Fernandinho Danilo ederson and Jesus not in Brazilian squad for Internationals between gw4 and 5
Otamendi not in Argentina but aguero is ..............Fulham at home gw5

So Pep should play Aguero for the first 4 games then let Jesus have a start. I'll take 6 goals please.

Decided to wc, with the kdb mess earlier in the week I think it's just better off.

Pickford
Mendy Robertson holebas
Bsilva alli Mane pogba
Aguero Vardy tosun

Speroni wan b Daniels Stephens

With Jose love for pogba again (supposedly) hopefully he can be central to there attack.
Going to keep an eye on the arsenal gk situation if Leno gets a look in he could be a nice price if arsenal can settle under emery.

Jesus how bad was it? Surely couldn't have been worthy of a wc

It was really, Sane isnt a a certain starter, king wasn't really something I'm keen on. Sanchez I took out for kdb then got injured. Cedric got taken off early so wasn't confident on him. Sessengon is too expensive for a promoted player. TAA might not be a certain starter either.

I got 43 pts when everyone got decent scores, feel happier now.

From The Guardian:

“Pep Guardiola is considering dropping Sergio Agüero for Manchester City’s game against Huddersfield Town on Sunday, with the manager contemplating starting Gabriel Jesus instead”

:eek:

No quotes whatsoever in that article. So its just that journalists opinion.

I didn’t just read that !
If he doesn’t start and siggy doesn’t or is subbed for Bernard ill be wildcarding

PARlance

Pep considering signing me up.

That's that headline sorted, just need to write the article now.

ScummyMan

I long for the days of pre-Pep, auto-captain Aguero. Simpler times..

Necronomicon

Questionable article or no, I think that's the final push towards Salah for captaincy for me.

I hope it works out for you but I'd have liked to see another week. Scoring or not scoring in GW1 doesn't guarantee anything about GW2.

Pep doesn't say anything about dropping him, I'd say the journalist has Aguero in his ff and is trying to put people off captaining him

Agreed and it is a gamble early on which on normally would avoid but I just don't feel happy with my side. Too much over thinking pre season made me make some silly mistakes. Although I'm probably over thinking now aswell

If your thinking about overthinking then you have already overthought

Surely hazard OOP at cf couldn’t be any worse then my current OOP player Sanchez

Scorpion Sting

I now have Kun fear but not in the usual will-he-score-a bucket-load-of-goals-when-I-don’t-have-him way more the will-Pep-play-Jesus-ahead-of-him-when-I-do-have-him way.

Play Fabianski or Begovic this week?

I have both and have went for Fabianski, for no other reason really than they are at home.

GetWithIt

Does anyone think there’s a possibility of Hudson-Odi playing v Arsenal considering the roasting he gave Bellerin in Dublin?

Wishful thinking I know but I don’t hold out much hope for my alternate- Hughes - at Burnley getting more than 2 points.

I’ve already promoted Peltier ahead of Cairney so I’m scrapping the barrel with my cheapos this week.

I stopped following him last year due to his piss poor transfer stories that came to nothing
There isn’t a single quote
Pep is “considering “ dropping aguero for the other very good striker he has ? I’m sure he “considers “ it most weeks . Like he considers who to play Behind the strikers ......and defensive midfield .........and centre back

He will be right either way
Jesus plays - he is right
Aguero plays - he considered Jesus but decided to stick with aguero

Father Hernandez

I think this might be a case of all fart, no poo

Aguero started every home game last season he was fit for. Jesus didn’t have a fantastic WC so why would he start ahead of Aguero (yes I know it’s Pep)

If anything I think they might start 352, Sterling & Aguero upfront

I’m putting my FPL reputation on the line
I’m going head to head with Jamie Jackson
I’m calling pure and utter BS on it barring an unknown injury
He has said dropped though .
He won’t be dropped . This week.

Lemlin

Thing about Aguero is he could even come on for 20 or 30 minutes and justify the armband.

He’s more explosive than Salah.

Markx

Flashbacks from last season. Week 2, Aguero captain at Bournemouth ,
stays on bus :mad:, comes on as sub :mad:, 1 point .
Everybody else has Lukaku captain in the 17:30 :eek:,
misses penalty :pac:
Aguero outscores Lukaku by 1 point to nil :cool:

same dilemma. went for begovic because west ham looked terrible (albeit against a great liverpool side) and Bournemouth looked good.

extra gravy

Just watched the first episode of the City documentary "All or Nothing." It's a fascinating insight into how they operate. A lot of praise for Mendy in it and how important he is for the team.
