Gameweek 3 Matchday Thread.

Sanchez

TAA - Digne - Shaw

Salah - Bruno - Raphinha - Benrahma

Antonio (c) - Ings - Toney

2FT for next week ... team feels awful templatey now so might just wildcard after a crap start to the season (currently outside the million mark).

Sanchez

TAA Shaw Tanganga Amartey

Bruno Rapinha Salah

Ings Toney Antonio (c)

Sanchez

Cancelo Amartey Shaw

Son Bruno Barnes Benrahma

Kane Antonio(C) Ings

Good luck all

Last minute change of heart for (c)

Salah to Bruno! 2 FT’s for next week

Sanchez

TAA Manquillo Shaw

Salah Bruno (c) Mahrez Barnes Benny R

Antonio Ings

My transfer of Livramento is on the bench

2 freebies: Mahrez + Toney -> Benrahma + DCL

Sanchez

TAA Ayling Shaw

Salah Fernandes Benrahma Sarr

Antonio (c) Wilson DCL

Steele - Brownhill Tsimikas White

Bit worried about DCL's toe problem but he's been playing through it since GW1 so I've a feeling he starts and gets rested over the break by Southgate.

Martinez

Coufal, Shaw, Amartey,

Salah, Mount, Pogba, Son,

DCL, Ings, Antonio(c)

Foster, Bissouma, Livramento, Digne.

Need to sort out my back 7 🤔 Might have to WC soon

oh no!

3 West Ham players - what could possibly go wrong!

ARSENAL TEAM NEWS

Team to play City: Leno, Soares, Tierney, Chambers, Holding, Kolasinac, Xhaka, Odegaard, Saka, Smith Rowe, Aubameyang

Subs: Ramsdale, Okonkwo, Lacazette, Maitland-Niles, Tavares, Mari, Sambi Lokonga, Elneny, Martinelli

MAN CITY TEAM NEWS

Team to play Arsenal: Ederson, Walker, Laporte, Dias, Cancelo, Gundogan, Rodri, Silva, Torres, Grealish, Jesus

Subs: Steffen, Stones, Ake, Sterling, Zinchenko, Fernandinho, Mahrez, Doyle, Palmer

.

Grealish seems like the only guaranteed starter (as he should be for a 100m signing).

Is this the first time Pep has started the same Xi back to back?

Sanchez

TAA, Shaw, Ayling

Salah, Bruno, Greenwood, Benrahma

Wilson, Antonio (C), DCL

Begovic, Liveramento, Brownhill, Omobamideli

I think this will be a low scoring week as I’ve too many players playing each other:

Sanchez

TAA, Rudiger, Ayling (Tmisikas, Livramento)

Salah, Fernandes, Mount, Benrahama (Gilmore)

Toney, Antonio, Ings

May possibly wildcard depending on how today goes. Transfer was White to Livramento to avoid price fall.

Gundo (Jesus)

Delighted I took a -4 to get rid of White and ESR. 2 conceded in 11 minutes is atrocious.

Torres (Silva)

Arsenal are a shambles

If city want, this could be a cricket score

Two footed and off the ground is never going to end well these days.

You won't, City attackers apart from Grealish aren't highly owned.

Grealish second half audition to stay in my team going forward - another involvement at least needed

Saka off too at HT for Elneny

Rodri(Torres)
