Probably 50-50. Walker is due a rest so I think Zinchenko will get at least 1 game so I'd expect Zinchenko and Cancelo to start for one match. He never seems to play Zinchenko in back to back games though so I think the only danger is a Laporte/Ake/Mendy appearance at left back for the other one with Walker at right back.

Maybe slightly better than 50-50 as I could see him starting Walker against United to mark Rashford so that would probably mean Cancelo starts at RB against Southampton.

Assuming rodri and fernandinho play a game each City have 9 players for the remaining 5 attacking slots.
Kdb, foden, B silva , gundogan, mahrez, sterling, torres, jesus and aguero. If they all start one game that means only 1 player will start 2 games. I think there is a chance aguero doesnt start either game meaning 2 of the above 9 will start 2 games.

For the Utd game I think it could be this
Gundogan BSilva
Sterling Kdb Foden

Id expect Mahrez, jesus and Torres to then start the southampton game. I think gundogan has a reasonable chance of starting both as he rested midweek whereas KDB and B Silva didnt so Im going to give him the armband.

I'm thinking Aguero gets a start in the Southampton game.

Yea I think you nailed it there. That's the 5 I think will start vs United.

Trying to find Gundo's name in the poll.

Absolutely brilliant :D:D

For a second I thought gundog got a broken leg or something hence not in d list.

Gundogan for me, not so much for UTD game but for Saints instead. He got a good rest there v Wolves so would expect his involvement in both games. Dias VC

Currently have it on Gündoğan. He still looks to be getting into the box as much as possible whenever he’s on the pitch, even after the return of KDB, so still think he can get some attacking returns.

Chickened out of Cancelo and went with Kane, still not happy with it, can't bring myself to captain sterling as I don't own KDB or Gundog.

With you, I don't see Gundo getting the minutes anyway. Kdb is a better option but I don't have him.

I thought about captaining Cancelo last week, but I was glad I didn’t in the end. He’s always tempting to captain, but with Pep’s rotation, he’s not as nailed on as anyone else. He’s actually been a big disappointment to own, as he’s as an attacking of fullback as you’re ever likely to see, so the attacking returns he’s come up with have been very disappointing considering. There’s been games where he’s been very unlucky not to score/get more assists though, granted.

Dias will only play one game I suspect...

You've 10 minutes to convince me to drop him from the captaincy...

Surely a huge chance he doesn’t play v Southampton though especially if city beat united.

Had it on Cancelo. Changed it at 11:00 to Sterling, not sure if it saved. Both were the wrong call either way!

eggy81

Ended up in Dias are free bouncing it around all morning. Still think it should have been Kane but those damned double fixtures

For the first time in about 9 years of playing FPL, I'm strongly considering a Defender. Dias.

Seems(?) to be a nailed on starter and I'd back a couple of clean sheets for City.

That went exactly as expected.

Dias for me as well, typical.
