    My question is how do you have 4 City players??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,191 ✭✭✭✭Shanotheslayer


    You're absolutely mad to not be starting Aguero.

    Aguero in for Maguire.

    apologies, Sane should read Mane!!

    Hi all

    I need some advice on team composition please. This is a draft team and I'm under pressure to give the current league leader his first loss.

    I'm thinking I should swap Aguero with Maguire since it's Leicester playing Liverpool and Liverpool should score.

    My current anchors are Otamendi and Stones. Otamendi has not played since the start of the season and Stones missed last weeks game.


    Thank you!

    What's with the 5 City players? Am I missing something here

    I have the worst Alonso fear in me after reading this thread :eek: ... would need to downgrade Firmino for a -8 to get him in as already did Ricky > Walcott earlier this week

    Firmino > Arnie/Mitro & Cedric > Alonso worth a -8? Would be playing this 433 this week:

    Fabianski
    Alonso - Mendy - PVA - Coleman
    Salah - Mane - Walcott
    Aguero - Arnie - Ings

    Not sure if its worth it with Pool playing a Vardyless Leicester that could get hung on the counter attack as was thinking about WCing next week anyway but am down at 530k after last week so don't really mind taking risks

    Not a bad shout. Alonso could easily pay back the -8 over the next 2. I'd probably go for Mitro over Arnie though. Would give you a little change in the bank too which might be handy for future transfers.

    Mane - Hazard

    Bilva - Fraser?

    Depends how recently you got Mane I think.

    Thanks - agree on Alonso's potential. Mitrovic definitely on the radar for the 2nd striker spot. The -8 would just mean that I probably wouldn't wildcard next week purely to give the two lads time to (hopefully) pay back the points hit

    really good suggestion and stacks up for a -8. Just afraid Bilva might score well over the next two city home games.....hmmm


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,303 ✭✭✭Mike Ehrmantraut


    Brought in Walcott for Richarlison. Not overly confident in Walcott but it's probably going to be one of the more popular choices, the others I was considering would have needed a -4, and didn't think it was worth a hit this week

    I took a -8 last week to get Alonso. Totally worth it!

    WanB(SOU) or TAA(lei) whom to start??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,251 ✭✭✭✭Lemlin


    Arnie flag removed. Is he therefore good to go?

    I’m playing a 5-2-3 with 1 fit sub as it is!

    I'd go with WanB, if it was Robertson V WanB i'd go with Robertson but think WanB has a better attacking threat than TAA, plus TAA seems to be a yellow card magnet

    Arnie flag removed. Is he therefore good to go?

    Would appear so going on what Peligrini said, I have him and am starting him

    Same issue - gotta be Wan Bissaka - similar threat of attacking returns - at home to low scoring Southampton

    Need to bench 2 from 4......
    Sakho wanbis holgate cedric....
    Any thoughts?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,251 ✭✭✭✭Lemlin


    Going into tomorrow with a team of:

    Foster
    Shaw, Mendy, Robertson, Alonso, Wan Bissaka
    Salah, Walcott
    Aguero, Firmino, Arnie
    Speroni, Fraser, Cairney (inj), Gunnarasson (inj)

    Opinions on Cairney to Pedro for -4? Only thing holding me back is worrying about Pedro’s playing time.

    Definitely Cedric.

    Tough call after that. Holgate has less upside, but not sure I’d put all my eggs in the Palace basket either!

    I’d probably bench one of the Palace lads, but no idea which one.

    The other factor is who would you bench? Shaw?

    I'd agree. Would be more interested in playing Wan than Sakho.

    Looks like a 5-2-3

    Get ya, would leave the -4 in that case.

    Yep, I’m thinking I will.

    Brought Fred in little bit of gamble in this but think its worth it as he could should end up taking the corners and crossing freekicks for United. Had a few against spurs and they looked good (this might sound weird but United haven't have a decent crosser since giggs retired)

    Given the size of the United team they should be scoring a lot more for set pieces then they do and I think he will prove good value for money.

    Made some good forward runs in the last few games so I thik he will nick his share of goals this season sure you can't go too far wrong at 5.9

    Id downgrade him to a 4.5\5.0 midfielder and use the money elsewhere
