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.

  5. alfast1c

    Morata+Firmino+Brady >> Jesus+DCL+Sterling+0.8m

    Or upgrade DCL to?

    Yes or No?

    1. jimmy.floyd
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      Nah

      1. alfast1c
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        Why not?

    2. jimmy.floyd
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      With Mane injured, Firmino should do better, DCL not nailed, so just Morata to Jesus

      1. alfast1c
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        not enough cash. Gotta let go Firm.

    3. theroadrunner

      who is DCL?

      1. Totally Hammered
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Dominic Calvert Lewin

        1. theroadrunner
          • 9 Years

          ohh. ok boi.

  6. alfast1c
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    Who you think is the best option for budget forward, max 5.7mil:

    Calvert-Lewin?
    Niasse?
    Abraham?
    Ayew?
    Joselu?
    Okazaki?
    Diouf?

    1. jimmy.floyd
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      Joselu

    2. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      I have Calvert Lewin in the hope he turns into the next Harry Kane. Having watched EV v Bu it doesn't look so. Maybe Okazaki, at least you know what you're getting.

    3. Lazaretti
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      I've been thinking the same. Everton should be best team out of those just we do not know who is going to start. Niasse looked sharp against Burnley. Diouf playing as a winger, Stoke fixtures improving? Okazaki not sure if nailed? Joselu cant just hit the target. Ayew, Abraham, Abraham more nailed?

      I would say: Abraham, Joselu, Diouf

    Coutinho, Sterling

    Kane (c), Vardy, Jesus

    Any fpl boffins help me out?
    If I play my FT then the Free Hit chip, does my transfer stand?
    I'm not being lazy, I've looked and can't find the answer. Ta.

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      *Dons lab coat*

      You lose the FT, mate, as it's a chip. Also, in the next gameweek, you are returned to your original FPL team as though you never did make that FT.

      1. Clump
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        Cheers.
        It's been bugging me. Top man.

    2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      The free chip will revert your team back to last g/w's team regardless of playing it before or after any transfers made.

      All transfers will be free.

  18. BigBarn

    Right then - feel like I might be getting close to deciding on my final WC team. Any thoughts?

    Elliot - (Joel Pereira)

    Azpi - Otamendi - Davies - Jones - (Mee)

    Sterling - Hazard - ChoMo - (RLC) - (Lewis Cook)

    Vardy - Jesus - Kane

    0itb.
    Plan is to rotate Mee and ChoMo, therefore switching between 5-2-3 and 4-3-3.
    Plenty of flexibility, key City and Chelsea players ... am I mad?

  19. cjhewitt92

    What are your guys thoughts on these

    A) Jesus Salah Mkhi to Batshuayi Hazard and David Silva (-4)

    B) Salah Mkhi to Hazard and Richarlison

  20. theroadrunner
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    azpilicueta or alonso? i can manage funds for both so thats not an issue, but I feel inclined towards Azpi since he has been doing really well, but alonso might explode and now and I don't wanna regret not having him because I own him since the start.

    1. KAR
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      I have the exactly same situation, im also thinking switching to azpi, but i might end up regretting that.

  21. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    I have Silva
    Should I:

    A laca to Jesus
    B mkhi to haz
    C gross to sterling
    D save transfer

  22. lugs
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    here's something crazy that i thought i'd never say , i'm considering benching Salah for T Carroll for this weekend , i just have a feeling the Pool game could be goalless for the second year running or maybe utd just nicking a 1-0 since we all know mou loves to park the bus in big games + its an early Saturday kick off with Firmino & Cout just getting back from long flights + no Mane , also i think Swansea will beat Huddersfield and Carroll is overdue a goal or an assist or something , so with all things considered its maybe not that crazy a decision after all

    1. BigBarn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      Agree with your Liverpool analysis, just don't think Carroll will score you points against an organized defence either.

      1. lugs
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        yeah Carroll can never be relied on to get points but i just feel for this week only he has a slightly higher chance to get points than Salah

        1. theroadrunner
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 days ago

          don't do it boi

    2. CloudSky
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      I still think its crazy. Pool usually do well in this big matches.

      1. CloudSky
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        these*

      2. lugs
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        so does mou though , 0-0 is his preferred result lol

    3. FC Lackless [BALEGIUM]
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      If you're that convinced he'll blank and with Spurs away after that why not transfer him out ... a lot of money for blanks.

      1. lugs
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        no way he's a season keeper for me , and besides i'd fancy him to nick a goal in the wide open spaces of wembley against an attacking Spurs side

    4. orangetruck
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      Dont do it...Salah has a high ceiling, Carroll doesnt.

  23. CloudSky
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    Thoughts on this fellas?

    Fabs
    Davies Alonso Cedric Mee
    Hazard Coutinho Sterling Richarlison
    Kane Jesus

    Elliot Wimmer TCarroll 4.5fwd

    1. BigBarn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      I really like it - although I don't see the point in spending the extra 0.5 on Fabs when you'll want to play Elliot more than half the time anyway. I would use any extra half-mil to turn a 4.5fwd into DCL. He's played in every game so far and Everton can only get better. Also consider ChoMo ahead of Richarlison for the next few months - his xG is higher - also frees up cash. But that's still probably the best 4-4-2 I've seen. Good luck.

      1. CloudSky
        • 10 Years

        Sound advice, cheers mate.

  24. cjhewitt92
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    Would you guys do any of these

    A) Jesus Salah Mkhi to Batshuayi Hazard and David Silva (-4)

    B) Salah Mkhi to Hazard and Richarlison

  25. Eze Really?
    • 12 Years

    Who will play, Aurier or Trippier

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 10 Years

    thoughts on Mikky and Kola to Hazard and Credric/Cresswell for a -8?!!!

    Fabi Elliott
    Kola Davies Ward Mbemba Rosenier
    Mikky Salah Atsu Gros RLC
    Kane Jesus Lukaku

  27. GST
    • 12 Years

    How about this approach gents.......

    Salah & Clark > Kola & Haz -8

    Play bench boost to negate / soften the hit.

  28. MattyW

    help needed with this guys (no wildcard )

    Foster (Elliot)
    Naughton, Kolasinac, Cedric (Hegazi) (Manquillo)
    Alli, Salah, Miki, Brady (Choupo-M)
    Lukaku, Morata, Chicharito

    I think Morata to Jesus is straight forward but anything else (Salah or Miki out based on their fixtures
