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.

    How crap are USA? CONCACAF is literally the easiest route to qualification

      Haha. It is. Such a rubbish bunch of teams.

      Really bad when you can't beat an island country smaller than Manhattan in population.

    Whoever is in charge of FIFA always does deals with different Football Associations in order to get them to vote for them. That's why some sections get more than they really should. But who is to say one team is better than another? NZ only team to not lose a game in the 2010 World Cup... and I'm sure we all remember Iceland and Wales...

    1. Scratch

      NZ shouldn't get automatic from an Australia-less Oceania in fairness. Just unfortunate they have to play a South American team in playoff, maybe that part could be altered.

    When -8 -4 may not equal -12

    On -8 already and thinking about Mbemba to
    A. Otamendi for another hit
    B. Or just play Tarrol instead and do it for free next week.

    C. Only A if I promise to stop taking hits after this 🙂

    Suck one Bruce.

    US was about to undergo a revolutionization in their program and this idiot, these MLS loving morons, and Sunil Gulati threw it all to the side for selling their retirement league.

    I wish for this country to reach its potential someday. This is the first step towards it after a giant step back with the Klinsmann sacking.

    Anyone old enough to remember when USA qualified for 1990 world cup?
    Was the first time they made it in 40 years.

      Yes it was under questionable circumstances in my country. Exacted some revenge tonight. lol

    Never want to see someone lose their job. I have no doubt that this talented group of players will qualify for Russia '18 #USA

        why was he sacked?

        1. barracuda
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          back to back losses v Mexico and Costa Rica I think

      Was an absolute snake about this whole thing. Lost a lot of respect for him.

    haven't watched a minute of American or South American qualifications... kept up to date from u guys and its still been thoroughly entertaining 😀

      same. only started following the qualifiers this week

  19. FantasyNik123

    This is actually incredible. If this doesn't motivate USA to be #1 in the world at football then I dont know what will.

    1. TorresMagic™

      #1?

      1. FantasyNik123
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Americans love to be number one at everything.

        1. Sánchez
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          No. Americans love a sport IF they are number 1
          If they aren't, they pretend they don't care and go back to the "world" series

    2. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      They're already #1 in the world in football if you ask any American, the New England Patriots are "champions of the world", remember?

      1. Lukey27
        • 11 Years

        Cubs and Golden State are world champs aswell.

        We know it’s a dumb label. Arrogant true, but no one really thinks that.

    3. Liftbox
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      We still get incredulous reactions just for saying we play the game. So not a chance.
      They got what they deserved. For sure!

    4. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Naaaa. Our country is saturated attention wise, and money wise, with other professional sports. Our best athletes are much mor motivated, and paid, to play hoops, American football, and baseball.

      1. BananaNose Maldonado
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        This. The truth is, not many Americans will care two days from now. So the national embarrassment angle doesn't hold any water.

    What an evening of football!

    1. FantasyNik123
      • 12 Years

      Incredible. USA wouldve gone through they just needed Panama and Honduras to keep losing and not score two goals. Then they did. Crazy stuff.

  21. GuyIncognito
    • 16 Years

    We can have our own World Cup in Wales with USA, Chile, Algeria and the Netherlands.

  22. Freshy

    With Chile out Sanchez is worth a third more.

    1. noquarternt

      What does that even mean?

      1. BananaNose Maldonado
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Means he won't be knackered next fall from playing in the World Cup.

        1. noquarternt
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Guess it also means he'll try harder for Arsenal as he's got nothing better to look forward to.

  23. Aussiemilan

    Phewww, that was tense last 10 mins, I did not want to play usa at all, would run all over us... Honduras will probably do the same but theres hope!

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years

      Honduras are just physical, no need to worry

      Will be interesting, don't write us off just yet. Did you see Ange has said he's quitting next month regardless, will be interesting to see if we replace him before the Honduras playoff.

      1. Trovsmash
        • 12 Years

        a foreign coach who plays 433 hopefully

  24. walkman666

    All we had to do was draw against the worst team in the north and Latin American hex, and we choked. Choked. Awful. Can’t believe we didn’t qualify.

  26. EmreCan Hustle

    Glad Jesus scored a brace but really didn't want him to play the full 90 mins.

    Hope Pep starts him.

    1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Those were two of the easiest goals a striker could ever get... a pulled Keeper in the final seconds and a brilliant pass from Neymar for a tap in (that he almost muffed);
      I am thinking Sterling for City as certainly Jesus minutes will be limited...although he may score with 45 minutes anyway.

    Guys plz help me out...

    I'm thinking of Dawson + Salah + Lukaku to Otamendi + Hazard + Jesus...

    With -4 obviously and enough itb

    If I don't do Lukaku to Jesus, I would only have 5.4mil for a defender,
    if not the above 3 changes, then who to bring in for Dawson?

    thanks
