If he benched Howard, he'll come back in once Harper has no minutes.

Howard is suspended as he was sent off.

This Christmas period has been brutal.

happens every year its next to impossible to play 2 games in 48 hours at that level.

Gabbidon will come in for me, Suarez now captain. I had seven players that could have played today. So far two start! Sold one at a 4 point hit (McGregor) as he was 'highly unlikely' to play, two got injured, two got rested. You have to laugh!

Swiper the fox

Yaya will surely stay on the bench unless City are chasing the result(what's the odds?), I'd expect Negredo to play 15 minutes. Januzaj actually was the most disappointing of all for me, it's carnage though

At least you're laughing about it? What are you ranked?

Lemlin

FFS Cup opponent has Rooney (c) and Yaya (vc). Hopefully that will help me recover my 4 point hit.

I was expecting Jan to play. He'll sure come on to run around and get me a mighty total of a point.

Kinda glad I bottled it and put captaincy on Suarez. Had it on Neg with YaYa as vice. Yikes.

No Vlaar so Ollsson (Norwich) comes in for Rooney which with may not be so bad as Utd could fail to score today without Rooney.

At least i have 11 playing with no hits taken but my VC on Walcott instead of Silva could come back to bite me badly.

Eddie Ere

Is cautiously optimistic about this gameweek now. Just ya ya not playing at the minute. PRAYING for a dzeko massacre as literally no one in my leagues has him.

pleasant Co.

My main rival captained negredo with Rooney as vc, got a chance to take top spot again after constantly matching him for the last few weeks

jamesbere

I'm happy now I kept faith in McGregor.

roryc

McGregor playing is so frustrating. Where was Savage on that one!

Lemlin

The City line up:

Manchester City: Hart, Boyata, Kompany, Nastasic, Clichy, Garcia, Fernandinho, Navas, Silva, Milner, Dzeko

Subs: Pantilimon, Lescott, Kolarov, Yaya Toure, Rodwell, Negredo.

I can see Fernandinho, Silva and Navas coming off as they all played on Thursday. Rodwell and Kolarov will be 2 of the 3 to come on I reckon.

IsMiseMyself

YaYa, Neg, and Jan (first sub) are out for me. Expecting both Neg and Jan to make an appearance. McAuley in for YaYa. Could be worse I suppose?

Wow ! This is gonna be a killer GW with all these rested/benched/fakely injured players and all the transfers/hits people have taken.

One thing I dare to say to reassure you all. A starting line-up does not necessarily provide you points. Ramsey proved it many times this season by getting big points in 15-20 min while Ozil was providing a 2 pointer over 90min. Early subbing can also kill you a lot more than late entrance, especially in a tough game where players got only 2-3 days to rest.

Ah... if there's a god, McGregor will get injured for 6 months, United will lose badly, and City will struggle with Silva shining and Yaya and Negredo scoring from the bench.

this is true while delighted to be on dzeko captain there is nothing to say the game is 0 0 and negredo replaces dzeko on 60 mins and comes on to score the winner

Pellegrini just gave an interview saying that playing after 44 hours is not natural and is putting players in danger.

Yeah but Nasri can't be tired. Not only he got subbed in "earlY" in his last games but he's certainly the most "economical" player on the pitch ever. He would not risk a little bit of sweating for anything in the world. What? Too obvious that I don't like him ? Maybe... But as a French you just can't like him.

Not overly surprised but the absolute lack of info and transparency from the managers could be annoying even though I'd agree with you that they couldn't care less about our little fantasy game .

Any ideas who's likely to fair better between these two, folks??

my team

cech
terry--clark--coleman--lovren(if he plays, if not down to 10!)
whittingham--cabaye--lallana--nolan
suarez--berahino

Rival team

Mignolet
coleman--zabaleta--shaw--clark
shelvey--barkely--hazard
suarez--negredo(assuming he gets a run, if not delph will be in)

cheers lads

Well with Nolan and Berahino you already have a huge advantage !

roryc

Really hope City bottle this now.

1-0 Danny Gabbidon.

bohsman

Negredo and Adnan my only non starters, captained Silva so fairly happy looking at some of my rivals. Cabaye and Shaw to come in for them if they don't get a run out but I'd expect both will come on.

Lemlin

I need a boring 0-0 from the evening kick off with Mannone and Ben Turner now playing.

He only had a knock so if it didn't affect his jumping or diving there was good chance he would play. The injury he has is probably affecting his running, for a gk that not a huge importance.

dahat

Pellegrini quite likely to haul Silva off at HT if City are well in front, he has done it before with Aguero.

This GW has brought carnage and fear amongst us!!!!

The pressure on Lukaku tomorrow will be immense, bet he fails to deliver agiain!

finnharpsboy

18 before any bps so far for nolan and bearahino

Danger781

Negredo my only non-starter means Evans comes in :pac:

Which also means I only have one sub in the form of Ward and I expect him to get 0 or less..

That is some start given what has happened with the line ups. BP'S?

Who else have you playing?
