Will Gundogan be starting now with D. Silva gone? Could be a good choice

Re: Manchester City (inc KDB injury implications)
Fernandinho finally gets a rest.
Otherwise a strong team from City.
Ederson, Laporte, Stones, Otamendi, Zinchenko, Gundogan, Foden, Sane, Bernardo, Sterling, Jesus

Sane is the one due a rest but the one in the best form

So many games in a row for sane and Aguero coming back. May start all 3 with sterling as striker and give Aguero a run off the bench?

Re: Manchester City (inc KDB injury implications)
Sané has now played 637 minutes in exactly four weeks time. He has started all of his last eight games. Yes, I believe he is a key player for City while Mendy is out but I would be very surprised if he is preferred to Mahrez this GW again.

Scored twice tonight. Mahrez can watch him being amazing from the bench. He might learn something.

Re: Manchester City (inc KDB injury implications)
Sane is playing brilliantly though and I think he doesn't seem like he needs a rest. He can get a full week of rest after GW17 anyway. He might still be benched in GW17, but unlike you I wouldn't be very surprised if he starts.

I didn’t say I would be surprised if he starts. I said I would be surprised if he does and Mahrez doesn’t. Quite a difference imo.Finisher1 wrote:Sane is playing brilliantly though and I think he doesn't seem like he needs a rest. He can get a full week of rest after GW17 anyway.

This doesn’t look like a good week to bring Sané in, especially for Mahrez. That’s all I’m saying.

Re: Manchester City (inc KDB injury implications)
Also should factor in the fact that Sterling has played more minutes recently than Sane although Hoffenheim and Everton are both at home so no travelling 'fatigue'.
I'm very tempted to get in Sane with the form he's in, effectively for Lacazette, but am wary of a benching from Sane. He definitely is a set and forget until February when Mendy returns. It's just that this week could be bad timing. I presume Kun will be on the bench, possibly along with Jesus too??

Re: Manchester City (inc KDB injury implications)
Owning neither and with the potential to bring in either this week or next, what I was hinting at with my first sentence is that why would Pep be more likely to bench Sane than Sterling with the form Sane is in? Dropping a player in red hot form is generally not a good idea. One way or another though, I do think Mahrez will start as others do.

Re: Manchester City (inc KDB injury implications)
If Sane needed a rest he'd have had one v Hoffenheim in the dead rubber. I'm sure he'll start at the weekend, as much as anyone can ever be sure.
I have no idea about Mahrez, and I don't believe anyone can predict whether he'll start with any certainty.

Re: Manchester City (inc KDB injury implications)
Yeah that's what I thought but there was a view from some on fiso that Pep was adamant about winning the group, so would pick a reasonably strong team. And he did - however because it was a home game, maybe we're overplaying the tiredness impact. Perhaps also because the opposition, whilst decent, is not going to dominate the ball and make City run, is not a bad team to play. Foden will definitely drop out for Fernandinho and Jesus could drop out for Mahrez with Sterling up top. Aguero and/or Jesus to come on and give others a rest. All effin' speculation as usual...

Mahrez could even replace Gundogan or BSilva, though that seems less likely imo.

Re: Manchester City (inc KDB injury implications)
Hoffenheim wasn't a dead rubber, City needed a point and Pep was very firm about that fact (as evidenced by his team selection). And I don't believe that anyone can predict whether Sané will start with any surety either. The fact that both Sterling and Sané played 90 yesterday creates some uncertainty at the very least.hancockjr wrote: If Sane needed a rest he'd have had one v Hoffenheim in the dead rubber.

You are having a great season, SK. The worrying thing is how our teams are so similar yet you are almost 100 points ahead of me.Sutter Kane wrote: Owning neither and with the potential to bring in either this week or next, what I was hinting at with my first sentence is that why would Pep be more likely to bench Sane than Sterling with the form Sane is in?

You have created an interesting squad there, very heavy at the back and no cheap attacker either. It's going to take some management.
I'm guessing that Richarlison and Lacazette would leave and in that case I think Sané would be worthwhile for you. You could then use next week's FT to downgrade Jimenez or (I guess more likely) Chilwell in order to be able to bring Richarlison back for Fraser in GW19. I guess something like that is the plan? It would seem wasteful to transfer Richarlison out and get him back 2 weeks later but that's the situation created by the type of squad structure you have where almost any adjustment will need 2 transfers. But that does mean you can micro-manage fixtures, in fact are almost forced to.
The reason I'd do that move and take the -4 is that I think Sané is a great medium-term pick whether he starts this weekend or not and I also think you are on the wrong horse with Lacazette (as I suspect you do). Who would come in for Lacazette though? Are you looking at Mitrovic with Fulham's nice fixtures maybe? Or Chicharito even?

Sorry had thought they were top regardless.
No-one should transfer Fraser out ever. I did once and regretted it immediately.

Yeah, I wish I hadn't really. But the fixtures aren't the greatest I'd certainly prefer Richarlison from GW19 onwards, wouldn't you?

Re: Manchester City (inc KDB injury implications)
I’m personally hoping Gundogan gets a few games. But Aguero is fit/available again.
That allows Sterling Aguero and Sane as a front three.
B Silva, Mahrez and Gundogan competing for two places?
Maybe the easier home game(s) it will be Mahrez and B Silva?
de Bruyne ready for some bench time too. Be amazed if he starts any of the next 2 or 3 though.

Sterling has had a fair bit of rest already, so maybe Sane sits this one out.
