ThaiPauly Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Can I just butt in here for a minute. I play in the Thai Visa Fantasy League which I know some of you do as well. But here is the dilema. How do you pick a midfield when you know if you pick City players they may not play? There are so many stars in the attacking midfield they can't all play, so if you put Sane in, who costs 9.5m there is a chance he will be bench warming for 25% of the season and that really applies to all City's attacking midfielders, He can't play them all!! You could put Ali in for the same money and you can bet he will play every game he is fit to play in. So I won't be picking any this year, the ones I had last year did very well for me but they played week in week out, that can't happen this year and I can't risk losing the points. Bye the bye, I was very supprised to see that Sterling has only been chosen by about 3% of fantasy team managers so far last time I looked, is that because of his world cup goal drought? he was normally well over 25% last season!! Or do the punters see him as the one who is going to play the least games, does he play the same position as Mahrez? Anyway, your thoughts would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, your thoughts would be appreciated Anticipating selection choices is all part of the game. A lot of the time you need to watch form carefully / make educated guesses. If you are worried about whether Sane will start, you could choose a player more likely to start (maybe Mane for Liverpool, for example), and then watch to see if he is picked / begins to play well. IMO Mahrez will be given a few games, and Sterling is unlikely to be dropped, so there is a chance Sane could miss out. EDIT.... having said that Sterling's training is set to be a bit behind those two, as he played until the WC semi-final, whereas Sane had the summer off, as did Mahrez. So it could be Mahrez and Sane to start. Edited July 28, 2018 by RickG16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, your thoughts would be appreciated The City conundrum is all part of the fun TP. City are spoilt for cash and keep investing in their midfield and could probably field 2 entirely different sides so you're gambling on who Pep's favourites will be. After the first week or so, de Bruyne will probably be the most reliable....but is he explosive enough? The wider players will be be more potent scorers but suffer from rotation. You have to throw Aguerro and Jesus into the mix as well! As for Sterling, he is not popular this year as he is overpriced. Tough to squeeze into a midfield which includes Salah and choosing one out of those two is a no-brainer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not good news for the rest of us mate, they'll just spend another 60m (bargain) on a replacement and Mahrez will be fully fit in a short while culminating in their bench looking stronger than most first elevens in the league.

I think nobody has Sterling now as he might be unlikely to start the season. With Mahrez in the mix it looks less likely that Pep will play both Jesus and Aguero like he did last season at times. Always tempted by Aguero.. will probably give Kane a miss to start with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
