Mane dropping tonight. Decision time.
Can't see a better option than Traore so going with him.

Don't fancy Son/Alli.
Mahrez - Pep Roulette
Martial - can't do it to myself
Grealish - maybe, but blanks in G28

I’ve gone mad, looking at Arsenal midfielders at the moment and also considering Almiron. Probably won’t do either, hopefully.
Who starts for Liverpool in place of Mané if he is still out v Southampton?

Could always get Mane back before GW28?

Most likely Origi. Could be Minamino but Klopp will manage his minutes well. Maybe even Lallana

I'd put my money on Bobby/Salah/Origi in the front 3.

I lose nothing if he drops tonight.
I'll wait it out.

I got him at 12 so current SP of 12.2.
Probably will drop again before he plays assuming he misses the Southampton game.
Think he has a decent record against his old team though

I’ll lose .1 but I have to wait now and think about it after villa put a real spanner in the works tonight

With Mané out, I would have to take a -4 to replace. Already have Salah & KDB and no one else jumps out.

Considering just benching, but it would mean playing one of Hayden (NOR), Rico (AVL), Kelly (SHU).

Options aren't inspiring, but it seems an absolute lottery to pick a MF that would get more than 6, which would be needed to justify the move. Any ideas?

Chesty08

Gonna bank. It’s long time between now & end of GW26 so could do with 2 FTs

Fingers crossed Sarr & Mahrez are fit

I'll be keeping an eye over the next few days, will probably wait anyway.

Got Harry Wilson in for Mane as a punt this week. Will also do Tammy to Aguero/Auba before the deadline for -4

I've Cantwell first sub and 1.5m in the bank.

Thinking if I upgrade him I'll have someone to cover Mane this week if he's injured (GW25), Tosun next week when he can't play (GW26), and Grealish in week of his blank (GW28).

Options are (with fixtures for the 3 weeks I need them):

• Sarr: Forum favorite but injury doubt. (EVE, bri, LIV)
• Perez: 3 double digit scores in past 5 weeks, but would be triple Leicester. (CHE, wol, nor)
• Traore: 3 double digit scores in past 8 weeks. (mun, LEI, tot)
• Cantwell: Already own him so no transfer needed (new, LIV, LEI)

If it's for a hit I'd probably just stick with Cantwell. I brought in Traore but I'm likely keeping him long term.
Would have gone Sarr myself if not for the injury doubt and the extra 0.4m or so which I badly need.

I did Soyunco to Egan early doors. Probably going to leave it at that and hold Mané if it looks like he'll be back for GW 26.

My squad looks terminally ill...made a few moves lately that haven't worked out and can't see an easy solution right now (want to hold onto wildcard for another few weeks if possible)

I'll throw my team up and see what he think.

Fwiw I think the Vardy (and Leicester) Party is over and want to get rid...I looked at Vardy & Cantwell out for Aubameyang & Dendoncker but don't think it's worth a hit.

Elsewhere, Lundstram, Sidibe and Rico not certain starters and Mane injured.

McCarthy | Button

Cathcart | Sidibe | Lundstram | Rico | TAA

Salah | Mane | KDB | Fleck | Cantwell

Ings | Jiminez | Vardy

Many of use have similar concerns. Taking a hit versus doing nothing and hoping for clarity with the extra info coming after the winter break.

The bolded players (and a SHU defender) are in most current WC teams.

There is some chatter about City/Ars GW28 game coming forward into GW25. It seems to be based on a quote from Pep and although unlikely imo, it would be announced tomo morning at the latest assuming City go through tonight.

Liverpool getting knocked out of FA Cup plus a few Wolves could negate the need to FH31.

I'm waiting on pressers. Will start Mane and take the Vardy value drop.

Fwiw I think Rico will start, so you should have three defenders

Cheers lads....I'm veering towards banking now I think.

Want to hold Mane, and the direct Vardy alternatives are underwhelming

I’m off the same mind now
I’ve gone from a probable wildcard to banking
Unless city somehow lose by more than 2 tonight .....

remoteboy

Full 90 minute run out for Kun has me doubting whether to bring him in. Might go with Auba.

normanoffside

Mane to Salah done

pimpmyhat

I need a playing keeper for gazziniga as Button is my spare any suggestions?
Funds not an issue

patmac

Mane/Vardy to Salah/Jimenez for -4.

Hello 2D Person Below

Need some serious tinkering in me team but the alternatives are meh. Gonna sit it out.

If you're looking to plan ahead, Foster/Pope/Patrício definitely won't blank in either 28 or 31.

Note for future 'shineon' when i look at this next week.

Banked a transfer this week rather than stinking up my team with WHU players i won't want after this GW.

2 FTs

Can do for free
Salah or Mane to Son.
To allow Vardy to Aguero

Or

Can do for - 4
Downgrade 2 defenders to fodder/rotaters
Would let me keep Salah and Mane
And move Vardy to Aguero

Now thinking about a -4 for
Mane-Vardy-Chilwell out for Son-Aguero-Gomez

Or bank the hit and hold off on the vardy-aguero move.

Sadly at 5.3 I think he is a little high.

Yeah, closer to 5 and I'd be tempted.
