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.

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…

    Fabianski
    Cancelo | Stones | Mee | Coufal
    Salah | Fernandes | Grealish | Gundo (c)
    Ings | Bamford

    Martinez | Antonio | Son | Dallas

    This look as though it is the best way to set up this team?
    Cheers.

    1. DangerFC
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Looks solid enough to me

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

        Cheers.

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I would risk starting Antonio ahead of Coufal

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

        Interesting point as I do have Fab.
        I went this way last week and got CS points for 1/2 WHU defenders as Coufal was on my bench.

        Will be listening in for team news.

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

      Antonio over Bamford, guess either he plays or not

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I wouldn't bench Bamford. Bamford on pens, Leeds have great away form and Arsenal are not solid at the back with injuries to Tierney and Partey.

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

          yes I'm fairly sure Bamford will remain on my field again this week.

  2. DangerFC
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    What's everyone opinions on dias will he play or not? Vote now

    Yes or no

    1. The_Fish
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I’m holding

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

      Probably

    3. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'm kind of leaning that he'll play, but waiting for 13:30 to see if Pep says anything

      1. Booked4Dissent
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        If there is ANY doubt left from the press conference, then I am swapping for Stones

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

      Leaning yes.

    5. BullDogTevez
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Holding and playing, hopefully get 1 game out of him, otherwise he'll be ready for the next double.

  3. The 12th Man
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Pick 2 of 3 going through the doubles to go with Watkins.

    Kane,Ings,Bamford

    If Bamford is included then Mee would have to play the DGW 26.

    1. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'm strongly considering Kane, I think Kane and Bamford for me

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        If I decided Ings over Kane which I’m not keen on I’d be getting Sterling in or Salah back probably.

    2. Boly Would
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Kane and Bamford for me

      1. Booked4Dissent
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yes, same

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Kane, Bamford and Watkins are the forwards I'm aiming to have for 26. Currently have DCL, Antonio and Bamford

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I currently have DCL,Antonio,Watkins. So we’re heading in the same direction.

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I already have enough itb to do Antonio to Kane and its an easy downgrade from DCL to Watkins

    4. Kudo Warrior
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Ings/Bamford for 24/25
      Kane/Bamford 26 onwards

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Ideally, yes but means another transfer.

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

      Kan a ert
      Ings due to more dgws. Hopefully they will improve with key players back

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

    For those watching Burnley games how has Pieters played?

    1. Kudo Warrior
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Well.

      If you have him I'd keep. If you want to bring him in, I wouldn't.

      It's likely that as soon as Taylor is back Pieters will be dropped. Wait for the presser today but Taylor may play 1/2 of the games this GW.

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

        Agree with this. I'm switching him to Dallas in 25, but he's currently a don't buy don't sell.

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

        Thanks, asking because i own Taylor and hoping he will get his place back when fit.

  5. Bishopool
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Simple question.

    Which player will score the most points in this DGW? Who will you CAPTAIN? 🙂

    a) safe bet
    b) differential

    1. DangerFC
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I think foden but I don't have him... And I'd have to take a -4 to get him in!

    2. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I actually don't see any safe bets, really. I think one could argue that most picks this week are differentials!

    3. Alexis Nonsense
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I’d say Gundo is safe bet as most top 100k managers have him and lots will captain him. I don’t own him and I’m chasing so wouldn’t cap him anyways.

  6. Bobby_Baggio
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    In my draft league who would you rather have please?

    A) Rodrigo
    B) Soggy
    C) Doucoure

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

      B

    2. ElliotJHP
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B A C

    3. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Siggy

    4. Bobby_Baggio
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Got to love the autocorrect with B

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

    How does this look?
    GW22 Coufal -> Pieters
    GW23 Wood/Grealish -> Kane/Raphinia

    Current side

    Martinez
    Mee Cancelo Stones
    Son Salah Bruno Grealish Gundo
    Wood* DCL*

    Johnstone Bamford Coufal Dallas

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Villa most likely to have a double in 26 and a game in 29. I wouldn't lose Grealish

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

        Aye I know, tricky to maneuver isnt it!

        Might have to ignore Kane or bin DCL I think

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Definitely cannot ignore Kane. Lose DCL

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

        This

  8. Rinseboy
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    bench
    A - Son
    B - Coufal
    C - Both and get Tark for a -4 (for Mitchell )

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      If Dias is out then Coufal. If Dias is fit then Son. Burnely def is not worth a hit

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

    Here's one for you
    Bench:

    A) Bobby Reid (eve bur)
    B) Coufal (SHU)
    C) Grealish (bha)

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A - don't get blinded with doubles.

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

        That's what I'm currently thinking yes. But last few matches he was playing more advanced and also scored in gw21

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I can't comment on how he is playing at the moment but when you look at his mins and points, it doesn't look great

    2. ElliotJHP
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B, let those sweet doubles blind you

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

      B for me. You get 4 just for A playing.

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

        Yes, but he is a slight rotation risk,

        1. Rog.
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          True, I guess if comes down to what is more likely out of a West Ham clean sheet and BDR playing both games for me.

    4. Booked4Dissent
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Don’t bench someone with a double. I benched Justin when he had a double to play Bamford in single. Justin got 13 points more than Bamford.

    5. Kitman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Love the polarized views on this message board! leaves you with more questions than answers!

  10. Legohair
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Would you WC this team is GW25?!?!?!

    Martinez-Steer
    Dias-Stones-Justin-Coufal-Mee
    Salah-Bruno-ESR-Son-Grealish
    DCL-Bamford-Antonio

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Depends on what chips you have left, how you plan to bring in Kane if not WC and how you plan to navigate DGW26 and BGW29

      1. Legohair
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I have bb and tc left also

  11. Rog.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Play 2

    A) James (NEW)
    B) Shaw (wba)
    C) Cresswell (SHU)
    D) Dallas (ars)

    Would you play a third over Watkins (bha)?

    TIA

  12. Silecro
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Morning.
    Any advices on what to do here? 2 transfers free, 0.9 itb

    Pope
    Dias*, Stones, Coufal
    Salah, Bruno, Son, Grealish, Gundo
    Bamford, Antonio*

    Martinez, DCL*, Dallas, Bednarek

    * Doubtful

    1. Booked4Dissent
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I have the same 1st XV as you but I have Pieters also. I am benching Son. If no more news on Dias, then I am swapping for Stones. Plus transferring in a second Burnley defender for injured Justin.

  13. Holmes
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is Watkins worth it if it means picking a 4.5 defender instead of Dallas?

    1. Rog.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not for this week but in general it depends on the other four defenders.

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

        Dias, Cancelo and Cresswell are the core defenders. Dallas or that 4.5 defender will just cover Cresswell when required

        1. Rog.
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I think you could always do with decent cover for Cancelo so I’d probably lean towards bringing Dallas in.

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

      Going forwards yes.

  14. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    All I want is clear answers on my players with yellow flags. If they're injured, just confirm it, give them a red flag and let me get rid of them. Please don't give me any of this "we will see" nonsense!

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

      DCL is red in my view.

      But they can't flag him with no news.

  15. dando89
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone else really considering Foden? He's had a couple of rests recently and when he has played has been good. Too much risk on the pep roulette?

    1. Rog.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I bought him in but only because I couldn’t get Sterling and needed a midfielder

  16. Budgies
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    G2G?

    De Gea
    Cresswell, AWB, Dias, Cancelo
    Gundogan, Bruno, Salah, Son
    Bamford, DCL

    Martinez, Antonio, Maddison, Targett

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I would start Antonio ahead of Cresswell or Son (if Dias is fit)

  17. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Worth getting a Burnley defender in?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      only if you don't have Pope

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      if WCing soon or have a spare FT

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

    What time is Pep's presser for news on Dias?

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

    Can't get me head around what's happening with DGW, BGW .etc at all... I don't have the mental capacity for it. 🙁
    When do we think it's all a bit more solidified and on the ticker?

    I've a WC and TC left, no idea what I should be doing.

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

      TC gw26.

      Hold WC till your team is in pieces.

      For some... this week!

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

        Thanks Man. I've got DCL, Digne, Antonio, but I've three playing peeps on my bench so think I'll save the transfer.
        Just struggle with all the "up in the air" DGWs .etc 😐

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

        Agree with this. If you can get a team out, hold, and reassess next week.

  20. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Mendy to Martinez with FT or save?
    Pretty sure I'll be making that move in 2 weeks anyway so might as well do it now?

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

      not this week with Wilson out

  21. TheBiffas

    new article

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

    Does the return of KDB affect Gundo's position on the pitch/points potential?

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

      He was bossing it before KDB got injured.

  23. upforgrabs
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Best 1 week striker punt?

    A) Richarlison
    B) Barnes
    C) Play Bamford

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

      A, Burnley strikers do we need em?

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

      Cavani but his pattern seems to be half a match then a full match and he's played in the cup this week.

  24. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Bamford to blank this gw and Soucek to haul.

    Stranger things have happened.

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

      Wouldn't be at all strange. I'm happy to play bamford.

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

    EPL mirroring FPL now?

    Cancelo to cover in defensive midfield and Gundogan to continue as the creative and attacking free role?

    https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/man-city-rodri-injury-spurs-19817801

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

      I can see that. Will be really exciting to watch Cancelo and Gundog in midfield.

  26. ShaunGoater123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    is a -4 here madness?

    DCL> Ings
    Son > Sterling
    Stones > Mee

    Pope
    Maguire / Cancelo / Mee
    Sterling (C) / Salah / Fernandes / Soucek / Gundogan
    Ings / Antonio

    Mccarthy / Bamfrod / Targett / Dallas

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

      There's short term merit but Son looks a pick in gw26 and moving forwards.

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

      I'd do it if WC-ing next week. Otherwise I'd just do 1FT (probably DCL>Ings if you can) and reassess next week.

      1. ShaunGoater123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        yep can afford to do just that.

        leaves with 2 FT's next week so would try and avoid wildcarding then and save it for maybe 30 after the big blank. the sterling move is to block a ML rival who i know will captain him

  27. DangerFC
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    If dias is a doubt after presser would you swap for cancelo for free?
