How do De Bruyne and Sterling compare as FPL assets for 2020/21?

Fantasy Premier League managers may now find it harder to choose between Kevin De Bruyne (£11.5m) and Raheem Sterling (£11.5m) compared to last season.

The pair spent the 2019/20 campaign with a huge disparity between their prices, the Belgian starting £2.5m cheaper than his English colleague.

By the end of last season, he had risen £1.1m while Sterling ended it as he begun, priced at £12.0m. However, now the two players share the exact same price-point, budget concerns have become irrelevant and it is now a straight shoot-out between them.

De Bruyne comes into the new campaign on the back of a record-breaking 2019/20 season, registering 251 points, more than any other player.

That was the midfield maestro’s best-ever FPL score, after he involved himself in 36 of Manchester City’s goals. 13 of those were his own, his highest-ever tally in a Premier League season (13) while he equalled Thierry Henry’s record for most assists in one season (20, rising to 23 when adding Fantasy assists into the equation).

Surely with statistics like that, De Bruyne is still an auto-include for the new season? Right?

The Belgian is certainly an admirable option for 2020/21, a view we won’t dare try to disagree with, but it is worth saying that Sterling could be set for a big season based on the way he finished the last.

While De Bruyne registered an impressive 10 double-digit hauls in 2019/20, Sterling came very close to his colleague, posting a total of nine.

Five of those came during Project Restart where the Englishman outscored his Belgian colleague by 86 FPL points to 73. De Bruyne’s score of 19 on the final day made the comparison more respectable than it could have been too. Going into Gameweek 38+, Sterling was ahead by 78 to 54.

The question is whether or not Sterling can sustain such form across a whole season. He will need that if he is to rival De Bruyne for FPL value and backing. The fact that only the Belgian (2,798) and Ederson (3,072) recorded more minutes played among Manchester City players than Sterling last season (2,660) is an encouraging start – although both players could miss the start of the campaign if they are granted a delay because of Champions League involvement.

But in order to fully assess his potential as a premium set-and-forget midfielder, we need to look at Sterling’s underlying data.

    Can they release the game before the fixtures?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yes. They have added players to the game in pre-season and have added kits in pre-season so can add fixtures pre-season.

    Pulisic and Werner double up sorted then

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Will Pulisic be fit for GW1?

      1. Bury94

        Ooooh yeah he's injured isn't he, nevermind!

      2. singin
        • 3 Years

        Unlikely, and if he is it will probably be only just and so may be benched. Who knows though

    How Lallana +1.5m equals Pulisic I will never know

    1. goriuanx

      I had Pulisic at 9.5

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

      Strange. Few of these prices are beyond me.

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        It's as if they are trying to decide the template team for us. Poor imo

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Don't think so. A couple of bad eggs, but overall it's looking somewhat untemplatey. It will be hard to decide whether to go big in midfield or up top. Tomorrow we'll be tempted by the defence.

  5. Coys96
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Pulisic injured so misses start doesn't he?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Most likely

    2. Siva Mohan
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      CHE announced he is out for 2 months..

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        7.8 when he returns

        1. Siva Mohan
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          hopefully

        2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Probably not. He won't be sold because people won't have him when he is injured.

  6. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Let’s not forget that pulisic will miss the first 2 weeks of the season

  7. Andy_Social
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    So Salah/Mane/Pulisic makes an extremely simple placeholder template for De Bruyne/Sterling/Fernandes.

    1. jimski
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Hah, imagine Liverpool blank first week - someone has to be drawn to play the Manchester clubs (unless they play each other). Apparently Wolves asked for a blank too.

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      maybe not Pully then.

    3. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Not quite - Puli out

      You also need to make 2 extra defensive swaps on your plan

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Not if I have Pully instead of Greenwood. I'd be an estimated 1.0 over, which could be covered.

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Dammit, I mean Greenwood over Pully, which is my plan. Pully isn't in my first choice squad. But if he was fit, my GW1 squad would be about 98.5m.

          1. Andy_Social
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            Oh, I get what you mean. If Liverpool's opening 2 fixtures look like duckshoots, I'd delay my 3-at-the-back plan. Depends on fixtures.

  8. Cok3y5murf
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Pulisic 8m wtf. Why have they done that? I reckon he'll have around 30% ownership?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Pulisic going to be this season's KDB if he stays fit. £1.5m underpriced.

      1. Goonsquad245
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        He’s a troll. Won’t get anywhere near 250

        1. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Not getting 250 pts. But for 9.5m you are expecting 160 ish points. He could achieve that at 8m!

        2. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Is KdB 9.5?!?

    2. jimski
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      He's sure being talked up. I owned him quite a lot last season, and he was frequently underwhelming, even at 6.5. (Missed the hat trick.)

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        I avoided him during that trolling period, but I still think he should cost a bit more.

        1. jimski
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah, for sure, but I'm still a little suspicious of him.

        2. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          He trolled me big time. I lost a lot of tv and had he not blanked every time, I would have been inside top10k.

    3. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      He may come into the game late enough after injury to force difficult decisions perhaps

    4. Cak Juris
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I think he will be ready for GW 3

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        So will perhaps also many others... Which can make it tricky if trying to save WC. Yet if WC3 template fails it might be almost (?) season defining situation.

  9. UnitedFan
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Way too cheap for Pulisic. Horrific decision.

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Agreed. Will be in every serious team

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Suggests Greenwood in midfield only 7m?

        1. goriuanx
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Potentially

        2. UnitedFan
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          I'd be very surprised if we don't sign a RW.

        3. Cak Juris
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Nope, 7.5 at least

      2. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        From when I suppose is issue

        It’s also maybe just enough to compromise triple big mid and defence

        But poor pricing really

    2. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      May be even cheaper by the time he is fit.

    3. Riverside Red
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Was he that good last season?

      1. UnitedFan
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        He should definitely be in your team at 8m put it that way. Boring.

        1. pingissimus
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          But how many he should be in your team at that price do we have? Enough to force some decisions

          Mo
          KdB
          Sterling
          Werner
          Pulisic
          Bruno

          So far

          1. James VARdy
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            KDB and Puli the only ones for me so far.

            Werner depends if Auba comes in cheap
            Mane v Salah v Liv Defenders if they are good value.
            Bruno depends on if Rashford comes in as cheap as Puli.
            There is value to be found in attack and I really hope Kane, Auba and Aguero offer some too.

        2. James VARdy
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Fully agree

    4. Riverside Red
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      He's no Hazard to be fair

    5. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      He is becoming bit of a sicknote

    6. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Agree looks great value
      Only the injury is a concern e.g. if he's out for GW1-2 but then doesn't look fully fit when he comes back/has minutes managed/picks up another knock
      In theory if you look at games played last season, he is a c200 point player if he played 38 games

  10. ClassiX

    Ings 8.5m confirmed

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      My formation is going to be 5-5-0 if this continues 🙁

      1. Herman Toothrot
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        541 or 451

        Werner

      2. Zladan
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Werner surely gets in. Great value compared to midfielders.

        1. Salarrivederci
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Only due to the assumption, that he will be on pens though 🙂

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Fair. Predicted 0.5 less.

  11. Riverside Red
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    That's approximately 23 definites in my team already, based on comments from the community today

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Exactly 😆

      If everyone's cheap, no one is. It's all relative...

      1. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Exactly - the Liverpool pair now look pricey almost at 12.0.

  12. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Werner at 9.5 ill have some of that. Along with Pulisic at 8.0, can see Werner hitting the ground running early.

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      based on what? Different league, a tougher more physical league, new surroundings and team mates. Nothing is certain. Even the best players don't always adapt

      1. Grounderz
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        And everyone has their own opinion. This one is his, that in his opinion, he speculates Werner to hit early form.

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          They do. I am asking him what he is basing it on. Fair question?

          1. Grounderz
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            Look around. What else can he base on.

              • 14 Years

              Oh i thought he had some intresting tactical view of why he thought this. Do excuse me

  13. Siva Mohan
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    no Pedro & Willian so CHO will be placeholder till Pulisic returns..

    5.0 would be a good price with good fixtures

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Or maybe werner plays there and giroud/abraham up front till then

      1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        This more likely

  14. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Still no defender reveals...

  15. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years

    Come on fpl, you give us Berge price but we want Lundstram’s!

    Also Alonso and Kane pretty please

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Lundstram probably not at SUFC next season!

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      No one wants Lundstram's

    3. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Why?!?

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Going for differentials this season!

  16. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    I can never seem to transfer in the right players during fantasy. How does everyone judge a player?
    Eye test, stats (form and XG), fixtures

    Which is most important?

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Eye test

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years

      1. Fixtures
      2. Stats
      3. Eye Test

    3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years

      Stats are for losers 😉

    4. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Stats and fixtures. The eye test is more misleading than stats for me.

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        All of them!

      2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        numbers don't tell a story for me . Apart from all that Xg Xa garbabe stats have their place for people who can be bothered. They just bore me , not what i play the game for personally

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          * garbage

    5. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Choosing players from good teams. And there aren't many good teams tbh. Man City, Liverpool, Man Utd, Wolves, Chelsea are pretty consistent.

      No point picking a Brighton attacker with good fixtures because they are still a crap team that just won't score loads of goals.

  17. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Jesus Christ

    Pulisic, KDB & Bruno for 30.0m

    Has to be an error surely

    1. ClassiX
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Who's your (c) in that lot?

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        The two mancunian, sharp-shooting, set-piece monopolists could share it pretty well from GW3 onwards I’d say

        Especially with 2 extra fixtures over their 12.0 peers

        1. ClassiX
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah, makes sense. Sterling over KDB might actually be a small differential, at this stage.

    2. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      You can still only play eleven

      Higher scoring game this year that’s all. Still the same choices as a day ago about which premiums to own from 8.0 up - we just get one more!

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        But in this case you have about 5.0 extra for the other 8 of that 11 🙂

        1. pingissimus
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Yes so one more premium - we all get him. Higher scoring game with one fewer enabler straight off

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            You’ll all get him if you all get KDB, Bruno, Pulisic 🙂

    3. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      In Pulisic's and Fernandes' cases, they seem to focus on total points more than points per game/minute, which is what made TAA underpriced last year.

    4. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      That is 40 million and even without Christ!

  18. @persecuted_by_mods
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Teasing is supposed to be a starter not a main, reveals going a bit too far now lol

      That said no defender reveals is suspicious

      1. pingissimus

                    Probably just gonna bump their prices up

                Just when we've salivated over tasty premium midfielder and a couple of tempting striker prices, they'll seduce us with delicious defender prices!

            Pulisic at 8mill will make Ziyech and Mount's prices very interesting.

            Mount will be overrpriced no doubt in comparison and will be a forgotten man unfortunately. Fond memories of owning him last year.

            How is Richarlison the same price (as a forward no less!) as Pulisic. Seems crazy to me.

            Most players appear underpriced to me, but then there are the cases of Mané, Lallana and Richarlison who seem very expensive in comparison.

            1. diesel001
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 7 months ago

              Agree. KDB, Sterling, Salah, Werner, Pulisic, Soucek all feel underpriced.

              1. Flaming Flamingo
                • 7 Years
                3 years, 7 months ago

                Agreed, expected all of those to be at least 0.5 more. KDB, Pulisic and Soucek could even be 1m more and it still would feel like a fair price IMO.

            2. Coys96
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 7 months ago

              Lallana very overpriced.

              Pulisic maybe 0.5-1.0m underpriced

              I don't think Richarison is too bad at 8.0m

              1. Flaming Flamingo
                • 7 Years
                3 years, 7 months ago

                I don't like his price mainly because I don't feel it's in line with the others. If you told me before the price reveals he was 8m I wouldn't think it was so crazy. Can't see many wanting him now though.

            Pulisic at 8.0 is insane. Once fit, straight in my team.

                3 years, 7 months ago

                Barring injury he most certainly will be

                1. @persecuted_by_mods
                    3 years, 7 months ago

                    He's 21, playing his first season in the prem and settling in

                    If he doesn’t get injured at all all season and plays every game then obviously he’s a good bet. Unfortunately that’s not the deal.

                    1. @persecuted_by_mods

                      He was able to blank five times in a row when he lost his form.

                    Have you watched him play? He scored against you until he fa cup final before being unfortunate with injury

                    1. Goonsquad245
                      • 7 Years
                      3 years, 7 months ago

                      I’ve seen him play, he’s a good player when he’s on the pitch.

                      1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
                        • 8 Years
                        3 years, 7 months ago

                        Ohh if you’re talking about injuries then fair enough, he’s a very injury prone player

                        1. Goonsquad245
                          • 7 Years
                          3 years, 7 months ago

                          Yeah, I just think he’ll be a nightmare to own.

                          Very reminiscent of Son a few years ago at a similar price, get on at the right time and he’s great, but he’ll struggle for minutes for various reasons and cost a lot of transfers.

                            Remember getting him in for WHU (H) to get 2 followed by 2, 2, 3 in the following games vs. AVL, EVE, BOU

                  Salah and Werner

                  This is all really interesting that they have no defender reveals. What if this season they decide you know what, defenders are gonna be MUCH more expensive.

                  No more 4.0ms. Only 4.5ms. Starters from bottom half teams cost 5.0m. Maguire and other top 6 starters at 6.5m. TAA at 8.5m. Imagine that!

                    Good. It shouldn't be easy to pick a good team in FPL.

                    TAA at 8.5 is not a discussion, look how many points he just scored, if that was a striker or midfielder everyone would not think twice about owning.

                    1. Camzy
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 13 Years
                      3 years, 7 months ago

                      He won't be if this pricing method keeps up.. He'll be 7.0m again and be in 50% of teams again...

                      1. Qaiss
                        • 8 Years
                        3 years, 7 months ago

                        Yes, so he should not be 7.0m. FPL are being way too lenient with some of these prices.

                          See below

                          It’s not a game FPL want to be hard - they want as many playing as possible. On here we’re the ones twisting it by wanting it to be tricky.

                    2. pingissimus
                      • 5 Years
                      3 years, 7 months ago

                      Cheap prices will continue

                      The game is designed for the 7 million who want it easy to pick their faves.

                      There’ll be a new difficult in outpacing those “casual teams”

                    3. Cok3y5murf

                      3 years, 7 months ago

                      That's not the way to do it. You have to compare him with players from his position. Tarkowski's points per million was not as far from TAA's points per million as you think. If they bump TAA to 8.5, they would have to bump other defenders accordingly too. I would certainly not pick TAA as an 8.5 defender in my team.

                    Hoping for a new 4.0 Lundstram to emerge this season.

                      • 12 Years
                      3 years, 7 months ago

                      Tough
                      Lundstram didn't play for SUFC last season hence the wrong position
                      Don't there there were that many other viable 4.0s last season (Kelly, Rico maybe)

                  • 14 Years
                  3 years, 7 months ago

                  TAA is going to be 11.0 to balance everyone’s budget out

                  3 years, 7 months ago

                  Chelsea is an odd one imo - they continue to bring in lots of new faces:

                  1 how will they line up - will they phase in new starters etc
                  2 new set up will have winners and losers, never like trying to bank on a newbie until i've seen them settle

                  Think Puli with his injury is priced appropriately to twist things up once he returns

                  1. UnitedFan
                    • 8 Years
                    3 years, 7 months ago

                    I don't think injuries should affect initial prices.

                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 5 Years
                      3 years, 7 months ago

                      KDB was at a reduced price last season because of injuries - puli will have to come back, might get eased in, might find the structure of the team isn't as suited, so many dimensions - I think it's a good price to prompt transfer usage when many are moving for early form players

                      1. Goonsquad245
                        • 7 Years
                        3 years, 7 months ago

                        Agree with this. When he returns from injury (probably 2 or 3 times this season) and people have settled teams it’ll give people a decision to make on whether to shake it up or not.

                      2. UnitedFan
                        • 8 Years
                        3 years, 7 months ago

                        See what you mean but I'm talking about a player starting the game injured. I just don't think if should affect price, especially when he's only gonna miss about 2 games.

                          3 years, 7 months ago

                          Agree, but he has been a bit injury prone and it's 2 games predicted

                    • 6 Years
                    3 years, 7 months ago

                    He will probably be fast bandwagon after he has scored. But will he he be in form straight after this injury?

                        Aye, probably comes off early a few times etc. to ease him in
