What impact will Aké have on Man City’s FPL defenders in 2020/21?

Can’t you just use the player comparison tool?

I've gone for KWP and Egan.

"... rotating 2 GK or Def that always have home game? ...". Consider FDR rotation as well ...

Four forwards?

Season before last?

It's the complete opposite

A back four is inadequate. That's why I'm going with a back five.

people don't stick to it long enough or just choose the wrong ones/go too cheap - they also get sucked into bandwagons that go nowhere thinking they are the next Mahrez

It works long term. The problem is the people who commit to it back out and get swayed trying to catch cheap attacking bandwagons instead

I started the past two seasons with 4-3-3. In 2018-19 I got into the top 10k almost immediately and never looked back. In 2019-20 it started slowly but it was easy to move towards 3-4-3 and I got back on track. If it goes wrong then it takes only 2-3 transfers to get a good 7th attacker.

For me if I'm looking at a 3-5-2 with Greenword vs a 4-4-2 with Robertson, I think I prefer the Robbo double up with TAA for 0.5 less.

This is what is leading me to a back 4.

It doesn’t have to be expensive. I mean
TAA l VVD l Doherty l Saiss comes to 26

It's boring.
But it'll rake in points. I'm all IN for 4atb

Back fours work plenty well, if you have the right players. There isn't some magic curse on the formation that stops it from working even when the players are bringing in points consistently.

Mitchell play for palace today

But I agree chances are these options will evaporate

Johnson at West Ham is the best hope at the moment

Actually I think we can have hope!

Ferguson, Mitchell, Strujik, Douglas, Johnstone all have a chance!

Not alot between them. Some would say Dier is more nailed but Bavies might offer a slither more attacking potential.

Only necessary from GW5-8

He's underpriced with great fixtures

I once had a player on CM0102 (with updated DB) called Ollie Kane and I liked to pretend he was Harry’s son. He scored a lot.

Does that help?

Start with Kane for GW 1 and transfer him out for yourself for GW 2 and beyond.

Depend on what the rest of your team looks like

More shots, shots in the box, shots on target and penalty area touches than Son post lockdown, will play 90 minutes every week, on penalties, great fixtures, lowest price he's been in years.

From GW30-38, Kane scored seven goals and lead the league with the highest xG on-target (non-pen).

With such a high price, it'll be easier to make a Kane > Messi move.

I’d be happy if that was my GW1 squad, probably.

Sterling or KDB - that will be the big decision!
I'm leaning Sterling for a gamble...

I would love love love this for next season

Haller Antonio
Grady Soucek Rice Bowen
New LB Ogbonna Diop Johnson
Fab

Though I still don’t trust moyes to start Grady despite being one of the best players in the championship last year

Ibra 11.5 I think

Of course it could - just depends if Werner hits the ground running, there are so many options, hard to know which way to go!

Yes

Yes but do you have any sort of bench?

Injured.

Trent Talexander

Terence Trent Arby

Did you just refer to him as The Top Assister? Let's hope he will be at the end of the season.

Apparently he's a fraud and/or coward. I would avoid.

😆

He's outperforming his xG, regression imminent. Avoid IMO.

I think so but would love to see him in the Prem.

Think so too, seems a bit odd for Pique to come out in support of him otherwise.

Bit heftier than 14 by the looks of this picture.

7.0m

He’s no Phil Foden

Think RVP was 14 at one point too. Would seem the logical price point for Messi.

I think Henry was 14m at one stage too

As is, Mitro will start and play barring injury/suspension.

As a team desperately trying to win the Champions League I can't imagine not wanting to sign the best player in the world.

I've been a City fan for longer than I can remember, and I just chose a 2005/06 Richard Dunne shirt over a Messi shirt as a minileague prize, so I definitely see where you're coming from. A lot of us are nostalgic for the old days but the club has to be ruthless now and it's a once-in-a-generation opportunity.

I think Foden deserved more minutes after Liverpool wrapped up the title, but with Silva gone he should get more minutes and will continue to develop regardless of whether Messi arrives. Pep was appointed as Barcelona manager just after Messi's 22nd birthday, so he knows how get the best out of young talent. The fact that Foden's training every day with world class players is a key part of his development - just think of what he can learn from one of the best players of all time!

I fear that ship has long since sailed

Football lost its soul years ago

Get Messi in & enjoy the short term fireworks, the whole house of cards that is elite club football is probably going to collapse in the next few years any ways

Brewster isn't going to start ahead of Firminho. Good option if he moves on loan. I'm a bit wary of Newcastle assets, think they'll get relegated. Other than that its good.

Thought it seemed strange and it was out of character for him after all the leadership qualities he has shown.
Glad it had a purpose

Where have you seen that he's resigned? All I can find are protests against him.

GW10

Reply to JackieBoy

That would be a great signing. Lampard will probably take them close to the title without him too
