Solid move imo, although if feasible could it be Silva you cut instead of Sane (or even go cheaper on your 3rd striker, like Quaner, to facilitate)? If not I would still say go for it.

Christy looks fairly nailed on now. DLC should be first choice given recent form, but could see Niasse playing his way in or some rotation. Everton fans are very unsure.

I think you've got enough options between your decent defence and RLC to go super cheap on your third striker

Thanks! Just 0.1 short of being able to swap Silva unfortunately or otherwise I would be going for that.

ShaneU

Sterling, Zaha and Niasse
to
Coutinho, Loftus-Cheek and Austin

Worth a - 4?

£9.6m left for an attacker.

Firmino or Vardy?

-4 Alonso and sterling to femenia and hazard

Was tempted by benteke myself . 4 nice fixtures and shouldn't be rotated went down a different route to get hazard in by selling Alonso. Was going to do morota to benteke.

Can't go another route than downgrading Morata to getting Hazard in. Already have Zaha so feel like double Palace would be overkill.
Firmino's on fire but he's inconsistent and will prob get rotated at some stage. Vardy's less chances of rotation but is less explosive for a team scoring less goals... This conundrum will end in a coin toss :P.

Tough one. Looks kinda like a sideways move on paper but if sterling is rested then it's worth it. Unfortunately there's a risk Coutinho could be rested. His form is great but that didn't stop Klopp benching Salah in that midweek game (Gw13 was it?).

I brought Coutinho in as part of a - 4 myself (slightly justified because that Incl getting rid of Pogba)

Hogey007

With his rate of transfers out I think I'm one of a select few to still have Sane but I really have no desire to sell him so going to bank transfer I think as relatively happy with team.

I want rid of fabianski in goal but he has a decent fixture this week so I'll bank transfer and if I've no other pressing matters next gw I'll get rid of him.

Callum Wilson possibly on chopping block too but very unsure how I'd replace him in that price range so I'll leave him for now.

Gone with Firmino in the end. Next 3 are really appealing. Will reassess then (hopefully not before ).

Getting Firmino in myself, Paul Joyce tweeted:

"When Salah, Mane, Coutinho and Firmino are on the pitch together, one of them scores every 23 minutes."

Can't afford Cout so a double up of Salah & Bobby it is

Sitting in the top 1000, have 2 FTs and the only change I'm considering is to my sub goalie

I'm worried about being this smug, a big fall is coming my way I suspect!

Kane v Hazard captaincy choice wrecking my head though

First Explorer

Went Pogba and Sane to Hazard and Ritchie. Now who to captain Hazard/Salah/Kane? Leaning towards Salah as I think a lot got rid of Kane so just having him could be differential enough.

Chancer3001

Benching sane this week

Midfield 3 of RLC (playing bournemouth) , salah and Ramsey.

Back 4 are Watford, Newcastle and Leicester defenders....

Am I underestimating sane against unite ? Just think Jose will park the bus

dsmythy

I think the United bus is useless without its driver Mr. Jones at 100% fitness. (Well what ever constitutes 100% for him).

He will be playing
United will be playing 3\5 at the back as well
Won't be many goals in this game

All City need is one then it's on. I'd like to think they're too strong attackingly even for United.

What's the rest of your team?

Got rid of Otamendi for Femenia at Watford. Think City have looked quite suspect at the back since they lost Stones, and he's not due back until after Christmas so happy with the mood. Can't bank on Otamendi to get a goal every week to make up for a clean sheet. Might not look great this weekend as think City v United as scoreless draw all over it, but Watford fixtures are very nice over next 6-10 games.

Don't have Hazard which is annoying me. Have KDB who I could move on and get Hazard in, but I also have Wilson up top who I need to move on as well. Not sure how pivotal Hazard is (Have Alonso & Morata). Tempted to take the hit and get Hazard in for KDB this weekend and look to move Morata on next week (think both is overkill)

ScummyMan

Lukaku to Morata, like I should have done fcuking ages ago.

Will wait one more week for Martial I think, although I may well bring him in for a hit yet.

km79

Unless Moyes has a 'major change of Hart' the BBC say that goalkeeper Adrian will start against Chelsea in the early kick-off tomorrow. #WHUFC #MCFC

I think I need to dump one of my City players, which doesn't fill me with joy to be honest.

I have 2FTs but nothing in the bank. Robbie Brady is injured and Callum Wilson is 2 points waiting to happen. Replacing both doesn't give me enough cash to really upgrade either player, so thinking of holding Wilson for this week (probably go DCL next week if he starts the derby)

That leaves me with the option going Otamendi and Brady to any defender of 4.7 or under and Richarlison OR Sane and Brady to Ramsey and Richarlison.

I also have Ben Davies but he will start this weekend and I think he could do better than Otamendi.

Its weeks like this I wish we could keep a 3rd FT, so I could dump Davies, Brady and Wilson midweek!

Decisions, decisions!

I'd keep Otamendi over Sane.
Ramsey is on good form and probably more nailed to keep his place than Sane.
Richarlison is a fun player to own.

Porthallian

Dilva and Moreno have to go.

Still torn between Coutinho/Mariappa

Or Mahrez/Simpson

Leicester could tank a poor Newcastle team but in the long run a Salah/Coutinho double up would be exciting! 4 nice home games coming up.

Anybody think Coutinho plays the majority of those games?

wanderer100

Gonna do Morento to Kiko

What's the story with David Silva?? When is Pep's presser or has he already said something?

He'll probably start all but one of them. Easily capable of doing damage from the bench in the other

eh i dunno

Anyone thinking Robertson for moreno? Will Robertson definitely start now?

I think he will start but you can never rule out Milner

Milner is probably more likely. I’m considering a very boring Cedric to Klavan downgrade, pending Matip news.

Porthallian

What's their back 4 likely to be?
Klavan only 4.3 but hasn't been starting?

He started on Wednesday. Missed the two previous league games with injury.

With Matip out hes pretty much nailed on as Gomez is needed at RB.

My guess is the back 4 will be Gomez-Lovren-Klavan-Milner. Robertson might play but as its the derby, I think he will go with Milner and start Robertson against WBA.
