Who are the best Man City players to own for FPL Double Gameweek 24?

Manchester City can offer a wealth of viable options at both ends of the pitch for Double Gameweek 24.

The question is, of course, how many should Fantasy Premier League managers invest in and which assets are the best to consider.

We have run the rule over the form of Pep Guardiola’s men, the data behind their upcoming opponents and picked out some key statistics behind certain individuals.

As this article uses data from the Fantasy Football Scout Premium Members Area, only those with a valid subscription can access it in full.

THE FORM

Manchester City have been the kings of the form charts over the winter period.

After a stuttered start to the campaign, their last 12 matches have been a display of imperious superiority compared to the rest of the Premier League.

During that period they have won 10 games, drawn two, been the only side in the division to go unbeaten and amassing 32 points, at least seven more than anyone else.

Double Gameweek 24 teams: Fulham - best FPL players, form, fixtures and XXX

Furthermore, Guardiola’s men have conceded on just three occasions (0.3 per game) and their total of 26 goals is bettered only by Manchester United, who had more than a few mitigating circumstances go their way in the 9-0 win over Southampton.

Considering Manchester City are top of so many key metrics of late, the case for choosing three of their players for Double Gameweek 24 is strong indeed.

The more pressing question is perhaps whether or not Fantasy managers should double-up in defence or attack when it comes to Manchester City.

To answer that, it makes sense to take a closer look at their upcoming opponents…

    GTG?

    Pope
    Mee, Stones, Cancelo, Digne
    Salah, Bruno (VC), Sterling (C), Saka
    Antonio, Bamford

    Subs: Martinez, Soucek, Coufal, DCL

    1.0 ITB and 1FT

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nice team

    2. ALegendJ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      G2g

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Looks good, you could move DCL out for now or sit tight.

  2. ALegendJ
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Play one:

    A) Souček (SHU)
    B) Son (mci)

    I feel Souček would have a higher ceiling due to fixtures, but it hurts benching a 9.7 asset!

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A

    2. Pegboy
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      With Kane back, and Son's record against good teams, I'd lean B.

    3. Davros
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A

  3. aapoman
    • 10 Years

    Morning. Have 2ft and 0.1itb

    Martinez
    STONES CANCELO LOWTON
    STERLING (c) Salah Bruno Son Grealish
    Antonio* Watkins

    Forster; Coufal, KWP, Brewster

    Antonio and Son -> Richarlison and Lookman? Was planning on getting DCL and Hamez but now I'm completely lost...

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Antonio is likely okay.

      Son has good fixtures upcoming.

      Rather than burn a transfer you could look at changing Forster or Brewster?

    2. Shatner's Bassoon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No way I'd make those moves. You'll want Son going forward and Antonio will likely play in a good fixture.

      I think in your position I'd just look towards GW25 & grabbing a Leeds player.

      1. aapoman
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Still have my WC and FH available so looking to make some aggressive moves to make the ground. But yeah maybe I could just WC gw 26.

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Raphinha is a good move next week

    3. Lazaretti
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Wait presser. Antonio.., well Moyes spoke about fatigue when he kind of hurt his hamstring...

    4. iL PiStOlErO
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Don't.

  4. Plagued by indecision
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Ings or Watkins as DCL replacement?

    Really wanted rid of TAA but I suppose that will have to wait another week. Will probably bring in Dallas for him for Leeds's double.

    Anything else need doing?

    Pope / Martinez
    Cancelo / Stones / TAA / Bednarek / Justin*
    Fernandes / Gundogan / Salah / Grealish / Saka
    Antonio* / Bamford / DCL*

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I guess Watkins but Ings has the first double up.

    2. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Watkins if it helps to get Kane DGW26

  5. The Final Boss
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Guys you may be fed up with these questions, anyway seeking your suggestions.

    I have wc bb tc left. Would like to bb in 26 without using wc.

    Current squad.

    Martinez 4.0
    Digne dias cancelo kwp dallas
    Salah bruno son grealish gundo
    Dcl Antonio Bamford

    0.7itb 2ft.

    Plan is:

    Dcl 4.0 to Watkins pope free.

    Save next week and do antonio dallas pope to dcl/ings Rudiger 4.5 goal keeper for -4 in 26

    which will give me 14 dgw players plus Bamford.

    And then I can bring in 3 bgw players for 29 leaving me with 8 players which will be enough I guess. And then wc if needed the next week.

    How about this plan guys?TIA.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Nice

  6. Rollercoaster
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Benching Salah complete madness?? Pool has ECL on tuesday, is it possible?

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

      I'm lukewarm on Salah right now, but he may be up against a ravaged Foxes defence.

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      If benching Salah thr logic is to transfer him for say Sterling.

  7. Rhodes your boat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    What to do with this team, 1FT 4.6itb and wc next week so can get someone for this week only

    Martinez
    Stones coufal rudiger lowton

    Forster soucek Mitchell davis

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Bring in Sterling

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

        Another?

    2. Pegboy
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Bring in a City player, my preference in order: Gundo/Cancelo/Foden.

  8. MiechuPL
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Hey, who can have DGW 26 oraz 27 and why?

    1. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes,why?

  9. Your Man With The Hair
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Assuming there's bad news from pressers today:

    Yay or nay?

    Jusitn & DCL -> Cancelo & Ings

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yay

  10. Von Lipwig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    On wildcard:
    A) Dias
    B) cancelo

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

      Get both but Cancelo is #1

    2. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Wait for Dias news

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

        WC is for the season - missing one game with a jippy tummy shouldn't be a deciding factor.

  11. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Burnley defenders hauling is a far-fetched idea. So after 3 back to back 1 pointers we expect a haul now that it is a DGW?

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

      The fixtures do point to a pair of clean sheets, and one more the next GW.

      1. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Not sure I would want a Burnley defender with this defence:
        Rudiger, Cancelo, Dias, Dallas, AWB

      2. ebb2sparky
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Your comment implies you believe 3 clean sheets is likely. If you truly believe that i suggest you place some bets since i expect you'll get very good odds. I reckon 1 clean sheet is much more likely than 3.

    2. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I personally opted for AWB who has a horrible wba and DGW 26.

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

        Fair enough, but that leaves a gap in GW25.

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

          Oh hang on, that's home to Newcastle. Okay, good pick!!

    3. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Stats are fine, fixtures brilliant.

      1. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Though the last 3 games were difficult, I would have considered them if they at least ground out one cleanie.

    4. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Lowton is enough

  12. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    To avoid burning a transfer what change would you make?

    Robertson to
    A Mee
    B Tarkowski
    C Lowton

    D Any better suggestions?

    Pope
    Cancelo Dias Coufal
    Salah Bruno Gundogan (c) Grealish
    Watkins Bamford Antonio

    Martinez Raphinha Robertson Dallas

    1. ebb2sparky
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      All week ive been thinking TAA to Mee but now im leaning towards a utd defender. Problem with Burnley is that A and B are too expensive. If Taylor was fully fit id get him but probably not Lowton. I think Pope is the best Burnley defensive option and since you already have him id go D, utd defender.

      1. ebb2sparky
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        shaw or awb due to assist potential

  13. ALTOID11

    1. Now I'm Panicking

      1. DAVESAVES
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        C, B means Sterling (C).
        A probably Gundogan (C)

        1. DAVESAVES
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Also have Son and Salah atm, one will make way for City attacker beford WC.

      Salah > Sterling.

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

      No need to WC. Just go Salah to Sterling and think about WC next week.

  25. Gudjohnsen

    Start which Hammer?

    A. Antonio
    B. Soucek

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

    Gundo TC hands up. I am currently feeling alone.

    1. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Brave, considering he may play a deeper role.

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

        Rodri looks okay, and Cancelo could play there. I'm confident enough to ordinary cap Gundo.

    2. ebb2sparky
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Personally i wouldnt. I expect i'll TC Kane although obviously not this week.

  27. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Salah + Stones > Sterling + Mee for free? Have Cancelo Dias aswell

    1. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      If you are on triple City defence I definitely would

      1. DAZZ
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks. May WC next week so it’s quite risk free anyway.

    2. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Dias might play only one game.

  28. waltzingmatildas
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    A) Salah and Stones - Sterling and Targett
    B) Johnstone - Areola

    1. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Contemplating similar moves. Do you own Burnley defenders?

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I have one - Mee. Don't have FH so trying to think slightly longer term

  29. Neevesy
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Bearing in mind I had 20 points in the bench this week and messed up every decision, I need your help.

    Play:

    A) Bamford (Ars a)
    B) Soucek (Shef H)

    I have Antonio and no Leeds cover if that makes any difference.

    1. ZakyJ
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B

  30. Pukki Party
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Could Foden be next one on pens?

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

      You never know, esp if Ederson is under consideration, but he's not been mentioned and has no history.

    2. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      dreaming

    3. poulteren
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      no....

      maybe next season or one after but he'd be jumping the queue.

      KDB, Gund., Sterling etc
