    Johnstone
    Justin Dias Holding
    Fernandes Son Grealish Salah (c) Maddison
    Ings Bamford

    McCarthy Watkins Stones Coufal

    A few decisions this week I’m in two minds whether to play Stones instead of Holding and Watkins instead of Son. I think one of Dias or Stones may be rested again. Anyone any suggestions?!

    Would Stones be rested 2 games in a row? I have both so I'm hoping both get a start

    Banking the transfer this week as nearly all my players have good matchups.

    Who to choose though?

    Justin (away to Fulham) or Cresswell (away to Villa)
    Then 3 of Son (home to Chelsea), Antonio (away to Villa), Wilson (home to Palace), Bamford (home to Everton) or the defender not chosen above?

    Atm, I'm benching Wilson and Cresswell but not 100%

    Playing Wilson on the basis that he did well against Palace earlier in the season, albeit late goals. He did well against Everton both times this season so hoping that lightning strikes twice again!

    Wood & Barnes are both doubts for Burnley, which would strengthen City's CS ability.

    Not sure if I have the cajones to follow through.

    Really hard week from a benching perspective, and with an absolute disaster in goal again

    Johnstone

    Robbo, Dias, Cancelo, Targett

    Salah (c), Grealish, Gundo, Bruno

    Bamford, Antonio

    Subs

    McCarthy, DCL, Soucek, Chilwell

    No idea who to bench to be honest, only I will be wrong! Think it comes down to Targett or Antonio/Chilwell

    First week in a long time where we see so many decent options on benches, funds from injured players are spread about.

    Anyway, no transfer/ hits.

    Meslier
    Robbo, Stone, Cancelo (Both City will start I'm sure)
    Salah (c), Son, Maddison, Gundogan
    Bam, DCL, Watkins

    Fab, Justin, Dallas, Mount.

    GL all.

    Banked the hit for the second week running....feels weird :-)

    Martinez

    Stones | Dias | Robertson

    Maddison | Grealish | Salah (C) | Bruno | Gundogan

    DCL | Antonio

    Subs: Coufal | Mitchell | Brewster

    Should really rename my team to "Template FC".

    Grealish for Raphinha my only transfer, briefly considered a hit for Bamford in for Brewster but will hold off til next week.

    It's been a while since I got shafted by a Pep selection so God knows what he'll do this week

    I feel like I'm drowning in a sea of Emi Martinez....

    McCarthy,
    Cancelo, Dias, TAA
    Barnes, Bruno, Salah©, Grealish, Gundogan
    Watkins, Bamford

    Forster, Dallas, Cresswell, Wood

    That cresswell Dallas decision is driving me crazy!
