Was just about to launch into a lecture about waiting til the Saturday games were over before activating until I saw who it was

Kdb in looking like a good idea.

keano_afc

Stones out probably. Can't see City keeping too many clean sheets with that clown in goal.

SlickRic

Sterling and Nolito may well need to be avoided due to Sané. Will hopefully hold the transfer though (getting Sterling out) so I can get Aguero back in easily.

DJIMI TRARORE

Slan go dti sean gcloch,city defence is poison

F1ngers

Bank.
Aguero in next week with 2 transfers.

CSF

Hopefully that yellow flag slows down the De Bruyne rise.

He was great today.

Best performance I have seen so far this season.

Seem to remember him doing better without aguero previously ,might be wrong though

IsMiseMyself

Possibily Benteke in for Gray.

Paully D

James Collins to go as he'll be dropped next week.

Grid.

Time to dump Sanchez??:p

Dont be at yourself

Lamela -> Antonio. Knee jerk but whatever.

I'll probably leave that a week and then get smith in
Nice fixtures and he served me very well last season till he got injured
Very attacking

manual_man

most likely gonna do a straight swap Lamela->Antonio. Antonio looks must-have and Lamela's place may be under threat now with Son and Eriksen doing the business today and Sissoko's recent arrival

dahat

I'd like to get Antonio and Benteke in, true bandwagon style but have Negredo & Mane/Mirallis to move on, likely Mirallis as i have Big Rom.

jive

Looking for opinions on this. Midfield: Barkley, Redmond and Lamela - most likely change here is Lamela.

Have Gray up front.

Money no object as I've like 7 million in the bank. Would you go Lamela to Antonio (Spurs have a better fixture) to bank rises or Gray to another forward (likely Iheanacho for a 1 week punt).

I'm wildcarding next week just to complicate matters.

Mint Sauce

I can afford to buy in DeBruyne, but then wont be able to afford to buy back Aguero.

Shedite27

Spaceship - Antonio

Wildcard the following week

dsmythy

At the moment transfer whoever might drop on me. Gray a huge candidate for that. Replace them with whoever has a good fixture next week. Will have my get Aguero back money to make it a good choice for that week. WC the week after for returning Aguero. At the moment...

How Soon Is Now

Have Mahrez Townsend Redmond and Gray thinking of dropping the lot.

Need to think of bringing Sergio back in then instead of Costa.

Payet or Antonio? Is Capoue worth it long term?

What about Cazorla?

Sooner or Later

Lamela to Antonio

Cypher_sounds

Son must be considered after that performance today, bearing in mind ill probably wildcard soon after Kun's return. Though Dembele is to return so not sure if he starts next game.
Think id prefer him at home to sunderland as a punt over Antonio at pulisball.

dahat

Negredo to Benteke done, correct transfer even though Antonio will be a big riser this week.

MarkSRFC21

Probably mahrez to KDB with a wildcard in the next week or two

COH

Lamela > Antonio done

WC the following week to get Aguerro back in

Not sure Son will be a regular starter

Ziegler1988

Most likely going to be a one week punt ahead of WC. A defensive move seems a bit boring although could do one of my 4.5m to Bavies if Rose is out. Negredo to Iheanacho looks nice

2nd Row Donkey

Was thinking it might be time to move Lamela too.

... then I came in here and seen that every man and his dog is doing the same.

So that can only mean I thing - gw5 thread full of these comments

" Lamela brace and two assist and I sold him last week"

"f**king Lamela, sold him for Antonio who scored an o.g., missed a penalty and got red carded in 59th minute"

Care to substantiate that statement?

Dont be at yourself

Man City will finish the season with 15+ clean sheets, so Stones is massive value @ 5.0. Especially given his license to get forward and the amount of goals City will score.

Remember, amongst the four games played, 3 were in front of their reserve keeper in a brand new team, and the other was away in the derby. Keep the faith.

It's pretty self explanatory to be fair. It's also an opinion not a statement so by definition does not require 'substantiation'.

Liverpool attacking coverage feels like a must but just too hard to know who will start each week and they are just so inconsistent.

Mane is probably most nailed on, but he's that little bit too expensive. Lallana is really interesting, if he can maintain his form he'll be serious value.

Going through the same dilemma. Trying to get rid of Redmond for a Pool attacker or an Arsenal attacker.

Both are made of inconsistent players and some are too expensive!!

What to do??

I'd pick Firmino. I sold him on WC, but strongly considered keeping him and will be getting him back in at some point.

He can play wide or as the central striker so less chance of rotation. He also isn't in the Brazil squad so no mad travelling every month.

Points will be split across the team so whoever you bring in you need to stick with them for a while. Everyone jumped on Coutinho after GW1 but he's done nothing since.

coutinho does this every year and sucks people in . 10 shots a game every game from crazy positions. one goes in and people can't wait to buy him again. never buy him.
mane is interesting me now

Anyone interested in Lallana? It would be an easy straight swap from Lamela.

Had him for a couple of gameweeks as his price was appealing but he didnt do much. As with all Liverpool mids you pick your man and stick. There looks to be plenty goals in that team this season.

Mr.Prodston

I wanted Mane 2 weeks ago but I forgot about him over the 2 international weeks. Trying to be sensible I went with Ozil.

I'd almost wildcard this week if it wasn't for Aguero being back the following week.

Antonio needs to be jumped on as I missed the first train.

Also a Man city player next weekend looks important and I've only got 1 transfer

Mané and Firmino are utterly nailed on.

GetWithIt

Aguero's return the week after makes this a "no transfer" week. Want to have options.

Gives the squad a chance to show what they've got. Any stragglers then will be cut loose.

i agree they should tighten up - (if??) when Kompany is back fit - which raises the question who of Otamendi and Stones partners him. I expect some rotation. Also i don't really agree with him getting forward providing much more value - usually he just surges to a little over halfway and then lays the ball off to a team-mate - so unless that team-mate scores a wonder solo goal there's no assist for Stones. I'm keeping a keen eye on forum favorite PVA, same price as Stones and we know how we likes to bomb forward - a goal already this season, and managed a very impressive 6 goals and 4 assists last season. Sunderland have a tonne of centre-half options, so they may play 3 of them on occasion (i think i read here that Moyes himself said so) which will give PVA even more license to bomb forward. GW6 he's more than likely coming in to my team.

Ziegler1988

Stones has scored one PL goal in his career, I believe. He's also unlikely to get bonus with Man City scoring multiple goals. I think Williams and PVA are better picks at the same price, and ManU fullbacks for 0.6m more

I disagree. At 5.0 in a team who will challenge for the title its a no brainer. City will dominate lesser teams and likely get around 15 clean sheets this year. Ok stones won't get many goals and but he will get some bonuses, he'll end up with about 150 points assuming he doesn't pick up an injury. Williams is a bargain too, PVA will break your heart because you will bench him when he gets a goal and Sunderland would be lucky to get 8 CSs all year.

I don't look at 5.0m plus defenders as season keepers really. Not priorities for FTs, but I do make a decent amount over the course of a season. If I WC next week as planned, I fancy PVA to outscore Stones over the short to medium term (5-10 GWs)

Chesty08

1 FT and looking at Redmond, Lamela and Negredo.

Redmond home to Swansea

Lamela home to Sunderland

Negredo away to Everton.

With two of those teams, il think il wait to see how that game pains out. However with my thinking that City attacking coverage + Aguero is near must-have I don't really have many options so could be a boring Negredo to Iheancho move.

With Aguero coming in the week after.
