I doubt I'll risk it, but it's tempting Don't know why but have a weird feeling that Haaland will be rested and it'll be one of those weird games (that City always seem to have at least once a season) where they have 30 shots and don't score but lose to a single deflected shit going in (football manager style game) and Gerrard uses it to stay in the role until the World Cup.

I have a feeling Haaland will be rested too, but not enough of a feeling to actually risk not captaining him Don't agree with the rest though.

bickster Posted September 1, 2022 Moderator Share Posted September 1, 2022 I might be out on a limb here but I think Haaland will start. He's been subbed in every game bar Newcastle because they needed him on the pitch to the end. He came off after 68 mins last night, job done, feet up He'll play from the start They will batter us senseless and he'll come off again in a similar fashion after about 65-70 minutes and then Alvarez will come on and continue the humiliation. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly. They are away to Sevilla on Tuesday followed by Spurs next Saturday though so there's a chance he doesn't start against us. With him going off early though there's a chance he could start 3 games in 7 days as he's only young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the five matches so far, he’s only had possession or touches of the ball 105 times and they were almost exclusively in the central strip from the half-way line to the opposition goal. He’s not expending the energy of defenders running the full length of the pitch and back all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted September 2, 2022 Moderator Share Posted September 2, 2022 Gundogan to Bilva for me today as he'll definitely go up in value tonight. I'm a little nervous doing a sideways move which is as likely to backfire as it is to work out, but I think in the end it's all about ... Plus I get 0.6 ITB and a player I think is less likely to be rotated for Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is available, but I would actually probably have him as first sub this GW. To bring in Isak, I'm maxed out at 4.4 for the DEF swap. No striker under 7.0 really appeals over the next few GWs as Mitrovic has a couple of tough fixtures coming up. Maybe Mbuemo would be the other option, so really it is a swap VVD for Isak in my starting 11, and replacing a loaned out player with Fofana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ward and Leicester have been dreadful. I don't think either will keep a clean sheet but Arsenal at least have some chance. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
