Ominous comments from Guardiola after City flop in Double Gameweek opener

Manchester United 2-0 Manchester City

  • Goals: Anthony Martial (£7.9m), Scott McTominay (£4.9m)
  • Assists: Bruno Fernandes (£8.4m)
  • Bonus: Victor Lindelof (£5.3m) x3, David de Gea (£5.4m) x2, Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.3m) x1

Manchester City’s first Double Gameweek 29 fixture was a dire watch for Fantasy managers who went all-in on Pep Guardiola’s side.

After an underwhelming set of scores from Arsenal’s key attackers on Saturday, this was another blow for anyone who lumped on assets with two fixtures this Gameweek.

Not one City player registered more than two points at Old Trafford, with Sergio Aguero (£11.9m) failing to even last 60 minutes, two Ederson (£6.0m) errors costing his side a clean sheet, and the likes of Riyad Mahrez (£8.4m), Benjamin Mendy (£5.5m) and Gabriel Jesus (£9.5m) reduced to second-half substitute’s appearances.

Kevin De Bruyne (£10.7m), by some distance the most-owned City asset in Fantasy Premier League, didn’t even make the bench, with the 2018/19 champions not prepared to take a risk on the Belgian’s shoulder injury.

There is still one more Double Gameweek 29 match to come for City, of course, and there could still be plenty of points to be salvaged from the wreck on Wednesday night at the Etihad.

Concern remains over who makes the starting XI against Arsenal and just how fully motivated the Citizens will be, however.

Guardiola’s comments on De Bruyne just before kick-off on Sunday not only cast the influential midfielder’s involvement in midweek in some doubt but confirmed what many of us were thinking: that the UEFA Champions League and FA Cup will now take precedent over the Premier League, given that the title race is effectively over and City are looking assured of a top-four place (whether that leads to European qualification or not):

He feels better but he doesn’t feel 100%. And we don’t take risks. We have three important games in the Premier League but of course, the position that we have, Madrid and Newcastle are the real important games for us.

The likes of De Bruyne, Aguero and Mahrez will continue to get Premier League minutes from now until mid-May but anticipating when those starts will come may now be even trickier.

To give two examples, the Gameweek 30 clash with Burnley comes three days before the rematch with Real Madrid, while the two legs of the Champions League quarter-finals (should Guardiola’s side make it that far) fall either side of a Gameweek 33 trip to Southampton.

Aguero’s participation on Wednesday night might also hinge on his fitness, as he was spotted with an ice pack on his thigh immediately after being withdrawn at Old Trafford – although this is not an uncommon practise for substituted players who are nursing even the most minor of knocks and there has been no word from the City camp on any injury so far.

The Argentine striker had little to work with in the Manchester derby, not registering a single legitimate shot on goal and having fewer touches of the ball than even Mahrez managed in a 30-minute cameo.

Aguero did have the ball in the net just after the break but was denied by an offside flag, with a quick VAR check confirming that the premium FPL forward had marginally strayed beyond the last man.

There were few players in light blue who actually made a positive impression, in all honesty.

Raheem Sterling (£11.7m) was pocketed by the excellent Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.3m), while Phil Foden (£5.1m) posed very little threat on a rare Premier League start and there was precious little creativity from the visitors’ central midfield sans De Bruyne.

Sterling did test David de Gea (£5.4m) with a low effort early on and went close to connecting with Mahrez’s cross on 74 minutes but City had only seven shots on goal all game, the joint-fourth-lowest total in Gameweek 29 so far.

There was encouragement at the back for owners of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.1m) and co, meanwhile.

With City deprived of Aymeric Laporte‘s (£6.3m) services, we were treated to one of Nicolas Otamendi‘s (£5.0m) more reckless displays, with the experienced stopper perhaps fortunate not to concede a penalty for a challenge on Fred (£5.3m).

Otamendi’s woes paled in comparison to Ederson’s horror show, however, with the Brazilian goalkeeper first letting Anthony Martial‘s (£7.9m) deadlock-breaking strike squirm through his grasp and then having to dash back to his line to prevent the Frenchman from adding a second when a routine pass back from Joao Cancelo (£5.2m) rolled under his feet.

Ederson then laid the ball on a plate for Scott McTominay (£4.9m) to seal the victory in stoppage time, with the Brazil international’s misplaced throw out presenting the United substitute with an empty net from 35 yards.

As one would expect, Guardiola backed his goalkeeper after full-time:

He saved one or two, he’s an exceptional goalkeeper. I don’t come to judge my players, mistakes are part of the game. He will recover.

It’s part of the game so next time he’s going to be better. He’s an extraordinary player. The way we needed the build-up, sometimes it happens.

This was another superb result for United in one of the so-called ‘bigger’ games, with the Red Devils having taken six points off their cross-city rivals in 2019/20 on top of victories over the likes of Chelsea (twice), Spurs and Leicester.

Jose Mourinho’s fatigued troops are next up for United in Gameweek 30 and there is little to fear in north London at present, despite the red blob on the Season Ticker.

It has often been in matches against the ‘also-rans’ that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side have struggled this season and United have plenty of those after the international break, with six successive fixtures against bottom-half teams from Gameweeks 32-37 (FA Cup permitting).

In Bruno Fernandes (£8.4m), however, they now possess a player capable of unlocking most defences.

His superb, no-look assist from a free-kick for Martial’s goal was his fifth attacking return since his debut in Gameweek 25 (nobody has more in that time) and the bleak days of Andreas Pereira (£4.8m) playing in the number ten role are a dim memory.

He should also perhaps have had a penalty to take for that aforementioned foul by Otamendi on Fred, while a bit more vision and less selfishness from Dan James (£5.8m) in the 69th minute would have seen the Portuguese midfielder played in unmarked on the edge of the City box.

Martial is certainly prospering from his new teammate’s arrival, with his last two league goals owing much to the vision of Fernandes.

The Frenchman continues to impress and frustrate in equal measure, having failed to capitalise on two chances shortly before his opener, but he now has seven goals to his name in the last 11 Gameweeks – only Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£6.4m) has more in that time.

Those who aren’t using the Free Hit chip in Gameweek 31 and who don’t already own the likes of Martial and/or Fernandes are unlikely to make a move for the in-form pair now, given United’s upcoming blank, but the Portugal international is nevertheless the most-bought player of Gameweek 30 at present and the bandwagon will surely only gain further momentum after the international break.

Interest in United’s defence may also gather speed.

This was their fourth clean sheet in five league games (their eighth in ten matches in all competitions), with Victor Lindelof (£5.3m), de Gea and Wan-Bissaka all pocketing bonus points to supplement their shut-outs.

Brandon Williams (£4.1m) was recalled to the starting XI as McTominay made way, with the hosts reverting to a wing-back system for the visit of Guardiola’s side.

The ease with which they kept City out was particularly impressive and Solskjaer said after the match:

Look at the two goals we’ve conceded [over the last ten games] – one shouldn’t have been given against Club Brugge because the ball was rolling [from their goal-kick] and the last one was David [De Gea’s mistake], so we are getting there.

At times, we pressed and pushed them back and we tried to be aggressive with the wing-backs and three up front. So we ended up with three at the back, and, when we hit the press, I think we made them make mistakes and, of course, we’re happy with the result.

Manchester United XI (3-4-1-2): De Gea; Maguire, Lindelof, Shaw; Wan-Bissaka, Matic, Fred, Williams (Bailly 78′); Fernandes (Ighalo 88′); James, Martial (McTominay 78′).

Manchester City XI (4-3-3): Ederson; Cancelo, Otamendi, Fernandinho, Zinchenko (Mendy 77′); B Silva (Mahrez 59′), Rodri, Gundogan; Foden, Sterling, Aguero (Jesus 59′).

    I could do with a Vardy and KdB no-show, tbf. Dunk and Williams waiting.

      I have had Dunk since GW1 and probably missed all his hauls on my bench but hopefully he has a DGW37.

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas

        Of course, high likelihood of 1-point cameos for both.

          Dunk may have Newcastle and Leicester in GW37. Just one of the scenarios.

          Things will become clearer after GW31.

          Cannot be that bad plus he is an attacking threat.

        You've been on this site for three years and this is the first instance of an abbreviated "to be fair" you've seen and it shocked you so much you couldn't bother googling it?

        1. Plant Based FPLer

          I know what it means.

  2. The Ejiptian King

    We all noticed the positions Bruno was getting into during the derby yeah? Could've had two easy chances if Martial and James squared it to him, he's gonna get a huge score soon, I've ignored him so far due to rival owning.

    1. Tempestic
      • 5 Years

      He'll be in everyones teams after the blank most likely

      1. The Ejiptian King

        Personally, I prefer no hopers like Perez, Pepe and Mahrez.

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

      Coming in for GW32 to join Tony Gloves - probably for Maddo

      Only question is whether to get Big Fat Harry to join them in a treble up

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)

      Got him two weeks ago. Happy with his 16 points so far.

    4. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      Yeah he's just fueling all the United's attacks... That's why I don't like preparing for the blanks, I would have got him earlier but didn't because of the blank. FH in GW31 sounds better imho as you can play weeks prior to blank with an optimal team...

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 19 days ago

        that’s the beauty of the FH in a blank gameweek - you don’t lose players like him for other players you don’t really want

    5. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      Yeah got away massively as a non owner. Frustrating as a supporter, should have been two glorious chances for him. Have to stay stubborn now with my next two transfers hearing towards gw31 players and saving my FH. Will get him on WC in 32/33

    6. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years

      Bruno will be in more teams come next season than KDB.

      No jokes.

      1. FPL Blow-In

        Price dependant

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 19 days ago

          How much will KDB drop by?

          That is even if he is still at the emptyhad without CL.

          1. The Ejiptian King
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 19 days ago

            KdB won't drop, he started at 9.5, massively underpriced.

            1. FOO FIGHTER
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 19 days ago

              My point is that Bruno wont cost you more than Kevin.

  4. Sgt Frank Drebin

    Mane to Sterling turned out not very well, but the decision wasn't that awful (or at least I try to justify it...) They had similiar xG for their matches, if only Sterling could hit the ball 1 goal already in the first game would be fantastic in my opinion. Let's wait for the game vs Arsenal as Gunners had rather bad defence but I'm worried Sterling's minutes might get limited

    Summing up, the risk was calculated but man... I am bad at maths

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      Sterling is a bad player so he will consistently underperform on xG. He probable needs twice as much xG as Mane to score a similar amount of goals.

      1. bench boost for every gamew…
        • 7 Years

        you are just trolling are you not? Sterling is not a bad player

          Sterlers is shocking

          He’ll end up at Everton or similar

          1. bench boost for every gamew…
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 19 days ago

            Sterling got so many qualities that are important for a team to function, every manager in top 10 clubs in Europe will agree with me as they have a similar kind of player who is integral to their team. If you dont see that you are not watching football properly

            1. Sgt Frank Drebin
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 19 days ago

              Yeah agreed. Besides, 11 goals in 24 games isn't bad for a winger I guess. Btw just checked and he's the 5th best player in the league in terms of non penalty xG/90 minutes:
              1. Jesus 0.91
              2. Aguero 0.79
              3. Abraham 0.61
              4. Calwert-Levin 0.60
              5. Sterling 0.59

              1. Sgt Frank Drebin
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 19 days ago

                Ops forgot about Wood with 0.62. And Sterling is 0.58

                • 7 Years
                4 years, 19 days ago

                the measure is not in goals only, to play with that system Pep does he needs pace and directness, he gives him that and he is very good defensively both tactical and he runs a lot.

                1. Sgt Frank Drebin
                  • 7 Years
                  4 years, 19 days ago

                  Yeah agreed 100%

      2. Sgt Frank Drebin
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 19 days ago

        Don't exxaggerate - last season he overperformed xG. But in general yeah - he's not the best finisher in the world but still he doesn't underperform by huge margins

      Arsenal defence has actually improved markedly in recent weeks /since Arteta's arrival. I wouldn't be putting too much hope into the City smashing the Gunners basket. I am a tad biased Gooner though :).

          @BROSSTAN

      2. Sgt Frank Drebin
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 19 days ago

        Their stats doesn't look that well tho... in the last 4 matches:
        11 big chances conceded
        7.13 xG conceded

        With only 2 goals conceded in those matches it make me thinks Arsenal was quite lucky recently. Do you think Gunners play better recently or it was just temporary new manager effect?

    4. Plant Based FPLer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      My rank ain't good but Sterling has not been performing since GW1. GW1 he looked so good with 3 quality finishes it's hard to believe. He could've had a few more assists if Aguero hadn't missed a few chances but otherwise it seemed like a pretty hopeful pick to dump Mane or Salah for him. If dumping De Bruyne that was better.

      1. Plant Based FPLer
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 19 days ago

        Although let's say De Bruyne wasn't going to play, would City even so well then? Maybe just keep De Bruyne and that's a win/win.

      2. Sgt Frank Drebin
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 19 days ago

        Yeah but who would knew De Bruyne won't even be on the bench. And Sterling is getting chances this season - it's just his end product isn't good. Sterling has 11 goals and Mane 14, but Sterling's xG is actually better, it's just Mane was finishing better. I still think the move was quite risky but also could be a high reward. If Mane had higher ownership I probably wouldn't do it

    5. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      Honestly, it wasn't a good decision. Sterling has only been a good option this season in one gameweek: GW1

      Mané has been far more consistent, and far more capable of hauls.

      I'd be more optimistic punting 15 GWs or so back, but with almost 30 GWs to make judgements on a player's form across the season - Sterling has been far too lacking to even make that move tempting.

    6. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      There is also factor called form. And Sterling has history vs Top6 teams and vs ManU. You forgot also these when did your math?

      1. Plant Based FPLer
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 19 days ago

        So... history will trump form? Sterling's form has been terrible. I'm talking eye test form, goals or no goals. So it'll come to who he's playing most likely. If it were Aston Villa and Brighton this week then maybe getting Sterling would've been good.

        If Sterling returns against Arsenal, they're most likely going to be "on a plate" opportunities or rebounds, which is fine to go for but it won't keep happening long term. He might even be better on the right side as this year he's just filling in on the left for Sane. Maybe with Sane back Sterling gets some hauls on the right side.

      Come on, chin up, City ain't been exactly setting the world on fire recently. Potential for goals but as I haven't captained Aubamy, just the single winning goal with a Saka assist will do just fine thanks 🙂 :).

      Auba scores when you believe all is lost ... the week after you sell him 😉

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 19 days ago

        Yea, he is fixture proof. Totally unpredictable.

        1. Klaren
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 19 days ago

          Not 100% certain of this but don’t remember him scoring against Liverpool and Man City since he joined Arsenal. His stats vs other top 6 teams isn’t that great either.

          As an Auba captainer, I don’t expect more than 2 points on Wednesday.

    5. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      You got McCarthy points, be happy 😉 These C Auba things just happen sometimes, not season defining anyway. And at least we should get 4 extra pts, so it isn't as bad as blank in single gw.

    Thoughts on keeping Ings?

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years

      Got bigger worries than a budget forward.
      Will sell on WC gw 32/33.

      1. Tshelby
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 19 days ago

        Worries like? Must say haven't paid alot of attention to fpl last weeks but everything is actually going great

        1. el polako
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 19 days ago

          Perez, Perreira & KDB plus my goalie.

    2. Geriatric Unathletic

      Already shipped this week for DCL. Perhaps possibly a week too early, but hey ho.

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years

      Southampton are on a downward spiral.

  8. gauzah
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    If Vardy is benched tonight I think I'm going to have to spunk my wildcard early to salvage anything from this season.

  9. Dannywaz

    Lord ayoze perez

    1. FOO FIGHTER

      There is only one Lord this season.

  10. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 19 days ago

    You just know that useless turd Perez will come on for a 1 point cameo...

    1. Plant Based FPLer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      He was a terrible buy for Leicester, especially at 30 mil. Vardy foes a lot better when Albrighton plays.

  11. El Matador
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 19 days ago

    Vardy (c) tonight hoping for a nice juicy brace

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      I'm afraid you will be disappointed

    2. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      brace spelt bench :).

  12. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 19 days ago

    Not even excited for teamsheets with Perez starting in my team and Barnes 1st on the bench 😐

    1. Garth Marenghi
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      I did the reverse. Who knows.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

        You're in luck.

    Kevin De Bruyne is likely to be fit to face Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night.
    @TelegraphDucker

    1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      He probably knows as much as we do, at the end of the day it's Pep's decision

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      Even if he would be fit, would he be risked to start...

  14. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 19 days ago

    anyone know anything about the source who leaked the line ups? Is he reliable at all?

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      pretty much

    2. FCSB
      • 8 Years

      He’s bluffing (I hope)

  15. chaser123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    Is there a website that shows the average points impact of a KDB no show vs Arsenal? i.e the resultant average VC and bench points?

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      it does not matter.. cant do anything

      1. chaser123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Well yes but it would be interesting

    Will FH in 31 so need to do a move but not sure what to do.

      Don’t invest in Spurs attacking assets. They won’t be able to create any chances

    3. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      Have watched Spurs playing lately? They are bucket shop at the moment

      1. Klaren
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 19 days ago

        They are doing ok in terms of attack at home but Alli is the only one worth considering imo.

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 19 days ago

          But who wants Alli over Salah, Mane, Bruno or even Martial?

          1. Klaren
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 19 days ago

            I’ll get him for FH31 but yes I prefer those 4 over Alli.

    Has that fat bloke from the gym leaked any team news for tonight?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      Yeah , Perez and Vardy not starting , all lies hopefully

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 19 days ago

        He hasn't been wrong yet, has he?

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 19 days ago

          No, Sean chap had the news before that Friday deadline too.

        2. Dynamic Duos
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 19 days ago

          I trust official line ups and that is all

          1. Maddi Son
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 19 days ago

            I think we'll know for sure tonight if this guy is 100% reliable. Praet starting and no Vardy, Perez or Chilwell can't exactly be a lucky guess.

  19. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
    • 11 Years

    Up until today which teams have had two blanks? I want to maximize on future DGWs.

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      Sheff Utd and Villa but remember Henderson will miss one of their rearranged games as it's vs Man Utd.

      1. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 19 days ago

        Both teams have blanked only in GW 28.

  20. Rainer

    Never. Doubt. Sean.

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      Didn't he said that Perez starting in fa cup game midweek & got it wrong ?

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 19 days ago

        Fraud!

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 19 days ago

          I don't remember exactly so asking

      2. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 19 days ago

        Claims it was a fake leak on purpose.

        Gym guy had the Vardy leak for the last game, then Sean too. Same for today.

        Think they’re good info.

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 19 days ago

          Cool
          Not long to go.
          I'm interested as it's an early KO for Leicester so i might wait deep on Saturday to make moves.
          Rockstar is on break too apparently 😀

          1. Rainer
            • 7 Years

            These tend to have the news very early, so good chance.

  22. Doctor Evil
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 19 days ago

    For me to not have a bad week I need Vardy to score a brace both assisted by Barnes then Auba to score a hatty all assisted by Saka, and finally KDB not to play so I get the Martial bench points.

    That’s not much to ask is it? Currently on 37 -4
