    Salah Bruno KdB Soucek
    Vardy Ings Greenwood

    Martin Saint-Maximin Aurier Kiko

    On a -8.

    My main decision is to start Aurier or Boly. Think Wolves should get a clean sheet. Not so sure about Spurs.

    A real selection headache in defence this week, hoping I made the right calls!

    Rockstar has just tweeted that he will have West Ham news before the deadline. For anyone who was considering Antonio.

    Lindelof over Egan. He won't score every week.

    Im very nervous about this week too. There will be a lot of rotation . I dont necessarily mid if KDB or Foden are benched as they will likely come on and could get points. It would also mean they should start GW36. I would rather it was kdb benched this week tbh.....also worried about TAA and slightly worried about Salah. They are all getting a rest at some stage I just hope it is not all the same week.
    This of course is the week my bench is weakest. Have had double figures on the bench last few weeks and none of them subbed in.......

    I am considering moving Fernandez away to Watford to first sub ahead of DCL away to Wolves.
    What ye think?

    Would you not start Otamendi over Egan? if he doesn't start he surely won't sub on?

    Martinez
    Maguire, TAA, Doherty
    KDB, Mane(V), Pulisic, Bruno (C), Saka
    Greenwood, Vardy

    Bench:DCL, Aurier, Lascelles

    Bit of a punt on Saka but I just can't leave him benched third week in a row.

    Perfectly sensible move to start him over all 3 of your subs tbh

    Worried I may have made the wrong captain choice again. Gone with Jesus over Salah and fernandes

    Well you have 4 minutes to pick the one you want.

    I wouldn’t pick Jesus

    I’m on FH and he’s not in my team even

    But I could be wrong


  • Registered Users Posts: 15,103 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*


    Can't multi quote but did make the late swap of Egan & Lindelof.

    City seem to be rotating their CBs a lot and making subs in that area too so I wouldn't be confident of Otamendi starting or staying on the bench. I have a feeling Laporte & Garcia will start this game.

    Stuck with him. A bit off the pace in a few league so probably need something different as a long shot

    FH

    Fab
    VVD - Garcia - PVA
    Salah - Mane - Bruno - Antonio - Sterling (C)
    Vardy - Greenwood

    Rubbish - Lamptey - Thrash - Junk

    FH played.

    Need to make up 40 point gap so got to start somewhere and did a last minute (panic) FH. Only held 4 players from previous GW so decent overhaul for this GW and players I wanted to owe but couldn't got in.

    Schmeichel
    Gomez, Justin, Garcia
    Mane, Salah (c), Bruno (vc), Sterling, Foden
    Vardy, Greenwood

    Button, Cresswell, Kiko, Connolly

    A risk with City asset and Pep roulette but 2 subs who hopefully can cover if they get no action. A risk, I'll take.

    GL all!


  • Registered Users Posts: 45,535 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    No transfers (gulp).

    Martinez,
    TAA, Doherty, Femenia, Digne,
    Martial, KDB, Mane (c), Fernandes,
    Rashford, Jimenez.

    Button, DCL, Hayden, Ngakia.

    Kept faith with this lot despite plummeting 30k last week. We'll see how that works out...

    Took a -8. Happier with the team now.

    Bench boost

    Martinez Ramsdale
    TAA Justin Aurier Lascelles Cresswell
    Salah (c) KDB Fernandes Pulisic Martial
    Greenwood Jesus DCL.

    Playing in the final of one of those JD competitions for 200 euro and its about as strong as my bench is going to look before the 36/37 FA Cup madness kicks in, so on we proceed.

    Some nice differences, Fab, VVD, PVA and Antonio. Players I couldn't fit in myself and tried.

    And captain punt also!

    Teams had nice fixtures on paper so worth pilling in on them I felt.

    Garcia will start for city...... I think! :rolleyes:
