uh oh, vice captains could play a big role in the next GW:

"Erling Haaland had fever and picked up knock against Salzburg"
~snip

and what the hell was he doing in Salzburg? playing for Chelsea on a loan? unbelievable on this level, they probably bought him few drinks, and he played for them, because they needed a win - and now knocked out from competition in his own team

joking a side, but BBC done a really shitty job to messing Salzburg and Dortmund
expected to see that headline changed when visited a link, but it is still Salzburg, great coverage by BBC

Good catch, I did not even notice it when reading the post first time around. Had a nice laugh about it now.

Liverpool in CL again with good performance. Salah with a goal and assist and there is still some time left. They will start playing in PL as well, it is just a matter of time. Spurs loosing and looking quite toothless, would get rid of all Spurs assets if I had any

"Erling Haaland had fever and picked up knock against Salzburg"

guess we'll have to keep an eye on Man City news until matchday. I seriously doubt Pep would risk the star of the team against Leicester City next saturday, but you never know...

Pep stated that he has a sprained ankle and that he may or may not be able to play. Lol I don't have time for mind games, I'm sure Halaand will be out this weekend, there's no reason to risk him getting another knock when you have another match-fit striker (Alverez) in the team. Leicester City are not in great form right .

Gentlemen and ladies Halaand has been sold until the next GW. I got Kane to play against Bournemouth.

I am not selling Haalnd for sure, too much money tied in him to make that switch and even if it weren't that means at least 2 free transfers which is usually not good unless your team is in perfect shape and you have no need for transfers elsewhere.

Pep is acting strange this season, both Haaland and Cancelo were sick and had temperature before last game and they both played so i don't know what to think anymore.

The problem is when sell a player to bring in him in next week, you'd lose some transfer budget, and I've also got Rodrigo on some knock.

Only way I'd sell Haaland is if I'm gonna go without him for the remaining two weeks after tomorrow, I really haven't made my mind up yet as to how to go about it, but I'll come up with something

Why would Pep take risk on Halaand against Leicester City? They'll be in the same position whether they win or lose. I didn't see Halaand's picture at the training ground today; it's an early kickoff, so he could come on in the second half if things aren't going well, but I don't see him starting; it's a 50-50 bet right now. I'm trusting Kane to score a brace tomorrow.

I understand the risk, but I would rather lose a few pounds than lose a point in my current position. I already have Oleksandr Zinchenko on the bench who is injured; I may have to risk -4 next GW to replace him.

not selling as well, and he is captain, it is important to pick good vice-captain at this point
if he is out for few weeks, than I would consider having him out, or this same situation, but City on 5+ points advantage to others, but now, Arsenal is on top, playing home, and Pep will try hard to win against Leicester, maybe Haaland will enter in second half, if things are not going well

I can bring in Kane or Salah without needing to sell Kane, I'll probably just have Andreas as my first sub, he's got a decent fixture vs Everton, and Kane is got Liverpool next week, while a fit Haaland would come in handy, so why have one when you can have them both ?

Is still all a probability for me, so I'm not fully sure yet, but Haaland is likely staying put.

I would advise you against giving him the handband; having a 75% fit player on your team is already a risk; making him captain is an additional risk for a guy who may only play 30 minutes or none at all.

I currently have Salah and Kane on my team, and I was thinking of selling Jesus and VDJ to bring in Halaand. I want to go back to a front of Kane and Halaand, and having Jesus and VDJ makes me sick.

I'm gonna keep an eye on the bookmakers. Surely some uk whales will have some info about Haaland prior to the game and the starting XI so they'll throw some money in some markets (total goals or ML) and we'll know whether he plays from the start or not

Just wondering this, when is the last minute that we are allowed to change our draft for the week? is it until the first match of the week start? I havent had any time to look at my draft but gosh with Haaland looking potentially to not start for the week means I have to tweak abit for my draft. I guess KDB will be holding the captain armband for the week, this guy always delivers the best possible result for City

[Harkorede]

Man City vs Leicester is an early kickoff, 12:30 pm, so the transfer deadline is set at 11am, that's exactly an hour, thirty before City's so there's no way you can get the official lineup in time to influence your decision.

[tomahawk9]

Well, i'm keeping Haaland on the team even though i'm sure he'll get benched today. Man City ml odds went from 1.36 to 1.42 since my last post, i can hardly draw conclusions from this about Haaland, could just be regular movement in the bookies during matchday.

hoping for De Bruyne (C) haul today

Yeah i was gonna go with G.Jesus but he's been dogshit recently so I'd rather go with KDB  (inb4 jesus hat trick)

haha, it could end up with Jesus scoring several today, since I also let him go week ago
Haaland is still in, not sure will he play or not, but 2 transfers is simply too much at the moment, since he is questionable

not much time till line-ups, and after that we will know more about that, but somehow I do not think he will start, maybe getting in later if things are not going in right direction

Line ups are official and there isn't Haaland in first 11,  sort of expected. What isn't expected is Foden on the bench. I mean he is their top player and this is second game in the row he isn't starting, that one will hurt my ranking probably.

Bench to the rescue in this GW seems like a play, hopefully my guys are up to the task and Salah finally delivers.

Funny how you guys underrated my information before the deadline. I sold Halaand because I was too confident in my choice. The wisest move I ever made was to go get Kane. There is no need to risk him against a team that should easily win without him given that his condition makes it likely that he won't be available for the next game either. The World Cup will soon arrive, man!

I note that you chose one of the worst starting lineups with Foden and Halaand. I'm hoping today's bench does you a tremendous favor. True believers 

[tomahawk9]

Well that's some good news for people who didn't have Foden 

the bad news (at least for me) is that Ward, my bench GK, is having yet another a monster peformance. I might actually start Ward in the next GW and bench Hugo Lloris :/

The wisest move I ever made was to go get Kane.

Kane will start today for sure. But Tottenham have a crucial game next week in the Champions League, so I wouldn't be surprised if Conte decides to sub him off early (regardless of the result), and not just Kane but a few other key players as well

First half ended without goals so now the perfect thing and hopefully logical for Pep would be to bring Foden on. Than Foden scores a couple goals and everything is all right in my FPL world 

Kane will play for sure but he has a though fixture and Spurs aren't exactly flying lately. I am happier with my Salah choice for now. Probably will not be after the games finish.

I wouldn't be surprised if he brings in Foden and Mahrez. J. Grellish is such a waste, and the game needs Mahrez to free up KDB in the midfield. That's the only way they'll get anything out of this game, but I doubt Foden will score.

I have Ward on my bench as well, but I don't regret starting Pickford. Conte takes game after game, and there's no way he'll take Kane off unless he scores a brace in the first half.

Edit: KDB scores!!

How do you feel now about that wisest move? Have to make fun of you now while my team still looks good. Have a feeling I will be down after Liverpool match as well.

Have Salah as captain and if he delivers, this could be very good for my rank after Wilson monster haul. But I already know I am set up for disappointment.

[tomahawk9]

What a gameweek. I've got 50 points so far! Almiron, KDB, Trippier, Trossard, returns everywhere (and I almost dropped trossard before the Man City game lol) If it wasn't for Shitty Lloris this woulda been a perfect saturday, ffs he's useless!

Have Salah as captain and if he delivers

big IF. Man, we've talked about Salah plenty of times here, you know what's gonna happen tomorrow 

The wisest move I ever made was to go get Kane.

heh
