and this works only if NFO/BHA and FUL *do not* get a DGW BGW. If they do, then WC31 would smash WC29 and I'd have to take hits anyway in 33 or 34. So may as well take them now and WC31 with much better info ?

Youre right that 29-32 look great , but not so much BB33 or BB34. If Salah has to be on the bench in WC29, then I'll have to spend 3FTs getting in 3 NEW+CPL players in 32, leaving me with only 2FTs heading into 33/34. I would then anyway have to take a -8 to get a semi-decent BB team in either case.

Hi Jonny, fantastic thread ! Do you think WC30/31 is the best strategy if I'm planning to take a -8 in GW29 ? Currently have 6 + 2FTs + Dango. If Semenyo is a doubt then I'll have 7 confirmed starters before hits & in that eventuality I'm looking at WC29, BB32, FH33 / 34 & TC 34 / 33. Thoughts pls ?

That does lock you out of Trent unless you are ok with double Liv defence. Also this week are you starting Hall ? And benching which 8th attacker ?
December 28, 2024 at 4:43 PM
Get Kepa 😆 , playing a huge part in the 2.5m to 223K rank rise in 7 GWs ! Came in clutch for me the last 2 weeks with 17 pts after you said Review suggests Kepa !
December 28, 2024 at 2:48 PM
They are top of the defensive FDR for the next 6…BHA don’t have great def nos either.
December 6, 2024 at 11:35 AM
why not Kepa or Sanchez ?
December 6, 2024 at 10:16 AM
I’m going for Isak without a doubt. I’d actually got him in gw11 but then had to emergency sell him in 12 to buy Salah and Saka so I want to reverse that. Trent , although great, can wait for various reasons imo.

Interesting that review likes Kepa. Even more than Sanchez or Verbruggen ?

Sorry i misphrased. I have money for *either* of JSL to Isak OR Rico to Trent (but not both) funded by an Ederson downgrade to Verbruggen. Which transfer is a priority according to you, if any ?
December 5, 2024 at 4:01 PM
Great call on the keeper, Mark. Now you have 1 less problem to worry about while I'm forced into selling Ederson. Looking at Verbruggen + Rico to Trent / JSL to Isak. Thoughts ?
December 5, 2024 at 4:06 AM
Although, like Pep, I'm hoping MCI do figure out how to tighten up at the back. I dont want to sell Ederson at all, with their sea of green in the foreseeable future.
December 4, 2024 at 11:14 AM
No, i kept Ederson. Luke does think that Ederson should be back v NFO for his distribution, and I felt that Rico to Trent & Ederson to Verbruggen/Sanchez this coming week is a move I can make with more info & better prospects than their fix this week.
December 4, 2024 at 11:13 AM
haha damn, here we are talking about a GK trf being sub optimal but you go one ahead and do a sub GK trf ! fair play...unlucky to concede 3 goals from ~ 1 xg
December 4, 2024 at 8:58 AM
I’m v tempted to just stick it and do ederson to sanchez
December 3, 2024 at 5:33 PM
Pep Guardiola on Man City GKs situation: “Ederson is our number one, Stefan Ortega number two. But maybe Stefan will continue…”.

“We will see tomorrow and in the next games what happens”.

45% of Emma predictors predict a benching too
December 3, 2024 at 4:36 PM
Andy, this week would you start SL or Rogers ? I already have Cunha.
December 3, 2024 at 6:52 AM
while i don't disagree with you, i was contemplating taking out ederson for a hit for raya in gw11. i didn't cos had other fires and gk switches are sub optimal. raya would've repaid the hit in that week itself. all that said, i'll roll too. yet to make up my mind on the best gk replacement.
December 2, 2024 at 2:00 PM
fair, cheers Luke ! i'm gonna keep coming back here for your City lineup analysis
December 2, 2024 at 1:55 PM
Great stuff Luke, i was wondering why you had stopped your writeups only to realise they'd just shifted platforms !

Any early thoughts about Ederson regaining his place v NFO ?
December 2, 2024 at 12:06 PM
in the same boat as you re. Ederson. What are you thinking ? MCI have highest cs odds in gw14, but they are incapable of defending.
