Pep has destroyed me here, but it is so late anyway to do much with the season. Now I am fecked if I go for TC Sterling last game or not.
Since he was given the pen it shows Pep wants him to score goals so might not be rested.
Because City are playing Norwich at home and there might be a team leak 15 mins before deadline, ideally you want to be online at 2:45 next Sunday and doing transfers/captaincy then. If Sterling starts, I’m having him. If not, KDB.

Yeah that is interesting with leak. Going to be focused on our game vs Leicester though.
Since he was off early today I assume Pep wants him for the last game. They have no other game before CL so no point in rotating.

Laporte and Willian to Dilva and Tarkowski for a -4 went well. Something like 10 points worse off already with Willian still to play.

Pep's just made the final week impossible to guess. Yes, Dilva will play but what about KDB, who just did back to back 90s? Foden just played 90. Sterling should play some part alongside Mahrez, but what about Jesus who just did 90? feck my life.

Jesus the only one of my players who did nothing. Of course I captained him

Finally Foden pulled his finger out he's trolled me since I had him

Benching Greenwood justified so far

He is very hard to predict. Burned me a lot this season, but not this time.
As I said earlier, I'll never put him in my team ever again... Even if he's playing against a Sunday league team. He is not worth the hassle and for 10.9 you want someone you can at least Captain.

Next season is going to be very hard to predict. With the short break and maybe reduced amounts of fans.
I would expect City to come out strong. Maybe Aguero early on to pick if he is back. Pool maybe as well with a longer break, but not sure they are scoring that many.
Salah and TAA going to be crazy expensive. Our players going to be very expensive too. Can probably only afford one of our front 4 unlike this season.

50pts with Martial (c) Bruno, Greenwood n Trent still to play. Up to 18k OR.

And tonight I have sealed my work mini league and taken the 300 quid. Mini league rival captained Mahrez as he had to try something different to close that gap and it backfired for him massively. He had to try something different tbf to him.

I have had worse days. :)

It will be tougher yes.

I think we're looking at something like:

Fernandes - 10
Rashford (as midfielder) - 9
Martial (as striker) - 9.5
Greenwood - 7.5

Will be interesting to see if Rashy and Martial are swapped positions and Salah and Mane should probably be forwards. If they do that, especially the Liverpool lads, it will make the game a whole lot more exciting next year.

If Rashford is a midfielder then I think I will jump on him. If we get Sancho he will be expensive too. If not then Greenwood could be a good pick.
I don't think Bruno can keep up the attacking returns from a deeper role. Although pens could be a factor still.

Why would Fernandes be in a deeper role? Surely we'll line up something like the below if we get Sancho:

-----------------------DDG-------------------------
AWB-----Lindelof---Maguire-----Shaw
-----------------------Matic-----------------------
----------Bruno----------------Pogba---------
Sancho----------------------------------Rashford
---------------------Martial----------------------

Free hit activated. Tough gameweek to predict, but surely at least Dilva will play in his last EPL game at the Etihad? And KDB will be allowed to chase Henry's record?

I don't think it's that difficult at all. KDB, Silva and Sterling are all fairly sure to start. Mahrez should too. Jesus is the only one that you might feel is risky as he could conceivably play Sterling up front and Foden out wide to help him go for the golden boot. So yeah I would happily captain any of that lot bar Jesus and Foden. Sterling for me as I don't have KDB or Silva.

Made an arse of the free hit this week. Jesus captain, Sterling vice. Saiss and Tierney didn't start. Nothing from Lacazette.

As expected my 47 point lead has reduced to 15. Massive swing for those below me.

No Sterling or Doherty has hit me big time. I really need Bruno (c) to haul big tonight and Salah to do some good.

In need of points from Mane and TAA to top my league...how many do you think can I expect from these two?

Mane might get a goal but TAA will definitely concede. Chelsea are good going forward and Liverpool have suddenly turned shaky in defence since winning the league, which is understandable. You're best luck with him is a goal or an assist.

For the last match day, who do I go for between Salah and Mane?
Impossible to say with those two. I have Salah and need to strengthen elsewhere so the decision is made for me.

11 point lead over a rival. Both have Bruno, Greenwood, Mane and TAA tonight,

Point of difference is he has Maguire and I have Martial captain.

Really need Martial to have an animal game, at least double figures, as if I don't go into the last game with at least a 20 point lead, versus a free hit it'll be curtains I expect!

Deeper than our forwards was my point. Expecting more points from the forwards particular in terms of goals.

Maguire, Fernandes and Greenwood starting. Can't see us keeping a clean sheet but expecting at least one of Bruno and Mason to return.
Then need to pray captain Salah returns. IF he does, I think my ML will be wrapped up

After being rested in the FA cup, I was certain Pulisic would play today. I hope he stays on the bench as I got greenwood on the bench but knowing my luck, he'll come on last 5 minutes and get booked.

Not a great captain haul from Martial. United letting us all down.
I don't trust us vs Leicester so might bring in Mahrez for Bruno. Then Sterling too for a -4.
Take a risk near the end for City vs Norwich.
