          It was Mount.

          Guess it could be KDB tonight even if he doesn't start against Watford on Saturday.

              He hadn't scored in 7 games and I even saw some predicted line ups where he was left out.
              Don't think it was a certainty that he'd score 2 goals

        If the title run goes down to the wire, City and Liverpool will not rest on the last day, so that's easy 6 players.

        Son and kane are going to play 100% vs noriwch and then by then Chelsea will have nothing to play for so I'm sure csn get 1 or 2 from that game....that's where I stand with it

    Some kind of subjective benchmark but…

    11 players currently have 150+ points for the season.
    7 of them are from Liverpool. 19 clean sheets certainly help. Cancelo, Son, Bowen, Kane the others

      Yeah, that's interesting and other than for Cancelo shows you why such a big squad as Manchester City is trickier to play into than the more concentrated talent at Liverpool, Spurs and West Ham.

    Schmeichel / Foster
    TAA, Robertson, Cancelo, Rüdiger / Cash
    Salah, KDB, Mount, Kulusevski / KDH
    Watkins, Pukki / Mateta

    Kane and Son the obvious absences, but I'd have to sacrifice KDB. Good to go?

          If no bb then imo your bench has too much value....streamline it have 1 decent bench option and go strong on 1st 11.

    This might shape my transfers this week + next.
    Villa host NOR in 35, then double in 36 but one of those games is Liverpool (bur away is the other). They also finish away to City in 38.
    Q is: Jump on 35 for BB36 or wait until FH37 then no need to worry for final game?

          Your team is absolutely fine....just dont see how wc next week will get you more advantage apart from finding out when city double. But we know that's 36 or 37.

          You can gear your wc team and then plan with ft to that period.

          This is just my opinion. I just think the Chelsea double has swung it for wc34

          I like all the players you've listed except Watkins.

    Folks who have Kane before WCing this GW, are you still sticking with Kane or moving to Son (assuming no BB left)?

    The reason of no reliable good FWD options other than Kane seems to stick out for me.

      I really wanted Kane for that very same reason, but I think Son's value is more appealing

        Yeah I'm not sure I would captain Kane for the remaining GWs which then leads to questioning the value of the player. Son is a great pick but there are a plethora of good alternative midfield options

    Roll FT?

    Schmeichel
    James, Rudiger, Cancelo, Trent
    Salah, Saka, Martinelli, Havertz (C), Barnes
    Kane

    Foster, Broja, White, Gelhart

    Likely looking at Saka downgrade to KDH or Ramsey in 35 to then upgrade Broja and Gelhart in 35/36 ahead of a BB.

    These template WC's that are going round, all look good but is the plan for these managers to then to go without Kane until the end of the season?
