    There is a serious FSA template front 8 (and midfield 5 in particular) in evidence lately.

    So many of the midfields posted here have Mahrez, Ozil/Sanchez, Payet, Firmino, Alli

    Most have Agüero, Lukaku and Kane/Ighalo too.

    Ye there sure is. It's why I was dissapointed with the kdb injury and the sanchez performance in the cup as I was set up to have kdb and sanchez this week .

    Hennessy
    Alder Bellerin Rangel
    Sanchez Ozil Ayew Payet
    Aguero(C) Lukaku Ighalo

    Subs: Elliot Mahrez Wolly Smith

    -4


  • Registered Users Posts: 851 ✭✭✭mectavba


    Lloris

    Sagna, Evans

    Alli, Yaya, Ozil, Mahrez, Payet

    Aguero (C), Lukaku, Kane

    Subs: Elliott, Delaney, Daniels, Targett

    That is with me playing the AOA chip....anyone want to talk me out of it??

    Am I benching the right defenders??

    That seems to happen a lot. When you have a great plan to be a bit different an injury ends up with everyone doing the same. I'd have been hoping Sanchez would have been more of a differential this week too.

    Pretty close to template here too.

    DDG
    Dier - Dawson - Souaré
    Mahrez - Payet - Ali - Sánchez
    Aguero (C) - Kane - Lukaku

    Henny - Ozil - Smith - Nyom

    Did KDB to Sanchez. Rolled over my 2nd transfer.

    Can't decide between Wijnaldum and Alli. Alli has had his big away game for the past month already, so I really wanna leave him out, because Everton basically don't know how to defend, so Wijnaldum could do well.

    But Alli has consistently burned me all season :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,390 ✭✭✭✭siblers


    No idea what 2 to bench between Dawson, Daniels, Delaney and Toby. Can see Norwich scoring at home and Bournemouth scoring so prob drop Delaney and Toby. Impossible trying to put logic with defenders this season, cleansheets are a bit of a lottery.


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,664 ✭✭✭✭dahat


    Bench either Firmino or Mahrez is my dilemma this Gameweek. Likely to be Firmino id say.

    Big hopes this week for Sanchez and Payet to give me good returns especially with a - 4 taken.

    Aguero (c) all day long for me.


  • Registered Users Posts: 33,709 ✭✭✭✭Cantona's Collars


    Hennessy

    Dawson...Bellerin...Dier

    Alli...Sanchez...Payet...Barkely

    Kane...Aguero (c)...Lukaku.

    Won't have any internet access later so no chance for last minute changes.

    Hennessy;
    Bellerin, Alder, Dawson;
    Firmino, Alli, Barkley, Payet;
    Lukaku, Kane, and Aguero (c).

    I have deliberately left out my subs as I don't want anyone to know that Sanchez is on the bench. (Please, please Southampton extend your three game clean sheet run)

    Stop being silly and play Sanchez !

    Sickness bug sweeping through the #NCFC camp. Won't know how much it will affect things until the team news is announced later this evening.

    @BenDinnery

    Dispense any thoughts of benching Alli.

    Ha, don't worry, I will bottle it before the deadline. I won't be able to handle the fear.


  • Registered Users Posts: 135 ✭✭DeKing


    Payet(C) anyone? Have Aguero but think Payet could potentially get more points


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,794 ✭✭✭LostArt


    Bench Ozil or Barkley? I'm torn!

    I think Ozil could come back to life tonight, he was rested at the weekend so should be fresh, plus with Sanchez on the team, it'll give him more outlets for potential assists.

    Oh interesting, I had benched Toby but will prob start him now.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,127 ✭✭✭NabyLadistheman


    This strong front 8 is a bleedin nightmare, I am done with it!!! Got burned badly the last time with Alli benched. It's between him & Mahrez this evening

    Hennessy

    - Reid - Toby - Bellerin

    Silva - Sanchez - Mahrez - Payet

    --- Aguero (C) - Lukaku - Kane

    Foster
    Azpi, Souare, Evans
    Alli, Sanchez, Silva, Payet (v), Mahrez
    Aguero (c), Lukaku
    Hennessey, Igalho, Wolly, Nyom

    -4

    Hesitant on benching Igalho but I've been burned too often by Alli, Payet and Mahrez.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,829 ✭✭✭shineon23


    Worth playing All Out Attack with this line up?:

    Hart (Hennessy)

    Dier. Collins (Simpson/Wolly/Bennett)

    Silva, Mahrez, Sanchez, Payet, Alli

    Kane, Aguero (C), Lukaku.


    Getting sick of the strong front 8 but doubt I'll sell Alli or Mahrez anytime soon. Unless to enable a striker upgrade .
    My defence isnt the best this week so its a toss up between: Wolly/Simpson or Alli if i play AOA.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,502 ✭✭✭spock.


    Yeah looks like a good time to use the AOA with that team.


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,304 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    Sanchez is almost guaranteed a haul now that the FSA has jumped aboard apart from me.

    Foolishly I'll keep Silva a while and hold my transfers to strengthen for the DGW conundrums.

    Congratulations in advance folks!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,096 ✭✭✭✭the groutch


    Silva could well outscore Sanchez though.

    Southampton's defence has been very solid of late, so it's unlikely to be the rout people are expecting. And bar a small run of 3 games. Sanchez has been very poor this season.
    City seem to have overcome the away game hoodoo, and with KDB injured Silva will get the No 10 slot, with more play going through him.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,747 ✭✭✭Ziegler1988


    Sanchez is >90% my transfer in before the deadline, but I'd be surprised to see him get a haul tonight. I think 2-0 Arsenal


  • Registered Users Posts: 478 ✭✭booooonzo


    silva or payet for KDB?


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,589 ✭✭✭✭Necronomicon


    On a WC, still contemplating one or two changes, but at the moment:

    Cech
    Dier Simpson Evans
    Payet Sanchez Silva Mahrez
    Lukaku Aguero Kane

    Hennessey, Daniels, Wolly, Wanyama


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,752 ✭✭✭Lights On


    Glad of the late deadline today because I have a feeling I'll change my team a few times before then! Right now I have

    Butland
    Toby, PVA, Cresswell
    Alli, Payet, Sanchez, Firmino
    Ighalo, Kun(c), Lukaku

    McCarthy, Mahrez, Smith, Ake

    Not 100% on PVA, he won't keep a clean sheet, but it's hard to bench him with his goal run that he's on!
