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.

      1. George James
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers. I want KDB but only way I can do that is Kane + Bruno >> Vardy + KDB

        Worth it?

    2. Old Gregg
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I finding it tough this week so giving advice is difficult.

      It’s also Difficult to recommend getting rid of Kane.

      How about son + Werner > Jota + Vardy.

      Or downgrade James to whatever it takes. Then Podence to Jota.
      You have a decent bench and can afford even a non playing really cheap defender.

      Just an idea

      1. George James
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Great advice. Thanks pal

  5. Big boy Bowen

    What’s with Jota rising so quickly?

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      choo choo the Jota train.

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

    So...

    Vardy + Jota

    or

    Bamford + Sterling

  7. damiang2233
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Is Jota worth getting in?

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      yes imo. but would not break team to fit him in.

    2. mrelpea
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Id say so. I brought him in on wc in gw8 with the plan of doubling up with Salah after Spurs played West Brom, but then Salah caught corona. Im quite happy with him as my Liverpool asset for now, as hell get regular minutes. And more importantly is scoring regulalrly

  8. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Need a Zaha replacement thinking either Mahrez or Teilemans?

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      neither really appeal. You could hope Mahrez finds some magic form dust.

  9. Hybrid Theory
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Is it worth -8 for:

    Kane, Podence & Jimenez to Vardy, KDB & Bamford?

    Have exact funds

    1. George James
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah

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

      yes love it..

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

      100%

  10. Dirty Harry
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Worth keeping Mane (have Salah also) for their games against bha WOL ful or look at Bruno IN for Mane OUT.

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

      Liverpool have great fixtures coming but mane/Salah double up seems a bit much, especially with Bruno firing and city’s fixtures. Do you already have KDB?

      1. Dirty Harry
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        No KDB.

        In a sticky situation, no KDB, no Bruno, no Spurs

  11. George James
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Ok let’s try it this way.

    Best option moving forward

    A) Werner + James + 4 points

    B) Kane + Soucek

    1. George James
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I also own Chilwell if that matters

    2. Cojones of Destiny
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A

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

    Lol theres no way Winks tried to scrore.

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

      Aye he admitted it though!

    2. Cojones of Destiny
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      yeah looked like a looong pass to smbd

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

    What change would u make to this squad with 1FT?

    Martinez
    Coufal Chilwell Robo
    KDB Bruno Jota Barkley*
    Watkins DCL Werner

    Ryan Mitchell Anguissa Dunne

    3.9mil ITB and was thinking Dunne > Cancelo and play 4 at the back this weekend?

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

      I would upgrade one of the bench players.

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

    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

    0.6 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 0.6 on a free transfer to upgrade bench with a free transfer.

    Thoughts please? Thank you

    In all the content (written and audio) I've never heard Walker (6.1) mentioned as a pick. Given we all have accepted Cancelo is a rotation risk and I personally prefer Walker (who is nailed w rest midweek) over Dias/Laporte.

    Thoughts?

    1. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      It's very expensive for someone with as little attacking threat as he provides.

      1. Camino Aleatorio
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Agree - plus Cancelo is just Pep risk this week. With Walker you are guaranteed one week probably and he may not play next week

        Frustrating- and now you lost the more dynamic Cancelo unless you double on City defenders

        Seems a Trap

  16. Mane Mane Mane
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    A) Jota for Zaha (-4)
    B) Jota for Zaha, KDB for Son (-8)
    C) Fernandes for Zaha
    D) leave it, but means I will have to play Dallas/Mitchell if Zaha doesn’t make it?

  17. Bobby's Teeth
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Does Cancelo look like a good bet for the next five fixtures? My concern is about his minutes.

    1. Cojones of Destiny
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      dias is the answer

  18. Cojones of Destiny
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    appreciate opinions:

    Kane + Zieych to Bamford + KDB for a hit Y/N

    thx and GB

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

      yes

      I'm doing a similar move

  19. afs2239
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Tough one
    But bench one of them
    A) Ziyech
    B) Adams
    C) Grealish
