    I think Jesus might be dropped as well.

    Him and Aguero don't work in the same team. Dropping Kun is the way to go though Pep.

    Last chance saloon for City players and Kane before a possible wildcard next week.

    Good man Pep, you know it makes sense.

    Aguero won't be happy, could be looking for a transfer.

    Surely that finally puts it to bed as to who Pep prefers from Kun and Jesus.

    Yup.

    Jesus was anonymous the last day, whereas Aguero was actually very good.

    It seems Jesus starts every game regardless.

    Jesus was taken off at half time on Monday and Aguero played 90, I'd say it's just Agueros turn to sit out for a bit rather than a preference from Pep.

    -4

    Foster
    Jones Bertrand Lowe
    KDB (c) Alli Pogba Carroll
    Jesus Lukaku Firmino

    Elliot - Suttner Brady K. Long

    Going with De Bruyne as captain as Bournemouth have been giving up lots of chances and City should be the dominant team today. Good luck all.

    Back to a back 4 better for City attacking prospects imo. Bernardo on the right, Sterling the left i imagine, then just depends who of Silva/KDB is more forward centrally - though I'd guess they'll both pick up the ball from deep at times, as well as getting forward. So probably much of a much

    For all those cursing Pep, City and Aguero, just remember there were 2 occasions this happened last season.

    Once, at Bournemouth, Jesus got injured after 10 minutes and Kun came on to get an assist (or 2).

    And the second time, City struggled at Burnley and Kun came on to score.

    Had Aguero captained, had the 'Make Captain' button ready on Lukaku and pressed it as soon as I saw the team - don't know if it committed tho as it was 1130 on the dot - nervy half hour coming up. :)

    I swore I would not get angry at this game, but I transferred in Aguero for Jesus for - 4,fcuk Pep and fcuk City, time to put on my mindfulness app.

    That's so frustrating. If pep could get Sanchez I reckon he would consider selling aguero which is crazy as I still think aguero is the best player in the league.

    Daniels and Smith are wingbacks today.
    Could be interesting if Howe continues with that.

    I think you should wait by the phone, Pep is making a list and will get back to everyone before the end of the the day.

    Now about rotation. I persist that chances are we'll see more and more of it in the future as long as the PL money continue to flow like crazy.
    We see more and more bigger squads in terms of quality players. So not only they have to be played sometimes but it'll make the league more and more competitive. In addition, the big teams have an increasingly tough challenge when it comes to European competition when you see the current level of Real, Bayern, Juve, Borussia, Barça and the ambitions of PSG.

    Finally, the PL has become the league of the managers (Klopp, Guardiola, Mourinho, Conte, Pochettino, Koeman... Wenger's still there) and they all wish to prove their value on several competitions (Klopp reached the EL final 2 years ago, Mourinho won it last year ; Wenger despite all the criticisms won 3 FA Cup in the last 4 years ; Conté won the league in his first season managing the Blues). So I've no doubt they'll manage their squad accordingly and thus use rotation. We've already seen Klopp & Guardiola. Wenger & Mourinho to a lesser extent. Conté talked about it recently.

    We're gonna have to adapt.

    Aguero owners (I am one of you). Maybe I'm full of wishful thinking but Aguero outscoring Jesus with a late cameo would not be a crazy unseen thing in FPL ;).

    I have Jesus, no Aguero and even I would love this.

    Gone for
    Fabianski
    Alonso Keane Luiz
    Fabregas Salah Mkhitaryan Iwobi
    Quaner Kane Lukaku (c)


    Luckily this week I transferred in Lukaku for Aguero so that anger I would have had over Aguero being benched has now turned to delight :D
