    Who is furthest forward there.

    Cancelo Stones and Dias playing a lot of games straight in the league. No wonder as it has been working.

    Fotmob have De Bruyne furthest but could be Silva.

    Played Gundog over Saka... delighted with Peps selection for once.

    Think it will be similar to the Chelsea game where KDB is probably the furthest forward of the central players,almost playing as a centre forward, with Foden and Mahrez wide, but would expect to see Gundo making a lot of runs into that central space too.

    Really rough on Sterling owners, I thought he'd start and strongly considered him. Only didn't include him in the end as I was worried about having too weak a bench in the current climate

    ****ing Mahrez! Watch this lad run riot now

    Just said the same, I held him for weeks on end..

    At least my 3 City FH players start and I won on Pepe Roulette for a change, Cancel, KDB and Gundogan.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,815 ✭✭✭bantee


    Have Bernardo from Brighton as my 10th player here, expecting a 0 or minus score from him to be fair though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,466 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic


    Captained Sterling.

    I may write a thesis on how much of a cluster fúck a season can be.

    Kevin misses a good chance - keeper saved it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,815 ✭✭✭bantee


    KDB missed great chance


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,440 ✭✭✭shmeee


    KDB miss!!! Come on kev, score


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,220 ✭✭✭✭Scorpion Sting


    Trossard close to scoring there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,075 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm


    I did not FH thought not worth it with 7 plus Brewster.

    That -12 I was going to take if Sterling was not passed fit looks like the move I should have made. This City game looks very cagey one for the defences. 'Shoulda, woulda, coulda' the three best fantasy football players in history. Very consistent!

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    He was offside. Nowhere close to scoring there... Not even a shot ;)

    No I meant the chance he had a few minutes before that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,910 ✭✭✭begbysback


    Any chance of a stones goal here?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,951 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    City get a indirect free for a back pass


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,815 ✭✭✭bantee


    Kevin free kick in the box

    Seeing as hes never scored for City in the PL, then why not!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,815 ✭✭✭bantee


    Another Kevin shot blocked

    He has been the only one who has looked a real threat so far. Cancelo getting forward a lot as well I suppose.

    I don't know what they did not play it backwards to him to give more space.

    Think I'll just leave my Free Hit unplayed next year


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,075 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm


    The more this game stays tight the more I am hopeful of Sterling getting an earlier run and Mahrez/Foden getting hooked.
    Maybe even half time?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,083 ✭✭✭Chesty08

    Foden (KdB)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,352 ✭✭✭✭Father Hernandez


    Great shout on the lads who went with Foden, hopefully more goals in this.

    Kev returns at least.

    The gamble on those who went with Foden has paid off.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,089 ✭✭✭Happy4all


    KDB seemed to twist his ankle. No point risking him 2nd half.:P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,860 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    How has Cancelo only got one assist this season, he's looks so dangerous.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,083 ✭✭✭Chesty08

    Mainly poor finishing. City have not been scoring well in majority of games.

    They only averaging about 1.5 goals per game so far

    24 goals in 15 games is not their standard

    Wouldn't you think they would have found a top striker 'on the cheap' because of covid19 and other teams football finances?

    Haller went to Ajax for 22m.

    Not sure what do you mean by cheap, but don't think so.

    Don't know how easy that would be even for city - any striker going there will want to get top dollar, and how many will be happy to be rotated.

    Yeah I suppose not many Giroud's around.

    I am happy with just assist from the captain so far.

    The way this is going it could still be best pick this week.

    Foden looking good. Need to work on either staying up on ground or fall more dramatically :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,951 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    Mahrez should have scored


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,352 ✭✭✭✭Father Hernandez




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,951 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    Bilva shot off post - city getting closer


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,440 ✭✭✭shmeee


    Gundogan shot great save, B Sliva then hits post.

    City surely in for a few more here


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,951 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    That Percy Tau lad is lively enough for Brighton


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,220 ✭✭✭✭Scorpion Sting


    Alderweireld benched will hurt a few.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,860 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    Really need another return from Kev


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,951 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    Cancelo nearly scored
