Technical Area – The Man City Midfield

Through the first two months of the season, no side has scored more frequently than Manchester City.

In their second season under Pep Guardiola’s tutelage, City have averaged more than three goals per match to open this campaign and already look to be mounting the strongest title challenge on show.

With Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus as options in attack, we are blessed with two obvious routes to investment. However, reading Pep Guardiola’s intentions with the pair remains a test, made all the more difficult by the news of Aguero’s return to light training following his rib injury.

Just as Gabriel Jesus seemed cemented in the central attacking role, suddenly Aguero’s return seems more imminent, casting further doubts on the likely minutes of the pair over forthcoming Gameweeks.

So, instead, our attentions are drawn to City’s midfield in an effort to achieve coverage of this potent attacking unit while we wait for the striker situation to resolve.

In this article, we’ll be running the rule over three mid-priced Manchester City midfield options – David Silva, Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling – alongside the more expensive Kevin De Bruyne, in an effort to ascertain where best to seek value from this side over the coming Gameweeks.

      People can still enter? Just making it tougher for me to win

        You have more chance of winning FPL.

          Given LMS is probably a league of die hards and FPL has millions of casuals, its probably every bit as difficult. Cant afford a single bad week in LMS

            More like a horrible week atm. A bad week in the 2nd half of the season.

              6 years, 6 months ago

              Oddly, I've not had that yet. Most years i have the odd 28 or something. So far been reasonably ok at worst. Still not getting any huge weeks though. All around the 50-70 types. Think 48 worst 72 best

                Only GW6 could be an issue then 🙂

    Morata/Salah > Jesus/Hazard for -4

    Have exact money

    1. VFORVANDETA
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

    2. Sánchez

      Yes. Brilliant switch

        Pulling the trigger

  4. Speédy
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    JRod - Vardy
    Mkhi - Sterling
    Salah - Fab for -4???

  5. I Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Kolasinac subbed at half. Tactical or injured?

    1. Valencia's Left Foot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      That's what I'm wondering. Injured or well rested for the weekend...

  6. We Will Klopp you
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Man I'm excited to get Sterling in for Mkhi, him and Silva in my side could mean points, big points over the next 3

    1. SuperMario
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Not tempted by Hazard and one City?

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Nah, too expensive with cheaper mids providing just as much threat and returns. More tempted by Morata

    2. CRO KLOPP
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Would you do it for a hit(need advice)

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        I'm doing it for a hit, lol. I think over the next 3 games Sterling has a good chance of outscoring Mkhi, plus Mkhi has been poor in some plum fixtures so I'd say so. In my case I have Lukaku so not keen on double United attack atm

        1. CRO KLOPP
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          I m doing it too,sterling can explode while miky is so boring

  7. SuperMario
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Fabianski - Elliot
    Luiz - Otamendi - Cedric - Mee - XXX
    Hazard - Sterling - Richarlison - Chupo - RLC
    Kane - Jesus - Vardy

    Who would make up the last spot for 4.5m???

    1. ooooo
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Yedlin maybe

    2. Speédy
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      One who is nailed and in a decent defence. Simpson /Martina look decent.

    3. VFORVANDETA
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Wimmer?

      1. SuperMario
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        interesting option

    4. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Clark / Yedlin

      1. SuperMario
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        NEW rotate lovely with BUR also

    5. Johqvist

    1. ooooo

    2. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Morata to Jesus is your very obvious move this week.

      No need for WC IMO

    Is Kolasinac ok? He came off early

    1. VFORVANDETA

      Need to know this too.

    2. Bald Eagle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I think it was tactical, it was 0:0 at HT and they need a win to maybe have a chance, so I guess it was logical to replace one defender for more attack. They did score eventually but Greece leads 3:0 so it’s all over. My opinion anyway.

      1. Kun, Ayew Nigerian?
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Seems the guy that came on is a Centre Back
