Sane scores off the bench as City continue to rack up goals ahead of blank

What to do with Manchester City assets is a major talking point in the Fantasy community at the moment.

Pep Guardiola’s side blank in Gameweeks 27 and 31 and are odds-on to do likewise in Gameweek 33, with only Championship club Swansea City standing in the way of an FA Cup semi-final appearance.

One of the drawbacks to “dead-ending” a Fantasy squad into Gameweek 31 is that assets from the likes of Manchester United, Wolves and Spurs may have to be dispensed with (perhaps at the loss of team value) in order to get a competitive team in place for that decimated round of fixtures.

Manchester City, of course, also fall into that bracket.

The counter-argument to that line of reasoning is that a handful of Fantasy assets from City et al don’t have to be overlooked for their forthcoming fixtures and could be simply benched when the Blank Gameweeks come around.

Certainly, there is much to encourage Fantasy investment in Guardiola’s squad.

In West Ham United (h), Bournemouth (a) and Watford (h), City have three appealing matches in between Gameweeks 28 and 30.

Even if their fixtures weren’t as enticing, City’s form is scintillating – as evidenced by their 6-0 demolition of Chelsea two weeks ago.

The reigning league champions have scored 49 goals in 2019 alone and Wednesday night’s victory over Schalke was the ninth time they have scored three or more goals in a competitive match this calendar year.

Guardiola’s troops have also scored 15 more goals than any other club in the Premier League in 2018/19 (admittedly having played an extra match), comfortably topping the table for shots on target, efforts in the box and big chances.

The Citizens’ latest success is recapped in the Scout Notes article below.

Schalke 2-3 Manchester City

  • Goals: Sergio Aguero (£11.5m), Leroy Sane (£9.5m), Raheem Sterling (£11.3m)
  • Assists: David Silva (£8.5m), Raheem Sterling, Ederson (£5.6m)

Having been the most-sold player of Gameweek 26, Leroy Sane (£9.5m) is well on his way to repeating that feat in Gameweek 27.

Over 600,000 of his FPL owners have deserted him since the horror show of Double Gameweek 25, with the German winger having blanked in two of City’s last four league matches and been an unused substitute in the others.

One superb goal in the UEFA Champions League likely doesn’t change much.

Coming off the bench in the final quarter of an hour of yesterday’s round-of-16 tie in Gelsenkirchen, Sane curled in a fantastic free-kick to bring City level at 2-2 and help put his side in a commanding position ahead of the second leg in three weeks’ time.

The FPL sales will no doubt continue in this Gameweek and beyond but for those Fantasy managers deciding to retain Sane’s services, there may be a tiny sliver of hope regarding his participation in the coming weeks.

On top of Sane’s dip in form, the return of Kevin De Bruyne (£9.7m) has been damaging to the German’s first-team opportunities.

Guardiola has used De Bruyne heavily since his latest comeback from a knee injury, with his return in central midfield meaning that Bernardo Silva (£7.5m) – a player the City boss has a couple of times said is almost “undroppable” – has been predominantly deployed out wide on the right flank.

With Raheem Sterling (£11.3m), another trusted favourite of Guardiola’s, consequently being switched over to the left wing, Sane has been the fall-guy.

With Arsenal and Chelsea being dispatched in style using this set-up, Sane has barely been missed.

There is a nagging feeling, however, that Bernardo is wasted out wide, while De Bruyne continues to struggle to reach his usual levels in central midfield.

This was again apparent on Wednesday evening, with De Bruyne – several shots from outside the box aside – toiling to no great effect in the centre of the park and the typically excellent Bernardo more effective when pushed inside.

David Silva (£8.5m), meanwhile, is perhaps feeling the effects of another exhausting season and at times looked jaded in the middle three.

With City having such a congested schedule (this was the first of five matches in the space of 18 days) in late-February/early-March, we will perhaps see a little more of Sane in Gameweeks 28-30 – though likely not enough to stem the mass exodus.

Sergio Aguero (£11.5m) kept up his scoring streak with an early goal, tapping in from a David Silva cut-back after the Schalke defence ceded possession when trying to play the ball out from the back.

The Argentinean striker cut an isolated figure at times and was often crowded out when attempting to shoot (three of his six shots were blocked) but – like his team – the fact that he continues to plunder goals even when below his best is what keeps us Fantasy managers interested.

Aguero led the line in the absence of Gabriel Jesus (£10.0m), who missed out through injury.

Guardiola had previously said of the Brazilian’s issue:

John Stones had a groin problem and Gabriel Jesus finished the game in Newport with a hamstring problem.

It’s not a big one but big enough for them not to be here.

Sterling was another in-form City player to venture down one-too-many cul-de-sacs against Schalke but the England winger was a constant threat and it was his direct running that led to the foul for Sane’s equalising free-kick.

Sterling then capped off his evening with a well-taken finish from a long Ederson (£5.6m) punt out – that goal coming after Sane’s introduction and after he was switched to the right wing.

The experiment of Fernandinho (£5.3m) at centre-back – and Aymeric Laporte (£6.0m) at left-back – continued but both the veteran Brazilian and fellow centre-half Nicolas Otamendi (£6.0m) conceded first-half penalties (the latter in controversial circumstances) and the Argentinean stopper was later dismissed after collecting two bookable offences – both of those players will be suspended for the second leg after Fernandinho passed the threshold for yellow cards.

Guardiola had few complaints about the penalty awards or dismissal, with the use of VAR again proving controversial in the Otamendi handball decision amid reports that the pitch-side monitor wasn’t working:

It’s a penalty. VAR last season against Liverpool would change the game for us. I am a big fan of VAR.

It will improve. When a new system starts, it’s like managers. People expect you to win every game 6-0. VAR will improve, the machine broke, okay, next time it will be better.

I support the initiative because I support fair football.

The City manager added on his side’s performance:

To go away and score three goals and the way we reacted with ten men – we played incredibly well.

I’m delighted but it’s not enough. We gifted the goals. If that happens in another stage… important players can’t lose the ball. We are a nice team to watch. We don’t know how far we’ll get.

We’re scoring an incredible amount of goals. I know as a manager and player, coming here is difficult. They didn’t do too much. We gave them opportunities.

Manchester City XI (4-3-3): Ederson; Walker, Fernandinho, Otamendi, Laporte, De Bruyne (Zinchenko 87′), Gundogan, Silva (Kompany 69′); Sterling, Bernardo, Aguero (Sane 78′).

    Those of you like me without a second WC (or anyone with a brain to be fair...)

    Am I right in seeing it's clearly more logical to use a FH in 31 than 32?

    If we plan transfers now for 32 we *could* get 15 DGWers using BB whereas the other way round we can only have 11...and also less players in 31?

    Or am I missing something? (Other than the assumption 32 is going to be the bumper week)

      I'm thinking the same way.

    4. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      It could work if Brighton lose to Millwall and you go heavy on Spurs in 32 hoping to get them in 33 and if you go with triple Arsenal.

      But otherwise 33 will be a nightmare. My guess is that there’ll be a much higher spread of points there than in 31.

      In your shoes I’d FH 33 and hold your presumed Liverpool Everton and Chelsea assets for 31

      I'm going for D and hoping he might be a differential as most will go Salah/Auba?

      Yes probably - Boruc, Heaton or Fabs all interest me. Want one that covers Guaita's bad games too ideally.

    Rumours circulating that the April TV picks are coming out today, so we *may* get some DGW fixture announcements today as well.

    1. Jafooli
      • 12 Years

      Hope BBC picks Bullseye re-runs.

      1. Now I'm Panicking

        Re-runs every night on Challenge TV 😀

    Anyone looking at Antonio rather than Anderson??

    Just worried Antonio may not he nailed....

    Thanks

    1. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Plenty are considering Rondon, for some strange reason.

    2. Bubbles1985
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Antonio is nailed at the minute.

    3. Bucket Man
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Thinking about this too. Just dumped Anderson a few weeks back as well so seems a silly move to get straight back. Leicester and Maddison probably slightly better fixtures but not this GW.

  11. FPL FREAK
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Whom to captain..?

    Son, Salah, Rashford, Pogba or Jimenez

    1. Flynny
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Son

      1. FPL FREAK
        • 10 Years

        Thanx...

    2. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Exact same choices I (and probably most) have.

      Warming to Son, Poggers as VC.

      1. FPL FREAK
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Thanx

  12. Jafooli

    Are referees allowed to award a team a goal even if the ball doesn’t go in the net?

    For example, if play was going on in and around the half way line, and then he just decides to blow his whistle, award a team a goal and point to the centre spot for a restart.

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years

      If they want to get lynched, sure.

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        But they can, right?

        Thinking of training to be a ref just so I can do it.

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I think the other team would walk off the pitch and the game would be abandoned.

        2. Now I'm Panicking
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Probably get millions of YouTube hits if you filmed it. Yeah - do it.

      Is this in reference to penalty tries in rugby?

    4. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      For some reason, this sounds like the sort of thing that happens in Brazilian leagues on a regular basis!

  13. Big Ronnie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Planning to FH in GW 32 so need to prepare team for BGW 31 even though really want to ditch the Everton lads. What transfers top do? Bilva to Anderson or Middison? Other suggestions?

    Fab
    Kola, AWB, Doherty, TAA
    Salah, Son, Pogba, Bilva*
    Auba, Rashford

    Button, Rich*, Digne*, Kamara*

    1. Eytexi
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'd do Bilva to Anderson at a minimum. Only 1 FT?

      1. Big Ronnie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah only 1FT but willing to take a hit.

        1. Eytexi
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Dont think anything is worth a hit this week, especially if you want to keep Everton assets for blanks.

  14. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Boruc and Maddison in tonight for Button and Richarlison -4

    1. Eytexi
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Maddisons minutes and contribution since GW17 dont get me excited tbh, much prefer Anderson.

  15. avfc82

    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Looking at West Ham, I'm really doubting whether its worth investing in Felipe Anderson or Arnautovic. Their non penalty xG since the turn of the year is the 18th worst in the league, only Huddersfield and Cardiff are below them.

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      They have been truly shocking away from home of late, even Bournemouth managed a clean sheet vs them

      1goal in last 4 away games

      I don’t mind punting on Rice (OOP) and Arnie if fit though, only for a few games.

      They have Fulham & Huddersfield on he horizon so should be getting points vs them at least

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yedlin as a wingback might be a better alternative to Rice @4.5m.

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Much prefer Lascelles to Yedlin for 0.1 more

          I like Rice’s set piece threat, watching a few of their games he’s always targeted, should have scored v Liverpool also

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

          Newcastle's non penalty xG conceded is the worst in the league since the turn of the year, which is really surprising. They have had some tough games though.

          1. Twisted Saltergater
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            A run of liv, wat, MUN, che, CAR. MCI, tot does that!

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years

        Yep, Fulham and Huddersfield are the best possible fixtures when in a slump.

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I have Chicharito still, never got round to binning him, so I'm playing him

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      If you want to look forward rather than back, they'll soon have Anderson, Lanzini, Nasri, Arnautovic, Chicharito, Antonio, Snodgrass all available.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Lanzini’s return cannot be overstated he looked genuinely superb before the injury, like good enough for a top 4-6 club

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

          Likely to be eased in with a few sub appearances? He's been out for a long, long time. Really good player though.

    4. MTPockets
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Agree. Not even considering until after Man City at best

      • FPL Pillars
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Finally someone with common sense 🙂

      • Reckoner.
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        If you were free hitting in GW 31 do you think, as it stands now, you would be getting west ham assets?

        Long way away but interested to know thoughts.

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

          Interesting question. Probably, largely down to the fixture, it's about as good as they come. I don't think I'd want them between 27-30 though. That being said, Felipe, Arnautovic etc are reasonable prices, so it may be worth the gamble - I'm still unsure to be honest.

          Are you investing this week?

          1. Reckoner.
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            No and won't be getting any until GW 31 with my Free Hit, if at all, was why I was asking.

      • Dr. Mantis Toboggan
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        18th worst... So second best?

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

          No, their non penalty xG is the 18th worst like I said.

          1. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
            • 7 Years

            Well I've biffed this as well, 18th worst is 3rd best not 2nd.

            If there are only 2 worse than them, then West Ham are the 3rd worst. 18th worst would mean 17 are worse than them, making them pretty good.

            No sleight intended by this, just a semantics thing that made me lol

      Driving me mad not knowing which chip strategy to use. I have no WC which isn't helping. I am thinking of building team for BGW31, FH32, BB or TC 35?

      What are people's thoughts?

      1. Gommy
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I'm in the same boat...

        I've been thinking of FH31 as I think 6 players that week (unless i take hits) may be a little too light.
        So that would allow me time to focus on building a fairly strong 15 man squad for DGW32 so I can BB.
        I think BGW33 will have far less blanks so in theory, should be easier to navigate when it comes and the same for GW35 where I'll look to TC.

        That may not be be the most popular strategy to right now but hoping we can some fixture confirmations soon that can persuade us either way.

      First season really taking FPL serious. Have stupidly used free hit in first half of season. How are people without it navigating these blanks/DGW??

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years

        just get 3x Liverpool and 3x Chelsea and you're basically there

    9. Gruu
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Planning to FH32, WC34, BB35.
      Which one would you choose?

      A). Rich 4.3def >> FAnderson Pereira (-4)
      B). Rich Kamara >> Hayden Auba (-4)
      C). Rich >> FAnderson
      D). Kamara >> Lacazette

      Fab
      Kola, AWB, Doherty, TAA
      Salah, Mane Son, Pogba
      Jimmy, Rashford

      Patricio, Rich*, 4.3*, Kamara*
      1FT, 5.2itb

      1. Eytexi
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Definetly rich to anderson. It doesnt need the hit to do A but if you're going to need to take that hit down the line anyway, may as well do it this week.

      What’s the drama with Man City assets? You’ll have either Aguero or Sterling, so keep them and bench them. Anyone else can go! No?

      1. MTPockets
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Value tied up in Pogba, Rashford, Son, Doherty, Jimenez, AWB etc

      2. Where dahoud at
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        So who would you captain outa this wee lot?
        Boruc
        Yedin, awb, scook, bennett
        Erikson, mane, Almirón, pogba
        Batshuayi, rashford

        Bench, Etheridge, robertson, hazard, aguero

        1. Eytexi
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Something tells me you have a thing for differentials. Pogba.

      3. Z3US
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        -4 worth it for a playing goalkeeper (double brighton here).. or just forget.

        1. Bubbles1985
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I wouldn't take a hit for gk

        2. RichRover
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Not for a gk

      4. Bubbles1985
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Fab
        Robertson WanB Doherty
        Hazard Sterling Camarasa Anderson (c)
        Rash (vc) Firmino Jiminez

        Button Richarlison Digne Luiz

        I have 2.2m itb and 1ft...

        Any better ideas than I have?

        Hazard > Mane

        This enables Firmino > Kun next GW

      5. Budweiser
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        So is Almiron nailed? Will he start next game? Can't be worse then Maddison and Anderson surely?

        1. Eytexi
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Anderson much better than Almiron imo, but i do like him as a pick. Not nailed yet though.

          He's their record signing so you'd expect him to start, they need him too, they've only scored 22 goals in 26 games in the league. City are close to those numbers in 2019 alone!

      6. Woy_is_back
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        A. Rich to Madd
        B. Digne to Pereira
        C. Both for -4

        1. MTPockets
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Do you need them for 11 this week? If so C otherwise not sure I'd do either

            1. Woy_is_back
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              I need one of them. A or B

              1. MTPockets
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  A, although if possible would sell Kiko before selling players with 31/33 fixtures (even Everton)

              2. Woy_is_back
                • 6 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Could do Kiko to a 4.3 too

          • meechamspowders

            this ok for this week? no FT & 0.8m itb. (I have no fit/playing subs)

            etheridge (guaita)
            jonny, robbo, shaw, AWB (holebas)
            pog, fanderson, salah, son (sterling)
            rash, jimenez (kamara)

            1. Eytexi
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Nothing worth a hit, so yep.

            Is harvey barnes too much of a gamble?

            1. Eytexi
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Im doing it.

          • davies
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Kane (C)?

            1. Eytexi
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              If i owned, maybe.

            3. FPL Pillars
              • 7 Years

              You own Kane?

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Is it worth using an FT for a GK if you dont have one playing?

            Was thinking Stek to Boruc?

            Or Could do Ederson to someone?
