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.

      Whilst Argentina are losing, it's not even close to an issue.

    If players mentioned have the injuries as widely reported in the press - wouldn't expect too many miraculous recoveries - even if they are rushed back will they be fully effective anyway? Always a gamble - just don't like the odds!

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      This is a good point, actually.

    Can have this in 4 moves, 1 of which I'll do this gw just need all players involved to follow the script and not rise..

    Fabianski (Elliott)
    Davies Jones *Daniels (Ward *Hunemeier)
    Salah Silva *Sterling *Choupo Moting (Chalobah)
    (K)ane Lukaku Vardy

            • 9 Years

            Well I am at an advantage to others, extra planing time for my team 😉

      Exactly. ðŸ™

  5. OldBenKenobi
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Early transfer made! No longer being indecisive!
    Mkhi > Richarlison DONE!

    May still take a -4 for Firmino > Jesus

    1. arndff_
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      What was your early transfer?

      1. OldBenKenobi
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I hesitated with Firmino > Vardy and missed out. So now getting Richarlison in before he rises so I can do Firmino > Jesus/Morata

        Gives me a team of:

        Foster
        Davies, Jones, Naughton, Mee
        Eriksen, Salah, Richarlison
        Kane, Lukaku, Jesus/Morata

        Elliot, Carroll, RLC, Mbemba

        1. arndff_
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Looks nice! Good luck!

    2. VFORVANDETA
      • 9 Years

      I would do it.

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Sounds like two good moves coming up.

  6. Patty
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    RMWCT
    Elliot 4.0
    D. Luiz Otamendi Bavies Holding Martina
    Hazard Sterling Choupo Richarlison RLC
    Kane Jesus Vardy

    1. Qaiss
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I told you earlier mate Mee and Wimmer is better than Holding and Martina 😉 Good team though

      1. âš½ï¸ Dingo âš½ï¸

        This

    2. E25
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Agree with Wizard.
      I'm also trying to avoid Elliot/4.0 as it could come back to haunt you later on.

  7. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Lazy fookers. And a tosspot of a manager who's trying to be too smart.

    Might as well turn off the game now.

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Fooking Benedetto over Icardi and Dybala. Heck, even over Higuain. I almost feel bad for my ironic username, it's not funny.

    Question for Hazards new owners.

    Don't you remember that Hazard was the 'villain of the season' for Mark last season?

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Hazard got plenty of points last season even if he wasn't captainable away from home he was good value

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        He got points in the tough games; blanked in the easy games.

        1. Ghost Gooner
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          He was good value regardless, we had plenty captain options. Lukaku Kane Sanchez

  9. Hy liverpool

    What is that Bendetto guy doing in Argentina line up with all the strikers they have ?!

    Is he any good ?

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      He's fookin elite in the Argentine league. That's his fookin credentials.

      Sampaoli trying to play genius and failing spectacularly. Moron.

      1. Hy liverpool
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        It's Messi time to save you kun

        1. ★Kuntheman★
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          It's always Messi time. Anyone who criticizes Argentina doesn't realize this poor guy carries this sh**e ever since the likes of Riquelme left. And gets all the criticism.

          Praying he comes up with something really special today.

          1. Hy liverpool
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            Exactly
            Hope it ends well for him tonight

        2. Hy liverpool
          • 12 Years

          Timiiiing 😀

            Wtf

    Need to find a 0.1 on WC - Does Cedric really have any chance of dropping? Was looking promising but can't imagine many more selling him before the upcoming fixtures.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Wouldn't bet on it but he is being sold each day.

      1. E25
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Thoughts on Salah->Cout to get the 0.1 TM?

        1. OldBenKenobi
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          This is your best option

  11. dark91
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Not sure which defence is worse. Liverpool or Argentine !!

    1. Kane Train
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Ecuador's

  12. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Is Wimmer nailed in Stoke side?

  13. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Messi goal 1-1

  14. ★Kuntheman★

    CMON MESSI!!!

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Crucial goal. Need to get goals before oxygen issues kick in.

  15. OldBenKenobi
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Think I'd rather have Morata than Hazard in the next few week imo.

    Agree or disagree?

    1. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Agree, Hazard hasn't come to his level yet.

    2. Assistant To The FPL Manage…
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Yep agree Morata fit is a must have with fixtures - but how much placenta has been used? Surely if Hazard has come thru the Qualifiers ok he must be worth a go? - Morata too big a gamble?

      1. Deulofail
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        😮

    3. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Agree, I wouldn't captain Hazard with any confidence in an easy fixture, I would captain Morata with confidence in an easy fixture

  16. Positive vibes
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Hi, which is better option? Why?
    A. Alonso, Salah, Joselu
    B. Alonso, Richarlison, Vardy
    C. D Luiz, C Moting, Morata (if fit)
    Thanks, sorry repost.

    1. FC Hakkebøf

  17. Gizmo13

    WC Time...

    Foster Elliot
    Bavies Yoshida Mee Lowe Mbemba
    Hazard Sterling Richarlison Choupo-Moting Loftus-Cheek
    Kane Lukaku Vardy

    0.0 ITB

    Any suggestions? Maybe downgrade attack and improve defence?

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      No imo, looks great, not sure about Lowe though, was benched one game and subbed early in a couple, I'm guessing Hudds rotate well with Burnley. Would also go Cedric instead of Yoshida as there is uncertainty around who is first choice in their heart of defence for Southampton

      1. Gizmo13
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Who would you suggest as a 4.5m defender instead of Lowe? Chose Yoshida as ML rival has Cedric and currently playing catch up and prefer Yoshida's form.

        1. We Will Klopp you
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Clark and Simpson rotate well up with Mee up until gwks 20/19

    2. OldBenKenobi
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Seems odd to keep Foster on a WC?

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Didn't spot him, would go Pope/Fabianski/Ryan

      2. Gizmo13
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Changed to Fabianski. Any recommended 4.5m defenders?

        1. We Will Klopp you
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Gave you some suggestions up above Clark/Simpson depending on what works with ur other defenders and which defence you trust more

          1. Gizmo13
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            Yes just saw them, thanks. If I go for Clark I would be doubling on Newcastle defence, but Clark seems more appealing than Simpson due to Benitez's style.

            Also, I see that Pope has better rotation with Elliot than Fabianski, but Fabianski will be rising in price soon. Thoughts?

  18. Aussie_Toon_Lad
    • 12 Years

    Hey guys is this worth a -4 hit?
    Baily -->> Azpi
    Miki -->> Sterling

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      yes imo, 1 a good long term move, the other a great punt

    Why the hell does whoscored keep showing match info in another language even if I press English flag. Before was Russian now while page English but Argentina match details in Arabic?

    1. jia you
      • 9 Years

      LiveScore is your friend 🙂

  21. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Bringing Sterling in for Mkhi now, at 80% and players have gone up from there already. Just gonna have to hope Choupo doesn't rise

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      For.a hit? Or on a ft?

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Hit, trying to work towards this http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/comment/16679911

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Wouldnt do it for a hit regardless.. but that is just my opinion

          1. We Will Klopp you
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            I think it will pay off over 3 gameweeks, don't want 2 United attackers with their fixtures over the next 4 gameweeks

            1. FC Hakkebøf
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 2 months ago

              I would keep them both vs pool and huddersfield and then get rid on a ft instead.. that would be way smarter imo

              1. We Will Klopp you
                • 9 Years
                8 years, 2 months ago

                But then I miss out on Sterling's points and he has greater potential over the next 3 gws

    Would you take a -4 for Firmino > Jesus or wait until next GW and hopefully get Morata instead?
    I don't have any City or Chelsea players currently.

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      A hit is effectively giving away a goal, so he has to score 2 to make it profitable

    How nailed on is Stones? Could afford Otamendi but wary of his YC tally.

      Even if he gets banned its only 1 game.
