I'd say there's a good chance TAA could outscore Perisic, Dunk and Guehi combined.
Personally I'd pick Kane or Son and reinvest in your defence.
TAA essential IMO.
Thanks for the advice, I switched out Mendy for Gazzaniga and upgraded Williams to Trippier
Thoughts on Mahrez (8.0) vs Grealish (7.0)?
Mahrez with minutes is basically an essential player especially at that price. He gets great points per minute, but just not consistent league game time. With Jesus and Sterling gone it seems like the right spot should be his for most matches, far less competition on that right side. He was an early pick for me that I wouldn't compromise on.
However, Grealish has apparently been better preseason and the extra 1.0 certainly comes in handy. There seems to be a lot of conventional wisdom saying that Grealish will up his numbers big time this season, but when you look at last years numbers Mahrez is easily worth 1.0 more. Even his underlying stats with penalties taken out of the equation are better.
Foden (8.0) is another to consider. I guess the Charity Shield should give us some clues in terms of likelihood to start and eye test
I’m going with grealish. I think he’ll be perfect for haaland. But like you said it will be interesting to see who plays in the community shield
With 5 subs, it's very likely that Grealish, Foden and Mahrez will all get game time in most matches - just how many minutes is the question. Would you want 60 mins from the start, or 30 mins against a tiring team for instance.
Liking this at the moment, big at the back. Oddly the biggest problem I have is ignoring Neco Williams, think he's such a gift for the money. Might go James to Neco, Bailey to Grealish based on weekends games.
Any critiques
Prefer Patterson to Williams now, he started again today and has been playing well by all accounts.
Is getting subbed post 60 the worst thing for a full back? Could get some lucky clean sheets, going off before late goals conceded
Does it look like he’ll replace coleman as evertons first choice right back?
Last season, Pep regularly, if I recall correctly, didn't even use the 3 subs.
Grealish, Foden & Mahrez broke my heart last season, never seeming to start when I brought them in. But given the movement outs, you would expect them to get more consistent game time. Still a bit of a lottery guessing when they will start.
Can anyone (non man united fan preferably) give some insight into the Dalot situation. Seems to be in every team.
Coleman is injured so he should start the season and who knows after that. Could be a bargain if he nails down a place.
Yes. Go with Patterson over Williams or both!
im going with both & hoping to catch the price rises :)
This is where I’m currently at. I’d like to have KdB but then it causes a 4mil re-jig on Foden.
I think Foden can start well & stay close to KdB points wise.
Any feedback appreciated
Overall nice team but I’d personally go Grealish+Diaz vs Foden+Zaha.
Really like the Zaha pick, City and Pool away in first 4 is putting me off though so might start with Grealish instead.
Wouldn't be a fan of Toney now that Eriksen's gone, think he'll suffer from a lack of creativity.
Foden is a rotation risk, which you obviously are aware of.
Crystal Palace have really tough opening fixtures (even though I think they could get a result against Arsenal) so Zaha may underperform his pricetag early.
Extremely strong whiff of 2nd season syndrome around Brentford. The double up on their assets is risky.
I’m fairly set on this team for gw1. I feel like I need a differential or two though as it is very template. Maybe Cash to Trippier or Diaz to Mount?
Thanks for the feedback
Dont think Foden is a rotation risk at all. He started 15 of the 17 PL games in the run-in last year. With Sterling, Jesus & Fernandinho gone there is must less chance of rotation in my eyes. He’s nailed on I think.
Palace play home first game of PL on a Friday night, stadium be rocking. 3 of first 5 at home. Yes city & Liverpool but they beat city at Ethihad last season and it’s early in season & top teams tend to drop points then.
Im not mad on having triple city, triple pool early.
I understand the Brentford point & it’s something I’m weary of & to be honest I can quickly move to form player.
Jesus 2 goals, Martinelli 1 assist in Arsenal’s 4-0 over Sevilla today.
Jesus looks a no brainer. Might double up on them both.
I'm currently quadruple Arsenal; Zinchenko, Gabriel, Saka & Jesus.
I’m really happy with my midfield and back line except for Reguillion. Jesus is a must for me but I don’t know who I should pick to partner him. Any changes I should make folks ?
Haaland is the most selected player now I think so going without him is risky.
Hat-trick for Jesus + brace for Saka.
Jesus hat trick now. (Gabriel maybe assist)
City v Liverpool at 5pm.
Man City: | Ederson, Walker, Dias (C), Ake, Cancelo, Rodrigo, Bernardo, De Bruyne, Mahrez, Haaland, Grealish
SUBS | Ortega Moreno, Phillips, Stones, Gundogan, Alvarez, Foden, Mbete, Palmer, Wilson-Esbrand
Liverpool: Adrian, Robertson, Van Dijk, Matip, Trent, Thiago, Fabinho, Henderson (C), Diaz, Firmino, Salah
SUBS | Davies, Gomez, Konate, Milner, Keita, Jones, Elliott, Nunez, Carvalho
No Allison is interesting enough with injury, wonder does he start next week and what implications that has for anyone going Liverpool defence.
Klopp has said Alisson is fit for Fulham.
Regullion was left out of spurs pre season tour to South Korea and hasn't been involved in their other games either. Conte has told him he can leave.
Trent goal.
Good luck to anyone going without him.
