Sterling again for me as long as there are no indications he'll be rested.

Same, if there was no chance of rotation I wouldn't think twice, considered Mo but left it on Sterling in the end

Cartman78 · 12-09-2019 10:41am

Has to be Sterling.

Salah Vice - Newcastle likely to be more resistant than Norwich I reckon

PARlance · 12-09-2019 10:43am

Lots of articles out there detailing Sterling's relative lack of rotation risk under Pep. But... Pep.

After going Aguero last week, it's on Sterling this week.

loadwire · 12-09-2019 11:03am

Don't have Raz so going with Kun over Mo.

gammygils · 12-09-2019 12:35pm

Salah for me. Does well at Anfield so far.
Sterling disappointed the last time out

City are playing Norwich though who will probably have to draft in Delia Smith to play centre-back.

Father Hernandez · 12-09-2019 1:24pm

My (C) picks have been poor recently

GW1: Salah (C) - 24 (the exception)
GW2: Salah (C) - 6
GW3: Kane (C) - 4
GW4: Sterling (C) - 6

Brought Aguero in on WC and currently on him, Salah (VC)

Any reason to swap?

Cantona's Collars · 12-09-2019 1:52pm

Aguero for me, didn't travel for the international games and will be fresh against a Norwich team shorn of defenders.

Possibly doing the same but have a feeling thus could be a painful game..... pick one and stick might be safer.

Pete_Cavan · 13-09-2019 1:04pm

Leaning towards Salah myself, at home and rested up over int break.

manual_man · 13-09-2019 1:19pm

Sterling. But honestly him and Aguero - and even KdB - are great picks.

You wouldn't bet against Salah or Manè scoring well either, though Newcastle did well to frustrate Spurs in their last away game against one of the big teams.

Taxuser1 · 13-09-2019 1:21pm

Sterling for me. The 12.30 kick off keeping me and my mood swings away from Salah

[Deleted User] · 13-09-2019 1:26pm

Aguero for me, might do TC.

I thought this myth of the lack of goals in the early KO had been debunked?

Dr. Bre · 13-09-2019 1:29pm

Really tempted by Kane

It is but superstition and bad memories persist.

I'm hoping that Newcastle struggle more against Liverpool with 3 up front than they did against a Spurs team with their striker dropping into midfield.

Cartman78 · 13-09-2019 2:14pm

Dammit...voted Sterling but wavering back towards Salah now.

Himself and Mane could run riot tomorrow and Sterling has let me down every time I've captained him

manual_man · 13-09-2019 3:12pm

Tempted to TC Sterling. Norwich are brutalized with injuries and they're pretty crap defensively anyway

Not sure would i chance TC, he might not get the full 90 and also CL during the week.

But it is very tempting

Yeah the CL is putting me off slightly. Though he has played the full 90 in all league games so far. Helped by the fact Sané is injured and he has no real competition on the left wing.

Might join you in being depressed for a week

km79 · 13-09-2019 5:03pm

Very very tough call between Salah and Aguero (or sterling if ya have him)
Those with any of those 3 who are considering Kane are trying to be too smart imo
His premier league form just doesn't justify it

manual_man · 13-09-2019 5:08pm

TC Sterling. Let's do this

Ballsy, best of luck

Pete_Cavan · 13-09-2019 7:52pm

Right, that's it, I'm sticking with Salah.

City could demolish Norwich but it could be one of those games where Mahrez gets two goals and the 3 BP and a few others get 6 - 8 points. If Liverpool demolish Newcastle, as they should, Salah will surely get double figures.

Now close this damn thread before someone changes my mind again!

stephenl15 · 13-09-2019 8:01pm

Sterling! Would be Kun if I had him.

That Norwich injury list is too tempting

Always Be Closing · 13-09-2019 9:43pm

Kane as a differential

callaway92 · 13-09-2019 9:55pm

Not entirely convinced by Kane’s output this season at all so far, however I need a half a risk to get my season going, so I went with him.

Palace due a thumping I think.
