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.

                Aye. He’s one of 4 on the pod. He’s trying to play a non template team. Holly Shand, one of the pro pundits is another on the Pod. It’s an entertaining listen, Dinnery is excellent for his injury analysis on players.

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

    Team becomes:

    McCarthy
    Chilwell - Justin - TARGETT
    Bruno (VC) - KDB (C) - Grealish - JOTA
    Kane - Werner - Calvert-Lewin

    Forster - Mitchell - Stephens - Lamptey

    0.5 ITB.

    The -8 hit isn't ideal but this would be a long term move as I intend to keep KDB for his good run and in GW11, I'd use the 0.5 on a free transfer to upgrade Mitchell to a 4.5 defender to give me two viable bench options.

    Thoughts?

    Which one?

    A. Kane > DCL
    B. Kane > Vardy
    C. Keep.
    I feel like, as soon as I get DCL he'll stop scoring!

    Also James Rodriquez - stay or go?

    Cheers!
