

      Here's the thing for me:

      With zero interest in City defenders until things are more settled/predictable there, I have three open spots for attackers from the highest-scoring team in the league (third season running?). Might just be Sterling + KDB for a long period though

      This leaves premium defence slot wide open, and TAA is a natural fit. Salah/Mane would be in my team regardless of fixtures, as they can blank against the easiest team and haul in the toughest game

      One premium spot left (if we aren't counting Vardy). Getting a second Pool mid would mean I'll only have one City player overall, while getting a second Pool fullback means I can have three Pool attackers (Robbo and TAA are basically midfielders) and two/three City attackers, "covering" Pep's roulette with Sterling and KDB

      This is a long term strategy though, and I see the block of fixtures in GWs 13 to 17 that tempt people to lose City. Just doesn't tempt me as much, I guess

    Regardless of money: Ryan, Patricio, Pope, Heaton, Henderson, Schmeichel? Who's the best option?

    1. Citizen Kane
      • 4 Years

      Pukki > Jimenez
      Yarmolenko > CHO

      1. Steiger
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Thought that myself, however, I may save Yarmo for one more week and just do the Jimenez transfer this week.

        1. Citizen Kane
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          yeah you could do that.

      Double WH is too much imo. Pukki also a problem now. Double pool defence can be good niw that Becker is back. Change attack thats priority

      1. Steiger
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I think you're right. Cheers

    Anyone tempted to go Pukki to Maupay for 2 weeks and then to Ings (if hes still fit 😛 )? Or just play safe and go Jimenez?

    Stuck, having a bad season.

    Pope
    TAA Otamendi Soyuncu
    Mane Sterling Maddison Mount Pepe
    Abraham Wilson
    Button Lund Rico Greenwood

    Pepe out? Or leave him for Palace at home?

    1. Tempestic
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Pepe to KDB surely

      1. Sterling Malory
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Can't afford it without a hit

    2. Citizen Kane
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Give Pepe one more week then if he blanks downgrade to 4.5 and get vardy

    3. Magic Zico
