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.

    Already own Sterling, Son and Jota. Would you go:

    A) Bruno to KDB
    B) Bruno and Kane to KDB and Vardy (-4)
    C) Bruno and Kane to KDB and Salah (-4)
    D) Something else

    1. Runaway
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Is Bruno injured? If not, D

      1. Runaway
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Kane > Vardy maybe for free

    2. Snooze ya lose

      Save

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

      How can you do C for -4?
      Surely another transfer as you're getting in a mid for Kane?

      1. Mo Mane No Problems
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Should have said Vardy and KDB for Bruno and Kane - apologies

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

          But do you already have Vardy?
          B doesn't make sense then

          1. Mo Mane No Problems
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Ha - no I don’t own Vardy.

            C. Bruno and Kane > KDB and Vardy

  2. Shark Team
    • 6 Years

    Any chance Jota matches Son PTS for the next 5-6 gws?

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

      Sure

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

      Of course, could do it in GW12.

    3. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Could happen

  3. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Hamez to Sterling worth it for next two?

    Can’t afford KDB

    1. Geordie19
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yup

    2. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Perhaps

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

    Martinez
    Semedo Robo Chillwell Mitchel Dunne
    Son Bruno Grealish Zaha* Burke
    Wilson DCL Jimi

    1 FT and 4.0 m itb

    Can't do Zaha to KDB as I am 0.3 short
    So How to get KDB here

    1. Vlekz
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Lose Jimi?

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

          but which striker should I go for to replace jimi?

          1. Party time
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Hat trick Bamford

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

                Him or Richarlison?

                1. Vlekz
                    3 years, 4 months ago

                    I got richalison only for 3 weeks on my wc. He will be a transfer out as you have DCL too. So probably just get Bamford and be done

          2. Snooze ya lose

          Torres brace this week dark horse I reckon 4-0 City no Pope it's written. Pressure tho to go with crowds with Jota t 🙁

            • 14 Years

            Go Torres then Jota?

          2. GreennRed
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            What's Torres done so far to make him so popular? 3 wins from 8, 13th in the league.

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

              3 goals in 3 games in the champions league. A hat-trick vs Germany for Spain. That's quite a lot.

              The fact he hasn't delivered yet on the league is a good thing for keeping him low profile.

              1. GreennRed
                • 12 Years
                3 years, 4 months ago

                I'll keep an eye on him. Ironically want to sell Foden.

        3. Runaway
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          A) Salah + Jesus

          B) KDB + Vardy

          C) Son + Vardy + 4

          *No other City, Pool, Lei or Spurs attacker

                Deffo not C, we are horrible! A or B. A a nicer set and forget but B is a great player

                • 3 Years
                3 years, 4 months ago

                1) Bamford (stats for SIB are just ridiculous and not showing any signs of let-up)
                2) Antonio (great pick but injury record is worrying, esp over congested xmas period)
                3) Wilson (Newcastle are totally uninspiring, and would consider Watkins and Adams before him)

              Keep hamez this week and get salah next or do hamez to jota this week?

                I have the same dilemma

                Jota does well at home but not away. Decision made!

            • Tinfoil Deathstar
              • 3 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Horrible, horrible decision to sacrifice Robbo this week, and also a bit worried about Hamez hauling with a good fixture. But that's left me with the following team which I'm pretty happy with for the weeks ahead, and £0.2m ITB to sort out Burke and Mitchell (likely staggered swaps for Nkounkou and Romeu):

              Martinez
              Dias - Chilwell - Ayling
              KDB (C) - Bruno (vc) - Salah - Son
              DCL - Bamford - Watkins

              Subs: Forster, Mitchell, Burke, Lamptey

              Now just to decide on who to captain! Leaning towards KDB given the news about Pope probably missing out. Thoughts?

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

                KDB is a safe shout for captain, nicely rested.

                PS: if you use two transfers to sort out Burke and Mitchell I will eat my shorts.

                1. Tinfoil Deathstar
                  • 3 Years
                  3 years, 4 months ago

                  Ha, I think my first XI are all good medium/long-term options so unless injury/suspension strikes then I am actually hoping to use FT's to sort that bench out. Might come in handy for any surprise benchings over xmas period.

                    I always think my starting XI are all good medium term options until the next gameweek 😀

            • Shark Team
              • 6 Years

              Jota in for Jrod
              or
              roll 2Fts for the next gw and reconsider the options?

                Play Peacock-Farrell for sh*ts and giggles. Probably will get a ton of save points

                DCL or Bruno - actually considered Bamford?

                Vardy at the moment, just because of fixture. Might still switch to KDB.

                    I think it's probably worth it, but I wouldn't be happy to be selling JRod with these next 2 fixtures

                      Struggling to find another way to raise the money. Kane >> Vardy isn’t enough. And jrod has been so poor for me last 4-5

                        Maybe Kane to Bamford then? Otherwise, yeah, there's not much you can do, and it's probably a good move by itself

                Jota, great form against a team that won’t park the bus. Scored a brace there last season (DCL and Bruno also in the mix)

                Your team looks decent for this week. 2FTs next week with 1.2M ITB will give you a lot of flexibility.

              Any of these worth it to get kdb? All - 4
              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

                Would not sell Grealish.

                I'm guessing you have Ziyech, would rather lose him.

              Would you do Semedo to Dias for a -4?

                Not for a hit no... never hit on a defender unless you haven’t got enough players playing imo

              A) Son and Waktins

                How much in the bank? Would Rodriguez and Adams out for a 4.5m mid leave you with enough for Vardy?

              Are Fulham really that bad or why do so many want Vardy as captain.

                They're not great at the back. Depends on captains poll for me.

              Cheeky assist for Smith Rowe too. Triple up with him, Balogun and who of Martinelli, Saka and Pepe for 2022/23 season?

              Best -4 move? Happy with Steer, Lamptey, Brewster & Mitchell bench going forward.

              A: Bowen -> Ziyech (0.3 left ITB and double CHE defense against Spurs)
              B: Bowen -> Maddison (1.6 left INB - still double CHE defense)
              C: Bowen to another mid (max 8.6)
              D: T. Silva -> Robertson (0.7 left ITB and Bowen still stuck in the team)
              E: T. Silva to another def

              Team right now: 2.3 ITB
              Martínez
              Chilwell - T. Silva - Cresswell
              KDB - Fernandes - Son - Grealish - Bowen

              B Son -> KDB
