Targeting Man City assets and why I’m holding onto the Wildcard

Manchester City’s Gameweek 10 fixture swing is finally upon us and it could prove to be pivotal to how the Fantasy Premier League season pans out for many of us.

We have truly reached an important crossroads for our big decisions as the focus continues shift away from Tottenham assets in the direction of Manchester City’s premium attackers. 

The Citizens have seriously explosive potential as they host Burnley (who could be short of Nick Pope), Fulham and West Bromwich Albion in the next four rounds while Newcastle will come to the Etihad Stadium in Gameweek 15.

      Nick Pope masterclass. City win 4-0 anyway.

        Pope won't play.

        1. FantasyHero
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Why?

        2. Merlinho
          • 14 Years

    I need to either play 2 from Reguilon (che) Zouma (TOT) Dallas (eve) or take a hit to bring in Dias or maybe a Leicester defender if any are nailed.

    What do you think lads?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Zouma and Dallas will do the job

    2. Arthur Shelby
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Play Zouma and Reguilon imo. Not worth a hit.

  4. Arthur Shelby
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Who scores more for the rest of the season, Ziyech or Auba?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Ziyech atm

      1. Arthur Shelby
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers. Draft trade... Looking to buy Auba 'low' but the worry is he won't recover

    2. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      the only way to go Auba would be before a couple of consecutive games against whipping boys. but so many other big hitters have great fixtures it's tantamount to self harm.

      1. Arthur Shelby
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        It's draft so a more long-term approach. But valid point still, thanks.

        1. Sarri-ball
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          For draft auba still beatd ziyach gor mechance of both or a swap deal?

  5. Holmes
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    About to lose value on Rodriguez again, sigh...

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      More points for you then.

    2. Wılly
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      More opportunities for him with Digne out

  6. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Guaita
    Robertson kilman zouma
    Son Fernandes Ziyech grealish
    Watkins DCL Kane

    Nyland Taylor burke dunne
    1 FT 3.3 ITB
    Kane to Vardy (C) is the plan

    Any Suggestions?

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

    Which move would you make?

    A) Saiss to Konsa
    B) Kane to Vardy
    C) Kane, Saiss and Podence to Vardy, Konsa and Jota (-8)

    1. JohnBlack
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A

  8. No Professionals
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    i literally have no idea what to do, having no city or liverpool big hitters will make it painful viewing. Happy to take the hit.

    Martinez
    Chilwell Saiss Taylor
    Fernandes Son Grealish Foden

    A) Saiss & Son to Coufal & KDB
    B) Saiss & Fernandes to Cancelo & Salah
    C) Saiss & Son to Cancelo & Jota

    A) looks the best bet?

    1. Thescaff

      A

  9. youzef
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    What to pick
    A) Son and Jimenez out for De Bruyne and Wilson in for a - 4 hit?
    B) Ziyech and Jimenez out for Fernandes and Bamford for a -4 hit?
    C) Ziyech and Jimenez out for Ferran Torres and Vardy for a - 4 hit?

    I own Salah, Ziyech, Grealish,Jota, DCL, and Watkins.

    1. Thescaff
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Don't take a hit

      1. youzef
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        May I ask why ?

        1. youzef
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Should I just bench Jimenez and Aurier and play this lineup and save FT.

          McCarthy
          Chillwell Cancelo Justin
          Jota Son Salah(C) Ziyech Grealish

            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Given the attacker you'd bench, save.

  10. FantasyHero
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Gents how does this sound:
    Grealish kane jimmy -> kdb vardy Watkins for -8
    Given Watkins is on penalties I think he is worth it.
    There is just no other way I can get kdb in my team as I wanna keep fernandes and son
    I would prefer getting jesus/aguero so i can do it for-4 for 2 gws before getting kdb but who knows which one starts
    Team:
    Martinez steer
    Lamptey Mitchell Dallas coufal chilwell
    Grealish* son fernandes hamez bissouma
    Kane* jimmy* DCL

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not worth it

  11. Catastrophe
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Anything worth a hit chaps?

    Martinez
    Chilwell, Zouma, Justin
    KDB, Fernandes, Son, Jota
    Vardy, DCL, Bamford

    (Steer, Kilman, Bissouma, Mitchell)

    Planning Justin -> Dias/Cancelo GW11 and Vardy & Bissouma -> Salah (c) & Brewster GW12.

    Cheers.

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      'sall good man

  12. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    This is my defence:
    Robertson Chilwell Lamptey Coufal Kilman

    I want to play 3 of them every gw but i have 2 options cause i don't have enough money for my attack:

    A)This defence + Jota
    B)Downgrade something in this defence for 1.6m + Son

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Jota

  13. Kryptonite666
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Defence is a mess. Expect City to get a clean sheet v Burnley. Is Dallas to Cancelo worth a hit. Should pay off in a couple of weeks.

    Martinez

    Chillwell Dallas KWP (Lamptey) (Branthwaite)

    KDB Fernandes Ziyech Grealish (Stephens)

    Vardy Bamford DCL

    1. Begbie.
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      The only issue I have is taking a hit for him when he's not nailed could be a disaster.

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Rather lose KWP if you look a few weeks ahead

      1. Kryptonite666
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I thought about that. But Lamptey and KWP rotate well next few weeks.

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Ok. Dias a bit more nailed? I have Cancelo already and a bit concerned he might get a rest after playing 90 mins mid-week

          1. Kryptonite666
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Cancelo looks more likely to get an occasional assist. Although Dias is also meant to be a threat from set pieces.

            Mendy has been shambolic so don't see Cancelo losing his spot.

            Expect some rotation during hectic Christmas schedule so need a bench to cover for him. All things considered, still prefer Cancelo

            1. Fulchester's New Centr…
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Feel reassured now.
              GL.

      What?!

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

        Might be rested, no?

  15. OverTinker
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Semedo to Dias for a hit? Yes or No?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Semedo plays Arsenal.

      1. OverTinker
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Should I wait one more week then?

        1. TorresMagic™

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          If you are doing it for a hit next GW, it's all about this GW.

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Arsenal can't score

  16. waltzingmatildas
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Was going to ignore kdb but now the pope news just seems too good to be true.
    Which of these?
    A) grealish and r.James to kdb and balbuena
    B) grealish and Kane to kdb and vardy
    C) bissouma and Kane to kdb and watkins

  17. JURGENAUT
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Saiss, Zaha, Son > Targett, Jota, KDB (-8)?

    McCarthy
    Chilwell - Justin - TARGETT
    Bruno - KDB - Grealish - JOTA
    Kane - Werner - Calvert-Lewin

    0.5 ITB.

    Thoughts?

    1. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Don't like a - 8

    2. Abra Dubravka
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No

  18. SHOOTER MCGINN
    • 8 Years

    Martinez
    Robbo Dias Chilwell
    Bruno (c) Son Grealish Bowen
    Kane DCL Richarlison

    Steer Mitchell Bissouma Lamptey

    Anything worth a hit? Have 2m in the bank, but can't see much unless I go for a -8. Bowen to Jota is an option

  19. Rhodes your boat

    Who is going to replace digne in the Everton side?

    1. Joey Tribbiani
      • 3 Years

  20. OverTinker
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Who is more important this GW Vardy or KDB? Currently on Vardy but ofcourse not sure

    1. waltzingmatildas

      I've been on vardy all week. But now I'm nervous about kdb!

  25. Egyptian Giza
    • 7 Years

    If I rank 1.5k and have to play Zouma, Chilwell, Son, Kane and Werner, should I do the old fashion Werner>Vardy(c) or should i just use my WC and bring the likes of Salah and Kdb

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      very subtle...

  26. royals forever

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Salah(c), Bruno, Son, Jota, Grealish

  29. youzef
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    What to pick
    A) Son and Jimenez out for De Bruyne and Wilson in for a - 4 hit?
    B) Son and Watkins out for De Bruyne and Brewster for a -4 hit?
    C) Son and Jimenez out for Ferran Torres and Vardy for a - 4 hit?
    D) Save FT.

    I currently own Salah, Ziyech, Grealish,Jota, Son as Mids.
    DCL, Jimenez and Watkins as fwds.

  30. The 12th Man

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

        If pushed, Bamford. But I would push back hard. And then change my mind and say Grealish
