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.

          Where's Vardy?

          1. Stupendous
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Not in my team clearly

            Kane over Vardy here

              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years

              Team is fine given the omissions.

  5. wulfrunian
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    And now all the doubts are gone.Vardy(c) it is.

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Never had any.

  6. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Best Man City DF to have out of

    Dias
    Cancelo

    Any ideas would be welcomed

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

      Either one of those two

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

      Neither.

    3. Dosh
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      There's s good chance that Cancelo will be rested in one of the next 2 easy games

    4. jb1985
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I have gone Dias over Canceling due to more certainty of starts.

  7. CarelessGenius©
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Grealish or Jota?

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

      Grealish.

    2. Il Capitano
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Still Grealish for me

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

    Worth keeping Son and Hamez ?

    Could get KDB/Salah in place of Son
    or
    Sterling in place of Hamez

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

      Would much rather have KDB or Salah than Sterling

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

      Hamez not needed

  9. Lucky Z
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Guys, whom to start?

    A. Reguilon vs Chelsea away
    B. Targett vs West Ham away

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

      B

  10. spamking
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    A. Mane > KDb (-4)
    B. Mane > Salah (-4)

    1. ZAWAd25
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Why get rid of Mane for a hit?

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A or just save.

    3. BOATIES FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Save

  11. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Please help. I’m stuck on

    A) Cresswell to Dias/Cancelo for free
    B) Cresswell and Werner to 4.7 & Vardy(c) -4
    C) Kane and Cresswell to Dias/Cancelo & Vardy(c) -4
    D) Chillwell and Werner to Cancelo/Dias and Vardy(c) -4

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

      If you don’t get Vardy, who will you captain?

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Fernandes likely or else DCL/Kane

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

          The issue is I think all of your sell options have a decent chance of getting points this week. I’d be tempted to do nothing

          1. FPL Blow-In
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Thank you

  12. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Have two frees and want Vardy.
    So
    A
    Kane to Vardy and save other.
    B.
    Wilson and Son to Vardy and Jota.
    Other mids are Bruno Sterling and Grealish.
    Would really like some advice lads.

    1. Big Hands Barry
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      B

    2. BOATIES FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I like B but its very close

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

      I'd sell Sterling before Kane or Son.

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        One very last chance and then to Kevin.

    4. Dosh
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      If I had to choose one between Kane and Son, I would keep Son.

  13. BOATIES FC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Martinez
    Robbo Chilly Bellerin
    Salah (c) Bruno Grealish Jota
    Kane DCL Wilson

    Steer Ayling Reed Dunne

    GTG? any moves would be for a hit

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      GTG

  14. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Help! I'm stuck with Zaha and Barkley 1 ft and just rubbish on the bench. 4.3 itb so no issues there. Could do:

    A. Grealish + another mid-price (ziyech?)
    B. KDB + budget (under 6.0)

    Any other good options? What would you do?

  15. Bring the Cavalry
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    When pereira comes back, will Justin move to CB or the bench?

    1. BOATIES FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Bench, Soyuncu will be back soonish

      1. Bring the Cavalry
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Sounds like he is still a wee bit away, no timeframe been mentioned

    2. Traction Engine Foot
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Bench I'd imagine

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

      Good question. Castagne also to return.

    4. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Who has Thomas been playing ahead of for Leicester?

  16. Traction Engine Foot
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    What should I do here? Got 6m itb because I intended to sell Jota for Salah but I've kind of gone off that now... Thinking Ziyech to Salah/KDB, or just save.

    McCarthy
    Chilwell, Cancelo, PVA
    Ziyech, Jota, Bruno, Grealish
    Watkins, Vardy, DCL

    Martin, Soucek, Cresswell, Kilman

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

      I’d save

      1. Keep Calm and Play On
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Agreed save this week

    2. Traction Engine Foot
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Thanks, when in doubt doing nothing usually seems the best bet

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

    Martinez | Fodder
    Cancelo Justin Lascelles
    KdB Bruno Ziyech Grealish
    Vardy Richarlison Watkins
    | Soucek Lamptey Taylor

    1 FT, 2.1 ITB

    GW 10 : Cancelo -> Robertson
    GW 12 : Ziyech, Grealish, Richarlison -> Salah, 5.5, Wilson

    Makes sense?

    1. Neves say Neves
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Why would you sell cancelo? Great fixtures coming up

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

        Isn't he likely to be rotated/rested with the easy fixtures coming up?

        Wanted a more nailed player.

    2. Keep Calm and Play On
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Looks good but I would even considering holding this week

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

        Then I'll have let a FT go to waste in GW 11.

        1. Keep Calm and Play On
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I’m sure you would find something to change, always better to have it abs not need it than need it and not have it

          1. Keep Calm and Play On
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Plus you’d probably want to lose Justin soon anyway so that’s a transfer

    3. BOATIES FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Keep Cancelo

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

        He surely starts then?

        1. BOATIES FC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          obvs not guaranteed, it is Pep for starters.

  18. Keep Calm and Play On
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Jiminez and Zaha to Vardy(c) and Jota is a no brainer right? Even for -4

    1. Neves say Neves
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'd say so. Great moves

    2. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I would.

    3. BOATIES FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      looks good

    4. Il Capitano
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Like it

    5. Werner Bremen
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      If Zaha doesn't play, then yes

    6. Keep Calm and Play On
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Cheers all, should have just gone with my gut last night but oh well

    7. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Wish my moves were that easy.

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

      Yeah those moves look like no brainers to me.

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

      JWP for Jota, long term

      1. Keep Calm and Play On
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I think that’s the move later tbh, I like the looks of JWP

    10. noahzark22
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Maybe Barnes instead of Jota?

  19. King Kun Ta
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Bottomed before...

    Martinez Martin
    Chilwell Robbo Justin Ayling Mitchell
    Ziyech Son Bruno Grealish Bissouma
    Kane DCL Bamford

    1 FT and 3.1 itb

    A Kane -> Vardy
    B Son -> KDB
    C Son -> Salah
    D take a hit and get out Son & Kane

    Ta lads!

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Wouldn't lose both spurs.

      1. King Kun Ta
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Kane -> Vardy?

        1. DA Minnion (Former great)
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I've a similar dilemma. And don't have an answer yet!

          1. King Kun Ta
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Did Kane to Vardy!

    2. Keep Calm and Play On
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      If I had to pick it’s C but I’m in no rush to lose the spurs players

  20. RashFraud
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Zaha to:
    A. Sterling
    B. KdB
    C. Bruno
    D. Salah (have Jota)

    Cheers!

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      B by a distance.

    2. Traction Engine Foot
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      C

    3. Keep Calm and Play On
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Probably B or C I’m leaning C just because I want to see city with aguero back

  21. ZAWAd25
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts on this WC team?

    Martinez
    Chilwell Dias Coufal
    Salah KDB Grealish Jota
    Vardy DCL Bamford

    (Forster KWP Bissouma Kilman)

    1. Neves say Neves
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Decent. Template. I prefer Masuaku to Coufal though

      1. ZAWAd25
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers!

  22. GE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Have 2FT

    1) James and Kane -> KDB and Abraham/Richarlison
    2) Kane and Bissouma -> Salah and Brewster (play 3-5-2 with DCL and Bamford up top)
    3) Kane and Bissouma -> KDB and Brewster (play 3-5-2 with DCL and Bamford)

    1. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      3

    2. Neves say Neves
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      2

  23. Sanguinista
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Which move would you make for a -4

    A. Zaha + Son --> Jota + Sterling
    B. Zaha + Son --> JWP + Salah
    C. Just Zaha out for free?

    Already have KDB.

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      C, wouldn't sell Son for a hit

    2. Il Capitano
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      C

    3. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Don't like B for certain. C edges it over A I think

    4. Neves say Neves
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      C. Did Son to KDB -4 last week. Big regrets

    5. Keep Calm and Play On
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Zaha to Jota and done

  24. BucketHead
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Semedo to Dias for a hit worth it??

    1. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Don't think so. Don't like hits for defenders usially

    2. BOATIES FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No

    3. Il Capitano
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No

  25. Stormbringer22
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Kane + Hames > Vardy + Bruno (-4)?

    Or just one of those transfers for free?

    1. BOATIES FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Kane to vardy for free

    2. Neves say Neves
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'm guessing you can't afford Hames -> Bruno?

      1. Stormbringer22
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I can

        1. Neves say Neves
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I'd do that then, Kane loves a London derby so I wouldn't take him out

          1. Stormbringer22
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Cheers. What I was leaning towards, but all of this Vardy love (justified love of course) on here is getting to me.

  26. Neves say Neves
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    McCarthy
    Chilwell Reguilon Cresswell
    KDB Bruno Ziyech Grealish Soucek
    Kane DCL
    Nyland Brewster Justin Ferguson

    1FT 1.8 ITB

    A) Reguilon --> Robbo/Dias/Bellerin/Zouma/???
    B) Soucek --> Jota
    C) Kane --> Vardy(c)
    D) Other
    E) Save
    Thanks!

    1. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      C or B. Think I like C more

  27. PapaWengzz
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Which move would you do to fund Son > KDB:
    A) Hames > Jota
    B) Kane > Vardy

    Thanks

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'd probably just do B and keep Son

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

        Thanks. You mean hold Son long term? Or just for this game?

        1. Traction Engine Foot
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Long term

  28. CasaBanter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Why might it be gameweeks 18 and 19 that are the blanks / double gameweeks?
