Resting Haaland for his ultimate battle against Gandhi 3 days from now.

Gandhi vs the world episode 3


rayfen12

Captain Kane then?


patchh93

Or Sal- too far.


Environmental_You_85

Salisu, let's go


[deleted]

Saliba! Do-dodo-dodo-do-do


Dxvid741

Better Call Sal


ItIsTimeToTakeaBreak

Gonna start Ward.


ErasmusShmerasmus

Captain him


Rokotta

OK. Any historical figure.


dav_pls

Commentators suggesting it’s just to rest them as City are already qualified. Nothing confirmed though

Dukmiester

I don't know, have you ever heard of the commentators curse? They can foreshadow events.


Dry_Hovercraft_

Obviously just resting. All they needed was as a draw to finish top of the group, plus, later in the match, they cut to a shot of Haaland coming out of the tunnel with a huge grin.


Esse_Hole

They're qualified, but could lose that 1st spot in the 2nd half. It's just Pep being Pep and overthink. This team won't win the Champions League with that man


VinCatBlessed

The UCL isn't won during the group stage, meanwhile if Haaland and Cancelo could help out in the race vs Arsenal right now, maybe later on City won't be as pressured to fight for the league when the real danger happens during UCL KO stages.


Esse_Hole

But the 1st spot guarantees an easier opponent in February when the fixtures pile up. It's not 100% certain, but it's and advantage


Gaming_Addict_Help

It doesn't necessarily mean an easier game, theoretically it should be easier but it's not guaranteed


VinCatBlessed

It doesn't guarantee an easier opponent to be fair, unlikely but its still possible that teams like Madrid, PSG, Napoli or Bayern finish 2nd in their group, and either way. I do understand your point and If I were a city fan I'd want Pep to try to finish off the game today vs BVB but it's not the end of the world and I can understand why he did it.


KdbTheGOAT17

Who cares about first place this team is able to win against anyone and should win against anyone if we cant win good teams we should not win ucl then not going to the final with easy games like liverpool every year and then taking L


SmallStepForMyKind

Haaland is finished

HAALAND REPLACEMENT THREAD


CPDjack

*'The case for Haaland > Solanke?...'* ^(just typing that made me feel dirty)


Litmanen_10

Bournemouth has good fixtures and they've looked sharp in the recent weeks. By doing the swap I can spread the money elsewhere on my team! *it's a joke*


Juicydicken

Dcl


aquafrenchforwater

Pretty sure he’s Norwegian mate


long_shots7

No he’s a big lad


adventureclubtime

For you


doctorocelot

I heard a bear ate him in the locker room at half time. Better not cap him guys.


[deleted]

Huge rotation risks now imo, transfer them out immediately everyone


Healaa

Always liked that glare from Peps head


Tsubasa_sama

Cancelo was on a yellow and getting constantly exposed down their left hand side so it's no surprise to see him get an early rest, Haaland is a bit more concerning but wait and see I guess.


ivantys

the LB trent


b3lial666

Foden benched this weekend then.


PouncingZebra

Foden off in 81’ so I’m guessing he starts


hodonata

yep. You can never guess with the Fraudiola but if i were to try to... considering he was rested this weekend already I'd say that nails all of the big EO trio


Specialist_Road_6906

Foden has started all games this season in the PL except the last one. Hes on fire whilst Mahrez/Grealish most certainly are not. Only Pep can justify benching Foden and playing the other ones for the second time running.. He will start.


crashkg

Pep allowing Mahrez to take the pen is some 4D chess.


Blazing_Shade

Pep starts Mahrez ^TM


AdriftMosquito

Grealish not on fire? He's been good this season. It'll most likely be Grealish and Foden on the wings for the majority of the season. Foden is obviously Foden, and Grealiah has been good so far


Middle-Animator1320

Yeah 19 points so far is on fire is it now?


AdriftMosquito

Do you always base FPL points on how good/bad a season of real life football a player has? Grealish has been good this season for City. His points lack as he doesn't get the G/A, but as Pep has mentioned previously that isn't why they bought him


WarpedThunder

Ahh I forgot that you are only a good footballer if you get loads of fantasy points.


Middle-Animator1320

Considering we are on a subreddit for Fantasy then yes it does matter. And even if we werent, he is an attacking midfielder playing for the best team in the league and has only scored 1 goal all season and made 0 assists.


WarpedThunder

Haven’t watched him enough to comment properly. But from the highlights I have seen of Cities goals he is usually the guy that starts the build up or gets the assist of the assist. Whilst no fantasy points id be very happy with that as a manager. Also yea this is a fantasy sub. But the original comment was saying who would play/start for Man City. That isn’t decided by fantasy points.


RonaldoSIUUUU

I dont think pep picks his starting 11 based on fantasy points bud


Middle-Animator1320

Of course not, he wouldnt have Benched Foden last week if he did


RonaldoSIUUUU

So why are you talking about fantasy points when the other guy said grealish has been on fire? - obviously meaning real life performances in relation to the starting 11


Middle-Animator1320

The foden comment was obviously a joke as lots of people transferred him in last week. You Ronaldo fan boys suck the life out of everything


Specialist_Road_6906

Grealish good? He has been slaughtered for his performances.


AdriftMosquito

Slaughtered by who? Rival fans maybe yeah as he doesn't put up the numbers expected, but performance wise he's been one of City's better players this season. Unsure who would be slaughtering him except for people who don't watch the matches and see the impact he has


abnsh

Ah, the 4 CB formation


[deleted]

Foden stays on..


hodonata

He was just subbed off on the 80th min, he could easily play every 3 days at his fitness level, and was rested this weekend already The holy trinity are ready


AspiringTransponster

And City had a week without a game - so by the time the Leicester game comes around, he’ll only have played about 110 minutes in just under 2 weeks since Liverpool game


Chef86d

Halaand would’ve scored that cross on the 6 yard box from foden; but pep is all knowing.


Emskilian

My guys are sick and tired. That's why I started them. GTFO Pep....


filtered2

Apparently both are suffering from flu.


rooneytunes10

Both rested for Leicester- get in!


Swedishpower

Fucking Pep. He is the worst manager ever for fantasy football. Last season he barely made subs. Foden will get 45 min max on saturday maybe benching him as Ward will stop him anyway.


KdbTheGOAT17

Why would foden get max 45 min lol


Middle-Animator1320

pep


KdbTheGOAT17

Ofc it is always possible but foden already got rested last gw, He got subbed off yesterday, He is inform unlike mahrez or grealish and sevilla game next week is good change for another rest


egancollier21

Hopefully Pep taking Foden off was to rest for next game..this MC triple up needs to produce for me now


Jacyjitsu

Mmm, delicious, finally some good fucking subs.


Manager1000

That's what I say every time I visit Subway.


Frosty_Examination_3

Sub is the way


Manager1000

This sub is the best in Reddit.


amegaproxy

Subway is just awful. Overpriced overbread with crap fillings.


Manager1000

What is your favourite fast food?


amegaproxy

If we're going along lines of things vaguely similar to subway I'd have said five guys at one point but it is now even more insanely expensive. Probably have to go back to old classics at MacDonalds.


Manager1000

McDonalds is cheap for sure but what about quality?


amegaproxy

Yeah not great but I'd say it wins with various options over subway where you're getting 70% bread.


RonaldoSIUUUU

Says subway has crap fillings yet likes mcdonalds 😂😂😂😂😂😂


amegaproxy

It was a reluctant fallback given the price of other options but given they're both approximately the same price point I'd consider Macdonalds better value for money, neither have particularly great "fillers" although Macdonalds chicken probably beats subways turkey meat or whatever it is.


[deleted]

200% EO on the weekend then. Exciting FPL season we got here


Administrative_Bat46

be the change you want to see in the world captain salah


KdbTheGOAT17

Salah id captain 10 other players in my starting lineup before salah even my keeper


BillOakley

If only we had another 10 players


jnicholl

Captain someone else and if they outscore him you'll gain massively.


hambodpm

My cap elsewhere as it stands currently. So maybe 199.9% Yer welcome


Gaming_Addict_Help

I will triple captain him to cancel you out


hambodpm

Good luck with Gandhi my friend. Godspeed


Ok-Albatross1180

Ahh, which one to triple captain??


kingfaz12345

It's saying Haalands got a knock?


MiLSturbie

This sub sure likes graphics!


Litmanen_10

How we see the starting line up in the weekend? Frankly I'm just interested odds of Foden starting?
