Next up in our summer series of team-by-team analysis of the 2016/17 campaign are Manchester City.

We start by checking out the team performance levels over the previous campaign to look for any trends of improvement before assessing the Citizens’ standout individuals ahead of the 2017/18 season.

The arrival of Pep Guardiola helped the Etihad side up their points total from 66 to 78 last term, yet they finished some 15 points off the summit for the second successive campaign, claiming third position in the Spaniard’s first year in charge.

City also improved their goal tally, from 71 to 80, which was again the third best on offer, six behind Spurs at the summit.

      I'm finding it too hard to pick an obvious attacker for Liverpool or City

      1. Malcolm Tucker for England …

        i'm backing Kun to Chelsea tbh

          Which would of course promote both him and Jesus in our thinking

            If Kun goes to Chelsea, him and Jesus come straight in for Lukaku and the cassette

        I'm really hoping that Lallana will fulfil much of last season's promise. Before he got that injury he was flying!!

        Mane & KDB are absolute gold in my view aren't they?

  2. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 11 Years

    Foster (Myhill)
    Cedric, Trippier, Daniels (Naughton, Rangel)
    Willian, Alli, Ramsey, Lanzini (Carroll)
    Lukaku, Lacazette, Jesus

      I wouldn't pick non-starter Rangel. You're actually better picking some random 4.0 so that his value doesn't tank GW1.

      Go for Tadic or Redmond instead of Willian with their fixtures and upgrade Rangel.

      1. Benster
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        It all depends on whether you are going to wildcard early or not. If you are, you may as well pick some 4.0 players and max everywhere else as long as those players are nailed. No good if you are going to pick potential non starters though

        Thanks

        Rangel is linked to Naughton - i will not be playing Naughton but if he gets injured Rangel will 100% play right back for Swans as he is the only RB in the squad.

        I can't bear Tadic/ Redmond after all the hype this time last season 😉

    Eriksen or Mane?

    1. Bubz
      • 13 Years

      That's a tricky one

      1. Bubz
        • 13 Years

        Helpful Bubz

      2. UnitedFan
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Indeed. One of my headaches. Don't have any attackers from either team, but coverage is a myth after all.

        1. Bubz
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I prefer Alli to Eriksen personally

          1. UnitedFan
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Hmmm. I prefer Eriksen due to set-pieces and his bonus potential. Would you go Alli or Mane then?

            1. Bubz
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              I'm of the opinion that Alli is criminally underpriced at 9.5m and will definitely be having him in my team

              1. b✪mber
                • 10 Years

    2. Netley Lucas

      Mane if you have Harry?

      1. UnitedFan
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Don't, but don't want to pick someone based on coverage.

    3. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Mane to go with Sane and Kane for me...

    4. Zarafa
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd go Mane

    5. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Alli for me

  5. Malkmus
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I'm seeing a lot of Lindelof in teams but I really don't think he is nailed. From reading Man U forums Jose is likely to ease him in so I wouldn't say 100% nailed. It's basically Bailey +1 and the other CB could be Blind, Lindelof, Jones, Smalling or Rojo when fit. I could be wrong but I'm not going for him personally. I prefer Kompany who does score a lot of headers, more than any utd def

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      5.5 is a good market.

    2. Agger
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'm with you mate.. he gave a lot of time for Mkhitaryan to settle.. I think early on he'll go for tried and trusted..

    3. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Kompany is the only defender who hasn't left my team since my first draft - I can't stop thinking about his end of season form and how he transformed City's defence

      1. Waxys
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        +1

    4. teddy.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I've been looking into this a bit. Apparently Mourinho does prefer a left/right footed centreback pairing and Bailly, Blind, Jones and Rojo are all lefties, so that would suggest Lindelof or Smalling on the right.

      1. Malkmus
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I think long-term it will be Lindelof and Baily in a kind of Rio and Vids tribute band but not sure for the short-term. Apart from pogba, luka, herrera I think it will be hard to pick nailed on utd mids/strikers. Martial/Mikhi/ I will be watching rashford closely, jose loves him and he has been training hard all summer, he's bulking up big time. could have a break-out season.

    5. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Kompany is 0.5 more to start with...

  6. Agger
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I've not seen anyone with Salah yet, he could be a dark horse!

    1. Bubz
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He's on the wait and see list

    2. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      he's nailed for me. Never given a chance at Chelsea, lightning quick, bought by Roman only so no-one else could

    3. Jazz!

      Pondering him vs Mane!

    4. Wild Card this!

    Bellerin Vs Kolasinac Vs Monreal - who and why?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      K @LWB has te be the one? Then Monreal, sadly Bellend wants out so Ox might challenge.

      1. DantheManinaPan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks, I'm always wary about having newbies in my team but this may be the time for an exception

        1. UnitedFan
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Defender newbies aren't as risky becsuse they're part of a collective unit.

        2. Netley Lucas
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          If you're worried just get Monreal, still gets forward even @LCB and saves a half. Solid.

    2. teddy.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Monreal. Cheaper and more assured of starts.

      1. DantheManinaPan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Ok thanks for your opinion, but personally I value attacking threat quite highly in defenders which Monreal lacks - ATM I have the funds for one of the 6.0s but will consider this

    3. UnitedFan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Kolasinac because of the reasons Netley said.

    4. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Kolasinac because he is a destoyer

      Bellerin could equal Kolasinac at least if he plays. If you know that he's nailed then I can understand why it's a tough decision.
      Monreal isn't the best at 5.5. In my opinion there are at least 3 better options at that price, perhaps even including Mustafi.

      Monreal is good at LCB, but he's a bit less nailed than Kolasinac, too, who I'd imagine might have taken Monreal's spot if only he wasn't a better LWB himself! haha

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Paragraphing error. My bad

      2. DantheManinaPan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Ok thanks.

        Kolasinac now resides in my team

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Actually I think my Monreal reasoning was BS. Bad reasoning, I apologise. But as I think you already feel, the attacking side of Kolasinac's game should still make him better value, and hopefully by some way.

    Elliot/Darlow

    1. Benster
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      First Sanchez team I've seen. Not bad at all but would go Defoe over Rooney of you can stretch. Everton's fixtures are rubbish. Milner is a luxury you could do without?

      1. DantheManinaPan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        You don't want to tell Waxys to go without Rooney...

        1. Benster
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          haha, the truth hurts mate 🙂

      2. Waxys
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Milner is on pens and my only Liverpool coverage so I'm keeping him around.

        Rooney has one good fixture at the start so I'll give him a trial by captaining him if he impresses me he stays regardless of fixtures

        1. Benster

  9. scoreonemore

    A) sane & firminho
    B) Salah & Jesus

    1. korbendallas82
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A maby. Salah new to the league. But won't be surprised if B does better.

  10. korbendallas82
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    1. Having a bench with lowest possible value, to free up funds. And to eliminate the problem with benching headache, and possible points missed on bench. Once in a while players get benched and such, then it's a drawback.

    2. Having 3-4 players that can rotate according to fixture/form.

    I prefer 1. Much easier. But Maby try 2 defenders to rotate with fix. This season.

    Anyone have 2 nice defenders that's cheap, and rotate nice?

    1. Benster
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'm going 1 for sure!

      1 x 4.0m keeper (Elliot)
      2 x 4.0m defenders
      1 x 4.5m mid

      Planning to wildcard early as always so why bother with having a higher bench, as long as you pick 100% players

      1. korbendallas82
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Good plan. I'm milking my team we're I can.

    2. Super Pav
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Mee and McAuley rotate really well.

      1. korbendallas82

        Thanks.

  11. Wag the Drog

    Are you doing Alli and Kane and Trippier/Toby to start the season? Too much invested in one team?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Can't quite fit Alli in yet but Harry & Trip are in, for sure.

    2. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I have Kane + Alli + Trippier. In my opinion, ignoring which team they play for, they are the best options in each position

      Yes, but if I were Klippity, I'd still play Milner.

      Hopefully he has Milner in his FPL team.

      What am I saying? I don't even have him in my team! I hope he loses his place!

    3. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED

          I'd go Left, Yes Kane is a threat but Trippier over Walker and Willian over Carrol is nice. Alli over Salah is template.

      Of those teams - left. Not sure about Gayle on the bench though? Downgrade to a fodder and upgrade elsewhere?

  18. Agger

    9 years, 1 month ago

    *Arsenal's first 5 are LEI sto liv BOU che..
    I really don't see having a 6.0/5.5 defender being very viable?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not bad to the break.

    2. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
      • 10 Years

      That'll be why nobody has mentioned Arsenal defence then?

      1. Agger
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Lots talking about Monreal and Kolasinac above?

        1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Must be a new thing then! Both playing CBs so would only be interested in Mon if he was playing LWB (hasn't appeared to in first two pre-season games)

          1. VS10_
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            You'd expect people to be able to absorb a bit better here. Look at who has played LWB and find out that it's been two youngsters, then realise that that won't continue for long.

      2. Andy_Social
        • 14 Years

        Eh? Loads of people are asking about Bellerin, Monreal, Kolasinac.

  19. Zlat Was A Goal

    9 years, 1 month ago

    RMT - draft 15.44 or something like that...

    Foster
    Cedric McAuley Daniels Trippier
    Phillips Alli KdB
    Jesus Lukaku Lacazette

    Bench: Martinez, Tom Carroll, Rangel, Loftus-Cheek

    Have to compromise on a weak bench, but have got for a big front line and attacking defenders.

  20. Knowledgeable meerkat

    Afternoon all! This ones really bugging me

    It's come down to:

    A) 4-3-3 with lindelof

    B) 3-4-3 with ince

    Finding it really tough to work out which should be more profitable. Any ideas folks?

    1. The Legend Squad
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      433 Lindelof - Utd defence should rake in points with early fixtures

    2. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'm hoping Schmeichel goes to United

  21. The Legend Squad
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    How much emphasis do people place on ownership? Surely, in the first few weeks it is sensible to load your team up with the highest owned players, and then make transfers when necessary as per form and fixtures?

    Current team:

    Foster (Elliot)
    Cedric Lindelof Trippier Daniels (Yedlin)
    Coutinho Pogba Alli Redmond T(.Carroll)
    Kane Kaku (Fletcher)

    1. b✪mber
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ownership in the Top 10K is something I look at - ownership on it's own has no meaning to me.

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Pick the players you think will score the most points, no point picking Foster for e.g. if you feel he's a bad pick just because everyone else has him

      1. The Legend Squad
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Surely that's a bit yes and no... it depends on how certain you are. If you're not sure which mid is going to excel at the beginning of the season, surely it's better to pick highly owned mids and preserve your rank whilst you gather information in the opening few GWs...

    Can someone explain to me why Ramsey is so popular?

    1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Appears nailed, license to attack, stats show he's due

      1. Bubz
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Or do they show he's useless at finishing?

        1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Haha - I'm not saying he's due, I'm saying others are saying that! He won't be anywhere near my team.

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Form's improved in the new system, suits his 'style', doesn't have to defend much.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        And a good price.

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Expected 7.5 tbh

    3. Bubz
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Absolutely no clue

      1. Boris Bodega
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Are you saying you don't know or is it a general description of Ramsey's abilities?

        1. Bubz
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          A bit of both. I'm baffled as to why Ramsey is suddenly a good option after him showing nothing but incompetence last season. Underlying stats seem to be making a case for him according to some people but all they tell me is that he misses most of his shots because he's rubbish

          1. Boris Bodega
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I think the formation change has really unleashed his potential, and he will be the biggest scoring 7M midfielder.

            1. Bubz
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              I would need to see evidence of it in something other than preseason in order to consider him. Willian is the best 7m mid based on the evidence we have at the moment imo

    4. The Mighty Whites
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Cheap, Arsenal coverage, when he gets a run of games he always seems to do well

      1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        The worst sort of coverage......

  23. Squires FC

    9 years, 1 month ago

    Rudiger nailed?

    1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED

      Let's face it - When UCL is involved, nobody is nailed

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Nah.

  24. The Mighty Whites
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts?

    Foster - Myhill

    Lindelof - Trippier - Cedric - Yedlin - Simpson

    KDB - Pedro - Ramsey - Tadic - Carroll

    Kane - Lukaku - Gayle

  25. bojack
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Something a touch different:

    Foster [Heaton]
    Walker Lindelof Trippier [Cedric, 4.0]
    Mané Coutinho Stanislas Brunt [Carroll]
    Kane Jesus Gayle

    100.0

    1. The Mighty Whites
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Heavy in defence - Walker to Yedlin then improve Brunt & 4.0 defender

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years

      Lovely. You could aim to get more points if you want, though 🙂

        Stick to the template imo

  26. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    A) Redmond + Kompany
    B) Sane + option to play RLC, Chalobah, T. Carroll or 4.0 def

    1. Waxys

      A

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        How about:

        A) Redmond + Kompany
        B) Salah/Cout/Pogba/Mkhi + option to play RLC, Chalobah, T. Carroll or 4.0 def

        ? 🙂

        1. The Mighty Whites

          1. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Looking less and likely I'll start with RLC as planned. Just gotta wait for August 11 to accept or reject the preliminary strategy!

  27. Tornado
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Surely monreal is nailed on either lcb or lwb

    1. Boris Bodega
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I would say so, but others are less sure. Only Arsene knows, but community shield will give a big clue. I am more interested in seeing who play LCB and who plays left WB? I had assumed Kolasinac was bought for his attacking threat.

      1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Arsene played Elneny in the CB position so, he appears to be doing his best Pep impression

        1. Boris Bodega
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yes that did make me chuckle. Did you see Elneny's near wonder strike? So unlucky it didn't go in.

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Probably to start with. And probably, though slightly less likely, over the course of the season. Holding is the biggest threat I think, and who knows if he'll prove himself on the training ground.

    3. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Solid buy in a 3-4-2-1

    4. The Legend Squad
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Hope so - could be an assist machine. 2 already in pre-season

    5. Scout Keith
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd say Monreal and Kolasinac will compete at LCB and LWB throughout as both can play the two positions well and like to get forward. I see them alternating as the game goes on

  28. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    RMT ... this the best taking preseason so far into consideration ... which may change; also the bench all have good week 2 opponents giving it versatility.
    Foster
    TLC line (Trippier Lindy Cedric) and Monreal
    Sane Ramsey Willian Zaha
    Kaku(C) Kane
    Elliott Dunk Fraser Gayle

    1. _Make
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I like the TLC backline. Bench is a bit weak though. Looks as if you don't want no subs.

      1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Actually I believe Dunk and Gayle are quite good and had great week 2 matchups to step in; Brighton had the most cleanies in the championship and Dunk was their star (Mark is getting him); Gayle had the most goals per minutes played and 4th overall and already is off to a great start in preseason; Fraser gets you great cover for Bournemouth versus Wat week 2 although I may go for another 5.5... still looking

      2. GENERATION X

        Chasing waterfalls with that midfield...

    2. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED

      Kun, Jesus and Laca say hi

      1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Just moved Laca to Kane as I can always down grade. Can't see any of those 3 taking a spot from Kaku and Kane, do you? Still a work in progress of course.

    3. Tornado
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      You think monreal over kolasinac?

      1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        .5 cheaper and Monreal played some wing back last weekend so he may be better especially given Kola still needs to adjust or PL.

        1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          To PL*

      3/10

        And therefore probably the highest score in GW1. All this preparation we give the game and it reduces us to tatters when the results come in....
