    Said I'd be more aggressively on transfers this season and this is the first manifestation of that. I've a feeling for Mee with a goal and clean sheet at the weekend. I just don't like Southampton any more.

    Wildcard still unused.


    I'm with you. I really have lost all interest in Southhampton. I still have Cedric for the moment but yeah I'd totally go Yoshie to Mee.

    Wanna get on the Kun train..

    So have this proposed move..

    Ali and Chicarito Out
    GroB and Kun in
    Hit of 4

    Would leave mid a bit light and quite top heavy with Kane, Lukaku and Kun
    Just feel that Kane has more to give and don't want to drop him just yet...

    If Pep does a pep and rests Kun this weekend this place will go into its biggest meltdown ever.

    It's a huge possibility, not worth the risk imo

    Me too, but it's crazy pep I worry about, he has form for dropping him


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,191 ✭✭✭✭Shanotheslayer


    Think you guys are worrying too much about Pep dropping Aguero.

    Rested this week

    Played

    GW1: 82mins 9pt
    GW2: 90mins 2pt
    GW3: 24mins 1pt
    GW4: 90mins 9pt
    GW5: 90mins 20pt

    I'm not sure but between GW2 and GW3 was it a CL game?

    Exactly. And whats more is, Jesus played 90 mins.

    Maybe Jesus gets rested, if not they both start and Jesus is likely to be subbed off around the 60 mins mark as Pep has been doing with both of them on a rotational basis all season

    Yup I agree.

    I think people looking into it too much. The only way Aguero is coming off is if City have steamrolled Crystal Palace by the 60th -70th minute and by that stage it's already likely Aguero has himself 7 hat tricks and 4 assists.

    It's all good lads, don't be worrying


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 859 ✭✭✭mectavba


    I do think there is too much stressing over whether Jesus/Aguero will be rested/subbed. Bar injury, they are going to play 90% of City's games, even when they don't play full games there every chance of them scoring and they will both end up being in the top 5 strikers come the end of the season (bar injury). 

    So you might get one "f*** you Pep" week in a while, but it's not that much different pointswise to a "f*** you HArry" week, when he blanks v Swansea at home.

    The main difference is that you don't get the "enjoyment" of watching your captain falling about, praying one goes in off his arse.

    People get far too tied up about players being ‘rested’. Sure, they need breaks but footballers also need to play games.

    Aguero was left out mid week, so will almost certainly start tomorrow, as Pep won’t want him going 10 days without a game. Jesus is less certain to start, but footballers don’t break in two because they play in 3 games in a row. He only played an hour against Watford anyway so my bet is he starts.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,550 ✭✭✭Shedite27


    Spent this entire season so far chasing points, gonna sit on my transfer this week and go Kun-less.

    Have the cash for Jesus - Kun or Jones - Otamendi but the way this season has gone, I know whoever I drop will grab a brace.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 145 ✭✭GeordieRebel


    Feel like this is going to bite me in the behind but have an extra transfer and happy enough with the rest of my team, so going Lukaku to Aguero and will go back again next week.

    0.1m short to do KDB --> Dilva and Firmino --> Aguerooooooo :mad:

    Will be watching the risers/fallers closely tonight but likely to miss out with Firmino dropping I would think.

    Barring a miracle, I'll be Kun-less for another while....will either bank or upgrade Long to Jones

    Well Firmino held but Heaton fell so still in the same position - will say another prayer to the FPL Price Gods tonight before doing anything.

    Now thinking Lukaku to Aguerooo and no hit


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,842 ✭✭✭dr.kenneth noisewater


    Lukaku or Kane to Aguero? Really cant decide, have Mhki and Alli already for attacking coverage


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 674 ✭✭✭carnie


    After much deliberating and reading plenty of for/against arguments on FSS I think I'm going Kane to Aguero this week.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 648 ✭✭✭SeanHarty


    I Manged to get Aguero into my team this week, had a little in the bank and swapped luiz for jones and firminho for aguero, so you know what that means... bobby is gonna score a hatrick!

    team for this week is:

    Pickford
    Tripper - Jones - Ward - Mendy
    Matic - KDB - Atsu
    Lukaku - Kane - Aguero (C)

    Bench:
    Elliot - Mbemba - Docoure - chaloba

    Bench Boost played as well....

    Yeah I did Eriksen/Firmino to Dilva/Kun, I'm doing the anytime scorer double on the first 2.

    Newcastle and Watford players? Waiting until later in the season when your team is more valuable and you've a stronger bench would be my advice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,711 ✭✭✭Dubh Geannain


    I'll let you know :(

    At the moment. Squad value 99.1
    In the bank 1.3

    Now 99.2
    In the bank 1.3


    New players that I'll be losing next week
    Aguero, up 0.2
    Ritchie up 0.1
    Silva up 0.1
    Total A: 0.4

    Players that I though I'd chucked out
    Willian down 0.1
    Redmond down 0.1
    Total B: -0.2

    Players I kept
    Chicarito down 0.1
    Total C: -0.1

    My squad should be up 0.3 (if I played the wildcard right) but is only up 0.1.

    I assume since A + B + C = 0.1

    If I'm to guess my squad value will be down by 0.4 after the weekend when A in the equation above becomes 0 as my loanees depart.

    I actually didn't believe this team was under 100m, so I went and tested it myself.

    Ended up with 0.7m in the bank :o:o:o

    Interesting......

    Midfield is super weak thou!
