GW 20 Transfers

Ginger n Lemon

Gundogan thing is akin to Soucek. :pac:

Klonker

Would you start Robertson away to Spurs or Watkins away To Burnley?

Currently have Watkins picked. Plan to sell Robertson soon as not worth 7m+ going on current form.

terminator74

KDB out > Gundogen in
Vardy out > Kane in (-4)

GW 20 line up:
Martinez
Cancelo; Dias; Robertson; Coufal
Gundogen; Soucek; Fernades; Lookman
Antonio; Kane

Burnley don't concede a lot and I fancy Spurs to score.

Robertson has no attacking points in 5 games and Watkins has 2 returns in 10 games.

Tough one - personally I'd go Robertson but not much in it at all.

Fitz*

I keep rotating between Soucek Saka, Lacazette & Watkins . I have to bench one.

Soucek has scored every 3rd game the last few months so after his double blank when he was highly played, I'm hoping to catch something here. Trying to sell him though. It looks like with Antonio back, that his open play threat will be reduced.

Watkins has a long history of blanks, some unlucky, but scoring last week might have kicked him back into form.

That leaves 1 from Saka & Lacazette to start and 1 to bench. Saka has the better form so currently going with him to start and benching Lacazette.

Are there any press conferences today?

POKERKING

Cancelo wont replace KDB, pep will replace him with bernardo. Midfield three of rodri, gundo and bernardo.

Bernardo is at his best without KDB in that position, not necessarily FF best but best for city. 18/19 he was abs incredible and citys poty. There isnt really any other option in the squad at the moment.

Cancelo will likely play left back and act as an inverted midfielder tonight now that walker is back in training. If walker isnt fit cancelo will do same role from right back with zincheko tucking in.

Gundogan on pens and advanced midfielder is a tough one to ignore but i feel foden has a higher ceiling should he get the deserved gametime.

City arent firing on all cylinders in attack and there are lots of options in the team to hoover up those precious attacking points its why im avoiding a sterling and going likely foden. Im making that based on being a city fan who hasnt missed a min of them this season.

I went Gundogan as he has penos and is more assured of starts. Do you not think Pep could still bench Foden and play Mahrez, Jesus and Sterling some weeks?

Dubh Geannain

Anyone looking at the stats on Foden. In the last game his "Threat" was 105 and "Creativity" was 74. Would have got a large ICT score if he'd managed to actually get the couple of assists he deserved.

KDBs highest threat score this year was 89, and 82 for creativity. Not occurring in the same game.
GunDog - 84 and 58. Again not occurring in the same game.


Disclaimer - I'm a Foden fan and need him to play tonight and agree with POKERKING. Foden's ceiling is higher... if he plays. I can see the appeal with GunDog now on penos though.

What's the story with rashford. Is he fit?

Yep:

They usually sum up the injury news too if you're not following

Heads up the deadline is 16:30 today
(I still have 5pm in my head for a 6pm kickoff rather than the 90 min thing)

MrSkinny

Soucek out for Gundogan, leaving myself a bit of a benching headache:

Bruno, Salah, Grealish, Son, Gundogan
Kane, Antonio, Bamford

I'd be surprised myself if he started and got any minutes unless really desperate. More precautionary with Arsenal at the weekend.

Is Gundogan necessary for your team?

You've a solid 7 players there w/o Gundogan and Soucek 1st sub.

IMO, I'd bank or upgrade your defence.

Many are getting Gundogan in for KDB but you've no injuries/suspensions in your front 7/8 to worry about.

Grealish, Antonio or Gundogan. Id probably go Grealish given how well Burnley have defended lately, I don't think he'll get much joy out of them.

ThewhiteJesus

cavani and soucek out fabio silva and hamez in , silva to be a bench player

extra gravy

Brewster to Kane worth a -4 or will I just play Coufal instead... Coufal probably the most sensible choice.

Benimar

Bit of advice lads. I have Bamford, Adams and Wood as my 'attack' (:rolleyes:) and would need to play 2 of them this week.

Having sold KDB for Gundogan I have a healthy bank balance so lloking to turn Wood and Adams into Antonio and Kane over the next 2 GWs. If I bring either in today its for a hit, so which one would you priorities? (barring injuries I'll do the other for free next week)

I hear you. In all honesty it's a kneejerk reaction after bringing in Soucek for the DGW instead of Gundogan and missing out on a good few points.

No major fires in defence either:

Martinez (Button)
Cancelo, Chilwell, Coufal, Bednarek, Lowton

I was looking at Stones for Bednarek/Coufal (also a week too late!) but I'm .1 short.

You could maybe look at double City defence to get some of the City points but looks like Chilwell is your only player available to swap out for Dias, Stones, etc.

Chelsea's Wolves, Burnley, Spurs v Man City's WBA, Sheffield United and Burnley.

Then factor in rotation risks and Chilwell's attacking potential not sure you'd be any better off. Chasing points never a good thing, I'd bank personally.

Hey mate, Yeah its a fair argument. Even when gundogan was playing awful pep rarely dropped him so im 99percent sure hes one of the first three names on the team sheet so with pens too its a safe bet. His stats for shots in the box are pretty impressive. I dont know if his returns are sustainable though but hes an abs steal. The problem is foden is a steal too at his price, there is abs no need to rest him and the rest are in awful form at the minute bt that hasnt stopped pep before.

Gundogan is probably the sensible option, foden the riskier with the highest potential.

Yea I agree Foden looks great when he plays but I was burnt by him early this season. I will probably wild card in the next couple of weeks so I'll see how he gets on.

Not sure what to do...have looked at a few moves and boiled it down to 2 options:

KDB to Sterling

or

KDB to Gundog and Brewster to Bamford for a hit.

I'm not keen on Sterking at all tbh. Have owned him a few times over the years and it's never gone well tbh

Actually went with a radical third option instead... KDB and Anguissa out for Gundog and Maddison.

My hits have generally been successful this season so hopefully the trend continues

Happy4all

Needed to ship vardy. Resisted Antonio because I already have 2 west ham. Might regret this.

Torn between JWP to Foden
Or
Robbo to Cancelo

I'd do Foden then albeit its risky. But tbh maybe save a transfer?

Who is to say that Chilwell for example wont explode this GW and go on bigger things at weekend? Or other Chelsea assets.

Need to stay ahead of the game :pac:

siblers

Rashford is declared match fit btw

Scorpion Sting

KDB and KWP to Gundogan and Cancelo for -4.

I initially thought Gundo would be a trap and he may still be but then I looked at some of his underlying stats and they're literally the best on the City team. Him being on penalties too means I just couldn't say no to that.

CornettoQueen

Want to get rid of Soucek for either Foden or Gundo.
Very unsure which one too go for.

bmorrissey

Pogba or Son?

Considering i already have Kane and Bruno

Yeah, I've decided to go with him for KDB aswell this week. Don't think I will use the money I save this week though. But plenty to play with next week.

Cheers, I'm going to go with my gut and stick with Watkins. I've only 10 minutes now to change my mind :pac:

Did KDB/Kilman to Gundogan/Cancelo for a hit, hope it pays off.

I did not see that coming! Expected a tight game tonight. 45 mins in and foden over gundogen looking a bad mistake. Come on phil do something!

He should have had a goal in fairness, I was annoyed as I had a 10er on him for first goal but was a great save.

Took possibly my worst points hit ever. Knew it was ill advised but had Vardy out as well as KDB so rather than paly Saka I took a bit for Bamford against Newcastle.

Just the 16 points lost.......

Might cheer up the Soucek sellers.

I played my wildcard, got rid of Soucek, swaped Gungdoden out for Foden and I had Cancelo captained for the DGW :(

I also took a hit for Bamford, a hit that relegated Soucek to the bench. It's up there with the worst of them! A rage benching after his DGW.

Made slightly bearable that no rivals had Soucek playing and 2 captained.... Bamford.
