    Three City attackers is really starting to feel like overkill in a game there is nothing riding on

    I agree but I want silva and have to get sterling
    I actually hope we get news kdb is not starting. I would rather sell him for sterling than salah in that case

    oh never mind i can not afford that!
    I am edging closer to forgoing sterling, captained kdb and selling fernandes for mahrez. This could go terribly terribly wrong.
    Safe move is sterling to salah (I will be doing foden to dilva regardless)

    To protect or not.
    I am really really worried about selling salah for a it tbh.

    Feel the same, he's the one i hope isn't starting, especially if deeper due to Silva playing.

    I no longer feel this way as i can not afford sterling for him :D

    He couldn't hit a barn door against Chelsea and was poor against Arsenal and Burnley too. I wouldn't be too worried about selling him.

    He was alright before that though if I recall correctly - for about 3 years....

    Anybody think PEA (or Kane) will outscore Jimi by more than 4 points?

    Kane probably will


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    Potential FH team

    Pope
    Tark - Otamendi - Robertson
    Dilva - KdB - Martial - Pulisic
    Kane - Deeney - Lacazette

    Martinez: Soucek - Aurier - Pieters

    KdB feels puntier than Sterling but maybe not? Obviously Mahrez would be the most punty of the main 4 City options

    I expect Jesus to start. Unlucky not to get on the scoresheet last time out (had a late goal ruled out). Is a target man through the middle for KDB (going for the assist record) and Dilva.

    Pep will also want his confidence up ahead of the Madrid game.

    somehow I doubt KDB is concentrating on trying to achieve an assists record !

    I would expect KDB, Sterking and Dilva to feature amongst the goals - maybe even mahrez and jesus in a 6-0 victory, a great sign off.

    I think the Man Utd game will be very cagey - if Leicester get a goal early - Man Utd might not have a plan B....wouldnt surprise me if Utd get an injury time equaliser from the penalty spot.

    Liverpool may want to sign off the season with a victory and Newcastle have gone really bad recently - could be a 4-0

    Grealish might drag villa up and keep them in the league.

    All in all .... last day of the season isn't going to be too dramatic - roll on next season which will be massively changed - those with deeper squads will win, there will be more and more earlier substitutions (pre covid half-time substitions were rare enough, now they are part of the game)

    That's not a reason to keep a player... If past performances were the only thing taken into account, Kane would have been in our team every week even when he was playing DM and not scoring.

    If United score early they will get loads of opportunities on the counter so ya I'd keep Martial or Rashford if you have them


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    Walcott enjoys a GW38 right?

    Now that would be fun!

    Yes and him not scoring for 3 games isn't a great reason to take him out considering his shot numbers and locations.

    Debating a straight swap Rashford for Kane. Or Wood to Kane but need to take a hit (probably Doherty to Pieters). I have Bruno for United cover but he’s looked spent these past few matches.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,685 ✭✭✭sheroman01


    A, B or C?

    A. Bruno + Rashford > Dilva + Kane. -4

    B. Bruno + Rashford > Dilva + Jesus. -4

    C. Bruno + Martial > Dilva + Mahrez. -4

    Rashford to kane for free is a solid move


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,634 ✭✭✭miller82


    Please help .....

    Bench boost in play

    A) Bruno + Holgate (injured) --> dilva + lamotey

    D) Bruno + vardy --> dilva + kane

    Getting worried that Sterling will ruin me today.

    Two options to get him :
    Salah to Sterling for free - really don’t want to lose Salah.
    KDB and Fernandes to Sterling and David Silva for a -4. (Have Martial and Greenwood)

    Any opinions?

    If I don’t bring in Sterling I’ll bring in David Silva for a Man U mid or Giroud for Jimenez

    I’m the same
    Also don’t want to sell salah
    Hoping for early team news


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 479 ✭✭rgace


    I think I will get rid of Salah, that gives me the option of Salah to Sterling or Salah to Dilva/Mahrez and Rashford to Kane.

    I also have Pulisic and Son, but Salah is actually the least in-form player out of them so it feels wrong to get rid of either of those.


  • Registered Users Posts: 805 ✭✭✭SameOleJay


    With no team news I think I'll go Bruno/Doherty to Sterling/Bardsley and bench the latter.

    I can not stress enough how much I would enjoy City team news.

    I'm not getting rid of Salah, the upside is too high.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,039 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*


    Just woke up, very hungover and ready to go.

    Bruno & Jesus -> Sterling & Kane. Just waiting for leaked teamsheets. Back up is Saka & Jesus -> KDB & Kane.

    Keeping Salah, as always! He doesn't drink so a hangover should not affect him and Newcastle don't have a fit defence.

    In the absence of rockstar this guy is next best I think. He prob wont post until 5-10 mins (if at all) before the deadline so you'll need to check constantly during that time frame to give yourself time to get your changes done.

    Oh. Now this changes things.

    Scarface was advocated by rockstar too, a couple of times. Now we run the risk of believing or not believing a new Scarface account

    Really?? Didnt know that. Was banking on some early City news from him. Wonder why he deleted it . . .

    Anyone else with a reliable track record regarding early team news?

    He’s deactivated it not fully deleted it. It looks like he wants to take a break from the abuse he’s been getting.

    3 transfers made for a -4.

    Didn't touch my defence so I've no cover there with two reds. Need TAA and Holding to both play. Very nervous Holding won't

    Gone with KDB, Sterling, Silva and Martial in midfield
    Inga, Kane and Greenwood

    Wouldn't have been able to afford Kane if I waited until this morning.

    Now who to triple captain?? I think Kane being three goals off will want 20 PL goals for the season. Palace have been woeful losing most of their games by two or more goals since the restart. But I'll wait for any late team news and might bounce to a city mid last minute still


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,952 ✭✭✭Morzadec


    Was looking at Salah's away form there. Just 4 goals in 15 matches this season. 9 in 18 the season before.

    I watched a bit of Newcastle v Brighton. New castle played their ususl game, everyone behind the ball, v tough to break down. They're not trying anything new juspt cos they're safe.

    I have a few options to get Sterling in, and i did wsmt to keep Salah so was considering a -4. But overall i think ditching Salah without a hit is best. Have TAA and Robbo for Pool coverage.

    Pretty sure this will be my transfer in the absence of early City team news


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,952 ✭✭✭Morzadec


    Three City attackers is really starting to feel like overkill in a game there is nothing riding on

    I disagree, City don't need motivation to rack up 5 or 6. I'd be genuinely surprised if they keep it to 3 or less. Pep roulette is the only thing to cause hesitancy

    With Mustafi out id say your safe enough holding will play. I personally think Trent is more likely to miss out


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,063 ✭✭✭✭eh i dunno


    Just post any team news here if you get. I'll probably see everton team news early and I'll post here


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,706 ✭✭✭dr.kenneth noisewater


    Is Kane and PEA too much on FH? Feel like both could score well and Spurs seem to trying to finish the season well


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,301 ✭✭✭✭Father Hernandez


    Looking at taking a -4

    Salah, Mahrez and Egan out.

    Sterling, Pulisic and Tarkowski in.

    Think Sterling will outscore Salah today (already own Laporte and KDB so Mahrez is the City player to miss out)

    Pulisic in good form and fancy Burnley to get a CS rather than SHU.

    Madness?

    Tarkowski unlikely to get an attacking return, you only break even on his clean sheet so I can't say I'd be happy with a -4


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,057 ✭✭✭Brian201888


    Praying for City team news, in an ideal world I'd end up with Sterling, Mahrez, Dilva

    I fancy Mahrez to start and get points today, I tihnk if you have him in already then taking him out in inadvisable. Pulisic is looking hot at the mo but Wolves don't give up goals easily. Mahrez has a much higher ceiling imo

    I would save y our 4 points and just do Salah and Egan our for Sterling and Tark (or downgrade to Pieters if you need the funds).

    In fact Pieters is arguably better than Tark even if you do have the funds. Taylor has been ruled out and Pieters is getting some attacking returns.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,009 ✭✭✭✭titan18


    Can't decide what to do

    Main options are Foden to Silva

    Foden and Salah to Silva and Sterling for -4

    Salah to Sterling (although that leaves Foden in my team)

    Foden and Vardy/Rashford to Dilva and Jesus

    Salah and Vardy/Rashford to Sterling and Kane

    As do I, but unfortunately I already own KDB, Laporte and Mahrez so in order to get Sterling in, I need to get rid of 1 of the City players.

    Laporte should be guaranteed a CS should he start so it's either Mahrez or KDB out for Sterling should i go down that route.

    Ah right yeah interesting dilemma.. i only have 2 city.

    I'd consider Laporte and Salah out for Sterling and Taa or Robbo if that's doable for you. Not sure if you have the funds. I just think this is one where you want to really go for the City attackers.


  • Posts: 13,688 ✭✭✭✭ Maren Microscopic Newsprint


    Out
    Jimenez
    Bruno

    In
    Kane
    David Silva

    (-4)

    Due to that -4 myself and second place in my private league start the day on the same points.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 493 ✭✭denis1501


    Sterling been away in St Tropez sunning himself, surely he doesn't start today?? Not just because he hasn't trained but because of Covid 19 risks?

    I don't think he would have been allowed go there if it meant he would miss out due to Covid
