The first question is one of the reasons I held off
Aguero our will be the sensible move all things considered
But for me with Sanchez I could possibly have all 3 and I may well go that way
I’ll see how Wilson goes tomorrow first but it’s under serious consideration

extra gravy

Time to cash in on Otamend. VVD in.

shineon23

Ill be spending the next fortnight courting every goalkeeper in the league that isn't Jordan Pickford.

siblers

Be looking to bring in Arnie. Although I'm happy with Shaqiri and Mikhi so not sure

gammygils

Is Walcott worth having at all?

Maybe Arnie in

caviardreams

Thinking of giving Wally one more chance before switching for Arnie as he plays Liverpool away next so can't see him being explosive.

Otamendi is more of a priority I think - half thinking of a punt on Shaw or Chilwell or...?

ShaneU

Stones 100% out, don't know who's coming in yet.

Bleating Lamb

Why are people selling Otamendi?....is it the tough fixtures City have coming up?

Yes two tough fixtures,city conceeding in 5 out of last 6 games and could be rotated

The beauty of bringing Sanchez in on WC is I can upgrade Wilson to kane with my 2 FT
Sanchez to any mid of 5.7 down
I'll wait till after cup games but if bournemouth have a game in 31 and I sell Wilson then I'll probably get ibe
Would also have exact amount to upgrade Andy king to JWP but that's probably an extra transfer I don't need
VVd for Jones also on agenda soon

You don’t get 2 FT after a wildcard.

I didn’t wildcard this week
I banked my transfer
Wildcarded last week

Do i really need to get Aguero bk in now? He destroyed me yesterday but I'm not sure on getting him with CL back in play.

I actually thought myself the time had passed when I missed his first hat trick
If Kane had better fixtures when I wildcarded I wouldn’t have had aguero
Just get him
It’s easy to downgrade

the whole year inn

I think you need to have him in until Jesus is back training.My guessing is that he plays the CL match this week and then he will get a half for the FA cup and then will get the whole game against Arsenal and he could do serious damage there.

manual_man

Mounie train incoming

Lingard to Shak, no brainer

machiavellianme

Sanchez to anyone. Possibly kdb.

danganabu

So whos getting Dubravka in? Fixtures not great but looked very impressive today.

km79

Sanchez Wilson out
Kane and budget mid in
Also maybe jones to Vvd
All depends on cup fixtures

Do I really need Kane?
Hard to get rid of Firmino or Aguero on current form....Alonso to a 4.1m defender gives me enough to do Ayew to Kane but then I'd still have Lingard

I'd say you do. Then again, I've had him all season

I was waiting for Bobby or Kun to have a bad game to make the decision easier but it hasn't happened!
Liverpool have a guaranteed GW 31 fixture too.

If Alonso is dropped tomorrow I might just go budget defense and have the bog 3 up front like yourself

Pogbout Walcout Wilson out

Hmmm Wild Card?

Although I’d keep 5 attacker’s I still think I’ll WC because most of them are not differentials anyway

Salah Kane Aguero Sterling

I'd be tempted to drop Pogba if I had him because of the erratic game time but wouldn't be thinking a hit for the other two never mind wildcard pondering. They've both a decent fixture next week?

Ace2007

I haven't been paying any attention to the cup games and possible blanks, So looking to see what is my best transfer for next GW. I have 1 FT and 4.2m in the bank.

Adrian, Elliot
Rudiger, Dunk, Simpson, Francis, Yoshida
Sterling, Salah, Walcott, McArthur, Lingard
Aguero, Kane, Wilson

Those in bold need to go, though I think some are more of a priority than others, ala Lingard and Yoshida. Is it after this weekend that we have a better idea of blanks and DGW's?

I'm thinking possibly KdB, Firmino, or Arnie/Shaq

I really don't think Wilson needs to go. He is 6 million. He has a ppg of 4.4 niasse and gross are the only two attacking players with a higher ppg than him. He is going to be inconsistent as he doesn't play for a top 6 team . Best attacking option for his price IMO. I'd only sell if going top heavy in strike force.

1st up.

Against my better judgement I'll be wining and dining Karius for Valentine's Day.

eh i dunno

If you were to pick any player to triple captain next gw who would it be? Thinking Salah myself

Experiment over. Mane to Salah is the easiest decision I’ll make all season.

Want to get VVD in too and would love to sell Daniels. No fcuking idea why I brought him in 3 weeks ago. The prospect of him playing in 28 swayed me I think.

dsmythy

Might finally lose Ederson for the GWs until a likely WC in GW32. One who plays in GW31 preferably so waiting for cup games.

Maxed out on Liverpool so strangely I'm drawn towards Pickford....

Don't do it to yourself!!!

Rikand

2 weeks ago I went for Sanchez and Wilson instead of Aguero and Milijvojevic

Is it too late to correct that mistake ?

sanket

Lookin at VVD for pool's next two fixtures against otamendi and feels like the right decision. Would loose a good amount of team value. Pool also have a guaranteed gw31 i guess. If i sell otamendi now ill get 6 and could easily get him back for 6.3/4 by gw32.would give me funds to upgrade walcott/Mkhi

I won't be getting Otamendi back in after I sell. City are leaking a goal a game as it is so how many are they likely to concede when rotation kicks in and they have the league pretty much sown up already. VVD is the better short and long term pick now I think.

I wouldn't be planning on getting Otamendi back if you sell him. They could have the league won by the end of March and focus could be totally on the CL at that stage.

I'm very likely going to make this move, but as has been pointed out, buying him back is probably not wise. I love Otamendi, he's been an absolute trooper for me, got him at 5.5 early on and he's been brilliant, but there's a strong argument to let him go now.

The first one, as you point out, is that he's an enabler for VVD who has great fixtures now leading into BGW 31. City will almost certainly blank in GW31 and the fixtures leading up to that will likely not produce a lot of cleanies.

Then after this point you're hitting a point of the season where City essentially have the league won, but have big fixtures in the CL and FA Cup. Otamendi has barely had a rest all season due to Stones / Kompany injuries and Pep not trusting Mangala. You now have Laporte signed and more options in CB. Pep has not had the luxury to rotate here, but he will post-GW 30 or so now that he has the options to do so and the league is decided.

Otamendi has been superb, his ability on the ball to make passes between the lines is central to City's dominant possession play and I believe Pep views him as his number 1 defender. I therefore think that you will see him used in the big CL games, and in the lesser PL games other options may be used.

So for those reasons it's with a heavy heart that I almost certainly bid adieu to the Otter for the season this week. He's done a superb job but there seems very little reason to keep him at this point.

loadwire

Pretty sure I'll also drop Otamendi this GW, mainly to free up funds for Wilson-> Firmino. I have just enough for:
Ota->Dummett
Son->Arnie
Wilson->Firmino

Would give me a front 3 of Kane/Kun/Firmino. I haven't checked this statistically but it feels like the top clubs were keeping a LOT more clean sheets in the first half of the season. For the rest of the season I think i'll be going for cheaper options in defence and trying to get as many big hitters in midfield and attack. Rotation is a worry obviously but as long as everyone's playing I won't mind if Ibe or Milo or whoever sub in.

Think I have something in my eye. I never owned Otamendi but he seems like he was a really nice fella to own

Porthallian

What's the thoughts on Mahrez? Will he regain that form?

Need a MF under 8.7m as a Firmino makeweight

dahat

How is Ben Davies fixed at Spurs? Is he likely to be rotated with fixtures starting to pile up again?
