Re: İlkay Gündoğan
He is currently 473% towards a second rise in two days on FPL Statistics.
Well, it feels that way. Not so much a bandwagon, more a behemoth.

Re: İlkay Gündoğan
He's been in the starting 11 for City's last 5 gameweeks. Your logic seems to suggest as he's playing really well he's at more risk of being dropped than if he'd just had been average. I'm struggling to get on board with that idea tbh.ZeroRemorse wrote:I think he's a rotation risk, he's injury prone and Pep will feel comfortable at home vs Boro.DonTanTilla wrote:For the record, I have now pulled the trigger and he is in my teamLaudrup86 wrote:Did you go for it after Don?
Funny enough I toyed with the idea this morning having a free transfer and an injured (and useless) Puncheon to replace, but decided to roll it over - never mind!
Got that 'missed the boat' feeling but still might jump on.. couple of good fixtures upcoming
He's very important to the team now and having just played vs Barca, I think he's certainly high risk of rotation, he is in good form though, having picked up a goal from a defensive error.
He's seeing a price rise tonight as well and will now be 5.6m. So if anyone has their finger on the trigger now's the time. I'm busy weighing up Gundogun or Redmond, I can't decide as Redmond will be playing 2 days before the Hull fixture, so I'm not convinced.

My logic is he's a very valuable asset to the side now and he's known to be injury prone. Pep may feel he needs to rest him mid week vs Boro at the Etihad. A fixture he might feel he can win without Gundogun and give him the rest his body needs and not run the risk of him being sidelined.
That's my logic. Speculative at best. I think he's fine to jump on board with.

Re: İlkay Gündoğan
Cursing myself for last week bringing in Sterling instead of Hazard. As I already have Aguero and Stones, I have the maximum City allocation. Anyone think it is sensible to downgrade Sterling for Gundogan this week, or is it a bit of a waste as Sterling could pick up a big haul against Boro also? Surely sensible yes? Obviously would have to do this tonight...

Re: İlkay Gündoğan
Brought him in after the weekend as a cheap City midfield option (to go with my other 2 City players). He has that ability to arrive at the right time in the right position.

Re: İlkay Gündoğan
Just taken the plunge. His timed runs into the box tonight were Lampard-esque
I would assume that Gundog will be included in the Germany squad to play San Marino and Italy. But whether he would start either or both matches is questionable. Hopefully he has an easy workload over that fortnight so he can start against both Boro and Palace.
Pep after the West Brom game : ‘I said to him, “thank you”,’ ‘We need him. Without him we cannot achieve our target, it is impossible.’

Gundogs in a purple patch and sterling isnt. Its as simple as that. Pep likes to rotate going on history. Who is more likely to miss out? I feel Sterling might have to go.

Re: İlkay Gündoğan
The thing is, he will probably rise two or three times more after tonight before the start of next GW (nov 19th), whatever he does against Boro (unless he gets injured ofcourse). I'm thinking of picking him up now for Snodgrass. Two hours or more so left...

Re: İlkay Gündoğan
Wish I hadn't made this weeks transfers already.
Part of me just wants to take a -12 and do Redmond > Gundogan then Sterling > Hazard. I've only got 0.1 to play with so if Hazard and Gundogan both rise again (they will) then I wont be able to do it next week. Only reason why I'm not is because Redmond has Hull.

Look at SOTON's upcoming fixture run, it's good after Liverpool, even Pool are shakey in defence, we might be OK.

Re: İlkay Gündoğan
Yeah he has great fixtures. Realistically I can't take the -12, especially as I'm only 40pts clear in my league. But eff hell I want to haha. If Hazard and Gundogan both have another good week then I could always look at Mane > Coutinho to help fund it.ZeroRemorse wrote:In the exact same boat.IceCreamFirm wrote:Wish I hadn't made this weeks transfers already.

Re: İlkay Gündoğan
I am monitoring him, but depending on how Mane does over the next few weeks Capoue --> Gündoğan and Deeney --> Vokes does seem viable. Can then play 3-4-3 or 3-5-2 with fairly decent players.

I'm holding off on Mane --> Hazard. Mane should have scored at least 1 of his 2 great chances vs CPL and should have got an assist or two.Terry Henry wrote:I am monitoring him, but depending on how Mane does over the next few weeks Capoue --> Gündoğan and Deeney --> Vokes does seem viable.

I think I will make the move after the Watford game though. He seems like the sort of player to pop up every 3rd of 4th game regardless of fixture ease, where as Hazard looks to be good this season and has the potential to do something no matter the fixture.

Re: İlkay Gündoğan
I think rushing into Gundogan is still a bit risky move:
He seems very good value for ~5.5 but still:
1.) His goals and assists records throughout his whole career are not great
2.) He is injury prone
3.) Despite starting the last 6-7 matches, his role may get changed as Pep's tactics/line ups are so inconsistent
4.) City are playing CL and he may get rotated in the EPL matches
5.) Man City's tasty fixtures run ends after 3 GWs
It is clear that he is in-form and his value is rapidly increasing. That's most probably the best reason to get him currently.

City are all but through in the CL and have played their 2 hardest games. If anything they might save good / injury prone players for the league? Either way 10 of their next 12 games are in the PL.
Not a first XI player at international level so unlikely to get run into the ground during the international break.
I would think of it is as Pep's lineup evolving, surely hes not going to ditch a system when it's working.
If City can score 3 against Barcelona I am not worried about their fixtures (though this is perhaps a wider point about trying to follow runs of fixtures)
My City supporting friend said he's worth a punt whilst they are making so many chances and he has licence to run into the box
Each to their own. I decided it's only 5.5 so might as well. If he was 7.5-8.0 I'd be far more cautious. I wasn't convinced after Saturday but I am now on board.

Re: İlkay Gündoğan
Got to be some concern over rotation there?
It's basically 2 of KDB, Silva and Gundogan for 2 spots? Provided Aguero, 2 wingers and Fernandinho play around them.

Re: İlkay Gündoğan
FPLS and crack the code combined indicate that he's 8,700 transfers away from a third GW rise and has been bought be 28k people today. I'd say yes it'll happen tomorrow night...and if the delta for a single rise is about 30k, regardless of whether the buying carries on, he could rise again to 5.8 on Saturday night.

Re: İlkay Gündoğan
With his crazy rises I am tempted to sell Sterling for him, unfortunately it looks like I'll miss at least two further rises and a drop on Sterling before that happens, so I might just have to stick to not owning him.
I've really missed out on these rises from players like Allen and him.
