    Dilva in


  • Registered Users Posts: 805 ✭✭✭SameOleJay


    Considering Laca.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,432 ✭✭✭✭Green&Red


    Sterling in

    For some reason I thought I could go Pulisic to Sterling, looks like it’ll have to be Bruno making way, leaving me with no united attacker

    I don’t see that game being a goal fest
    I’m not excited about having 3 united attackers in it

    If Villa are in still in with a chance of survival, I may bring Grealish into my FH side. Feels like the kind of game where he could step up, and West Ham look safe. I'll see how Villa fare against Arsenal.

    I’d agree, cagey. Especially if United are ahead going into it

    Ask again after midweek games
    It’s too soon to give an opinion without seeing midweek team selection from city , possible injured etc etc

    Good man. Of course.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,543 ✭✭✭✭CSF


    I think this is the week where your transfers relate to where you are in your important minileagues, and what your rivals will be doing. If you're 30 points behind someone who is likely to bring in Silva, you probably don't want to be bringing in Silva, in spite of the possibility of him having a good day to finish his City career. Unless you have alot of differentials to make up the 30 points elsewhere, you find another potential source of points that might actually eat into that.


    If you're points ahead, you block. With 9 games still to go in this GW, I guess none of us really know exactly where they stand. After monster hauls from Martinez, Aurier, TAA, Bruno, Martial, Salah, KDB, Jesus and Greenwood I fully expect to be blocking my 60 point lead :D

    Which is why I expect to be signing sterling and captaining either him or KDB


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,595 ✭✭✭✭siblers


    Probably Bruno to Dilva and Sarr to Antonio for a hit.

    Will finally use my bench boost too

    GW 38 transfers?

    Hello hello hello


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,654 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    David Silva one last time. I'd like to have a fun punt too but nobody is really standing out.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Early stages I know but can’t imagine going without KDB and Sterling for their last game.

    Stand out captains too. KDB the safer option.

    Norwich look the most vulnerable team I can remember. I know it’s cliche but it could be a cricket score.

    I’ll have to sell Salah if I want both and I don’t see why not.

    I could try and add Jesus but it would be for a hit and mean selling one of my Manchester United midfielders. Tough call between selling Fernandes or Martial but I don’t fancy that fixture against Leicester.

    Head is wrecked trying to work it all out.

    Hopefully the next few days make things clearer.

    Second in both my main money leagues have sterling And one still has TC chip
    So I have to get him . I will captain him or KDB
    The only way I can get him is by selling salah . I’m fine with that . I think liverpools season ends at anfield midweek.
    That leaves me with a wedge of cash in the bank
    I have Foden
    I want David silva
    I am weighing up whether that move is worth a hit . I am currently on “possibly “

    Are Newcastle with all their injuries not similarly targetable to Norwich?

    This is the worry as I would have to sell salah to get sterling
    But both rivals also have Salah !
    Not sure liverpool will be too up for a trip to the north East after their trophy presentation etc has already taken place
    I’ll have TAA as well

    Don’t want to over think it.

    Goals scored since the restart -

    City - 25

    Liverpool - 11

    City playing towards the European games has made a big big difference I think.

    I know Liverpool are attacking but City have been on a different level. They go right til the very very end.

    City have been very good yeah but their goals will probably be more widely spread than Liverpool’s too. I guess it ultimately comes down to what you’re chasing for by the end of this GW

    Consolidation.

    Want to finish top 10k. Currently at 8k and only 6 points away from dropping out of top 10k.

    I’ve to sell Bruno to get Sterling or Pulisic to get Dilva, I don’t think there’s any decision to make, Sterling IMO is the standout option for Captain


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,785 ✭✭✭Dubliner28


    Sterling Dilva or Auba Triple captain for me
    Well see how the game week goes.

    I’m the far side of that 10k mirror. Just inside 12k and 5 points

    Pretty similar


  • Registered Users Posts: 103 ✭✭notdarkyet


    I’m ahead in my leagues and planning to free hit. What advice would you give regarding the following options?
    A
    Pope
    Tarkovski Pieters Cresswell (Diop)
    Sterling D Silva Salah B Fernandes
    Jesus Kane Ings

    B
    Pope
    Tarkovski Pieters Ogbonna (Diop)
    De Bruyne D Silva Martial B Fernandes (Sarr)
    Jesus Kane Auba

    C
    Pope
    Tarkovski Pieters Digne (Masuaku)
    Sterling D Silva Antonio Martial B Fernandes
    Jesus Kane (Ings)


    I’m going heavy on Burnley defence.
    Big dilemma is which City trio to gamble on, for me it comes down to De Bruyne or Sterling, any opinions appreciated

    Copy as many of the closest chasing teams as possible.

    So, if the chasing teams all have 2 x Burnley, then that's what you do.

    You can't cover all scenarios, but cover most.
    You don't have to worry about City players, get the same as the chasers.

    who do i transfer in lads? 1 ft and 0.3 in bank. disaster of a season but still 10 pts ahead in one of my leagues

    ff.png


  • Registered Users Posts: 103 ✭✭notdarkyet


    Yea thanks, I’m well ahead so I don’t really have to worry about them (tempting Fate big time!) but I’m just inside the 100k (I won’t embarrass myself by saying where I was back in January). I’m really looking to cover the players likely to have a big last day: Kane, Auba, Sterling, Silva are all in that category I’d say. Who to captain is a who,e other story though.
    Price rises might limit my options so I might make the move tonight

    You’re on BB?
    Then I would go Ricky -> Dilva

    That’ll leave you with 5.4 to upgrade Holgate, probably for Tarkowski and a -4

    Then I’d probably go Pieters from Burnley and if you’d like a risk get Saka in for another hit. I know it’s a -8 on the last day of the season but if they both play then it’s only a -4, CS or attacking return covers it

    Edit: If you didn’t like the risk on Saka you could go for Enda Stevens for just the -4


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,009 ✭✭✭✭titan18


    Why is anyone making transfers now? Most of 37 hasn't been played and we'll likely get the team sheets before the deadline anyway so if someone like kdb,sterling,Salah etc don't play, can do something


  • Registered Users Posts: 103 ✭✭notdarkyet


    Price rises


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,219 ✭✭✭davemckenna25


    Martial or Son?


  • Registered Users Posts: 103 ✭✭notdarkyet


    Martial for me

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,264 ✭✭✭✭manual_man


    Already got Dilva in with my 1st transfer. 2nd will be used to get a 3rd City player in - either Jesus in for Vardy, or Mendy in for Maguire


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,706 ✭✭✭dr.kenneth noisewater


    FH Active, current draft below but thinking I'll need to get Kane in after yesterday.

    Pope
    Bellerin TAA Tark
    KDB Sterling Bruno Dilva
    Greenwood PEA Ings

    3.9GK Saka Pieters Williams


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,785 ✭✭✭Dubliner28


    Auba or Sterling?

    Surly Sterling Dilva KDB will get the night off mid week.

    KDB will play
    He got the night off last week
    Dilva and sterling may not start alright
    But then again jesus is also due a rest
    They will all likely play some part though


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,785 ✭✭✭Dubliner28


    Dilva last game for City will surly get a lot of him

    Narrowing down my TC options
    Currently have it on KDB but Sterling Dilva and Auba on my radar for TC


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,426 ✭✭✭Shedite27


    Foden - Dilva


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,634 ✭✭✭miller82


    Trossard ( v's Burnley) or Soucek (v's Villa)

    and are people thinking garcia will play for city ?


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,685 ✭✭✭sheroman01


    Jimi + Bruno/Martial > Dilva + Jesus for -4. Prefer not to sell Utd assets but I need Dilva.

    I can get dilva for Foden for free
    Which I will do
    There is enough uncertainty now over sterling starting though for me to hold off on salah to sterling for a hit
    I will not rule out martial or salah to Mahrez however
