Sane and Sterling handed 90-minute run-outs ahead of Everton clash

The two Manchester clubs rounded off their UEFA Champions League group campaigns in contrasting styles last night, with City emerging with a win from an entertaining encounter against Hoffenheim and a much-changed United team slumping to a 2-1 defeat in Valencia.

With both of these Premier League sides having already qualified for the last 16, little was riding on these glorified dead rubbers – though Jose Mourinho’s troops, it transpired, could have unexpectedly sealed top spot in Group H with a victory.

We round up all the goals, assists, team news, Fantasy talking points, manager quotes and injury news from the matches at the Etihad and the Mestalla on Wednesday evening.

Manchester City 2-1 Hoffenheim

  • Goals: Leroy Sane (£9.5m) x2
  • Assists: Gabriel Jesus (£10.1m), Raheem Sterling (£11.6m)

The good news for owners of Leroy Sane (£9.5m) and Raheem Sterling (£11.6m) is that both wide midfielders once again produced performances full of positivity and attacking intent last night.

The not-so-good news, of course, is that the premium pair lasted 90 minutes of what was an effectively meaningless contest, less than three days before City take on Everton in the Premier League.

Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m) watched this one from the bench and the Algerian’s circa 200,000 FPL owners must fancy his chances of starting against the Toffees on Saturday afternoon, having had a full week off to recover from the 2-0 defeat at Chelsea.

Since the resumption of play after the November international break, Sane has started all six of City’s matches: that’s half a dozen appearances in the space of 19 days.

The assumption that the Germany international would become more prominent in Guardiola’s first-team plans because of Benjamin Mendy‘s (£6.2m) absence has certainly panned out, though a rest is surely imminent for the in-form winger.

It may, of course, transpire that a benching will come in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday instead, and Sane certainly didn’t show any signs of fatigue in an end-to-end spectacle against City’s German opponents on Wednesday.

Sane levelled the scores at 1-1 just before the interval with a superb free-kick, before grabbing his second of the evening on the hour when finishing off a rapid breakaway move.

Guardiola was asked about Sane’s performance after the match:

Really proud. I am a lucky guy. But I’m not a lucky guy to [just] have Leroy – I have many.

The game opened up in the second half, with Sane, Sterling and Bernardo Silva (£7.5m) contriving to mess up a three-on-one counter-attack just minutes before Sane scored the match’s winner.

The energetic Sterling, who was handed a rest in the Gameweek 15 win over Watford a week earlier, was just as conspicuous in City’s attacks, registering four key passes and three shots – the best of his chances being something of a sitter, provided to him by Phil Foden (£4.6m).

Guardiola had this to say on Sterling after the game:

Top. Unfortunately, the finishing or last pass (wasn’t there) but he is young. He will improve. His performance was excellent.

Sane and Ilkay Gundogan‘s (£5.4m) set-piece deliveries also caused plenty of problems, with Gabriel Jesus (£10.1m) and Nicolas Otamendi (£6.1m) striking the woodwork with headed attempts and John Stones (£5.3m) forcing visiting goalkeeper Oliver Baumann into a save from another Gundogan delivery.

Gundogan was perhaps the pick of City’s central three midfielders on a quiet night for Bernardo, while Foden drew praise from his manager after the game following a fine performance alongside his more senior colleagues:

Second half, the team was much better. Not just Phil but in general over 90 minutes, and Phil was outstanding.

I never had doubts. The quality he has with the ball… he looks skinny, but he is really strong. He is a huge talent. England has a diamond.

It’s not easy to play in the big clubs, to play with David (Silva), Kevin (De Bruyne), Bernardo (Silva). He is incredible, in training sessions every day… he has had minutes and will have in the future.

Against German teams, it is so demanding, but he played like a man.

Stones was deployed at right-back as Guardiola stuck with his customary 4-3-3 – Stones tucking inside to form a three-man central defence when left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko (£4.7m) bombed forward – but the England defender struggled in his role and was replaced at the break.

It transpired that the decision wasn’t tactical, however, with Guardiola providing this injury update after the game:

He had a problem. He didn’t feel comfortable in the first half with his knee, it’s not a big issue but he didn’t feel comfortable.

Ederson (£5.8m) produced a sensational stop from Andrej Kramaric in the first half to highlight his own worth to this City side, also making a vital save from Reiss Nelson after the break.

Jesus, meanwhile, provided plenty of impressive movement up top but once again lacked a cutting edge in front of goal, highlighting just how much Sergio Aguero (£11.2m) has been missed over the past fortnight.

Manchester City XI (4-2-3-1): Ederson; Stones (Walker 45′), Otamendi, Laporte, Zinchenko (Delph 64′); Bernardo Silva (Kompany 85′), Gundogan, Foden; Sterling, Gabriel Jesus, Sane.

Valencia 2-1 Manchester United

  • Goal: Marcus Rashford (£6.9m)
  • Assist: Ashley Young (£5.7m)

That substitutes Ashley Young (£5.7m), Marcus Rashford (£6.9m) and Jesse Lingard (£6.7m) were Manchester United’s best players on a dismal evening in Valencia said all there is to know about the Red Devils’ performance for much of this encounter.

Those three players indeed combined for United’s consolation goal late in the game, with Rashford nodding in Young’s cross after Lingard had kept the ball in play on the byline.

Jose Mourinho also seemed to confirm those three players would start on Sunday when asked whether that trio would feature against Liverpool:

You have only to find eight more.

My team improved really when I made the changes I didn’t want to make, which is a little bit of frustration because I didn’t want to play the three players that I played in the second half.

Rashford’s deflected, long-distance shot on 72 minutes was the first attempt on target United had registered all game and although they threatened thereafter, the England forward’s 87th-minute goal was the only effort on target the visitors recorded from inside the Valencia box all match.

Juan Mata (£6.2m) and Paul Pogba (£7.8m) admittedly wasted glorious opportunities when prodding wide from close range but this was a United performance devoid of inspiration, with some truly abject individual displays thrown into the bargain too.

Mourinho had made eight changes to his side from the starting XI that beat Fulham on Saturday, but not one of those players laid down a marker ahead of the trip to Anfield this weekend – though the United boss said the club’s injury crisis may mean that a few of his underperforming squad members might be needed on Sunday.

The United boss said:

Not pleased.

I didn’t learn anything from this game. Nothing that happened surprised me at all.

We have lots of players that were not here today because they are injured. This is our squad, these are our players. Of course, they have chances to play Sunday.

Mourinho said his hand was forced by injuries, regarding Wednesday’s team selection:

[Chris] Smalling is injured. [Victor] Lindelof is injured. [Matteo] Darmian is injured. [Anthony] Martial is injured. [Diogo] Dalot is injured. The only two players I could bring and I didn’t were [David] De Gea and [Nemanja] Matic.

You are the first ones to make statements saying how many minutes Matic is playing, saying week after week he needs a rest. If he doesn’t have a rest when we’re already qualified, he will play until he explodes! Of course, it’s a normal option to leave him out.

With David, it’s a question to give a match or not to [Sergio] Romero.

Marcos Rojo (£4.9m), who particularly struggled at left-back, also picked up an injury during the game.

Mourinho said:

Last week, we had three matches with the majority of players playing all the time. I had no other options including a player like Rojo, who I expected to play today and give a rest to Young for example.

At half-time, Rojo is injured and is out.

Phil Jones (£5.1m) had a night to forget at centre-back, scoring an own-goal and being partly culpable for Valencia’s other strike, when his headed clearance fell straight at the feet of goalscorer Carlos Soler.

Andreas Pereira (£4.5m) and Fred (£5.5m) failed to make any sort of impression on rare starts, while Pogba was a long way from his best but was perhaps the pick of United’s midfield three – which is faint praise.

Romelu Lukaku (£10.7m) was anonymous too, failing to register a single shot on goal and recording the worst passing accuracy percentage of all of the outfielders on show.

Owners of Liverpool’s Fantasy assets have plenty to be encouraged about when United visit Anfield on Saturday, given last night’s display and the number of injury doubts Mourinho has going into that fixture.

Manchester United XI (4-3-3) Romero; Valencia, Bailly, Jones, Rojo (Young 46′); Fred (Rashford 57′), Fellaini, Pogba; Mata, Lukaku (Lingard 69′), Pereira.

    I think I am going with Sane and Alli and not Hazard and Bernardo. Thus My team would be:

    Fabianski
    Alonso, Robertson, Kolasinac
    Son, Sane, Sterling, Anderson, Alli
    Kane, Jimenez

    Hamer, Kamara, Bissaka, Balbuena

    Thoughts please guys?

      Too much Tottenham.

      1. EgyptianKing
        • 5 Years

        Would you take Sane and Alli out, and bring Bernardo and Hazard in then?

            I feared as much when he wasn't even in the squad for the CL. A bit annoying to have got him in on WC when he was back from injury two gws ago, for him to now seem like a permanent yellow flagger.

      2 clean sheets in 10. I'd manage those hopes.

  8. Dybala10
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Who would you rather until GW22?

    A) Vertonghen/Alderweireld
    B) Luiz (own Alonso)
    C) Kolasinac/Bellerin
    D) Laporte
    E) TAA

    1. Lazaretti

      E if he's fine, D if not.

  9. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Trippier to Luiz or Laporte?
    Luiz allows me to do TAA to Robbo long term

    1. Alpharius
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Luiz, taa to robbo is a good move

      1. Alpharius
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Is trippier definitely out then?

        1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Looks like it

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

          Dang. Robertson and cook to TAA and trippier on wildcard has burned me.....

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

      I would go Luiz and bring Robertson. Robertson for me is a season keeper

    3. Dybala10
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Luiz easily. Has the fixtures and Robbo is a great pick.

    4. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years

      Cheers all

  10. EgyptianKing
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    What are your thoughts on Hazard? Worth investing in him? Too expensive?

    1. Alpharius
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I don't think he's too expensive. He's going to be involved in most of chelseas goals and they have good fixtures coming up

    2. Bullet Eder
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Will be right up there at the end of the season. Not too expensive, but very frustrating to own in my experience.

    3. Goat
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I’m happy to own for now. Don’t think I would bring him in though if I didn’t own

      1. Konstaapeli
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Would you pick on wildcard?

        1. Goat
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah probably

    4. EgyptianKing
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Thank you all.

      Really cannot decide between
      1) Hazard and Bernardo
      2) Alli and Sane

      🙁

      1. Gommy
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        In my experience, this period is all about solid picks that are least vulnerable to rotation (and a strong bench).

        Hazard = the most nailed and every chance of delivering high points with these fixtures
        Bernardo = Certainly less vulnerable to rotation all season and even more so now considering David Silva. Picking up the odd goal and assist this season.
        Alli = Slight chance of rotation with Eriksen/Moura/Son/Lamela all being fit and on average delivers slightly less than Bernardo this season
        Sane = Could be explosive but high rotation risk with Sterling/Mahrez/Aguero/Jesus across that front line.

        For me, the more reliable picks would be Hazard & Bernardo over Alli & Sane.

        1. EgyptianKing
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Mate thank you very much for your insight and time to answer.

          I agree with the points you mentionned, however I also feel Alli and Sane might be gold over this period.

          With all this in mind, I have to say I am now leaning towarda Hazard and Bernardo

    Am I stark raving mad to start Success (CAR) over Richarlison (mci) this week? I fear my double City defence is clouding my judgement.

    1. Dee Lixon
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      City has been letting in goals recently and there seems to be a doubt about Fernandinho (don't know where that comes from though) so I would play Rich.

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

      Yes

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

      I'd play Richy I think but it's a close call.

  14. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔

    Getting Trippier ahead of Alonso on WC GW15 looked good till 1 week :(,

    1. Alpharius
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I feel your pain. A real shame as he was nailed on at the start of the season and spurs' fixtures are so nice

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah, sadly Wilson and TAA injuries have come at the wrong time otherwise I would have thought of Holding him 🙁

        1. Alpharius
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          We may have similar teams I have Trippier, TAA and Wilson too :p

            1. Alpharius
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              Pickford (Steklenburg)
              Alonso, Trippier, TAA, Doherty, AWB
              Salah, Sane, Siggy, Fanderson, Camarasa
              Aubameyang, Wilson, Jimenez

              2FT, 2.3m ITB

              I'm considering:
              TAA, Siggy & Wilson > Kiko Femenia, Hazard & Chicharito for a -4
              Or) TAA, Siggy > Robertson, Son (and just hold Wilson)

    Thoughts on this team? Good to go?

    Patricio
    Alonso - Robbo - Laporte
    Sterling - Hazard - Martial - Richa - F.Anderson
    Kane - Wilson

    4.0 - AWB - Bennett - Kamara

    1 FT 0.0 ITB

  17. Dee Lixon

    5 years, 3 months ago

    TAA, Siggy, Wilson to Robertson, Son and Success for -4?

    Would give me:
    Ederson
    Robertson, Alonso, Digne, Doherty (AWB)
    Sterling, Son, Anderson, Fraser (Kenedy)
    Kane(C), Aubameyang (Success).

  18. Lignja
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    A. Taa to Luiz/Belerin/Kolasinac keep 442
    B. Taa, Hojberg to Schindler, Snodgrass switch to 352 -4 (don't have Wh attack)

    1. Dee Lixon
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Not worth a hit so A with Luiz

  19. All For One
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Have the league tables been updated properly? I should have a -8 for transfers but doesn't seem to be minus on my total yet

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Will have done it instantly as the first total is put in

      1. All For One
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        so its done - transfers were added?

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah mate -8 will have been done

          1. All For One
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            cool thanks for the reply

    2. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      When did you make the transfers?

    3. Udo
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Add your score, and see where you end up. Will be 8 less on your overall 😉

  20. Dele
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    I've got 2FT, 0ITB and currently have this lineup... what do to?

    Thinking of removing Keane but not many good replacements at the 5.0 budget after Doherty went up to 5.1.

    Ederson,
    Alonso, TAA, Schindler
    Sterling, Sane, Anderson, Richa
    Kane, Auba, Kamara

    Button, AWB, Keane, Gunnarson

  21. EgyptianKing
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Does Anderson justify its premium over Snoddy, in your opinion?

    Anderson and Rich out // Snoddy and Hazard in is a good move?

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

      Not in my opinion. Would either go Camarasa etc cheapies or Anderson.

  22. Konstaapeli
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    On WC.

    A) Sterling, Laca, Wilson & TAA
    B) Hazard, Kun, Jimenez & Kola

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      B).. Though kun is risky. Maybe auba and then a switch when Aguero starts starting again

      1. Konstaapeli
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Got Auba & Laca now. On B I'd keep Laca for the next one or two and get Kun when he's fit.

  23. micsway
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Laporte to Doherty for some cash...

  24. Scotty B
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Who to start this week?

    A Richarlison
    B Kamara

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

      A.

      Kam unlikely to start IMO & Richarlison in good form vs a City side that has been good for conceding lately, and could be missing Fernandinho.

  25. Dynamic
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Best option to bring in on wildcard?

    A) Wilson
    B) Mitrovic
    C) Chicarito
    D) Jimenez

    1. Bavarian
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Chicharito

    2. Woy_is_back
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      B

  26. aarrgghh
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Wilson to Jimenez(-4) or play Frazer?

    1. Bavarian
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      of course play Fraser

    2. Woy_is_back
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Play scottish messi

      1. BARIO MALOTELLI
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Hahaha legendary

  27. Teoninja

    Why wasn't Chambers in the team against Man Utd? Is he gonna play next games?

    1. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Ranieri...

      "Chambers suffered a little problem and was in London, he didn't come with us."

      Asked if he will be back for next Saturday's game against West Ham, he added: "I hope, I hope he is ready to be back."

    2. Woy_is_back
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Omfg why do you have Chambers 😀

      1. Teoninja
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I'm just writing an article, don't have Chambers, I swear ;D

      2. avfc82
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I considered him on my WC, he's cheap, like really cheap, been playing regularly and gets a surprising number of shots off from the DM position. There are worse options IMO.

  28. Bavarian
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Any suggestions to improve my team? 1FT 1.1ITB

    Fabianski
    Alonso-Robertson-Laporte-Doherty
    Salah-Sane-Fraser
    Aubameyang-Jimenez-Chicharito

    Patricio-Richarlison-WB-Hojbjerg

    1. Dynamic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Patricio -> Hamer to free up some money

      1. Bavarian
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        to do what?

  29. All For One
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Is double Chelsea defence risky?

    Have Marcos Alonso already but since Trent is injured thinking of transferrring him out for David Luiz

    1. Woy_is_back
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Wouldnt go there.

      1. All For One
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Who would you get my back 4 is

        Trent,Alonso,Laporte.Bennett,Peltier

    2. Konstaapeli
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      It could work out nicely. They got the fixtures.

    3. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Great fixtures and one of the best defences in the league, I don't think it's risky.

      1. All For One
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        cool thanks guys

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

      Why not

    5. Bavarian
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      go for it

      1. All For One
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        will go for it

    6. Dybala10
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      My thinking too because Luiz smashes everyone else out of the park with his stats. Think I'd rather spread the risk.

  30. Woy_is_back
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Hopefully Sterling is benched or should I do Salah-> Sterling?
