I could be (and probably will be) completely wrong here but I’m not sure about De Bruyne. Everyone seems to be making changes the last few weeks to get him in but I’m not sure he’s worth it. Granted they have an appealing looking double fixture, but last night was my first time watching them properly this season. Now I can understand why he hasn’t been clocking up points like previous seasons - they’ve no threat up front! They are basically playing without a striker, Jesus came on and looked pathetic, Sterling - well that penalty was a disgrace and Aguero seems to be out for another bit again. They made Brighton look very good last night. I’d nearly be favouring 2 City defenders and no KDB.

KdB to be fair did have a number of shots saved, but yea lack of striker is a major problem - lack of tap-in's etc.

Salah/Bruno are probably the only two premium/high priced players who could easily score 2/3 goals a game - no other premium player and/or team really showing like scoring bucket loads.

Since spurs threw away the 3 goal lead against West Ham, Kane and Spurs have been more defensive minded imo, to the extent that Kane plays so deep - and rarely looks like scoring one, yet alone two goals in a game. Son is by far their most dangerous player - and he's priced at sub 10m.

On the KdB issue, city's next 4 GW's

Palace, Villa (DGW), West Brom, Sheffield United, Burnley.

What would you be expecting points wise from these games in total on the assumption he plays 90 mins in all 5 games, fair chance many would consider he a captain choice for all of them as well.

Captain KDB for me. 2 home games and he will defo be back on pens

Trey13

How many more conventional DGWs will there be? Usually one around GW33 and 35 is it?

Just trying to plan out when to use the chips. I have all available but currently have 8 DGW players along with 2 arsenal, 3 spurs who both have decent fixtures. I’m wondering is the bench boost worth using now.

It'll be a popular choice I'd say. I'm all for it, but him playing 90 mins last night and being "too tired" to take a penalty has me really doubting it now. I wonder will his minutes be managed. Jesus could slot in for him. Anyone else feel the same or am I overthinking it?

No question he'll start both games, but if City are 3 up on 65 minutes he could be subbed off.

He's rarely been subbed off in the league regardless of how the game has going

double gameweek, and 2 home fixtures and he will surely start both game. even a goal and an assist in 2 games with 2 clean sheets will be 42 points and that without any bonus.

True but he's actually complaining about being tired now!

Ginger n Lemon

Am I the only 1 going without KDB into this DGW? Or any City players altogether?

1 goal from open play and we are gw 19.. I love KDB dont get me wrong but I have a funny feeling that if he had 3 more shots vs Brighton he still wouldnt have scored.

He ll be up against Guaita and Martinez who are very good goalkeepers.

If he was that tired Pep would have taken him off, it was the 90th minute and he didn't want the peno. I wouldn't be reading too much into Pep's tired comments. he is mainly playing only league games and City need him on the pitch. Just my opinion

No defenders is a mistake since they've only conceded 2 goals in 9 games.

But I have Dallas, Robertson & Coufal. Cant possibly change any of them for a City defender.

But the issue I actually have with City defenders is that goal contributions is non existent, I think between Cancelo/Dias/Stones there is only 1 assist.

If I was to change any of the 3 of mine I'd go for Justin..

So I’m not sure whether to play the BB for next game week. Leeds postponement has scuppered plans. I still have 2nd wildcard so could activate that before the weekend. Any thoughts? Number of games in brackets

Martinez (2)
Justin (2)
Robertson ( 2)
Chilwell (2)
ESR ( 1)
Soucek ( 2)
Fernandez ( 2)
Salah (2)
Son (1)
Vardy 2
Bamford (1)

McCarthy ( 1)
Adams ( 1)
KWP ( 1)
Dallas ( 1)

Now thinking i might TC salah and save BB for another time? Help! Very good chance I’ll panic come saturday

I only have Cancelo, get him, DIas or Stones I'd say

COH

Im going without City players... aside from the roulette and the coulda/woulda/shoulda points performances from them Id have to take hits to get them in.

You could be burnt by city players

I'd say he is more likely to be burnt without Vardy, Salah and potentially even Antonio.

yea he is always a threat. its either him or de bruyne for treble captain, was going to use bench boost but not all my players playing so will be wasted.

last year when i used treble captain, i got 3 pts total for 2 games

think it was kane, played the first game and got booked, never played 2nd game at all

This is why I'm strongly considering going Bruno - KdB.
Also have no other way of getting him without hits.

Think Mane got injured rather than booked? If memory serves correct. Rival in my ML had him TC'ed that same dgw.

I got the same first year of triple captain. Lukaku in a dgw, didn't play one game and got booked in the second. 3 points for 2 games. I was expecting s real haul.

That's my big worry. Also having no City attack would be insanity so I think I've made my mind up.
