Stones is a bit of a risk and both those players have gone up in price but I have decent cover for Stones if he doesn’t play. I don’t fully trust that Vardys groin will be ok despite Rodgers saying it is.

McCarthy--Martin Justin--Zouma--Mings--Walkers Peters--Mitchell Salah--Grealish--De Bruyne--Bowen--Jorginho Vardy---Wilson--DCL My thoughts - KDB isn't bringing in the points but surely Man City have to get their act together some time? Jorginho isn't playing often so should get rid. Wilson has really tough figures coming up. Your thoughts?

If Matip was not to play, either Lamptey, Coufal, Soucek or Taylor would be the player subbing in. So I'm not really worried about the 0 pointer. With the way the fixtures are playing out and Klopp will probably rest Matip in the cup and maybe one league game, I can see him starting 2 of the singles, the blank and then the double. Appreciate the concern and every single point you make are valid ones. I guess I am a bit mad tying my hopes on Aguero staying fit and then also starting and then also returning. I just have a feeling that Aguero is slowly being worked back into fitness and did play some minutes tonight. It's still a GW16 transfer in mind for Aguero so I have the extra week to see how many minutes he gets. If he gets 30 against Newcastle and scores I'd be happy enough to think that he will start in GW16 and subsequent games. He has a run in 18-20 of Brighton, Palace, WBA & SHU. It's hard ignore those fixtures. And I guess I could fall back on Jesus as he is back amongst the goals tonight and well, it is that time of the year :pac: The main reason I'm going this route as I think City have really attractive fixtures from 18-22 without having a double and so a couple rivals may go too deep with DGWs and ignore the obvious in City's great fixtures. A 10.3 fit & firing Aguero is very hard to ignore with those fixtures IMO. It could fail spectacularly but it could also be a great differential. If I can find any striker with those sort of fixtures of the same period, I will easily change my plans to Zouma - TAA/Robbo and DCL - new striker. But finding that striker is difficult. I have Kane and stubbornly holding onto Watkins as his luck has to change eventually.

The same lad whose contract is up by the end of the season, who is free to talk/sign with oversea clubs from 1 January and who won't want to break down and get any sort of long lasting injury before anything is signed? I think that's the biggest gamble right there based on his current non existing form. Might as well plan to bring in Auba - at least he's played 90 mins most games this season.

Chesty08 wrote: » Don’t think it’s too outrageous. I’m looking at TAA. I want him for the DGW. Ideally have him for this GW v WBA but would require a hit. I think the chances of a clean sheet outweigh the -4. My other defenders to come out are most likely non playing (Chilwell, Telles & Bernardo). The only other players who would bring out are Watkins & Mahrez. I’m loathe to get rid of Mahrez at home to Newcastle. That leaves me with Watkins, who also has a nice Crystal Palace at home fixture. If I go down the Telles to TAA route, my only option for Watkins is Deco-Reid (Fulham). Looks like he’ll be pen taker in line if Cavaleiro is injured. The other option is Mahrez.. who can become Bowen, Raphina, Walcott (someone who has DGW) but also that leaves me with funds to do another -4 and go Chilwell to Robertson. Double Liverpool defence this week & the DGW is very appealing. So does TAA, Robbo -8 outscore Telles & Mahrez this week? A Liverpool clean sheet bring my score to 4 and that’s Mahrez & Telles basically playing and not doing anything.

Home to WBA it's not unlikely with good fixtures ahead. I just cannot see a forward in Wilson's price range that entices me, Watkins seems a disaster, Abraham not nailed to start, what to do
