Fantasy Premier League 18/19

[James Peril]

Problem with City is knowing who is going to start. The amount of rotation they can do is unreal - having such a pricey player, you need guaranteed starters.

It’s only about points though. A player with 70% playing time and 200 points is still better than someone with 100% playing time and 150 points right? That’s the thing with Sterling, we saw his potential scoring last season even though playing less than certain «guaranteed» starters. With City-players you have to bite the bullet and hope for players starting, and if you don’t have them, pray they don’t score hat-tricks. The damage is limited now that KdB is out, I also thought about Sterling (low ownership) - but without the former he will not get as many easy chances in my opinion.

I am also rocking a team without Salah and Kane at the moment, which feels entirely wrong even with 80 points in the first GW. Mane/Sanchez will make room for Salah/Richarlison after this GW, then I will get Kane for Aguero as soon as Spurs is done with United at Old Trafford. Hopefully Salah/Kane picks up some injuries to make the selection easier

 

[CassiusClaymore]

Dr Gea
Shaw
Mee
Tarkowski
Mahrez
Salah
Bernado-Silva
Richarlison
Neves
Aguero (c)
Tosun

Wan Bissaka
Daniels
Speroni
Arnautovic

Team and subs going into tomorrow.

You're benching Arnautovic at home against Bournemouth? Ok

I'll quote you when Tosun dicks all over him.

(Or maybe not).

Neves would be the one I'd bench, but it's a game of opinions

+1

 

[Frank Grimes]

I was thinking of benching Zaha v Liverpool for Neves but if you're not starting Arnautovic at home to Bournemouth then he really shouldn't be in your squad.

I'm starting Zaha, he's always got a chance of points at home

 

[jungledrums]

Can’t decide on Mahrez or Bernardo Silva. Smart money says Silva I suppose but if Mahrez starts...

 

[Neo_Mufc]

I think both start and I would expect Mahrez to be taking FK's Corners and be a lot more creative at home than away.

Thanks, those were my thoughts too. Might stick with Mahrez for now.

 

[christy87]

Dumped auba for vardy, I think wolves could leak goals in the early part of the season

 

[stretford_oslo]

Some rumours going on about Aguero possibly being benched tomorrow

Appearently from some guardian journo on twitter.

I've made him my captain so that sounds about right.

 

[coolredwine]

Doubling up on City's defense with Mendy as Captain.

 

[The Purley King]

Does anyone know whether trippier is likely to start?
Last decision I have to make, him or jota

 

[klsv]

Going into this GW with

Ederson
Mendy - Robertson - Peltier - PVA
Salah - Mane - Richarlison
Aguero - Zaha - King

Only change compared to last round is I put on Peltier for Jota. Hoping Cardiff to get a clean sheet. Don't think Palace will be too easy for Liverpool, so keeping PVA and Zaha in. Should Pep bench Aguero, I'll swap him out for Auba and will never have a City attacker again.

 

[redIndianDevil]

will aguero start today?
https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/aug/17/manchester-city-kevin-de-bruyne-injury
Guardian is pretty reliable right? I have him as captain. time to change?

 

[Sarni]

So I have gone with

De Gea
Mendy Robertson Alexander-Arnold Davies
B. Silva Richarlison Alli Salah
Aubameyang Tosun

 

[CassiusClaymore]

Neves would be the one I'd bench, but it's a game of opinions

Yep.

 

[CassiusClaymore]

Gah! I'm sicking with Aguero captain and just hope that if he doesn't start he doesn't come on at all.

He'll be straight out for Auba next week too if that is the case.

 

[The Purley King]

I am planning auba for Aguero next week regardless. Just too much of a risk to keep Aguero imo

 

[Zedme]

Can I have the league code please?

 

[Culero]

Couldn't decide between Mane or Bernardo Silva to cover De Breuyne. Went with Bernardo in the end as it's home against Huddersfield, ffs Pep please don't rotate!

 

[Dirty Schwein]

That guardian article is just an opinion.

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

I've captained Mendy.

Wish me luck.

 

[Varun]

I've captained Mandy.

Wish me luck.

No amount of luck can help with a player who doesnt exist.

 

[extincti fugax hominum]

Changed the captain to Mendy from Salah at the very last second. Hope Palace get another clean sheet this weekend

Whaaat, you’re benching Arnautovic the striker and playing Neves the defensive midfielder!?!? Why even buy Arnautovic mate?

 

[Dirty Schwein]

Where the feck is peltier?

 

[klsv]

Where the feck is peltier?

Benched Jota for him just few hours ago

 

[Bocca9978]

Bit late to the party.
Do you guys mind a newbie joining the league?

 

[711]

Paralysed with indecision and fear this week. Maybe when I'm 100 points behind and obviously have to gamble I'll start enjoying it all a bit more.

 

[Varun]

Open to all caftards, feel free.

Cheers. That’s a big league!

 

[C3Pique]

Hart
Mendy/Luiz/Davies/Mee
Salah(v)/Richarlison/Bernardo
Aguero(c)/Firmino/Jimenez

All home games for my back 5, no transfers. Pep doesn't drop Aguero I hope!

 

[Ady87]

Hart
Robertson Rudiger Shaw
Salah Mahrez Rich Jota
Aguero(c) Firmino King

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

Watch this thread when Aguero is dropped

I bit the bullet and went for Jesus

 

[VeevaVee]

No Peltier. Had him as first option on bench. At least I'm not desperate for someone else not to play if they get the cs.

 

[C3Pique]

Who's got Kenedy?
