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.

  1. La Roja
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Morata on for 8 minutes

  2. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    When will refs man up and give yellow cards to the entire Barca complain train? The captain should be the only player allowed to complain to the ref.

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

      Nobody should be allowed to complain. When/why do refs change decisions because of a complaint?

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

      Every match would end 6 vs 6 if thats the case.

      1. Big P
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Only once.

        They’d soon stop it

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

          Yeah but its like holding at corners... will never happen.

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

      There's no such rule in football. No one is allowed to harass a ref

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Its common sense. Its basically what the ref does whenever it gets heated up already, send away everyone but the captains. A captain wouldnt "harass" the ref.

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

          If no one approached refs there would be no votile situations to begin with.

          Refs call captains when there is repeated and systematic fouling

    4. Zladan

      Barça are terrible or doing that. Really annoys me.

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

    Why didn’t Chelsea get a free-kick for the Suarez dive?

    1. Brehmeren
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Because he wasn't adjudged to have dived. Got the yellow for dissent afterwards.

  4. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    What an awful pass from Christensen

  5. CRO KLOPP
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Besiktas can't score without Tosun,Tosun can't score without besiktas,send him back

  6. La Roja
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Pedro off.

    Barca down to 11 men

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Fab off, down to 10?

      1. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Nailed it

  7. Team Cruel

    Some youngster getting minutes up top for Chelsea. Good to see them finally promoting youth products!

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

    There's no such rule in football. No one is allowed to harass a ref

  9. Guba

    7 years, 9 months ago

    Dunno how Englishmen can celebrate a Barca goal. Is your club hatred really that much stronger than your patriotism? When it comes to European championships I'd much rather a rival won over a foreign team.

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

      Racist.

    2. the axolotl

      have u met chelsea?

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Good man - noble sentiments.

    4. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      Is that you Farage?

      1. Guba
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Ridiculous statement, having patriotism doesn't have to be so extreme and it's a shame that it's become somehow associated as a bad trait. Keep in mind English teams winning promotes the premier league and encourages more talent to come here that we can watch every week.

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

          That's exactly what Nigel would say

    5. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Nice grav

    6. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Vote leave.

    7. Runaway
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      well they have same number of English player..

      1. Runaway
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        oh sorry not anymore, Chelsea have Drinkwater 🙂

    8. SW6
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      I'd want any English club to win the competition, just not Chelsea.
      The only English thing about Chelsea is their fans and they're the worst thing about the club

      1. If that was @ me, I'm not english
      2. Chelsea are extremely easy to dislike

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

      Team Drinkwater!

    11. Mysterion

      This is club football mate, take your patriotism to the WC and Euros

      1. Guba
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        It's not just patriotism though, it's actually good for the premier league to have teams progressing and maybe even winning the cup so that it increases the strength of the PL. It's good for your club football, how is that hard to understand.

  10. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Is the parent club clause in the CL that you can't play more than 83 minutes?

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

    Fab needs to sort his barnet out

  12. F4L

    Morata would start a fight in an empty room

    1. Fresh_From_Desh
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      He'd miss the target

  13. Team Cruel

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

    Alonso really looked like Christensen in that replay passing it to Iniesta, Bemba 😛

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

      Racist

  20. Rik Waller
    • 8 Years

  21. Big P
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Soggy Biscuits yellow card.

  22. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    A)Mahrez or B) Vardy?

    Wilson to make way if B
    Wilson probably benched if A
    Have Firmino + Kane

  23. La Roja
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    If Barca goes through, do Chelsea go to Europa League?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      No

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

      Yes. Next season if they don't make top 4.

      1. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Yes, any team who doesn’t make top 4. Well done

    3. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      No they go back to everyone hating them again

      1. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        lol

  24. Pooodle
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Any changes recommended to this wildcard team? Will free hit in GW31.

    Fabianski, McCarthy
    Jones, Van Dijk, Monreal, Lowton, Mariappa
    Salah, Sterling, Eriksen, Arnie, Carroll
    Kane, Firmino, Vardy

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

      Change Jones Erik and Carroll

      1. Pooodle
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        I presuming Jones will be fit, otherwise will swap him.

        Who would you recommend for Eriksen and Carroll?

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

          Mahrez or Ozil could be your first transfer after City

          Carroll to Doucoure?

  25. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    BT commentator absolutely clueless. "What theyve learned after tonight is they need a big striker up front" 😆

  26. Lucky Z
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Alonso blanked. Glad I sold him for VVD before price drop.

  27. FPLHaggis
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    2 FTs...how many of these moves would you make?

    1. Kun > Kane
    2. Hazard > Mahrez
    3. Lingard > Walcott
    4. Jones > VvD

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

      All of them.

  28. UpAndAway
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    What's everyone doing with Jones? I lose 0.4 if I move him on. Also have Alonso who I was planning to get rid of first.

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

      Everyone is selling him for VvD.

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

      is he deffo out or bc of fixtures?

    3. Pooodle
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      I'm keeping if he's fit. Great value especially if you got him fairly early.

      Waiting till Friday.
