      Keep Grealish for sure
      You can consider Jota for Ziyech, or just save.

      Lamptey to Cancelo, bench KWP

  3. Bielsa Murderball
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Probability of cancelo starting?

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'd say it's high!

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Probably 75-85% just have someone first on the bench who will get you a 2 pointer at Least

      1. Pukki Blinders
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Some don’t have that luxury mate

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

      I think he starts one from the next 2 fixtures.

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

      He should, didn't start midweek

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

        Played 90 midweek

    5. Rolls-Royce
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Low because Pep would want someone who can hold the width vs Burnley which makes Mendy a better pick over Cancelo. Moreover, City will have to defend less so they wouldn't need much solidity at the back. Can easily see Mendy getting 60-70 mins before getting subbed off.

  4. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Think I’ll stick Mitchell first on the bench and hope he plays, seems impossible to catch the anguissa haul these days!

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Anguissa needs to start before he hauls

  5. 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

    Cancelo -> Robertson
    For security of starts?

    1. Help Me!
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Now that you have Cancelo already, removing him now wouldn't be a good idea

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

        I don't want to save a transfer

        1. Pieterke30
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Why not?

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

            Plan is to save a FT in GW 11, so that I can take a hit in GW 12.

        2. Help Me!
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Maybe upgrade Lascelles?

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

            Won't be able to afford Salah then in GW 12

    2. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Save FT

  6. Help Me!
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Post got ignored, sorry for repost

    Werner + Zaha > Watkins + KDB for -4? Yes or No?

    Have Salah, Son, Zaha, Grealish, Bissouma, Werner, Adams, Mitrovic

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

    3. Bielsa Murderball

      Ziyech to KDB?

      1. WE GO FOR IT
        • 8 Years

        Not keen on losing Ziyech

      D

    2. yanky

      B without a hit looks good

  10. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Hello all. Am I all set?

    Martinez
    Coufal Chilwell Kilman
    Grealish Son Bruno Salah(C)
    Bamford Kane DCL

    Steer Dallas Bissouma Lamptey

    1. TOLV TUMS
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Similar to mine but that shouldn't give you great comfort, given my current OR - maybe a more interesting Grealish option depending on funds

  11. Flair
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Now Sterling (C) is tempting me over Vardy, hmm.

    1. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I guess there will come one GW, somewhere down the line, when he will stop to disappoint.

    2. Vlekz
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Is he nailed to start?

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

          Yes.

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

      Pick 1 to sell

      Son
      Kane

      Any ideas would be welcomed

      1. Help Me!
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Kane

      2. Chandler Bing
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Kane imo Son cheaper and is basically the team's striker

      3. TOLV TUMS
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Are you forced to sell? What's the context?

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

        son, kane on pens and is having best season of his career

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

      is Fuchs nailed?

      1. Pieterke30
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Lol. No, he absolutely isnt.

      2. TOLV TUMS
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Um no

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

      Rodriguez price didn't dropped. I have plan to sell him for gw 11, so maybe I should take the risk today before his price fall...

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

        Before his haul?

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

          After the deadline unless I bring Jota earlier

    6. Chandler Bing
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Will we get more news on Castagne before deadline? Was really looking at him for Mitchell this week.

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

        Will Mitchell play?

        1. Chandler Bing
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Highly doubt it

      2. Vlekz
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I have him too, waiting for the pressers

      3. mdm

        Zaha to:

        A. Torres

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

        Which combo here....

        1) 4.3m def (Lewis or Nkounkou) + KDB or
        2) 4.4m def (Balbuena) + Sterling

        The defender will need to start this gw and will rotate with lamptey going forward

        1. TOLV TUMS
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Woof - 2, given that criteria

          1. UnitednationsXI
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years

        1. yanky
          • 14 Years

          not quite yet but hes on my radar

          1. GE

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years

          I just feel that he could well come in and "announce himself" again - seems like he usually does but I don't have data to back that up

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

          Had him for a week, uninspiring & also got injured.

        1) Kane and Bissouma -> KDB and Brewster (means 3-5-2)

        3) Kane, James and Robertson -> KDB, Vardy and Creswell (-4)

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

          2 for me - Salah tends to be Salah and 1 and 3 don't have much form to support either.

      8. Rolls-Royce
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Morning folks. Some huge dilemmas this week.

        If you could have only one at the moment, which would you go for?

        A) Vardy
        B) KdB
        C) Salah

        1. TOLV TUMS
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I'd probably go with Mo - Vardy looked TIRED at liverpool last weekend (why, who knows) and KdB looks exasperated for whatever reason. I'd guess City's form has something to do with it

        2. Karan14
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Salah

        3. Rolls-Royce
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Ta both. Currently looking at Vardy because I bought Jota last week.

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

        Son or Jota for the next 5-6?

        1. TOLV TUMS
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Son for me

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

          Both...but Son if you're getting Salah for GW 12

      10. Garlana
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Morning...the wheels are starting to fall off my team, Im seriously thinking about taking a -8 this week to fix it up for the coming weeks. Already had to remove Saiss.

          I do love a -8 myself, I must admit. What moves are you contemplating?

        2. Tambling5
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I've seen much worse teams... Lamptey back next week and him missing Liverpool game will enable Robbo to get forward more easily. You have to decide if you want double Spurs and double Chelsea with their more difficult fixtures coming up, but no need to take Hits this week as far as I can see.

      11. Jars458

        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Went Ziyech to Salah and Kane to Vardy. Choosing to keep Son over Ziyech and Vardy and Salah over KDB. Difficult choices.

        1. TOLV TUMS
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          If i'm reading it correctly you've just done Kane to Vardy - but holding Son, and somehow keeping Son over Vardy? That's difficult indeed, if I'm following correctly! Which I readily admit I may not be.

      12. thom830g

        Bench one:
        A) James (TOT H)
        B) Coufal (AVL H)

      13. Karan14

        3 years, 4 months ago

        People selling Ziyech and saying that he assists the assiter after one blank is hilarious!

        He just scored 25 points in 2 matches befoe that 😀

        1. TOLV TUMS
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          This.

        2. Rolls-Royce
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I think this was inevitable. If you watched both the matches Ziyech started, he never looked like someone who is going to get into the box often or take a lot of shots. He usually preferred to play long diagonal balls to Werner/Chilwell and take shots from outside the box. Most of his chances creation and hence the assists came from set-pieces.

          He is still a good option for his price in that Chelsea team but the will be spells where he will go without points whilst looking good and putting up numbers. I'd much rather prefer Werner for Chelsea atm.

            Werner is 1.5m more expensive though and takes up a forward spot where there are 6.5m striker performing very well and Kane/Vardy look more trustworthy shouts.

            I guess the people who got him for GW9 are the ones tempted to sell. If you got him a week or two before that you're laughing at all these assist the assister claims.

              If anyone got him before his two hauls then fair play, but as someone who likes to watch the matches before getting onto players, I thought there were better(and cheaper) options than Zeyich eg. Jota.

            If you're looking to participate in Chelsea attack I think this is spot-on. Better options than HZ.

            Ziyech does fancy a few shots from outside the box. Also if Havertz starts another man in the box to provide assists to.

          Ziyech passing diagonal into that Aurier space would be lovely to watch this GW

          Don't know how you did it this year. Every time I tried to follow value they went up 0.1 and then stuck! Did you gain much value playing your wild card?

        I’m a bit lost of ideas as what I should do with zaha and whether to take a -4 hit to help a good move. Can anyone suggest ?

          Well I'm keeping him but I've got Soucek not Bissouma as a sub this week. Have you any money itb? Not convinced a hit for Jota or Grealish, say, worth a hit when Zaha a good fixture next week.

        Would you sell ziyech/son for kdb?
        Risky words these but dont see son getting a lot against Chelsea and Arsenal, Ziyech has good fixtures after spurs

          As someone wrote somewhere recently, City apparently hadn't watched MOTD and deduced that Son is quite good at scoring goals and generally being a nuisance in the opponent's half. I can see him doing just fine against Chelsea (still potentially leaky) and Arsenal.

            I'm not saying he'll blank, but perhaps kdb/Salah would outscore him over the next 4?

              that's a tough one. Watching KdB last weekend, he just looked frustrated and miffed, generally. It's just eye-test stuff but a player's mental state has much to do with performance. Don't know anything beyond that.

                That's true, part of me wants to wait & watch how they do against Burnley & then maybe bring in for Fulham game, or I can get him from the Burnley fixture, coz GW12 is pencilled for Salah & a goalkeeper for guaita

        A) Bruno Jota Robertson Chilwell
        Or
        B) Salah Grealish James Cancelo

          Bruno Grealish Robbo Chilwell but I have no idea what your finances look like

          If you are that unsure I'd save the wildcard!? I prefer B but with Dias for Cancelo as I think more certain to play.
