An unceremonious defeat at the hands of League One Wigan may have scuppered Pep Guardiola’s quest for a legendary quartet of titles but Manchester City’s Premier League form has been as strong as ever.

After sweeping five goals past Leicester in their final fixture before the FA Cup break, City have now found the net an impressive 79 times this season – a full 18 clear of their nearest rival, Liverpool.

With five attackers – Kevin De Bruyne, Raheem Sterling, Leroy Sane, David Silva and Sergio Aguero – all past the 100-point threshold in Fantasy Premier League (FPL), City have clearly proven themselves to represent our most reliable source of regular Fantasy points.

As 19,000 delirious Wigan fans discovered on Monday night, however, there is a marked difference between City’s form at home and on their travels.

In this latest Technical Area article for members, we will put this under scrutiny, with particular reference to the merits of keeping faith in Man City’s attacking assets.

        Can't. My sign-on is refused !
        I was. I had plans for the 2nd overhaul period !
        But that's gone!

          I mean the Chelsea Barcelona game

            I'm not watching it. I'm reading the Moral Landscape by Sam Harris.

              Impressive multi-tasking. Funnily enough, that book is sitting underneath the TV that I'm currently watching.

                It's not your fault you haven't read it, if Sam Harris' Free Will is anything to go by.

        Not enough obviously to raise any kind of zeitgeist on here or other forums or pods.

            Attica! Attica! Attica!

            Why is this not being discussed at all ?

            1. McEwan

              Sky game is pretty overlooked here mores the pity as I have enjoyed it more than fpl in the last season and a half. Just got to look at the sky article and there is barely a comment about it.

              About the verification, haven’t experienced it myself but can totally agree it should be done on registration and be done with it. Any e-mails to sky fantasy or tweets to get a response?

              1. FrankieTheGent
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 11 Years
                7 years, 9 months ago

                Yeah. Emailed Sky Sports and to my surprise all I could get was an admission they didn't control the game but SkyBet did.
                And then on-line chat with SkyBet were they had no leeway to budge.
                I mean I could have easily given a bill or passport or something but it became the principle of a gambling site corrupting a game that should be open to all ages PLUS the fact I was frickin' invested in it already.

    What BGW keeper are you playing/planning to get?

    1. Fat Frank
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Foster

    2. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Probably none.

    4. Phil's Stamps
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      I think Lossl is a good mini differential for that GW if you can get in all the key faces and have a FT to burn

        He's right. Just heard it on 5 live

    Iniesta is well past his best, surprised he's still making this team

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Aye but him nowhere near his best is still better than others' best.

      1. the axolotl
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        yeah perhaps. but for Barca, i think they could have someone better at this stage. Goals have completely dried up for him last few seasons, and not many assists either. you'd expect him to be getting a few given how many his team scores. there's more to his game etc, but still

        1. Delima
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Although it was a horrible mistake by Chelsea, Iniesta was quite fast on the ball when providing the assist for Messi.

    2. Rik Waller
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Because of that shot?

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Iniesta past his best is still better than the vast majority who've ever played the game.

      1. Delima
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        This.

    So the upshot of Man City losing to Wigan is that we will have fewer blanks in GW35 - is that correct?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Upshot depends on your view of it...

      City or Spurs will play in GW35.

  8. Phil's Stamps
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Can someone explain the reasoning for choosing Dawson over Hegazi for GW31, I just don't get it.

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Hegazi cheaper

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Don't see the reasoning over getting any WBA players tbh.

    Chelsea need to win this 2-0 to give them a chance of going through.

  28. diesel001

    Hazard, Willian, Batshuayi - best combo for Chelsea IMO. Watch their match against Brighton - best football Chelsea played this season.
