    Press conferences today for Pep Guardiola and Ange Postecoglou at 12:30 and 13:00 BST respectively, say the BBC.

      Pep: "Jack is recovered from his illness. Nathan wasn't much better yesterday. Now we are going to train and we will see if he can train or not. No, I don't think it is serious, but I don't know. We'll have just three days since the last game tomorrow."

      Everyone else is fine, he says.

        Spurs: Richarlison + Bissouma out for the season, everyone else who featured on Saturday is OK.

    Petrovic
    White Gabriel Gvardiol Porro
    Son Foden Palmer Garnacho
    Haaland Jackson

    (Onana Gordon Isak Branthwaite)
    1FT & 4.6m

    A) Garnacho to Saka/Havertz
    B) Son to Salah
    C) Gordon & Isak to Salah & Muniz -4

    Thoughts please?

    1. Atimis
      • 8 Years
      5 months, 19 days ago

      Honestly I'm probably keeping Son unless I decide to (c) Salah, similar for the hit move. My initial thoughts were to prioritize Arsenal mid.

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        5 months, 19 days ago

        Similar thoughts honestly. Salah’s mins could be managed too with literally nothing to play for he’s a good option for sure but just not sure if he’s any better than Arsenal mids or Son.

  3. Atimis
    • 8 Years
    5 months, 19 days ago

    Fwd/mid picks to consider for the final GW? I'm thinking:

    1) Salah/Diaz/Gakpo
    2) Saka/Havertz/Tross
    3) Mateta/Eze/Olise
    4) BJohnson
    5) Gibbs-White/Hudson-Odoi

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      5 months, 19 days ago

      Very hard to look past the Arsenal mids.

      1. Atimis
        • 8 Years
        5 months, 19 days ago

        Yeah as mentioned below but considering the "template", I think there is a room for two picks from the list above.

        1. Karan14
          • 8 Years
          5 months, 19 days ago

          Probably but it’ll be at the cost of a good pick this week and we all have strong benches so not sure if a hit is worth it for some of these. I think from the template GW37 team only the Newcastle attackers are actually not that great this week.

    2. Rojo's Modern Life
      • 14 Years
      5 months, 19 days ago

      Whittled it down to just 10 yeah?

  4. CONNERS
    • 5 Years
    5 months, 19 days ago

    If City end up winning the league on goal difference, Pep might need to have a rethink on Gvardiol's performance.

    Standard bench boost team for GW37 - gutted i didn't change fernandes out but c'est la vie.

    Best option for TC last GW chasing mini league?

    Current contenders in squad in particular order:

    Son
    Haaland
    Palmer

    Any outside chances worth considering as chasing ML and not a lot in it. Only one who can play TC as well at this stage

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      5 months, 19 days ago

      Salah

      1. Les Bleus
        • 13 Years
        5 months, 19 days ago

        That's not one of the options in his squad...

        1. El Presidente
          • 5 Years
          5 months, 19 days ago

          No, but he did ask for "outside chances worth considering"...

  6. SomeoneKnows
    • 8 Years
    5 months, 19 days ago

    For those who bench boosted, what's considered in your opinion a good use of the chip in terms of points?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      5 months, 19 days ago

      Given Arsenal defence is part of it, you would want 20+

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 months, 19 days ago

      One way to look at it is "was this my highest bench score of the season". Obviously that is difficult as you may not have set your "bench" as you would have without the chip.

      For me, I am on 16 (would agree with TM i'd have wanted 20) but with Onana (and maybe a Bruno cameo) to go, I should be comfortably getting my second highest bench score of the season (excluding when I FH34) so feels ok in that respect.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 months, 19 days ago

        The issue is though with a Bruno no show you'd get your first sub on a normal week.

        So you do need to subtract your 8th attackers score if you only field 14 players this week.

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 months, 19 days ago

          Unless of course Bruno is your BB 8th attacker.

          I started him with Newcastle in mind...

          How's he not match fit anyhow, if the wrist injury is manageable at this stage of the season?

          1. Biggsy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            5 months, 19 days ago

            Yeah Bruno is my eighth, hence can ignore the possibility of the auto-sub if I hadn't played the chip.

            I can only assume either a. the wrist injury is a break or fracture and he can't play to avoid worsening it or b. its not a wrist injury and there is something else behind the scenes. Could be a and they've decided to save him for the cup final.

      2. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        5 months, 19 days ago

        Quite like that target/ POV.

        Highest points on the bench this season was 24. I'm currently on 17 with Petrovic/Dalot/Johnson left to play (started Gabriel over Dalot based on EV).

        1. Biggsy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          5 months, 19 days ago

          There are other factors - for example I don't think i'd have done the last minute Walker to Gvardiol switch had I not been on a BB (and had a FT) and would have been happy for Gabriel or Branthwaite to come off the bench. So arguably that is where my BB gains have been.

    3. theplayer
      • 10 Years
      5 months, 19 days ago

      I set my team up for bench boost with my WC but if I wasn't bench boosting this week my bench would have been Pickford, Bruno, White and Maguire (but I used a free transfer to Van De Ven for bench boost) so it's definitely been worth it for me despite the potential 0 pointer for Bruno.

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 months, 19 days ago

      20+ is usually the target.

    5. LAMELA_AND_CONSUELA
      • 7 Years
      5 months, 19 days ago

      Floor 16 - which means four players get apperance points twice. Everything below failure.
      Decent 16 - 25 four players get apperance points twice and you additionally you get 2 returns -goal/assist/CL
      Good - 25- 32 four players get apperance points twice and you additionally you get 3- 4 returns
      Great - over 32 four players get apperance points twice and you additionally you get over 4 returns
      Currently I got 19 points with all of bench players to play another one. Even If I get only apperance points it will be good use in my humble opinion (according to criteria set out above).

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 months, 19 days ago

        16 isn't truly the floor esp this season. 3/4 players on your BB are defenders. It's common for your defenders to lose the CS and get 1 point after conceding 2 goals. And not everyone will have a DGW either.

        Floor is 10 imo. Anything worse is a fail.
        10-16 is average
        16-20 is good
        20+ is great

    6. THAT'S LIFE
      • 11 Years
      5 months, 19 days ago

      I don't get the concept of a bench in a BB. It's all 15 players. I could have a bench at the moment scoring either 52 or 4 depending on who I put on there - but they all play so it doesn't matter.

    Last Man Standing Grand Final Update

    Score needed = 82

    Grant Wales is the likely winner this season unless Walker can do a Gvardiol.

    1. The Knights Template

      Can we call him Outlaw Grant Wales?

        Well he is an Aussie.

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 months, 19 days ago

      I think I might have made it standing till now, unless I missed a week.

      Would be standing on 76 points now with few differentials left.

      Other than a Bruno turnaround or a Romero master show!

        Yes, GW38 is a lottery.

      You're either gonna be the jamiest MF on earth or the most unlucky.

      Wow. I don't know if I should congratulate you or not. 🙂

        Ain’t it, might stick a load of fish on Bruno appearing on Wednesday, as a kind of hedge.

        What do you think?

            Either way will be unforgettable innit

              • 7 Years
              5 months, 19 days ago

              Yes, been a bad season for me but this will make it memorable for sure.

              Last time I was this lucky was when Spurs battered Southampton and I missed deadline, which meant I still had Kane and Son (Son 4 goals, Kane 4 assists and a goal)

  9. Tonyawesome69
    • 5 Years
    5 months, 19 days ago

    Hopefully Pep punishes Gvardiol for that poor 2nd half performance with benching in the last 2 games...

    1. SAUCY SALAH
      • 7 Years
      5 months, 19 days ago

      Hoping for another brace and clean sheet, and a TC score of 126 😆

  10. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 4 Years
    5 months, 19 days ago

    "That was one of seven chances created by De Bruyne, who was unfortunate to emerge with just one assist. Haaland wasted the best of the rest"

    Will have to disagree there Neale, still mystified at that Akanji miss in the first half, think it's one of the worst I've seen this season!

    1. drughi
      • 15 Years
      5 months, 19 days ago

      Really suck going KDB over gvardio in gw 35 as my third city player, whatta swing that has been in points

    2. Skonto Rigga
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 7 Years
      5 months, 19 days ago

      Ah Nate, I thought that was offside! The stream I was watching it on said the flag had gone up but you're right, it was recorded as a legitimate attempt. I still think Haaland's was slightly easier as he was well set and Akanji's was waist height. But both shocking!

    3. CONNERS
      • 5 Years
      5 months, 19 days ago

      Yeah, same here. Hopefully he can do something against Spurs.

      Will probably be gone for Salah for the final GW either way.

      In Itchty and Scratchy episode 2F09, Itchy plays Scratchy's skeleton for a xylophone and hit the same rib twice with two clearly different tones. What are we supposed to believe? It's some kind of magical xylophone? I really hope someone got fired for that blunder!

  11. drughi
    • 15 Years

    Wonder if gordon>trossard is a better move then KDB>saka for the last gw. Want an arsenal mid but dont wanna take a hit

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 months, 19 days ago

      I think Arsenal can beat Everton 4-1.

      But not if they are in the title race.

      The home crowd will be too nervy and it will more likely be 1 nil to the Arsenal.

      Or 2-0?

      1. drughi
        • 15 Years
        5 months, 19 days ago

        tough one to call, everton has collapsed in some away matches this season but as you say 0-0 at halftime it will be nervous

  12. Tomsk
    • 3 Years
    5 months, 19 days ago

    Wonder if any of the 10m fpl players started the season with Pickford, white, Palmer and Watkins all in their teams? That would be some foresight.

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 months, 19 days ago

      Given Cole Palmer was a City player in GW1, you do wonder what the 13,573 people who picked him were thinking

    2. SAUCY SALAH
      • 7 Years
      5 months, 19 days ago

      I started the season with 2 of them!

      1. SAUCY SALAH
        • 7 Years
        5 months, 19 days ago

        Oh no 1 just Pickford, thought I had Watkins for some reason

    3. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 9 Years

      Many started with Pickford and he was absolute shite at the start

  13. sankalparora07
    • 1 Year

    I think Pep had Walker in his fantasy team seeing his comments on Gvardiol

    1. SAUCY SALAH
      • 7 Years
      5 months, 19 days ago

      Sounds like he’ll bench him vs Spurs!

        I don't mind that....most of my ML rivals have him and I have Walker

  14. Merlin the Wraith

    5 months, 19 days ago

    Just seen the footage from the BBC of the rain that hit Old Trafford y/day. I knew the state of the stadium was bad but what I saw was awful. It shocked me that fans would part with huge sums of money to sit & watch any game in such a third world stadium. Bad enough that the team has been so crap but to pay out so highly to be pissed on from above is madness. Terrible indictment of the Glasners.

    Cheers

    1. drughi
      • 15 Years

      walker bigger chance of CS I would say but would still go porro considering how bad sheffield are

    2. leeboy104
      • 3 Years

      Walker. Think Spurs will concede and Porro won't score every week.

    3. Baps hunter

  16. ViperStripes

    GW38's most popular question will be, which one/two or even 3 of Salah, Saka, Havertz should I bring in and should I get rid of KDB/Son to afford?

    Expect 5 days of this question repeated in many subtly different ways.

    1. drughi
      • 15 Years
      5 months, 19 days ago

      So you reckon KDB and son will outscore Salah and havertz by 4 points ?

    GW38 BB! RAN to Robertson or Trippier. Hard to justify other tranfers for a hit, or? Gusto a problem.
    My team:
    Raya l Areola
    Gabriel l Gvardiol l Porro l Gusto l RAN
    Saka l Foden l Son l Palmer l Gordon
    Haaland l Isak l Jackson
    1 ft, 2.4m itb.

    I went for a last minute gamble and cancelled my BB in gw37. Benched Raya, Gabriel, Saka and RAN. So it didn't work out great. In hinsight I should have benched Areola and Gusto instead of Raya and Gabriel. But was hoping United could grab a goal. I was 28pts behind my ML rival before this GW, its down to 27 now, and his on BB - both has 11 players left. I had to gamble on Palmer(c) as he has Haaland(c).

      Not Trippier

      Probably a Liverpool defender

      Palmer captain could still come through strong for you

      Good luck

    Is it worth doing Walker to Gvardiol for a -4? City v hammers could be a cricket score

      No.

      You know, his form and position on the pitch as a left winger suggests it might be.

      It's not like for like or sideways when they are OOP.

    Ffs why did that fraud have to say Bruno is on the pitch in his presser if he wont play either of the two games...so annoying this, should have been an easy transfer out.

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years

      Lack of details on his injury, lack of info from reputable United journos and no training photos when ETH stated he was "on the pitch" didn't quite sit right.

      No other fires in my team made the decision easier though

        Yeah,

        I wanted to sort out RAN and Gusto but also felt I couldn't go without Jackson again despite having Mateta.

        In hindsight I should have done RAN to Porro to cover him too.

        But Bruno to Son was likely my next move tbf if I was prepared to take another hit.

        Gusto will probably start and assist on Wednesday now!

        But he seemed to have 2 ahead of him but always finds a way back in.

        Neale and his match report says he almost scored late on which I missed at the time

        But luckily James set up Jackson to score, like Mateta had done with a game to go.

        Lots of swings and roundabouts...

    Considering my BB consisted of Pickford/Jackson/Gabriel & er... van Hecke am quite happy with return so far (20) with 1 to play. Bloody big bluebottle in the ointment is Bruno. Going to be my favourite transfer out this season, narrowly beating Darwin

      If Van Hecke had been Micky Van de Man you'd be flying...

    Chasing 30 points in the mini league and he’s been covering lots of my players the last 2 weeks.

    Differentials:
    I have:
    Petrovic
    Pedro Porro
    Olise
    De Bruyne
    Havertz

    He has:
    Pickford
    White
    Foden
    Saka
    Jackson

    Options are:
    A) Isak to Gakpo
    B) De Bruyne to Salah (C)
    C) Son + Isak to Salah (C) & Gakpo -4
    D)?

      question is if he will get KDB to block you ? in that case KDB>Salah is a great move. You have great differentials aswell

      1. S6 Owl
        • 10 Years
        5 months, 19 days ago

        He already has Haaland, Foden & Gvardiol, so I think he's set there.

        KDB is a differential, but not as explosive as Salah at home.... hmmm

        1. drughi
          • 15 Years
          5 months, 19 days ago

          yeah prefer salah to KDB so go for that one and hope haaland blanks

          B perhaps

          But see if Salah shows something tonight first

          Actually think I'd prefer KDB home to West Ham in the final game

          He does do things in Premier League football, but not every week so switching could backfire for you.

            • 15 Years
            5 months, 19 days ago

            well he is 30 points down and who is more likely to haul out of salah and kdb ? I pick salah all day, 2 goals in a game is never far away also on pk's.

              I see that but I also see Salah as more consistent around 1 goal and an assist or c.10 points.

              You've got to be patient but King Kev has the higher ceiling and could give him 15-20 points at his best.

      Appreciate the thoughts everyone.

      Consensus seems to be no hits for GW38

      Good answer!

      Stay off the socials for some semblance of sanity!

    What's the jazz with Bruno? Anything resembling some sort of clarity?
