This week I will be buying a City player and captaining them. If we get news that Foden starts, it will be him. If not, but we hear that Haaland starts then he is my second choice. If both miss out or we don't get news then I will go vanilla and get KDB.

Generally your planning and steadfastness against all the FOMO that fpl players tend to feel has been so impressive. Rooting for you, and I think you’ve already had such a great season

Are there any leaks on BlueSky or is it just on X? 3 games in 10 days for City - I might avoid them completely.

I don't really know. I will probably just search on both 5-10 mins before deadline and see what pops up.

Yeah feels like a great opportunity, Ive got vanilla kev and Will captain him if we get no leaks. But if we get a leak that Foden/Doku/Savinho starts I might transfer and cap that player for the possible upside.

KDB isn't Vanilla, he's Ginger.

Yeah, Salah -> Schade + Isak -> Haaland (c) will happen if the Robot starts. Foden is my other option. Not that interested in KDB, will probably look elsewhere if the other two don't start.

KDB is only 11% owned I’d say that’s more raspberry ripple than vanilla…

I wouldn't pay much heed to overall EO at this stage of the season. Was 30% in the top 10k last week and it will be a lot more this.

Are you still on BB36?

De Bruyne cap paid off last round, feels risky to gamble on lightning striking twice 😅

What makes you think it is risky? Feels like the standout option given the fixture.

Torkil Johnsen @torkilj.bsky.social

Fun punt, but season track record has not been outstanding. Two matches with returns for KDB in the last 13? Then again, who am I, pretending to make informed comments about FPL? 😂

Heskibo (FPL & ESN) @heskibo.bsky.social

I see your point, but it feels like the system has recently been shifted to centre on KDB more. And given that Liverpool and Arsenal play each other, and that Newcastle play Chelsea, City vs Southampton looks like the standout captaincy fixture.

How about Wissa or Mbeumo? Season motivation gone for Brentford at this point?

They are good options too.

Wood is my current captain but I am very torn between Wood, Mbeumo and even Bowen. I think I will go for Wood though. Unless I get a leak to suggest Marmoush doesn’t start in which case I bring in the 🤖 for the (c)
