    Just watching an FPL channel on YouTube, thinking of taking a hit and bringing Sane and Sterling in they have some easy home games coming up.

    I'm thinking along those lines myself, but will only have room for one of them with Ederson in goal and Agüero filling one striker spot. Taking Agüero out for one of them is a posibility, but perhaps a bit sideways.

    Here's the captaincy picks for gameweek 14! Lot of faith in Agüero this week, followed by two captaincy's for Salah and Mané. In-demand Sterling makes one captaincy, as does Hazard who's got a nice fixture on paper against Fulham.
    Agüero: 5
    Salah: 2
    Mané: 2
    Sterling: 1
    Hazard: 1

    Sorry for those with Aguero as Captain:

    City XI | Ederson, Danilo, Laporte, Otamendi, Zinchenko, Fernandinho (C), Gundogan, Bernardo, Sane, Sterling, Jesus

    Subs | Muric, Walker, Kompany, Delph, Silva, Mahrez, Foden.

    Just saw the news. Didn't notice I hadn't put the vice-captain on Sané before after the deadline. Must hope for a low-scoring game for City (as if that happens today!), and Hazard to find form for the Chelsea fixture tomorrow (which is more unlikely given his injury).

    I forgot to check my team yesterday, oh well.

    Richarlison might become a differential captain against Liverpool.

    One of my Benched players has got 10 points, alas they are third to come on.

    Martial not starting I see. If he doesn't play at all, and one more of your players doesn't play this gameweek, you'll get the ten points.

    Major changes to my team coming up, just saw the line up Jose is a joke need to get rid that line up is appalling.

    Looking at the lineup, I just can't make up why he didn't play Martial there. Might be something we don't know (small knock or something), but he's such an in-form player now – for a team which certainly isn't.

    I have swapped Martial for Sterling, Jose is playing games with the club.

    Wish I could make that straight swap myself. (Unfortunately) I went with Sané instead (why I don't know – a hunch maybe), and need to take a hit to bring in Sterling.

    I sacrificed Aguero which may backfire, I am tempted to bring Sane in for Pogba I'll wait till after midweek

    Agüero looks to make way for me too. Doing so, he'll no doubt turn up next fixture and score big!

    Tempting to get Kane, but it all depends on my other transfers. Might go with one of the Arsenal strikers instead.

    … and I certainly hope Kane stays quiet today!!

    Phew! Was worried he might start on the bench, coming on after 60 mins or something.

    Gameweek 14 update! Another gameweek finished, and this was a difficult one for many of us, with Agüero not playing. I sometimes don't think much about who I'll choose as vice captain, but this week (and this period of the season) showed that this can be an important thing to get right. Team Flitwick Flyers – best in our league this round –finished the gameweek with a total of 68 points and an GW rank of 398,902. The Bench Boost delivered a Wan-Bissaka clean sheet, and almost a Pickford clean sheet too -but his mistake late in the game against Liverpool gave Origi the opportunity to put the ball in the net. Even more unlucky that neither Özil or Agüero played!
    1. Dinamo Skruknott - GW: 58 - TOT: 824
    2. b]LVLA Skopje 05[/b] - GW: 42 - TOT: 815
    3. Oh Na Na What’s Mané - GW: 57 - TOT: 800
    4. TEAM EXTREME - GW: 45 - TOT: 739
    5. We Need Help - GW: 54 - TOT: 732
    6. Mexico Power - GW: 56 - TOT: 724
    7. Flitwick Flyers - GW: 68 - TOT: 714
    8. The Wizard Rises - GW: 47 - TOT: 683
    9. Kloppites - GW: 58 - TOT: 664
    10. alisson wonderland - GW: 46 - TOT: 652

    I made two free transfers this week, I also want to bring Sane in though not prepared to take a hit after a couple of poor scoring weeks. Though tomorrow it will be Sane in Pogba out

    I think it's a difficult week to take hits – particularly with rotation risks. Still, I'm on the fence about taking a -4, but that would be a long-term move. If only the managers could be more clear about who'll play or not!

    I got rid of Aguero looks like a good move I read he may not make Watford and Chelsea games though I have not checked for an update on that.

    Hard to make out anything from Pep's comments, but I wouldn't be surprised if he misses the midweek fixture and plays against Chelsea. The Chelsea game will be important enough for City to field their best starting eleven, IMO. The City squad is impressive though, so you never know.

    I need to get rid of Ozil and Aguero (Pep said he will use him sparingly as he is close to another injury) but only 1 transfer this week.
    I think Aguero out and Aub in.

    Gutted re Pickford ,cost me a lot of points,but I have closed in on a few places now so cant complain.

    Aubameyang is in terrific form isn't he! Just hope he can keep it up for FPL and non-FPL reasons.

    The GK spot is a difficult one. For me I'd categorize them like this:
    - the premium "set and forget" alternative, which will eat up much of your budget – but one that you'd expect to deliver against anyone. Partner this alternative with a 4.0 option.

    - The mid-priced alternative, which will give you more to spend elsewhere, but at the same time you wouldn't be as confident in as the premium alternative. Partner this GK with a budget GK, or a 4.0 alternative to save cash.

    - The budget GK. This is a popular option, as you have two possibilities; either partner the budget GK with another (playing) budget GK and rotate the two depending on difficulty of fixtures, or just go with a budget GK and partner him with a 4.0 one. That will give you more to spend elsewhere, but you wouldn't necessarily expect many returns from the GK spot.

    Damn right Torg,Aub is in fantastic form,what a player,Torreira as well !!

    My main GK is Allison who I am very happy with atm.
    Pickford is usually reliable,he just made a boo-boo (albeit a bloody big one !! )

    You could always downgrade Pickford and shift funds into defence, midfield or up top!

    Here's the captaincy picks for gameweek 15! Rotation is heavy already this gameweek, and we can see vice captain picks being vital. Interestingly there's a lot of different captain picks in our league this time around, with Aubameyang being the most popular option. Salah also an always popular go-to man - this gameweek no different.
    Aubameyang: 3
    Salah: 2
    Hazard: 1
    Sané: 1
    Mané: 1
    Kane: 1
    van Dijk: 1
    Wilson: 1

    Whoever has Wilson as captain - great choice! Already 1 goal and 1 assist from him in opening 25 minutes versus Huddersfield.

    That's a massive differential success right there, for team alisson wonderland!
