Go for Firmino, Bellerin or Tom Ince. Put Davies in for Trippier though if you do go other way.

Got him already ;D

Had a feeling you did shortly after I posted ;D.

Son 8.0
Sterling 8.0
Mahrez 8.5
Pogba 8.0
Sane 8.5

Those are the ones that instantly come to mind. Then there's likes of B. Silva & Sigurdsson.

Torn: do I go Salah, Mane, Alli, Matic, Sane with Lacazette and Firmino

OR

Mane, De Bruyne, Alli, Matic, Zaha with Firmino and Lukaku??

It's good but you might consider spending a bit less on defence and a bit more in midfield.
Good Midfielders will always out score good defenders as they should for the difference in price.

Good point. Probably i will come up with something else

Cheers. Managed to get an extra 0.5 so went for Ozil. Got Sane too and would have picked Bernardo Silva but Man City have so many players, you never know who's gonna start. Plus Silva's pretty new to the league so that's another factor.

Got a front 6 of Salah, Ozil, Sane, Firmino, Lacazette and Jesus. Would have preferred Coutinho in there but what can you do.

Oh and I went with Chalobah in midfield, given the tendency of no mark players to score goals against us. You can thank me tomorrow.

Foster (elliot)

Azpil Kompany Daniels Mee (mariappa)

De bruyne Mane Salaha Ali (leftass-cheek)

Jesus Firmino ( quaner )


Yes thats the one.  I replaced Couhtino and King with DB and Firmino...might be stronger. No mancs so heres hoping that 50% Lukaku ownership is dismayed when Mo has him shielding the 3 cdm's.  Kane is a notoriously slow starter wont include him until December.

Well Mane Salah and Firmino never got out of second gear and thats probably 30 points after bonus.  This is gonna be another SSS situation. Yuge points.

Had Salah, Firmino and Can. Picked up a goal and clean sheet from the afternoon games. Probably high 40s with Jesus, De Bruyne, Davies and Lloris to come. Normally start shite so that's a decent enough start.

Aha just noted my 4.0 striker Quaner got 18 mins and an assist for 4 points. He was on the bench of course but still Immense. Was under the impression he'd not touch a pitch all year. #QuanerdwarfsSterlingallday

Horrible start here with 33 points and just Lukaku and Eriksen to go.

Did an honest mistake leaving Mounie on the bench but I'm already seeing I need some transfers!  ::)
