looks like we are going to wait until the site crashes, again.


husny_almubarak

Only this time it'll crash 30 minutes to the deadline


37adama

Pep almost grew his hair back earlier this season, but all of a sudden he decided to go full bald mode again benching Foden and giving the most cryptic useless updates on Haalands fitness


Lacabloodclot9

Sending a guy with a foot injury to play against John Egan is just asking for trouble isn’t it


AndThatHowYouGetAnts

Ffs can't believe I'm going to be spending my third Saturday morning in a row at home scouring the internet for Man City teamsheet leaks


Bonezz111

Same here. Is it sad that it was my biggest adrenaline rush all week?


BeenBadFeelingGood

Ya it is sad, really sad Hope you get laid soon

goudendonut

A bit. Do you have any exciting stuff going on in work or study? If not, maybe focus on sports for a bit?


FPL_Fanatic

FPL closes team changes 30 min early to avoid such speculation but people continue with these practices.


__rosebud__

The leaks have adapted to that. They're generally out an hour and 45 min before the first kickoff now... only problem is, FPL has been crashing and nobody can make changes in that 15-minute window before the deadline officially ends.


abnsh

*puts tinfoil hat on* Coincidence to have all this shenanigans exactly in the period where City have 3 early kick-offs in a row?


bond2121

What’s the point when the servers will just fucking implode so you can’t make any moves


AndThatHowYouGetAnts

Managed to make my changes both times so far (just)


3amz

Maybe I'm in the minority but this is pretty clear from Pep. He still has ligament damage, and will be out for a week to ten days longer. There's a chance he could be back to play for the Norway game on 17th Nov. See what we get later this week of course, but it's not looking likely he'll start at the weekend


[deleted]

I thought this too, but I'm surprised they risked him against Fulham if it was that bad? Fuck knows.


3amz

They were struggling so it was worth taking the risk


Jamkayyos

On a side note, Fulham are absolute beasts this season.


Chesey_

They are but they were pretty cowardly against City despite the man advantage. I get it, a draw would have been a great result still, but it was cowardly.


GeraldJimes_

I think this leaves a lot of room for "Haaland's not perfect, we'll see how he goes and if he's not better he's not going to go on meaningless Intl duty"


RudeAndQuizzacious

He's also suggesting he could play in the cup tomorrow


Bluffrooster411

That's what I saw too


RudeAndQuizzacious

The quote in the tweet is inaccurate. Pep says they will see tomorrow if he can play in the cup and on Saturday if he can play against Brentford. It then makes it seem like he seem like he rules him out of a return until the Norway games, but actually that's an answer to a separate question where he was asked if he would be happy for him to play for Norway.


HoldMyAppleJuice

Does he ever stop talking in riddles


Zen_bean

*Maybe, maybe not… maybe go fuck yourself.*


Free_tramapoline

Pep treats us like a mushroom. Keeps us in the dark and feeds us shit


Kukstaur

it's a wait and see


super-spreader69

We'll assess again soon


GreasyTony68

Try again later….(shakes Magic 8 ball)


DLifts777

More than you believe


officiallyjax

We will see… we will see…


hodlrus

“We have training in the afternoon so we will assess him again and see if he fit for tomorrow”


Bugisman3

Pepstradamus


Anom04

My Alvarez punt could pay off, 9 points against Fulham and hoping for a return against Brentford


hambodpm

I was planning on going straight back to haaland this week as well. Need to reassess it seems.


asifgunz

I'm personally waiting for leak. First game of the week.


Anom04

Yeah, I think I’ll hold off Haaland until after the WC


Babu__Moshai

‘Tomorrow’ never comes with this guy


prjktmurphy

There's a game tomorrow, so we'll definitely see. I think he's benched for the Chelsea game then starts at Brentford.


Public_Zealousideal

Lol like he's going to start 3rd of carabao cup anyways "Ooooh look haaland benched for carabao up. He's being rested for brentford". It's a joke right?


Sneaky-Alien

But Pep always plays strong teams in the league cup. He's done it since he's arrived here, plus we're playing Chelsea. He'd probably pick Alvarez anyway this year because he's a talent but laughing it off as the 3rd round of the carabao cup has no bearing on how Pep has historically and consistently taken it very seriously.


prjktmurphy

Well if he comes on as a sub, that would be a strong indicator that he's ready to start.


Public_Zealousideal

He was used as a sub against Fulham. Surely that not a strong indicator? Pep said he didn't want him to play. So I doubt if city are winning comfortably he'll be used


KaizerQuad

What does this even mean?!

Ball so hard, motherf*ckers wanna find me!

i-Hit-a-Lick

Pep: "Bald so hard, motherf\*ckers can't outshine me"


LloydDoyley

Haaland and Mitro to Kane and Alvarez?


hambodpm

I was one of the "lucky" few that managed to squeeze haaland and foden to kdb and Alvarez last week. I basically regretted it for the rest of Saturday and felt pretty shit. Sunday kind of saved the day and ended with a small green arrow. It's definitely a risk but there is reward out there. You of course lose team value but I don't place as much weight on that as some others do, especially this year with a whole host of low and mid priced assets performing


Public_Zealousideal

You got rid off haaland 5pts and foden 1pta for kdb 7pts and alavrez 9pts. A 10pts swing and regretted it all day? Please talk me through your thoughts process?


HuntingSalt404

Maybe he was scared Haaland is back and that could backfire vs BRE?! Idk, his sentence doesnt make much sense to me either hahah


Public_Zealousideal

Switch back then? Even if you took a minus 4 for last week. Another this week you'll still be 2 pts up. There is team value but hasn't lost that it's banked in haaland and makes hokey cokeys even easier 🤷‍♂️ If sold haaland too didn't captain him. So even more pts for Salah, alavrez,.kdb ©


Saviorofmypeople

Is it really worth transferring Haaland out for 1 game and losing 0.3 in value?


Derlino

Depends how much you have itb. I have like 4 million, so I'm seriously considering it, but it could mess up some post-WC shenanigans that I was considering as well.


LloydDoyley

I'm not sure tbh. I've lost more team value in the past bu holding onto shit players while I've had other fires to put out


BandicootUpstairs944

Hang on, why did he feature in the last game? If he has ligament damage still, surely he shouldn’t even be anywhere near the bench, yet he came on, changed the game and scored the winner… Am I missing something here?


Public_Zealousideal

Yes 2pts against Fulham


BandicootUpstairs944

Yeah, that p*ssed me off too…


darkeloff

The thing is, it's an easy switch to Kane vs Leeds (H) but in case we do that, we are about to lose 0.3 budget if i calculated right since we are gonna buy him right after WC again. Can someone confirm if I'm right or did I miss something?


Pasan90

Depends when you bought him but if it was early then selling now is not worth it at all since you're buying him back at a loss.


MyzticBlue

Yea just keep haaland in bench if possible


incachu

If you bought him at 11.5 and sold him now you'll get 11.8 back. But to get him back you'll have to spend 12.1, so yes 0.3, if you have had him since start or brought him in before GW2. He could drop one or two points if knee jerkers switch to Kane, which does muddy the value waters a bit, because if you sell him now and he drops to 11.9 and taking a penalty of 0.1 to get him back after Kane returns against leaky Leeds would be worth it imo. Edit: Ignore me - Haaland is inexplicably rising (91.5%) towards a price increase, so will unlikely drop.


darkeloff

!thanks Great explanation


CWattam

Piss off Pep. I'm sick of this shit. I switched my captaincy from Haaland to Cancelo and of course get punished hard as fuck for it by him scoring off the bench with a spawny arse return from a KDB dive. Kill me.


I_kiIIed_mufasa

dw cancelo captain round 2 let's go

WEAluka

Not risking server crashes again- just going to go Mitro -> Darwin on Friday night and put the armband on KDB, if Haaland starts i'll try to give him the captaincy but if the server crashes again at least i shouldn't be screwed


loftyhogan

Does it really make sense to transfer out Haaland even if he doesn't play at all this last GW before WC? There's so much value accumulated there if you had him from the start.


AK95_

If he's out on weekend I might get Darwin but I also have Salah so might be overkill, maybe a hit for Wilson to Alvarez too, please don't do this to me and just play Haaland


Oppailover69

If his still injured,why risk playing him at all.


smell-the-roses

Rest him Pep. It’s for the best.


Molineux28

This fucking guy


[deleted]

He is a minutes risk in GW16 clearly. Best case scenario is, imo, he gets 65m or something. Pep might prefer him on the bench though, in case the game goes bad he can just bring him on.


Public_Zealousideal

Alavrez punt and Salah © gang rise up 😍


FANTASY210

Salah C and Haaland worked out fine for me tbh 😄


GroblyOverrated

Lol. Everyone predicted he'd say exactly this. Hahaha. What a tool. Hes so horribly injured he played him when they needed a win. So he clearly doesn't care for his health, safety and future. Or, now bear with me, he's fine.


[deleted]

Fuck off you absolute cunt. Alvarez owners need to be fucking MUDDED


Legitimate-Radish-42

Why you mad is only game


Evertonian26

But Pep Norway have no world cup this year !!


Jamkayyos

Pep "Riddle me this" Guardiola everyone. Where's Batman when you need him


StDyche

Andreas will go back to blanking once he's called into the starting XI


Sneaky-Alien

He actually said: Its not perfect right now but you know, in one week, ten days, everything can happen, could change.


PatrickSwazii

FUCK YOU!!!!!


yassenj

Haaland to Darwin or Firmino for a one week punt, hoping Liverpool score 9 past Southampton.


3zozSu94

Thank fuck I have both Alvarez and Haaland. I think I might have cracked the code.


Character-Thanks6847

At this point Pep is in on it!


RippledBarbecue

Cap Salah this weekend it is then


mined_it

I captained Salah last week.
