    Guys, my team is a complete mess this week and I really need some help.

    Sa Ramsdale

    Robertson Cancelo Laporte Rudiger Cash

    KDB Kulveski Saka Barnes Ramsey

    Richarlison Kane Nekiteh

    Already on a -12 and no money in the bank. BB activated. Would you keep this team as it is or sell Ramsey for Gordon?

      Both of those moves could easily backfire. You should be safe with a 75 point lead, but if you really want City coverage, I would just bring in Mahrez.

    This is doing my nut in, what are you taking:

    A. Coutinho Kane > KDB Richy (451)
    B. Coutinho Broja > Brownhill Richy (442)

    Thoughts:
    1. Big cash league im behind 4 points, I have a good team set up for rest of season but he has KdB.
    2. KDB looked shattered/carrying something v Madrid (why would Pep bring his best player off on 72mins)
    3. Looking ahead 37 game v WH is Mark Nobles last home game. Atmosphere will be rocking (thinking last game at Upton Park type). So may be a difficult game for City.

          I know right, its killing me this decision. If my rival didnt have KDB I think id stick with Kane. Gut says stay Kane, tactical (ironically) says go KDB as I’ll still keep Son.
