Guardiola promises rotation for Gameweek 36+ after City and Sterling rout Brighton

Brighton 0-5 Manchester City

  • Goals: Raheem Sterling (£11.8m) x3, Gabriel Jesus (£9.7m), Bernardo Silva (£7.6m)
  • Assists: Jesus x2, Riyad Mahrez (£8.6m), Rodrigo (£5.3m)
  • Bonus: Sterling x3, Jesus x2, B Silva x1

A bumper 21-point haul from Raheem Sterling (£11.8m) was the cornerstone of Manchester City’s 5-0 thrashing of Brighton.

The 17.3%-owned midfielder hit a hat-trick as Pep Guardiola’s squad rotation looked out for the many, not the few, for a Fantasy change.

All four of City’s most popular midfielders, including Kevin De Bruyne (£10.8m and 52.4%), started, with the 50,000+ managers who’d drafted in Phil Foden (£5.5m) the main losers of Gameweek 35+’s pleasingly dull instalment of Pep Roulette.

In terms of major alterations, the Poundshop Pep that is Brighton boss Graham Potter was the man to blink, although his five changes really didn’t help one bit.

The stats tell that tale with a sparse elegance – City had 26 attempts to Brighton’s three, with eight of those on target to the home side’s zero.

Five of the shots found the back of the net, starting with a lovely finish from Sterling, who curled home Gabriel Jesus‘s (£9.7m) pass from the edge of the area.

The Brazilian striker then hit the bar before scoring when he helped on Rodrigo‘s (£5.3m) flick from a De Bruyne corner.

That goal summed up the Belgian’s day – he was consistently the man who assisted the assister, while his one goal attempt involved a knuckle-ball free-kick that hit the outside of the post.

Two nil to the good before the interval, City doubled that advantage alarmingly quickly after it.

Sterling’s second, on 53 minutes, involved a close-range header from Riyad Mahrez‘s (£8.6m) cross, and three minutes later, Bernardo Silva (£7.6m) got in on the act by following up his own shot, which Brighton keeper Mat Ryan (£4.7m) should have dealt with far better.

It would be nice to report that Sterling saved his best until last, but that would be to ignore the major comedic value of the hat-trick goal.

The winger was released by substitute David Silva‘s (£7.3m) pass over the top. He flicked the ball over one defender, lost his balance in the ensuing tussle and, as he hit the turf, the ball bounced off his unsuspecting head, through Ryan’s legs and in off the post via a doomed last-ditch Dan Burn (£4.5m) clearance attempt.

It was messy and, in Fantasy terms at least, magnificent, helping Sterling to his highest haul of the campaign.

The goal also emphasised just how hot is his form at present – he’s produced three double-digit returns from the last four Gameweeks, of which he’s only started three. And in his six appearances since football resumed, Sterling has six goals, three assists, three clean sheet points and eight bonus.

Mahrez has featured in all seven City fixtures since the restart, starting six of them and producing three goals and as many assists. That might prompt alarm bells among his 10.4% ownership in the run-up to Wednesday’s Gameweek 36+ home match against Bournemouth.

And if it doesn’t, Guardiola’s post-match comments really should:

We played one team against Newcastle, today another one. A new four or five or six players will play against Bournemouth.

One of the men who might survive is Sterling. He was certainly on the receiving end of some major Pep praise, and possibly a hint as to his future selection prospects.

He is a huge competitor, self-confident, aggressive. He loves to score goals. We have wingers who score goals. This is so important. All the credit is for him, not just for the three goals, but they are important for what we have ahead of us.

City have been either brilliant or indifferent post-lockdown, winning four times by an aggregate score of 18-0, but also losing twice away from home.

Their desire to win, and win convincingly, is clearly being influenced by the fact that their best chance of winning the Champions League – possibly for quite a while – will come when that competition returns in August.

The need to find and maintain form is therefore driving this team to ruthless heights at present, and Bournemouth look ill-equipped to cope.

Jesus, with two goals and two assists from his last two starts, could be a decent differential pick as he’s owned by just 5% at present, although he is in the top five for Gameweek 36+ transfers-in, albeit a long way behind leader Sterling in that particular race.

Foden, meanwhile, has been used a lot more at home than away, and his cameo at Brighton suggests much heavier involvement to come in midweek, which could bring in good returns for his bargain basement price.

Brighton were uniformly awful against City, and Potter’s summation of the match is best left brief:

City were too good tonight. We were well beaten by the better team.

The in-form Leandro Trossard (£5.8m), who’d scored in consecutive Gameweeks before yesterday’s debacle, was the team’s brightest spark, although that was in relative terms only.

His two attempts led the way for the Seagulls, but seeing as two City defenders – Benjamin Mendy (£5.5m) and Eric Garcia (£4.5m) – and defensive midfielder Rodrigo also matched that total, it was little to write home about.

Overall, Potter’s side are more muggle than magic at present, unsurprising seeing as they’re all-but guaranteed Premier League football next season.

And their final three fixtures – home to Newcastle in between trips to Southampton and Burnley – will surely involve fewer goals than yesterday’s game, but could still all end in the same result.

The team’s most-owned asset in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is back-up keeper David Button (£3.9m) – an apt summary of their Fantasy appeal as the season winds down.


Brighton and Hove Albion XI (4-3-2-1): Ryan; Bernardo, Webster, Dunk, Montoya (Lamptey 59); Bissouma, Mooy, Pröpper (Stephens 59); Trossard (Jahanbakhsh 70), Groß (Burn 78); Connolly (Maupay 59).

Manchester City XI (4-3-3): Ederson; Mendy (Zinchenko 64), Garcia (Stones 72), Laporte, Walker; Rodrigo (Fernandinho 72), De Bruyne (D Silva 64), B Silva; Sterling, Jesus (Foden 64), Mahrez.

    Who has higher chance for clean sheet this week Pope or McCarthy?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      50/50

    2. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Probably just about McCarthy though Pope looks better over the last 3.

    3. The Rock
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Tricky one. Wolves have had poor attacking stats recently but 3 goals yesterday may give their attack a bit of a boost.

      I think i would play McCarthy. Burnely have been overachieving defensively.

    4. PrettyDick
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I would say easily pope. Wolves haven't looked good going forward in forever and Brighton always seem to create chances, even against Liverpool and city.
      Also, Burnley have a better defense than southampton.

  2. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Not sure whether to FH36 or save for FH38. Current team after i use my FT

    DDG
    Taa • Doherty • Holgate -- Kiko Lamptey
    Foden • KDB • Bruno • Pulisic -- Guendouzi
    Jimmy • Rashford • Vardy

    If i FH, i will bring in Martial, 1 more city player, 2 more chelsea players, Ings and Antonio

    1. TomSaints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I have near identical team. On a terrible run of form so tempted to free hit to freshen team up. Then again I do think things look ok on paper and luck may turn this week

    2. PrettyDick
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I would 100% free hit this GW. Something like

      Pope ( DDG )
      AWB - Azpi - Stevens (Maguire - Trent)
      Foden - David Silva - Pulisic - Antonio - Willian (Mané/Salah, Fernandes)
      Jesus - Ings (Greeenwood, Giroud)

      Off the top of my head, with options in brackets.

      1. TomSaints
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Looks good for an off the top of your head!

  3. sovietrockettes
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Given the ban lifting, Sterling(c)?

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Sure.

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Don't follow the logic - but Raheem is always a good shout vs the Cherries

    3. Wild Rover
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      How does that affect anything? 😕

      1. Siva Mohan
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        contract extensions.. more champagne and less game time may be..

      2. Amey
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Bald fraud giving special massage to all players.
        If you remember Ribery & Pep funny clip 😀

    4. PrettyDick
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      why? (I mean how do you reckon the lifted ban effects Sterling's minutes?)

  4. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Lol at UTD fans screaming of unfair play and corruption . Black kettle in hand , pouring into their black pot .

    Get over it 😉

    1. Amey
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      They are earning it bro
      Not getting from Oil daddy

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        So it is ok for UTD to buy success but no other team. Typical UTD fan reply mate 😉

        1. Amey
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Here we go again on FFP 😀

        2. Amey
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Ban/Fine to United would be fine with me if they overspend too ...

    2. PrettyDick
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      How is it the same thing?

    3. The Rock
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      It's not really the same situation at all is it? And it isn't directly related to how much money they spend either. Maybe have a read of the below to see why City were in trouble. They've been cooking the books and this is the 2nd time City have got in trouble over FFP. Have Utd even been charged once related to this?

      https://www.forbes.com/sites/bobbymcmahon/2020/02/16/uefa-ban-manchester-city-for-2-years-separating-the-facts-from-fiction/#6097846c204f

      And Utd are favorites to make 3rd spot, and favorites for to win the Europa League. So a very good chance of making CL regardless if 5th places qualifies for CL or not. This more affects Leicester and Wolves than anyone.

  5. Atimis
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Rash KDB to Jesus Willian or FH or something else ?

    Ederson
    TAA/Doherty/Kiko
    Salah/Sterling/KDB/Bruno/Puli
    Rash/Green

    Martin/Lasc/Holgate/Connolly

    1. Zenith UK
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      If you're going to FH, this is the week to do so.

      1. TomSaints
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Why this week over 38 in your opinion?

        1. Zenith UK
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Last gameweek of the season if dust has settled mass rotation from teams that can't change their situation

          1. TomSaints
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            So wouldn’t that make the case to free hit focussing on those with something to play for and fun punts?

            1. Zenith UK
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Assuming there is something to play for... and "fun punts" doesn't really go in line with a lot of people on this website are after in my personal opinion

  6. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    is it worth getting in Sterling for free if I have KDB and Foden already?

    Or just get Giroud/Jesus?

    1. JammySprat
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Depends who you taking out. Sterling most explosive

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Salah would go.
        Controversial i know but his next 2 fixtures are not great.

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          I sold Mane for Sterling for the same triple up as you. So the answer from me is yes.

          1. Weasel Boy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Nice.
            Are you going to cap Sterling?

            1. Camzy
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              As of right now, yes.

  7. JammySprat
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Thinking this is the week CHO explodes to give Chelsea fans even more to look forward to next season

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      on a hooker?

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years

        You can watch the full video on his German nudism website CHO.DE

  8. Jebiga
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Wolverhampton have some chances for 4th place for CL ?

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      GW38 .. CHE vs Wolves .. decider!

    2. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yes outside chance.

  9. Siva Mohan
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    any club breaking FFP rules can expect just a €10m fine, and no ban..

  10. GE
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Aurier -> ???

    1) Azpi
    2) Alonso
    3) Digne
    4) Robertson
    5) Egan

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Wait and see if he takes compassionate leave. He might not (unlikely, but still worth waiting on). If he plays, he could put on a masterclass in memory of his brother.

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

        We won't know whether he starts or not before the KO

      2. GE
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Fair point, do you think we know if he takes a leave before tomorrrow?

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Mourinho presser maybe? Not sure. If not, I'd utilize the bench this week. No super standout defensive options right now.

          1. GE
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            If Lascelles do play I have cover 🙂

    2. fc_skrald
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Tarkowski?

      1. GE
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Good shout, I have Pope already but maybe a good move

    3. yakirh
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I want Alonso, but that's only because I'm wildcarding next GW

  11. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    What’s the purpose of financial fair play if there are no repercussions for breaking the rules? Absolute joke.

    1. GE
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      This

  12. Saka White Rice
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    So many people bringing in a Chelsea asset just for this GW only. Yes it's Norwich but are you not worried they are so bad that Lampard might not start Willian/Pulisic/Giroud?

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      They have to win remaining fixtures.
      Can't take any risks

    2. Siva Mohan
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      all 3 will start.. 4/5 days till next game

    3. jtreble
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      CHE are desperate for points ...

    4. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Considering what’s at stake, playing in CL, I don’t worry at all.

    5. Captain_Shirokov
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Tammy was shocking, Pulisic was one of the ok players, only worry is Willian imo - he was beyond useless

    6. Maddamotha
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      But there are 3 games left only. Get as much points as you can now, and target Norwich.
      No way Lampard will take any chances here resting players after the loss against Sheffield.

    7. Bubz
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Why wouldnt he?

    8. noquarternt
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      They’re in a very real fight for their CL spot. Their best players will play.

  13. Gazza2000
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Will play my bench boost this GW with this lot.

    What to do with this front 8:

    Mane, KDB, Bruno, Pulisic, Foden
    Rashford, Greenwood, Jimenez

    Current benching headache with Greenwood/Foden/Jimenez. Thoughts?

  15. Sterling Archer
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Salah to sterling seems a logical move,

    only 3 weeks left, city have much easier fixtures and could score 5 in each game!

    in a 3 comparison surely sterling wins comfortably,

    issue is it would be for a -4 to make the move

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I'm considering it on a FT

    2. lvgrvp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      surely city have less incentive to play now that they have secured second place and have fa cup/cl to focus on

      pool are at least going for records and salah for golden boot

      salah over sterling but ideally would try and get both

  16. Amey
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Is there anything more useless than FFP in this world ??

    3rd sub on our bench of FPL team/ Alexis Sanchez / Ozil ??

    1. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Alexis Sanchez was the best player in the Premier League in 16/17

      1. g40steve

        DWG C awesome score!

        1. Amey

          TC 😉

          1. g40steve
            • 6 Years

            Yep, 75 from one player, 135 wk score 🙂

      2. Amey
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Was*
        I loved him too
        I hate him now for what he is now.
        Same with Ozil. No hate towards Ozil though ...

        1. g40steve
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Not their fault if you could manipulate
          a huge wage rise you would!

  17. Piggs Boson
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Good luck to whoever is in charge of predicting City's lineup in the team news section. I will be basing my transfers around it and will sue if it is inaccurate.

    1. Maddamotha
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Ederson
      Cancelo, Stones, Garcia, Zinchenko
      Fernandinho, Dilva, Gundo
      Foden, Jesus, Bilva

  18. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    So essentially if City have been found "not guilty", what is the 10m fine for?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        Surely that wouldnt be called a fine then

        1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Just kidding

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      For withholding information during the trial maybe?

      Not engaging with the investigation. From my quick review UEFA / CAS have limited actual powers and resource to investigate a club and rely on open books / transparency.

      City stonewalled the early investigation

    4. GreennRed
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Platini.

    5. Zenith UK
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      "fail to cooperate with Uefa authorities"

    6. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      For not cooperating with the investigation.

    Pulisic or Sterling captain?

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I'd feel safer with Pulisic.

  20. fakelund
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    David Silva or Pulisic this week?
    (have KDB, Foden and Azpilicueta already)

  21. Bruno Commando
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    What to do with this lot for 36+?

    1) Jimi -> Ings
    2) Mahrez + Jimi -> Sterling + Greenwood for a hit
    3) FH this team

    Pope
    TAA // AWB // Saiss
    KDB // Bruno // Pulisic // Mahrez
    Rashy // Vardy // Jimi

    Bench: Krul // Egan // Lord // Cantwell

  22. FOO FIGHTER
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Patricio
    TAA Doherty Azpi
    Salah Sterling Pulisic Martial Fernandes
    Jesus Greenwood

    Pulisic to Dilva seems the best move here. Also Azpi to someone as have Aurier 1st bench. Do not want any CHE after GW36.

    I am capping Sterling for Bournemouth 🙂

  23. Zenith UK
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Need some opinions please? Won't pull the trigger until after tonight's game... Current situation *I FH GW35;
    ML1 (biggest £ pot) - Chasing 59 points
    Me; Bruno (c), Martial, Greenwood vs Bruno, Greenwood, AWB - for tonight

    ML2 (smaller £ pot) - Leading 10 points
    Me; Bruno (c), Martial, Greenwood vs Bruno, AWB, DDG & Ings - for tonight

    For GW36;
    Patricio, Button
    TAA, Doherty, AWB, Cresswell, Egan
    Mane, KDB, Bruno, Saka, Hayden
    Rashford, Jimi, Ings

    A) Rashford, Saka, Hayden > Greenwood, Foden, Antonio (-8) < Then bench boost, will leave only Button as non-playing player.
    B) Mane, Hayden, Rashford > Sterling, Foden, Greenwood (-8) < Then bench boost, will leave only Button as non-playing player and Saka as a questionable player. This also leaves 3.6ITB for next week.
    C) What you thinking?

  24. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    So tonight, United goals & a cheeky Sou goal by anyone but Ings 🙂

    Perfect scenario?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Not for me as a AWB owner

    2. Maddamotha
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Not for me.

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Nah, I want Ings to score as well as Greenwood Martial and Bruno...

    4. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Bruno must blank

    5. Miguel Sanchez
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I need a 5-4 SOT win with Bruno, Maguire, Martial and Ings in the goals

    6. TomSaints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Rashford Scores 4

      1. TomSaints
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Saints score 5 =D

      2. Mr. Sitter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        This

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

      As long as Martial scores I’m happy

    8. Zenith UK
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      This...

      Man U 3 - 1 Southampton

      Bruno G x3
      Martial A x3

    9. Nedvěd11
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      2-3

      Martial x2 (greenwood x2 assist)
      Ings x3 (DDG x3 assist)

  25. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    A. Start one of DCL or Egan.
    OR
    B. DCL to Ings for a hit.

    Yes, Ings is a great option, but are we a 100% sure outscores DCL by 4 points or more?

    I'm thinking of going A and getting Ings in next gw for free.

    Thoughts?

    1. PrettyDick
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      nobody's 100% sure of anything but yes, I would do DCL to ings for two hits even.

  26. The Final Boss
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Guys tc on 37 on utd players good?

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Lead don’t follow, biggest gains taking a risk.
      Those who C Sterling or Tonio are the winners this week.

      1. The Final Boss
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        My only concern is that they will be playing after the fa cup semi..so any injuries on your tc player is a worry..

  27. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Think i might bring in Sterling but would you ..
    A) TC Sterling
    B) TC Foden
    C) TC Pusilic
    D) TC Kdb?

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Sterling and pray...

    2. noquarternt
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      TC Foden, I’ve seen it all.

      Nah seriously no idea. Chelsea player probably considering Norwich...

      Maybe Bruno?

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah Bruno could be tempting

    3. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Non because all will get subbed off. 38 is better to use it.

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        38 could be rotation hell as well

        1. Qaiss
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah but not as bad as this week.

    4. Mr. Sitter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I would TC Silva in 38

      1. No Kane No Gain
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Ssshhhhhh that’s our secret

    Azpi AWB Digne
    SterlingPulisic Bruno - Antonio

      Ederson

    The overturning of this ban is not UEFA's fault, am I right? If the CAS has reviewed the case and overturned it that is the courts decision and not UEFA.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      If you read into it, City 'knew' they were in the right - did not bother to cooperate (surely would only have caused to open up unnecessary worms) & sat it out.

      All bark and no bite.

    2. PrettyDick
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      well yeah, but the document's/material on which they based their arguments on is on them. CAS said (in their full statement) that the accusations either couldn't be established or were time-barred. This is something that UEFA should know, it seems to me

  30. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Bets on United doing what Chelsea did to Spurs?

    Finish Top 4 & win Europa to deny them of UCL? 😆

    1. Supertrooper
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Weren't the rules changed after that happened so it couldn't happen again? Vaguely remember reading that.
