    I'm going into this weekend 10pts off 2nd and €€€. Was 16 points ahead going into gw 37 but his BB and having sterling put him 10 ahead. Currently our teams are similar both having TAA,KDB,Bruno,Martial & Ings. His biggest differential is Sterling to my Foden. So to make up points I'm wondering what to do this is my current team I plan on upgrading foden to silva but will have to take a -4.

    Mine:

    Henderson
    TAA Doherty Pieters
    KDB Bruno Martial Foden
    Vardy Rashford Ings

    His:
    Pope
    TAA VVD Egan
    KDB Bruno Martial Sterling
    Jimi Greenwood Ings

    0.3 ITB and 1 FT

    What would you do?

    Considering TAA/Foden/Vardy out for -8 but unsure who to get in? Looking at Kane as a differential.

    Any suggestions appreciated thanks!

    I’d sell Rashford for Kane, funded by TAA to what Burnley defender you can afford

    Also no idea why people don’t wait til 5 minutes before deadline in case there is team news leaked.

    That’s what I’ll be doing even though it means staying up til midnight.

    So my captain won’t be picked til then either.

    Grand for people who dont have family or lives to obsessively refresh twitter and fpl until 5 minutes before deadline, but for the rest of us we gotta make the moves when we can and hope it works out for the best :)

    Troy Deeney folks?

    Hates Arsenal.

    Probably needs to score to avoid relegation.

    Got sent off the last time I owned him.

    But it's not a terrible idea on a FH?

    Not for me. They look done to me and he's a horrible fuucker.

    If you're only 10 points behind, a -8 will leave you with 18 point gap to makeup. However well thoguth out your transfers, that's a big gap to bridge.

    I'd just take your FT at this stage, one of your Man United players for another City Mid (Bruno - Dilva probably).

    Make sure you captian one of you differential players too. Having a different captain gives you a better chance to bridge the gap

    Aye but you’re alive and knocking about.

    Setting an alarm and taking 5-10 minutes out (come into the room) is possible surely.

    But I hear ya.

    I’m very lucky as I don’t have a life.

    100% just this weekend although I did write that before I was aware that there will be no team news guaranteed this GW.

    I just thought with all the confusion around City and most people wanting to use captain, in that game, it could be worth the wait.

    Also if I was in your boat and the ganeweek was starting at midnight on a sunday night I'd probably be online too :D

    Yeah. Wonder what kind of faith we can have in such an article.

    How in Gods name would they have any clue what Pep is planning.

    Like I said earlier, I can’t get better than 50-50 on whether he’ll start his first 11 and all play 90 minutes or rest his first 11 entirely.

    Pep gave the players 2 days off after the match on Tuesday.

    It’s more that they are on the beach for the week more or less
    Hard to know what kind of a performance they will put in now
    No Fa cup final the following week so they are basically on a break until champions league preparations kick in again

    That’s fair, but 2 days break could have a positive effect. More likely not though.

    If Sterling is in St Tropez there isn’t a hope he will start on Sunday.

    He will surely have to isolate and be tested before being left back into the bubble? It’s a bit mad he was even allowed go!

    That may be the case.

    He may play his second 11 and feel he’s already got his first 11 ready for Madrid.

    Who knows ?

    In addition to what I posted above I wouldn’t be off owning Dilva, Foden or Mahrez as 15-20 minutes at the end of that game could still yield very good points during a cameo appearance.

    Why do you think Bilva starts ahead of Mahrez in his first 11? First choice front 3 is Sterling Jesus Mahrez now I would have thought.

    I never even considered that aspect of it !
    I hope we get clarity
    It would save me a minus 4

    That's a double edged sword though. Opens up all sorts of unpredictable opportunities for those with Razzie....

    I have him and would love to hear he was out.

    That’s right up there with Aggie:eek:

    I can’t see how Sterling can be on a beach in France on Thursday and be cleared to return to play on Sunday given how stringent measures are at the moment.

    Jofra Archer the cricketer had to self isolate and couldn’t play for 5 days because he stopped off in a mates house when driving between venues.

    Think I've decided I'll avoid sterling without a leaked team.. would mean bruno to silva and no hit.

    I find the holiday utterly bizarre.

    You can travel to France from the UK without quarantine though.

    Mahrez and Mendy are also in St Tropez.

    I wonder are City having their 2 day rest now, ready to come back refreshed some-bit and treat Norwich as a warm up game before a hard 10 days training before the CL starts up again.
