So I completely went against the grain and swapped in for a player no one would. Since Kane is injured and there's a shortage of the elite expensive strikers, I thought it would be no loss if I swapped out Kane for Werner. New manager bounce, Tuchel being German but then I realized Werner hasn't scored in the past 11 games and Tuchel didn't start him in the last game. Kind of regretting it now. Should have went for DCL seeing as Everton is at home to Newcastle. Big risk. Let's see if Werner lets me down again.

Is it stupid sticking with Kane?
Will probably play with one striker until he’s back, one of Antonio/Bamford. I don’t really see any forwards who’s tempting to get and I’ll lose 0.4 by selling Kane as well.

Not gonna overcomplicate things this week. Gundogan in for Raphinha after his nice parting gift last week. Digne is next I have my eye on but don't think it's worth a -4 this week as defenders all have good games, and wanna see how Reece James fits in to Tuchels plans

Is Kane to DCL the common consensus
On paper it looks wise.
Kane out for two weeks minimum.
Dcl has had a full game back, has Digne, Richarlison and Hames playing around him and has woeful Newcastle.


I'm weighing up a late-4 for filler mid to Salah. And bencing Bamford.
Salah is about 6 league games without a goal, but scored two v us in the cup and was unlucky to get one ruled out v Tott and they're a threat again.

I was deliberating Gundogan v Salah then remembered that Gundogan got rested early in the last game. Divide that by Pep equals Gundogan benched.

So Salah it is.

I think Salah is going to explode soon and it'll be when you least expect it.
Pep said Gundo will start so I've captained him.
Very much agree with your second line. They just battered tott away so west ham while looking a hard game i could see being a 3-1 job

Never trust Mou. He said Son was out vs us.. and well, the less said the better.

Then again. It's a lot of money sitting on the bench.. so i'd still be tempted to sell tbh

Even if he starts, it's hard to say how many minutes Gundo will get.

Anyone else tempted by Bruno (C)? I think he's due some points. Also, Oliver is reffing.

I've changed captain to DCL. Worried about Pep hooking players early.
I've got him, but would never captain.
He's generally a one goal merchant isn't he.
Two times he's disproved me, one hatrick and one 2 goaler, but has scored 11, and 10 of them were in the first 9 game weeks.

No reason to bring him off early again, he had a 30min rest in the last game.
You feel Sheff Utd will be less a pushover than WBrom..might only be 4-0 ;)

I’ve got Werner already and through sticking to my one FT per week rule, he’s survived this week over Zouma.

Ive just had a last minute check and I’m half-tempted to captain him too!!!!

:confused::confused:

Cancelo in it is for a hit. I think I get burned, but not going to be alone and he should play the next game.

Many rivals got him etc.

Mate I'll be happy with just a goal the way my captain picks have gone lately.

Would you rather play Cresswell vs Pool or Bamford vs Leicester? I'm so unsure about this last decision :wenger:

I'm in and confirmed as

Mendy
Stones Dias Justin
Salah Bruno Son Grealish Gundo (c)
Watkins DCL

On paper that looks epic, but we all know things never pan out as you'd like!
All the best!

Ha. Perhaps.

Although the next GW is only a few days away tbh.. who knows what the fraud will do.

It was annoying seeing him going off, but at least he'd scored 2.

The more worrying moment was seeing Laporte hanging about on the sideline and the clock on about 56, nooo. Luckily it wasn't for either Stones or Dias!

Yes it would be the more logical decision. But Bamford was absolute shit in the last weeks and maybe Pool goes back to the non scoring route.

But i think i will go with Paddy. Last chance for him.
Liverpool scored 2 at our place and just battered Tottenham away.
I'd take that as sign they're worryingly back on the goal trail.

Let's hope WHam can get into that ridiciulously weak centre back combo.

DCL and Salah in for Kane and Soucek for -4. Captained Salah over Gundogan in the end. C'mon West Ham and SU!

Possibly but they’ve also always been game raisers.

Also form over fixtures, although maybe that doesn’t count for defenders playing teams likely to score. Decent chance of an assist though

feck it, I've taken a gamble and made DCL captain. Last time he was my captain, he scored two at Fulham.

I have gone DCL captain. Safe captains over last 4 to 5 weeks haven't worked out.

Why is Guardiola such a bald bastard. My captain Sterling, Mahrez and Cancelo all on bench.

Pep Roulette :lol: I'm chuffed I don't have neither Sterling, Cancelo or Stones. Only Dias and Gundogan.

Big for my work league.

Fecking hell. I worried about the Pep rotation and I've been stung. Cancelo and Stones benched and I have Dallas and KWP (who is injured on my bench).

DCL also blanking.

-12 hit so far looks to have fecked me even further :lol:

Stones and Cancelo benched. Captain DCL blanking. Once again it’s one step forward last week and two steps back this week in my mini league.

Both of my defenders benched. It could be worse, lot of people captained Sterling.

It's never good to rely on Pep, it's seems KDB and Dias are the only players that are nailed on.

The fraud strikes again.. double defence benched for me.

Only player I'd ever feel comfortable captaining from City is KDB.
