    This one worth wildcarding? * Notes a player I'd ship on WC. So would make at least 7 changes

    Johnstone* Turner*
    Saliba Pau Schär* Udogie* James*
    Salah Son Gordon Palmer Mbeumo*
    Haaland Isak Mubama*

    1. PartyTime

      Yes. If you don’t wc now when tf do you wanna wc? Just do it this gw, you already have info on those who could likely get benched this weekend.

      1. PartyTime
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 1 day ago

        & if I had your team, I will!

        Been doing well this season without WC. Currently 24k overall. Was planning on holding WC until GW19 but now that Mbeumo is injured and there are players I'd like to get rid might as well press it now.

        1. PartyTime
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 1 day ago

          Your rank is really good. I probably should learn from you tbh as someone who is currently at 1m.

          If I had your team, I will press it now. I don’t see the difference between now & 19 except more players getting injured in that case maybe you shouldn’t but ideally I would wc to get Trippier, Saka in James, Turner, Schär, Mbeumo out if injured.

      I wouldn’t wc. You’re basically doing it to upgrade defence and bench. Keep it until 19….allows you to remove haaland in 18 whilst also removing those going to African/Asia cup

      1. aapoman
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 1 day ago

        Not sure it is worth saving just to be able to sell Haaland and then get him back since the rest of the team would be ok for 18. Would also lose value on him. If Mbeumo wasn't injured then I'd definitely hold but yesterday may have changed things too much for my liking.

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 1 day ago

          Fair enough. Mbeumo injury does reduce the appeal of 19 wc. Just looking at your team you can remove Mbeumo with a ft and the rest of the changes are in defence - I really don’t see many good options there! I actually quite like the 3 you’re taking out

    3. 500x

      I'd hold fire.

      I have wc too and think i'll hold till pre gw20, the last minute. AFcon interrupts from gw21 so if you can go without salah for the gw20 game at home vs NEWC then your WC team will be completely different with all that extra money available. I'm thinking of wc'ing in something like TAA + 8m/9m midfer, and then when salah returns I can go cheaper def + salah.

      I'm hoping to have no issues pre gw18 so I can do haaland to watkins (Plays SHU), losing no money on haaland as hasn't risen, and then reverse the following week.

      Imo James could still be gold gw17-19, bit like tsimi, could be a 1 pter or a 15pter but I'd fancy him to be eased back to being nailed.

      Ofc, Mbuemo I expect is an obvious problem, needs sorting.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 1 day ago

        I think gw20 makes sense for the wildcard too

        it also offers you the advantage of the second one around Easter or in Feb to get the returning players from Asia and Ivory Coast back in.

        Many will use their second wild card early I suspect.

  2. The Mighty Whites
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 1 day ago

    If I got rid of Mbeumo, Alvarez and Kabore for Gordon, Watkins and James (for example) I’d have the following team for GW18. Would you take any hits between now and GW18?

    Dubravka
    Gabriel - James
    Salah - Son - Saka - Palmer - Gordon
    Watkins
    And 2 of Tsimikas/Cash/Kilman/Archer

    1. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 1 day ago

      But alvarez plays luton 😆

      1. The Mighty Whites
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 1 day ago

        Not necessarily this week, if I just made these transfers between now and 18

    Is Raul Jimenez on a genuine resurgence or was it just a random event of him scoring points?

    1. aapoman
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 1 day ago

      The man had 1 goal before yesterday and now he still only on 3. I'd say it was a random fluke

      1. _Freddo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 1 day ago

        Hence the question, do his stats imply fluke or resurgence?

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 day ago

      Fulham have been looking better from an attacking POV for a few weeks, keeping a close eye on them

    3. donbagino
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 1 day ago

      For me he's a good option if you play 3-4-3, as you can free up some $ if you get him. I rate him like Solanke - a player who can score but not regularly and he's much cheaper.

    4. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 1 day ago

      Eye of the tiger, eye of the tiger! Did you see the way he muscled that defender out of the way for the goal? Hungry, hungry like the wolf! The Jimenez in Mexican mythology is a wolf-tiger hybrid known for pursuing prey into the back of the net!

      1. _Freddo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 1 day ago

        I just watched their highlights, his first goal screamed confidence, just finished it without thought.

        1. The Knights Template
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 1 day ago

          Exactly what you want to see, lethal.

          1. The Knights Template
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 1 day ago

            Ahead of the curve the place to be with those fixtures.

          2. _Freddo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            2 years, 1 day ago

            His stats are very similar to Solanke, think I’ve found my man to enable Trippier, Saka, Salah, Son, Haaland & Watkins.

            1. The Knights Template
              • 12 Years
              2 years, 1 day ago

              And t’will be great fun too ! We can laud it over the followers of false-god youtubers! I shall remember thee Freddo!

    KDB has been named in City's CWC 23-man squad. First game is December 19th. Manchester Evening News has said he won't take any part in the tournament but I haven't seen any particular source for that or any other outlet report that

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 1 day ago

      No thankeeeeeee!!

  5. -GK22-
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 1 day ago

    30pts with 5 only. Will this team finally climb above 3million!

    Currently 3.3m

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 1 day ago

      It will climb like Sherpa Tensing on a six pack of Red Bull!

  6. Warby84
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 1 day ago

    Will do Mbeumo/Van Dijk to Palmer/Trent.. Feel like Trent is a must have, starting to hit some serious form..

    Dubravka
    Romero Saliba Trent
    Palmer Salah Saka Son Hwang
    Haaland Darwin

    Areola Semenyo Branthwaite Guehi

    Would be a -4..

  7. Gandalf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 1 day ago

    Which to bring in for Mbuemo?

    A. Hwang
    B. Palmer

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years

      Williiiaaannnnnn!!!

  8. focaccia
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 1 day ago

    Would love some thoughts on what to do with this team? Have 2FTs and £0.6itb…

    Johnstone

    Trippier / Gabriel / Tsimikas

    Salah / Saka / Mbuemo / Diaz / Palmer

    Haaland / Alvarez

    Subs: Areola / Eduoard / Taylor / Guehi

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 1 day ago

      Mbeumo/Alvarez to Wliian/Jimenez

  9. Bobby Crush
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 1 day ago

    I know Salah could have scored last night, but damn, the eye test makes my eyes bleed. 13.0 too.

    Time to move him out soon? Afcon and all that.

    1. Gegenpress
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 day ago

      Wouldn’t move him out until he plays United! Could be a 7-0

      1. Bobby Crush
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 1 day ago

        You speak sense.

    2. HarveyKendallBall
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 day ago

      He’s been like that all season yet still gets hauls. Highest scoring player in the game

  10. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 1 day ago

    City's last nine in the PL, three wins, three draws and three losses. Last four three draws and one loss.

    Their defence is really, really suspect and the attacking football they are playing as well.

    Wheels coming off?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 1 day ago

      Yes, time for a sled.

  11. GE
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 1 day ago

    Wildcard this team or wait?
    *injured/not nailed

    (1FT, 0.1 itb)

    Johnstone (Turner*)
    Trippier/Porro/Tsimikas* (Taylor, Kabore)
    Salah/Son/Martinelli/Palmer/Mbeumo*
    Haaland/Isak (Osula*)

    1. aapoman
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 1 day ago

      Thinking about the WC as well. Would have held if Mbeumo wasn't injured but might now activate it

      1. GE
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 1 day ago

        Yup, could be a easy move to Gordon but then I block Dubravka (max 3 from each team). Then I’m tempted to choose Watkins instead of Isak and then Saka instead of Martinelli 😛

        1. aapoman
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 1 day ago

          If you were to WC would you still keep Trippier? If I wildcard for me it is difficult to include Trippier in the team without sacrifing one of the attackers.

          1. pilgrimchris
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 1 day ago

            Trippier is an attacker - only two forwards have a higher points score so far (and only 4 midfielders)

  12. Miniboss
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 1 day ago

    Mbeumo -> Gordon, or someone else? Will wait for confirmation of Mbeumo's injury of course.

    Kelleher Areola
    Trippier Lascelles Zinchenko Taylor Kabore
    Son Salah Saka Palmer Mbeumo*
    Haaland Watkins Archer

    0.2itb, 1ft

  13. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 1 day ago

    if waking up to 26 points wasnt bad enough, I have noticed mbeumo is flagged as well, do we think its serious? cheers

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 1 day ago

      Yes I do. Get rid of him. Mine medieval physiotherapist qualifications are not to be doubted!

    2. Tommy J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 1 day ago

      It looked quite bad, turned his ankle and walked off gingerly - can’t believe he will play in the short term at least.

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 1 day ago

      24 pts here 😛 and Mbeumo ofc, how many players left?

  14. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 1 day ago

    If you could only own one of these long term?

    A) Watkins (Sell Solanke)
    B) Trent (Sell Cash)
    C) Trippier (Sell Lascalles)

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 1 day ago

      i really like watkins but all great options. in view of who you are selling b or c make more sense though

      1. Karan_G14
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 1 day ago

        Yeah feels a little knee jerky selling Solanke when he has good fixtures. Plus defenders are falling apart.

    2. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 1 day ago

      C, don’t fall for the expensive TAA trap. Let others do that.

      1. Karan_G14
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 1 day ago

        Yeah its hard to justify the 1m extra over Trippier.

    3. PogChamp
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 1 day ago

      Tough. Maybe C because of fixtures

  15. Brunsvigeren
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 1 day ago

    I want to fit in TAA.
    Haaland, Tsimikas - > TAA, Jesus, 3.4 Itb
    Mbuemo, Tsimikas - > TAA, bench fodder

    Ranked 200k, Im I mad?

    Leno
    Udgoie, Tsimikas, Gabriel
    Salah, Saka, Gordon, Hee Chan
    Issak, Darwin, Haaland

    Areola, Mbuemo, Tarkowski, Cash

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 1 day ago

      Trent is definitely back on the menu 🙂

      1. PogChamp
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 1 day ago

        £8m though. Just brutal pricing.

  16. FOO FIGHTER

    2 years, 1 day ago

    Thoughts on when the players which are selected to play in the Afcon and Asia cup are joining their respective countries, after GW20?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 1 day ago

      If you could have 20 dolphins, three submarines or a UFO which would you go for? The three submarine option leaves room for a few dolphins too if that helps?

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 1 day ago

        😆

        20 dolphins with a house on the beach front

        1. The Knights Template
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 1 day ago

          No house but I could get some nice cars, and a few war-hounds!

      2. Hairy Potter

        A noble knight needs none if these things, unless they will attract the fine maidens.

        1. The Knights Template

          Mine dolphins bring all the damsels to the yard,
          There beaks are
          Nothing but hard!

      3. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
        • 10 Years

        I would need more details about the UFO

        1. The Knights Template
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 1 day ago

          Presumably it communicates with the dolphins, being the most intelligent life-form on the planet!

        2. Sheffield Wednesday
          • 5 Years

          If you had details then it would just be an FO

    2. HarveyKendallBall
      • 2 Years

      I believe so yes

  17. The Pep Revolution
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 1 day ago

    Im looking to get Son on this team:

    Areola Dubravka
    Tsimikas Cash Lascelles Udogie Kabore
    Salah Gordon Hee Chan Saka Mbeumo
    Haaland Watkins Nunez

    I'm thinking one way might be
    Mbeumo, Nunez and Cash to Son, Solanke and Maguire for an 8 point hit. What do you think?

  18. HarveyKendallBall
    • 2 Years

    Is there any incentive to finishing top of a Europa league group?
