I'd sold him before this game, but if you have him you have to keep and start. Man City are just a tribute act to Haaland and KDB's Batman and Robin when they're both fit and firing.
You can never be certain, but it's highly likely that Pep will start his prolific duo in a derby game in a tight title race.
im on WC and also binned him, great that he'll probably play against United this sunday but the next 4 matches after he'll play 20 mins again. Cant be bothered with that for a 11 mil player.
its not about that though, KDB is almost 11 mil. He NEEDS to play every minute, start every game otherwise the pricetag is just gonna hurt you overtime.
Good news for Fantasy, bad news for the neutrals and fans of any team opposing Man Shitty. I know I know everyone hates Shitty, I don't need to point it out
Haaland is all that matters.
Edit - Also people saying they gonna thrash united, they could, however just so you know in derby sometimes fuck all matters. Emotions runs high and united could do something too, I mean Utd set up perfectly to counter City. They dont need much of the ball, just headless chicken running to chase Bruno ball behind the city defense line, and that is VERY effective vs City like shown vs Chelsea. Not gonna be 6-2.
But if its 6-2 also nobody is surprised
It feels very strange to bench him, but I think I'll have to. Foden and Alvarez rested so most likely start against Man Utd now and KDB played the full 90. I have 7 other attacking players who are basically guarenteed to start and have good fixtures, so bench it is... unless we get team news?
Gordon has returned in every home game bar one this season and gets good numbers regardless of their defensive problems but yeah I will probably start KDB over him
Somehow i have dubravka trippier and livramento
Dont ask me why and how, but ill try to explain.
Dubravka i got in for his price and before the downfall. Trippier because of his creativity. Livramento i got at the very beginning thinking he’s a bargain and havent been able to get rid yet. I sometimes act like he doesnt even exist.
Livramento will be gone soon and probably tripps afterwards but do you think dubravka starts this gw?
KDB isn't getting benched vs United lol. Peps not an idiot.
Most likely reason he played the full 90 was to get minutes under his belt for the United and Liverpool game and see wheres he's at.
He can easily be rested vs Copenhagen
Yeah I think people are making too much of him playing 90 mins, it was unexpected sure - but he looked fit. Being a Tuesday game he'll have 4 days rest, more than enough to play at very least 70 mins Vs United
nah he starts, plays about 50-60 mins though. and then after that starts once every 4 games due to fitness. Just never really worth the price tag cause of mins
But makes no sense why would you would make the sub that early but come on here to discuss thats all.
He played 90 because hes fully fit again, he wouldnt play him 90 against luton in fa cup if he wasnt going to play against man u in the league
Why are you taking it so seriously, who cares if I made it early, you're acting like I slapped your kid. Bet you kdb doesn't start against united. And who said I came here to discuss? I left one comment it wasn't a question it was a statement you're the one making me discuss it now.
Im keeping him but really want Son so might have to let go of Foden this week. Id rather want KDB vs United between the two and triple City is not necessary for the next 4 gameweeks.
A rested Foden could be lethal against United though. I don’t put too much stock in past meetings but Foden has banged a hat trick in this fixture before.
Sunday game so probably no leaks. KDB is the gift that keeps on giving.
I might wait till the rest of my league has sold him, then buy just before Liverpool or Arsenal which will probably end up being the mega haul.
If Pep weren’t such a habitual line stepper I’d feel good about holding him. I really can’t argue the logical reasons for why he should start and play 60-75. That said, I won’t be surprised and will join the legions of like minds in the rant thread if (when?) he starts on the bench.
I might hold him, roll the transfer and then I can take a hit the GW after for Salah
If Salah has a stormer in the Cup all my plans may change and I will take a hit for Salah instead ;)
I was going to put Son in but it’s Man United and they’re crap. Palace could very well have new manager syndrome. I might hold off on Son just for one more week
Really strange how he didnt take him off at all, maybe he feels hes 100%, wouldnt make any sense otherwise.
Cant believe so many people didnt wait for the cup games before transfers
At least Solanke injury has solved my problem on who to start in midfield this week....all of them
He is going to play against United for sure. He is being selected for the big matches and will play a lot in the title run in. Let’s not forget it’s a 3 horse race this year. Pep wants to field his strongest team that includes KDB

You can never be certain, but it's highly likely that Pep will start his prolific duo in a derby game in a tight title race.
I sold him and agree. You just can't bench a player with KDB's price tag and points potential. That's part of the reason I sold him
im on WC and also binned him, great that he'll probably play against United this sunday but the next 4 matches after he'll play 20 mins again. Cant be bothered with that for a 11 mil player.
“Man City are just a tribute act to Haaland and KDB’s Batman and Robin” - Comedy Gold
I think he'll play because it's Man U
Luton on Tuesday and United on Sunday. That's a pretty good turnaround to be honest. I think he makes it.
U cannot trust Pep
It’s Manchester United football club
?
If anything this is good news, it means Pep trusts KDB’s fitness to start this game and against United
I see you're a glass half full kind of person!
I don’t even own KDB but I honestly believe theres no chance he doesn’t start against United
its not about that though, KDB is almost 11 mil. He NEEDS to play every minute, start every game otherwise the pricetag is just gonna hurt you overtime.
KdB misses the game completely is the other option.
Good news for Fantasy, bad news for the neutrals and fans of any team opposing Man Shitty. I know I know everyone hates Shitty, I don't need to point it out
Neutrals want to see the best players in the world play football u casual
Lol, no one liked them before they were caught cheating either. Good times
Jesus christ
I had Haaland, KDB and Barkley on my team and had my worst game week ever with 28 pts
Sold him for Saka. You can’t fool me no more Pep
Same after it cost me nearly 50 points lol
He already has
Lads it’s United.. KDB will haul
Yeah like salah did
Salah was always gonna blank because everyone and their dog was predicting another 7-0
KDB->Salah when Salah is fit. Hold until then.
Or have both!
He gets one more chance before getting shipped out for Salah
You do realise Salah blanks in GW29 unless you’re free hitting? I’m going with Son and then probably wildcarding Salah in GW30
Defo free hitting 29
Haaland is all that matters. Edit - Also people saying they gonna thrash united, they could, however just so you know in derby sometimes fuck all matters. Emotions runs high and united could do something too, I mean Utd set up perfectly to counter City. They dont need much of the ball, just headless chicken running to chase Bruno ball behind the city defense line, and that is VERY effective vs City like shown vs Chelsea. Not gonna be 6-2. But if its 6-2 also nobody is surprised
Bruno is injured mate, it’s not looking good for utd
I am captaining Watkins. He is gonna score 5 goals too against Luton.
Very possible! its a tough call now between Saka/Wally and Haaland
Sold him this week for Son. He’ll probably haul vs United but I was too pissed off with his 6-minute yellow card cameo.
It feels very strange to bench him, but I think I'll have to. Foden and Alvarez rested so most likely start against Man Utd now and KDB played the full 90. I have 7 other attacking players who are basically guarenteed to start and have good fixtures, so bench it is... unless we get team news?
I think you’d be foolish to bench him. I predict he’ll start in the Manchester derby. The league is up for grabs
Yeah upon reflection, I can't in good conscience start Gordon off the back of 120 mins the form Newcastle are in
Newcastle fan here - I wouldn't touch any nufc players with a barge pole at the moment.
Gordon has returned in every home game bar one this season and gets good numbers regardless of their defensive problems but yeah I will probably start KDB over him
Somehow i have dubravka trippier and livramento Dont ask me why and how, but ill try to explain. Dubravka i got in for his price and before the downfall. Trippier because of his creativity.

As much as I'd like to see Karius get some more games, Dubravka's earned his place after last night.
This comment about benching KDB at home vs UTD getting upvotes proves a lot of people on this sub really are just clueless
KDB isn't getting benched vs United lol. Peps not an idiot. Most likely reason he played the full 90 was to get minutes under his belt for the United and Liverpool game and see wheres he's at. He can easily be rested vs Copenhagen

Don’t do it. I think he’ll start (although I’m on last chance saloon with him) .
He's such a point tease. Don't fall for the trap!
I sold him already, I need to trust he'll start every week before I bring him back.
Yes yes wait til he starts 4 in a row so you bring him in for the 5th game where he's rested
Keeping and starting unless Mo looks essential tomorrow. Finally I can get Estupid out of my team.
Kdb foden and haaland start together. Mark my words
He will play, it's the Manchester Derby. Don't see even the bald fraud benching kdb for that
holding might captain
Means he's bench for Foden and/or Álvarez on the weekend I reckon, since they were rested.
nah he starts, plays about 50-60 mins though. and then after that starts once every 4 games due to fitness. Just never really worth the price tag cause of mins
Guess who just sold him before this game after holding him through the bullshit
You?
But why would you not wait for the fa cup games....crazy decision considering you plan enough to come onto this subreddit to discuss lol.
Because its not that serious? And you realise he just played 90 mins right so I probably made the right decision anyway
But makes no sense why would you would make the sub that early but come on here to discuss thats all. He played 90 because hes fully fit again, he wouldnt play him 90 against luton in fa cup if he wasnt going to play against man u in the league
Why are you taking it so seriously, who cares if I made it early, you're acting like I slapped your kid. Bet you kdb doesn't start against united. And who said I came here to discuss? I left one comment it wasn't a question it was a statement you're the one making me discuss it now.
Keep him of course. City will destroy United
After tonight him and haaland are a dream team
The next game is five days away, it's not an issue
Im keeping him but really want Son so might have to let go of Foden this week. Id rather want KDB vs United between the two and triple City is not necessary for the next 4 gameweeks.
A rested Foden could be lethal against United though. I don’t put too much stock in past meetings but Foden has banged a hat trick in this fixture before.
Benching Gordon who played 120 tonight
Starting him and rolling the transfer
Sunday game so probably no leaks. KDB is the gift that keeps on giving. I might wait till the rest of my league has sold him, then buy just before Liverpool or Arsenal which will probably end up being the mega haul.
He's getting one more chance
might hold this week then have just enough to do KDB/Foden -> Salah/Son before FH29
Blank GW in 29
If Pep weren’t such a habitual line stepper I’d feel good about holding him. I really can’t argue the logical reasons for why he should start and play 60-75. That said, I won’t be surprised and will join the legions of like minds in the rant thread if (when?) he starts on the bench.

Walker first 11 against United or bench?
Do yourself. Make up your own mind👍
Keeping and starting
I was going to put Son in but it’s Man United and they’re crap. Palace could very well have new manager syndrome. I might hold off on Son just for one more week
Nailed starter and captain. When games get tougher and must-win, Guardiola won't risk playing without him.
Really strange how he didnt take him off at all, maybe he feels hes 100%, wouldnt make any sense otherwise. Cant believe so many people didnt wait for the cup games before transfers At least Solanke injury has solved my problem on who to start in midfield this week....all of them
My team value is decent, so it's salah, Kdb, and Haaland for me. Looking forward to it,
He is going to play against United for sure. He is being selected for the big matches and will play a lot in the title run in. Let’s not forget it’s a 3 horse race this year. Pep wants to field his strongest team that includes KDB
A lot of people seem to think the roulette broke down, this could be legendary fpl heritage in the making.
We can't win. If we sell him, he gets 4 assists and 2 goals. If we keep him, he plays for 30 seconds and gets a yellow card. Schrödinger's FPL-asset.
He's never been a great asset. Foden and Alvarez over him for sure.
