Tripps plus 8m mid. Don't lie West ham fixtures
I'm not liking either.....
Van Djik will block a 3rd pool asset for example if you have Salah and TAA. And Pep roulette is a killer with any city mid's. Mid someone like a punt on Dewsbury-Hall and go heavy in the back then.
Trip and Bowen is safe all the same, bowen at 8.5 is just a bit of a price to be honest I think compared to others at less around the 8mil mark.; saka, dias, mount etc.
Thoughts on my lineup for GW1, 0.5m itb
Ward
TAA, Cancelo, Robertson, James
Salah, Martinelli, Rashford, Bailey
Jesus, Haaland
Bench: Iverson, Trippier, Andreas, Plange
Quick one! Just unsure about James at the back for 6.0 and the lack of City attacking cover. I could swap James for bench fodder and use the 2.0 to upgrade Bailey/Neto (open to shipping out Martinelli too).
Anyone with any thoughts or recommendations? Any for my team as a whole very welcome too.
I'm set on doubling up on 'Pool attack for the first 2 GW's anyway.
Really like that team. Only criticisms Would be having Rahford and having a 5m defender on the bench.
Great team...cause it's close to mine. I think you have to use that 0.5m on your keeper. Sanchez/Raya/Meslier.
Sanchez
TAA, Cancelo, Robertson, James, White*
Salah, Saka, Neto
Jesus, Kane**
Bench: Ward, Andreas, Dasilva, Greenwood
*Still torn on White. It's a boring safe option. Still tempted by White to N.Williams and Dasilva to Bailey. What do ye guys think?
**Will be bringing in Haaland for Kane GW2.
Anyone know if Chris Wood is getting his place for Newcastle? Need a 6m-6.5m forward
Think Walker is being overlooked, him and Cancelo only natural FB's for City
Going with:
Sanchez, Ward
Trent, Dias, Trippier, Cash, Neco
Salah, Luis Diaz, Mount, Martinelli, Andreas
Kane, Jesus, Archer
0.5 itb.
...unless someone can convince me otherwise!!!
Is that Regina Plange as your 3rd sub?
Think I'm down to Ramsdale/Cash/Grealish vs Sanchez/Walker/Sancho. Feel Sancho and Grealish will have good seasons but hard to know which will start stronger
He hasn't played fullback for a while though (could be wrong), he's the right side of 3 centre halves as far as I remember
I’m happy enough with Rashford but I share your unease with Trippier on the bench. I really like him but I just can’t get him into the starting 11.
Im thinking of maybe downgrading Tripper to Neco Williams and upgrading a GK to Ederson
He is for England sometimes, city play 4 at the back so it’s RB or bench for him.
Playing it safe with 1.5m in the bank in case it goes horribly wrong...
Didn't plan on Leicester keeper, but 1.5m gives a lot of freedom after first gameweek.
Defence is strong and very templateish, but don't want to stay behind without either of TAA, Cancelo or James.
Can't afford Son so Kulusevski - can't be without at least one Spurs players against the Saints.
Wish I could go with Kane, but have to play it safe with ownership percentage so Jesus and Haaland are must have until tomorrow... Then I might need this cash in the bank.
If you see an obvious fault in my plan please do not hesitate to let me know now :) Or no later than 18:28 please.
Good luck All. Missed this game, despite last year fiasco.
City usually play 4 at the back with Walker RB and Cancelo LB. Zinchenko often played LB and Cancelo RB while Walker was rested then
I like that a lot. Lots of flexibility in midfield with the two 8m picks.
Change Cancelo to Walker, use the 1.5m and you are only 0.5m away from Son!
Rashford could be downgraded to a number of options for example
Very productive afternoon in work saw me going around in circles only to end up without any of Salah, Kane and Haaland.
Jesus up top on his own with a strong midfield and back 4 isn't the end of the world is it?
Thanks, always good to hear I’m not gone completely mad!
Apologies, I stand corrected, either way, I can't afford Cancelo so I have Walker too!
Head is well and truly melted
Raya
Walker - Robbo - Dier - Cancelo - Neco Williams
Diaz - Salah - Martinelli - Rashford - Almiron
Kane- Jesus - Greenwood
Only main worry is lack of Chelsea players
Ideally the site would crash now to stop me tinkering around
Everton and Spurs first 2 up for Chelsea makes it a little bit easier to go without them right away.
Says he with Mount in each of his drafts since the game opened...
Once City settle a bit Walker +2m instead of Cancelo is a strong possibility for me I think.
Seems to be completely under the radar compared to other 5m defenders like Cash and Trippier.
Good thinking, that's another option :
I will probably switch between both few times and decide in last minute :)
Appreciate the feedback - wasn't set on Rashford so not a big deal.
Hoping some low priced player will shine again this season so money can be saved elsewhere because the option above leaves me with 0 in the bank.
More shuffling. Opinions anyone?
just flipped it all around… going all attack to start season. I can’t do defenders later in season.
its all about the fun :)
