Might just do Howe->Pep then if I were you. Mbeumo and Isak are decent fixtures. No guarantee Watkins, or the likes of KDB if you went there, will do better.

I am thinking Howe to Arteta and Gabriel to Ruben. Would mean benching Mbeumo.

Not a fan of double City defense, but viable for sure as it lets you get the manager you want!

I could get any defender I want really. Just not convinced that a Villa defender or Bradley is better than Dias this week.

Yeah I agree, but would not want to use a defender transfer if I were you!

Like the upside of DGW mids/attackers a lot more, and you already have a defence filled with DGW players!

My thinking is that Assistant Manager is so powerful I want the best option available for it. Definitely not selling Saka to free up the slot so a defender move is the only route to Arteta.

I do not see Arteta as a lot better than Pep, personally. Believe that Dias+Arteta vs Watkins/Rogers + Pep can easily favour the attacker route.

Fair enough. My take on the managers is different though. I think Arsenal win both games and I am not at all sure City do.
