Cheers Luke. Thanks for the information.

I expected Ederson to come back in last week and he didn't, I guess we go with the flow then and pick Ortega, he made some good saves vs Forest but for how long this switch will last is anyone's guess, particularly when Pep himself says Ederson is still number 1 🤷‍♂️

At the back City are now limited in options thanks to losing Ake (I did say playing him 3 games in 9 days was a risk Pep!!!) and potentially losing Akanji, however with Pep not fully ruling Akanji out it annoyingly does cast some doubt on the set up. If we assume he wont be risked then the back four

Is almost certain to be Lewis (LB into midfield) - then Gvardiol Dias Walker back 3. If Akanji is fit/risked then we could see him come in for Walker or more likely for Lewis - resulting in Gvardiol doing the roaming instead that worked so well vs Forest.

As for the midfield I would pretty confident on Doku LW who was great again and Jack taking up the 8 role. I see no reason to change that and both are fresh. Foden is also out which makes this easier. It's only really Nunes who can spoil that for either.

Abt Nunez:

What do you think is the position that most suits him? And will Pep will ever play him there?

(both from City pov and FPL vise)

@dis-fpl.bsky.social thoughts?

Nunez does start. 4.9
Almost semi regularly playing bar the rest needed (so he ll miss one game in three). Thats alright for his price. Done well in Europe too.

Potentially game breaking player? Second year under Pep is generally very good tbh...

KDB may rest for Juventus but Pep said they "don't have many players" when the journo asked about managing him which to me suggests he feels somewhat forced to risk him - particularly as Foden would be the likely replacement & he's out. If they don't gamble on his fitness then Nunes/Silva can play.

dis-fpl.bsky.social•84 days ago

This leaves us with the RW spot and Silva/Savio seems a coin toss. Silva helps by dropping back into midfield for build up, so works better as a whole given how vulnerable they are here. Particularly if he's forced to use Lewis in midfield areas over Gvardiol.
