Honestly, I don't understand why people are selling Foden. The fixtures are really good for City.

That still leaves 80% of the team to play with but in future gameweeks if you want to have fun just go without them. No one is forcing you to own them.

Saka is a differential in your ML?

Plenty of ways to play it rotation pairs Eze/Diaby
MGW/Tarkowski etc. Or even Awoniyi he is 0.6% owned and faces Sheff Utd next. Played 20 minutes v Arsenal and should start next gameweek.
You just have to think of the alternatives.

Why don't you spice it up and go without Rashford & Haaland then? Wouldn't want you to be bored

Anyone else saying Bobb in a Blackadder voice?

No Bernardo Silva.

Will see of he'll be back before compulsory Chilwell and Reece James injuries?

🙁

Annoying. Thought he looked fantastic in the Community Shield.

Apparently he was never/rarely injured before joining Arse. First match in.

It's true but that was a heel off a counter by Forrest. They wanted it more than Arsenal on that rush.

Tomiyasu just comes in for Timber at LB if Arteta wants to persist with that setup

Arsenal 0.79 xG vs Forest 1.25 xG says it all about that experiment. Arteta is so desperate to be seen as a master tinkerer like Pep, it's going to cost him in bigger games.

I expect Gabriel to play next game, but I don't think the Timber injury has any bearing on that - I believe he was just dropped to have an extra player coming into midfield in Partey.

Can't imagine they'd set up that way away to palace, so I guess we'll probably see White moving to RB and Gabriel coming in as LCB. If we're talking about the LB spot, Zinchenko, Kiwior and Tomi are all ahead of him.

It was pretty certain he'd start next gameweek anyway, but the timber injury ensures it

"Bobb"

I had this issue before gw1 and it was very annoying. Was locked out for a few hours.

Try it on an incognito browser window. Once in, reset your password and set up 2FA.

Can you not get him in with 2FTs and downgrade a spot for funds in GW3

I think if you wanted Chilwell before Luton then starting with him was the play. If you think you've seen the error in your ways then a -4 isn't going to kill you to rectify it :).

Considering it, likely to be a 1.5m swing with Gab potentially falling and Chil rising

No one. Roll FT unless he is required to start for you. The defense you have will get you through this week.

Next week I'd move for James.

Definitely Gabriel - fight the system!

Henry when you have a FT spare.

Give Timber the axe gw3 - you are well covered with your three defenders - barring injury.

Unless you're that guy's secret leaker, you're talking out of ignorance.

Agreed he will start, but will Arsenal clean (probably not), will the new Marcus Alonso haul (probably)

See how the next 2 or 3 go, but I'm very open to benching him a few times and keeping as long as he's firing. If he looks like it's too much for him, Botman or Schar are waiting.

Newcastle, Bournemouth, Villa and Liverpool are hardly impenetrable. Could easily pick up attacking returns.

His stats from the weekend were mind-blowing for a 5 mil defender. Won't be better value at that price all season.

I am getting rid of Estupinan for James gw3 if I can afford it. If I can't I will get Colwill. Which will open up a future Trippier move.

He's not likely to drop if he keeps playing his natural game.

He was decent last season too.

I was looking at this earlier. No rush to sell. Happy to bench occasionally but happy to pick him against good teams too because he was so far forward on Saturday

ok thanks all, maybe keeping him is a good idea

He may be gone for me as early as GW3. Pervis is a great fantasy asset but I want the Chilwell + James double up.

I played him against Arsenal last season and I think he got 17pts. He's playing in such an offensive position that he's basically fixtureproof.

I originally planned on shipping Estu to maybe Botman in a few GWs. He's looked better than I thought he would.

In terms of the Newcastle fixture, his runs into the inside forward channel could cause us problems. For all the positives about Tonali on Saturday, he didn't pick up the same defensive positions that Longstaff does and drifted in field, which may expose Trippier a bit more.

He has 3 weeks left for me to monitor. If his attacking potential is still extremely high he's a super easy hold. If not, and Brighton look defensively suspect, then sell for James seems reasonable.

GW 4 he's gone - Happy to buy him back once their fixtures turn good.

Football is really in the mud.

wissa tbh

I am not sure Foden will start so Wissa.

Yea, I think I agree with you both, just seems bad benching Foden.

https://twitter.com/City_Xtra/status/1691081810610880513

will play Foden if Silva is still injured

I suspect United will score too many goals for the defence to get a baps look-in.

Dont rule out Botman. They are going to close out a lot of teams this season again with their attacking play starving opponents of action in the Newcastle first third.

Henry

Yeah I've had this a couple times recently, if scrolling quickly it freezes completely

Just me then 😆

He's one of interest. The conventional view is he's an FPL-unfriendly DM, but I do agree that with Caicedo coming in, Enzo will play further up and will have assists in his locker.

My only problem is that he takes up a Chelsea spot and I might at some point prioritize Chilwell, Jackson, Colwill and James before Enzo.

Good for Chelsea buy not good for FPL, too many good attacking midfielders to choose

No interest. It's Chilwell, James and Jackson (unless they sign a new CF)

Or one of your United assets to break a leg tonight

Waiting to see what Shaw does

Trippier doesnt have himself!

Where's Salah? He was telling us how he perma-caps himself, always owns Alisson, and couldn't decide between Trent and Robbo for his third 'Pool. Must rank really low!

hahaha. None of these losers got even close to signing up on launch date. What are they doing with their lives honestly?

Good for others that Sir Awoniyi is not playing FPL or else he'd have won the entire game by GW1.

Steele had Kane and Jesus in his team; and himself on the bench.

Another shower of mediocrity. Have none of them ever heard of the F5 button?

a fair few players in this league...

Didnt show vs Chelsea but I still think Jota is the best non Salah pick

Hes a hold

Hold

go chilwell

hard to say, there's websites that track price changes, like fplstatistics

https://fplstatistics.co.uk

I have no clue about xg either lol, its cool fpl added xg data into fpl though.

Can prolly Google it. As far as I know, behind the whizzy mathematics, it's still dudes with protractors.

Richy

Probably Rich

Rich, unless we get any info on Foden.

pedro

Either Richarlison or Jackson.

Welcome to the too many good options club 😉

Gtg

Watch the ManU v Wolves game and see how Wolves are doing, defensively. Pedro for Jackson or Foden may be better.

Whoever it is will punish you horribly... Unless you decide to go with no real bench.... At which point you'll have guys pepped, injured, sick....lol. in having the same debate... Deciding between Wissa and Pedro...

Bench Foden and start Pedro

I'd say he is until they sign another attacking midfielder. I picked him hoping he'd be the new dele alli with nkunku out, but I know they're linked with olise now and probably a few others

Don't think so. Might get a few starts short-term but the pivot will be Enzo/Caicedo, so he'd be competing with Gallagher among others for the 10

Who will play in KDB's position?

Foden was very good on the RW against Newcastle at the Etihad last season.

As expected - lively, attacking as a FB in a #8 role, in a defence that won't keep a clean sheet.
