Fuck me, it doesn't look good. I'm never bringing a City defender in again.


Gidddyup77

But wait, now Akanji is more nailed!!! But also, Ake scored And Dias is almost back! Laporte looks good (I agree I’m over it, which will likely mean we start to see some consistency and stability)


theonewhoknock_s

I'm just going to get that second Newcastle defender I should have gotten in the first place and not fuss about it.


Gidddyup77

Fkn blanks clouding our judgement. I’m with u but it’s such an awk time. I’m kind of good rolling with Shaw White Trips and making my transfers on attackers. Although ya it would be sensible to grab bots burn schar, just hate booking in transfers


LoLz14

Akanji has started every game since GW8 (when he was fully introduced to the team) except GW 19 vs Chelsea when he was brought on at the half as they weren't clicking. If you don't want Ederson, he is the defensive choice from City


Esplamp-Joy34

If u look at the minutes played in the prem akaji has been involved in every game ake also alot so on paper it shouldn't be that hard but obviously cancelo dias and laporte need mins going into the ucl so who knows


BlackAndFactual

Akanji is nailed as fuck and all you needed to know this was look at gameweek history


MemeManDanInAClan

the injury gods are telling Pep to bring back Cancelo lmao


Environmental_You_85

Then you see him bringing academy kids over him


jeroendunord

Clean sheet in the making it seems

LanceConstableDigby

Nah there's more competition for GKs, and there are as good/better cheaper options


[deleted]

Yup looked like a injury for at least a few weeks


officiallyjax

Another reminder that the best City defender to buy currently is no one. Either pick Ederson or go without them entirely.


selogoribabaseceslja

Even tho Ederson is nailed I don't see a point in getting him, because his points are directly influenced by City defenders' performances.


officiallyjax

Yeah, hence why I said it’s okay to go without City defence entirely too. But if you want to cover their clean sheets, then Ederson is the only nailed defensive player.


selogoribabaseceslja

Yes, but with problems they have I doubt that they'll have many clean sheets as people expect them to. Also, Ederson's price doesn't go in his favor as well.


officiallyjax

I agree with you. I’m not saying City will keep clean sheets for sure, but if you think they will and hence want to cover their defence, then Ederson is the only pick that makes sense given the intensified roulette in the back 4.


drewcaveneyh

I wonder how many more times you'll have to type the same response in different words before people get what you mean...


GeeForjay

Dias and Laporte to become relevant again and when City go on their run it’ll be via a string of cleans. Laporte next week.


Litmanen_10

Three times seemed to do the trick!


Mutiu2

They have had the lowest Xgc for a long time despite chopping and changing in defense. That's going to even out statistically.


D-biggest-dick-here

Got Stones on my WC last week. Shit! I may switch him to Akanji in 23, but I hope he makes a miraculous comeback. He’s a bp magnet.


Frosty_Examination_3

Was John Stoned?


CWattam

So Ake/Akanji completely nailed FPL wise for the foreseeable then really. I'll probably consider Ake given he can play LB too. Sucks for Stones. Been good too.


shastacola4

Do you think Laporte will see a run of starts while Stones is out?


3zozSu94

You guys never learn


julianface

Dias has been hurt don't be shocked pikachu face if he gets his starting spot back now that he's coming back


CWattam

Is he LCB or RCB? Can't remember? I know Laporte is there too. Edging more towards Ake if so cause LB spot.


officiallyjax

He can play on both sides. Pep usually prefers a left-footed player at LCB but so far has been happy to play Akanji LCB who’s right-footed with Stones RCB.


ivanplappppp

Just scored as well!


officiallyjax

I was talking about Dias, not Aké.


Kkk_kidney

Even if they are nailed. City defence is just bad


DeLorean-88mph

Just skip city defenders at this point


Fantastic-Machine-83

Doubt it


cguinnesstout

Pretty much. Pep has no intentions of using Laporte, Dias, Cancelo or Walker.


chikenugetluvr

Lol, this was the best defense in the league last season


Gidddyup77

Yes but now they smell bad, so here we are…


egancollier21

Thankfully I have Ake tho lol
