    We should have info on all starting line ups before deadline right?

    If so, it would seem to make sense to hold off on any moves until then - although price changes may take Sterling out of my reach, for example.

    Highly unlikely tbh.

    We might have some leaks but we won’t have official line ups.

    Anyone else on a FH with a decent amount of money left over?

    Looking at

    Pope

    TAA, Tierney, Aurier, (Bardsley), (Williams)

    Mahrez, Sterling, Silva, Antonio, Martial

    Kane, Ings, (Connolly)

    Thinking Salah and rashford out. Sterling and Auba in. Worth - 4?

    Current FH team is:

    Pope (Button)
    TAA, Bardsley, Digne (Williams, Lamptey)
    David Sliva, Sterling, Redmond, Salah, Trezeguet
    Kane, Auba (Connolly)

    May change a bit more before the deadline. I’m around 8k so will be hoping to hold on to 10k. Lot of people on about transferring out Salah but he has a good record against Newcastle and he’ll still be desperate for goals. I think he’s chasing a record of scoring at least 20 PL goals for three consecutive seasons. Bardsley and Trezeguet could be changed as could Redmond but I think there’ll be goals in a lot of the games where there’s nothing to play for like SOT v SHU for example. Clean Sheets could be hard to come by so defenders with attacking potential will be high on the agenda!

    Have you got Ings?

    Auba looked wrecked the last game and Arsenal were dreadful.

    Also on FH and mines looking like:
    Martinez (Randolph)
    Stephens, Diop, Pieters (Walker-Peters, Branthwaite)
    Salah, Son, Sterling, Mahrez, Dilva
    Kane, Ings (Greenwood)

    Gone top heavy on midfield which means budget defence. Kane up front taking up majority of budget there too. City should hammer Norwich. I'm banking on Spurs to really go at a weakened Palace defence.

    0.5 left if anyone sees any improvements or any changes?

    Current FH team with 0.1 itb
    Pope(Randolph)
    Pieters TAA Aurier (Branthwaite Williams)
    KDB Sterling Bruno Dilva(Saka)
    Wood PEA Ings

    Thinking Bruno/Saka to Son/Davis and finding it hard to sell KDB and TAA

    Seems, like me that many have this chip left.. what are people’s free hit teams made up of?
    Maybe give a bit of context too as if your making moves to block someone chasing you or trying to make up ground on leaders in a league

    For me Dilva will deffo come in and maybe captain even

    I'd leave Bruno in. Utd need a result to get Top 4.

    I think I’d prefer Martial to Bruno, who looks wrecked. I’m hoping to include both Kane and PEA, with a budget defence. I wouldn’t be surprised to see TAA on the bench

    Bruno was absolutely awful last night. He has a lot of minutes in his legs. Even before last night he was slowing down with some 6 pointers rather than big hauls, so I don't think it's a huge risk to go without him.

    I'd be surprised if he hauled against Leicester. A 5-8 pointer perhaps but I think a blank is more likely than a haul

    Have ings but Auba chasing golden boot at home to Watford is appealing. Might wait for press conferences

    I know it's absolutely futile to try to predict, but what are people's guesses for Pep's final day lineup, and specifically Sterling's odds of starting?

    Do you think he'll see this as CL prep and go for his strongest side?

    Or continue with his pattern of rotation based on previous games played?

    I think Sterling coming off at 63 mins suggests he'll probably play.

    First draft of many for me is
    Pope (fodder)
    Aurier Digne Tarakowksi (vestergard robinson )
    KDB Sterling Dilva Bruno ( soucek)
    Kane Ings Greenwood

    Struggling with this too. I’ve really enjoyed the parts of this season when I didn’t own City players.

    It’s much more relaxing at teamsheet time. Except for all the points I missed out on.

    They have a 5 days break til the Norwich game.

    Then it’s 12 days til they play Real Madrid. **** knows what Pep is thinking but I’d imagine most managers would put out the team they plan on playing against Madrid and get 90 minutes in to each and every one of them. But it’s Pep.

    So I think it could be - Bilva, KDB, Sterling with Jesus up front.

    He may play KDB centrally (In a 3 behind Jesus) with Bilva and Sterling wide and 2 holding midfielders because they have the advantage against Madrid and may play that way against them. So Rodri and one other holding. Well that’s what I’d do.

    Though the truth is anything could happen.

    Surly Dilva starts his last ever game?

    That may be the case.

    He may play his second 11 and feel he’s already got his first 11 ready for Madrid.

    Who knows ?

    In addition to what I posted above I wouldn’t be off owning Dilva, Foden or Mahrez as 15-20 minutes at the end of that game could still yield very good points during a cameo appearance.

    Also no idea why people don’t wait til 5 minutes before deadline in case there is team news leaked.

    That’s what I’ll be doing even though it means staying up til midnight.

    So my captain won’t be picked til then either.

    The one thing I hate about the game now is the price rises. I can understand it if players don't have a game till the following week. But price rises on a Sunday evening when there are cup games during the week does my head in, especially if you don't have much money to play with for your transfers.

    Fair point. Maybe just Mane to Sterling then?

    As a DeBruyne owner Sterling taking that peno the other night was like a dagger through the heart. Will be interesting to see who will take them this weekend. Obviously Sterling will be gunning for the Golden Boot and will want to take it but if he's still a couple short surely Silva will be in the running to take it in his final ever game. Whatever happens I highly doubt KDB will be on them.

    if KDB takes the pen, I would not be surprised to see a Pires/Henry type penalty just so KDB gets an assist!

    In such a scenario would the penalty taker actually only get 1 point?
    3 for the assist, and -2 for not scoring?

    Depends on what is the best outcome for the decision maker.

    I’d imagine the guy that rolls it gets the assist and the guy that strikes it gets the goal.

    No assist for the guy who won the penalty.

    I'm going into this weekend 10pts off 2nd and €€€. Was 16 points ahead going into gw 37 but his BB and having sterling put him 10 ahead. Currently our teams are similar both having TAA,KDB,Bruno,Martial & Ings. His biggest differential is Sterling to my Foden. So to make up points I'm wondering what to do this is my current team I plan on upgrading foden to silva but will have to take a -4.

    Mine:

    Henderson
    TAA Doherty Pieters
    KDB Bruno Martial Foden
    Vardy Rashford Ings

    His:
    Pope
    TAA VVD Egan
    KDB Bruno Martial Sterling
    Jimi Greenwood Ings

    0.3 ITB and 1 FT

    What would you do?

    Considering TAA/Foden/Vardy out for -8 but unsure who to get in? Looking at Kane as a differential.

    Any suggestions appreciated thanks!
