Discussion 2024/25 EPL Dream Team Discussion: GW13 starts 30th Nov @ 6am AEST [BRI v STH]

Too unknown for me. He's always been Pep's 'Go to guy', playing as a utility. If he was to play an attacking role, he'd be a good bet. But we just don't know, and Pep is likely to change his role depending on opponent.
But with Diaby and Szoboszlai in the same price range, I don't think it's a risk that needs to be taken.

Thanks. Price and the fixture was the key consideration to ideally off.set the Pep risk and use the cash from Foden to maybe help the backline or turn Tonali into Szoboszlai, since his position looks to be my most expendable come RD3.

I thought Foden would be given the No.10, but looks like his role might be 'Super sub'.
He can still do damage, and with the extra time, will see a lot of time, but at current price, I'm giving him a miss too.

Even though Mahrez and Gundy left, there's still no clarity on City players. Alvarez will likely be used more IMO.

Walker could be a good way in to City, short term. If he starts today, he'll likely get a rest in the midweek Super Cup, then get a game next weekend.

FPL is set, 0.5m ITB. RDT is not 100%, but I'm liking this structure. Main dilemma is Diaby or Szoboszlai. 330,000 ITB.

 

[Connoisseur]

Structure has remained the same with a few names changing.

Pedro, Tonali, Eze, Foden and Torres are the players that keep changing. Hard to move away from the Haaland and Salah structure up front as I am having trouble deciding between which two of Pedro, Richarlison and Mudryk, if I was to switch. Optiong for the highest priced option should give the most flexibility and I can switch to the best breakeven come RD3 if necessary. Not confident of putting the cash to good use in the mid/def if I go for two of the aforementioned.

Must stop tinkering!

First twitter leak is that Rico Lewis is starting for City

Wasn't unexpected. Might prefer Walker's experience for the Super Cup.

City struggled to keep a CS late last season. Wonder if it's worth keeping Stones in FPL?
Probably will, but won't be getting Ederson in DT.

It's twitter, but I mainly posted it for City defence caution.

With no Dias it is looking a minefield.

Rumours that Stones is out as well.

Predicted Man City line-up from the Blue Moon forum:-

Predicted line-up: Ederson, Walker, Akanji, Gvardiol, Ake, Rodri, Kovacic, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Grealish, Haaland.

Stones benched… hmmm. Think I’ll just go Stones+Onana to Shaw+Johnstone and bank another 0.5m.

Andy is reliable. Cheers for that.

Suddenly Man City mids look more nailed than defenders (this week)

Locking this away. Had been on Salah for the past week to be over the field of players on price and allow for money in the bank to come in to correct. KDB provides similar options to what I was looking to achieve.

Dumped Stones for Udogie, then decided to sheep Estupinan. I think I got the deal done, then the site crashed. LOL

Ballsy. Super Cup will mess with your head as to whether your trio of Cityzen attackers start again next week.

Late change

Gabriel > Saliba because of some late YT news that is unconfirmed

I was close to throwing my hat in the ring and BB a couple of days ago so I've had a crack and will see what happens.

Stones not even on the bench, saw he was in a lot of teams.

Similar to FPL. Going to start hoping for a Man City goal fest and see what happens.
