Four premiums including pea.

Which one ye think? First the safest but third looks pretty fun

This one for me too. I have something similar (Barnes for Pukki). Still contemplating Digne and McGinn OR TAA and Dendoncker/Guendouzi

Any thoughts on below?

Pope Adrian
TAA Dine Zinchenko Lund Kelly
Salah KDB Mount McGinn Ceballos
Aguero Barnes Greenwood
1.2 ITB

Wow this has gotten me too excited less than two hours from deadline

Pope (4.0)
Taa ota pieters soy Lund
Salah sterling kdb Pepe cantwell
Haller Wesley greenwood

Necronomicon · 14-09-2019 10:14am

This looks like me:

Adrian (4.0)
Lund VVD Digne Zinchenko Kelly
Salah Sterling James Tielemans Cantwell
Aguero Abraham Greenwood

I'd expected the bolded to start when fit, then it'll be between Lund and Cantwell to make it either 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 depending on the fixtures.

km79 · 14-09-2019 10:41am

Grant Hanley should be pretty nailed on now as 4.0m fodder.......they wont keep any/many clean sheets but he saves valuable cash
This is a note to my future self btw

iroced · 14-09-2019 11:03am

I see most of you go for Greenwood as an enabler.

I'm myself torn between 2 very different options.

1 quite boring
Pope [Button)]
VVD Ota Digne (Mings) [Lundstram)
Salah Sterling McGinn (Cantwell, Hayden)
Aguero Abraham Barnes

Aguero (more than KDB) for more flexibility (can be replaced with Aubameyang (surprised he's close to a drop considering Arsenal upcoming fixtures), Kane, Firmino or Vardy very easily)
WIll play 4-3-3 or 3-4-3 rotating Mings/Cantwell/Hayden depending on fixtures

2. risky but exciting
Pope [Button]
Maitland-Niles Lowton Mings (Lundstram) [Kelly]
Salah Sterling KDB (Cantwell, Hayden)
Aguero Abraham Barnes

Plan is let's say for next 5 GWs at least. Will assess then if it's too suicidal a strategy. I keep Kelly hoping he's not out for 6 months (I can afford a £0.1m loss). Defense will be rotated possibly with midfield too going for 4-3-3 if better.

Should I definitely give up option 2 ?

In the short term option 2 may actually gain more points and it's an exciting prospect with the triple up.
But long term I think option 1 is better

It's KdB Lowton Kelly Maitland-Niles vs McGinn VVD Digne Ota.

You are really banking on huge KdB scores

Porthallian · 14-09-2019 11:24am

I think it's also worth noting for people with Ota that Fernandinho will likely get games at CB

iroced · 14-09-2019 11:39am

Went with option 1. Less exciting alright but more sensible as you rightly pointed out

Porthallian wrote: »

Yeah but can't afford Zinchencko right now. Hopefully Otamendi plays the next 2-3 games so that I can see where I can possibly gain those £0.2m.

Not sure a Stones Fernandinho pairing it in anyone's best interests. Otamendi is fine.

Short term compared to the others.

Checking in.

Looking at:
Rico/Diop/Salah/Cabellos/Dedonker/Haller/Barnes Out
Tomari/Soyunci/Mane/Cantwell/Son/Abraham/Greenwood In

Leaving
Pope (4.0)
Digne VVD Tomari Soyguncu Lunstram
Mane Sterling DeBruyne Son Cantwell
Pukki Abraham (4.5)

10 starters in Bold, then one of the other 3 to join them on any given week.

Why Haller out? Try keep him and downgrade VVD.

Ace2007 · 14-09-2019 9:20pm

Those on Wildcard, why not put Aguero in your teams - I don't understand leaving him out - he has scored in every game this season, and twice in two of those games, so 7 in total, which is phenomenal form. He starts every game, he has scored 20+ goals in each of the last 5 seasons. City can't afford to drop more points so he will be central to their team.

Compare Aguero to Sterling - he got a hattrick in GW1, and since then has only got 2 goals - blank against Brighton and now Norwich. City won't be keeping CS with LaPorte out, so the extra point for CS will probably be gone. Sterling costs more and is return less.

I can understand the logic of having both Sterling and Aguero, but if only going for one, I think he has to be King Kun.

Mane/Salah - it's have one and just stick with it for the season.

Personally I'm not sold on pool defenders value, Matip is probably the best value of the pool defenders, but when they aren't keeping clean sheets, i don't know why you would have 6.5m tied up in VVD.

Son will be a good shout - and probably priced fairly - given how deep Kane is playing, he's going to be scoring less, so someone else has to step up and looks to be Son.

Only issue with that is that Cantwell comes the bench player and he's too good to be sitting on the bench each week, so he might as well have Stephens from Brighton and save 0.3m

Too many mid priced options. I have pukki and Abraham ahead of him st the moment

Cheers, will try an Aguero draft in the morning. Would like a mid priced mid in there (James/Mount/Ceballos) so would free up that spot.

Fair point on VVD, think I’m doing it out of fear really, 50% own VVD, I’d imagine 90% have some Liverpool defender. Not sure I trust Matip when European rotation kicks in

Did Tomari only play because Lampard went like for like?
It might be worth considering Matip instead of VVD even if you bank most of the cash.

You've convinced me on downgrading VVD.

Did a few drafts with Aguero instead of Sterling. Basically comes down to playing each week:
Aguero + two of Cantwell/Tomori/Ceballos/Soygucu
Sterling + two of Cantwell/Tomori/Maitland-Niles

Not much of a difference really apart from the Sterling/Aguero debate. Think I'm still swinging towards Sterling. To be honest I could make an argument for either, think it's a real flip of the coin job.

Can't agree on the clean sheets. City have home games coming up against Watford, Wolves, Villa and Southampton plus CP away, even without Laporte they will likely keep a few clean sheets. They will dominate possession in these games and are less likely to get caught out after the kick in the hole they got from Norwich. I'd say there's 3 extra cs points for Sterling in those games.

Yeah but one penalty for Aguero and it evens it out.

I am having a horrible year, might switch the two as a differential

ThunbergsAreGo · 15-09-2019 9:24pm

Not 100 prevent swayed on it but

Pope Button
TAA Rico Maitland Niles Otamendi Lundstrum

KDB Salah Cantwell Mount James

Pukki Aguero Haller

Others under consideration are Son, Auba, Martial, Adrian, Mane

Having a shocker of a year

Vsry similar midfield to what I’ll be going with
I’ve decided to go with mount instead of Abraham as there are more forwards to choose from at cheaper than there are midfield options at mounts price
If I was you I wouldn’t bother with James
I’m playing cantwell as 4th mid but I won’t have pukki
I was 100% getting otamendi
And then I seen his “performance” on MOTD
Still might but he was diabolical

Double up with Mount and Abraham? Chelsea have great fixtures after Liverpool.

To be honest I have totally ripped it up already, but button very much hit.

Pope, Button

Soyuncu, TAA, Otamendi, Lundstrum, Rico

Mane, KDB, Mount, Cantwell, James

Auba, Aguero, Greenwood

It's going to be a long week!

Now we have 2 of the same strikers.............
Slash or mane is going to be the most difficult decision
That extra 0.9 allows me a second decent defender
It’s currently digne and scrap!
Not sure I’m brave enough to go without salah though
