Blanks for Sterling and De Bruyne as cheaper City differentials return

Burnley 1-4 Manchester City

  • Goals: Gabriel Jesus (£9.6m) x2, Rodri (£5.4m), Riyad Mahrez (£8.3m)| Robbie Brady (£5.5m)
  • Assists: Bernardo Silva (£7.9m) x2, David Silva (£7.6m) x2 | Jeff Hendrick (£5.4m)
  • Bonus: Jesus x3, Rodri x2, David Silva x1

Manchester City put four goals past Burnley on Tuesday evening but, in keeping with the season so far, there was still plenty of frustration to be dished out to Fantasy managers.

A late Robbie Brady (£5.5m) strike made it five league matches without a clean sheet for Pep Guardiola’s side, while well-owned premium midfield options Kevin De Bruyne (£10.3m) and Raheem Sterling (£11.9m) weren’t involved in any of their side’s four goals.

Indeed, City’s three goalscorers last night were all Fantasy Premier League differentials, with ownerships of less than 5%.

There was at least further reward for the FPL bosses who punted on cheaper alternatives David Silva (£7.6m) and Bernardo Silva (£7.9m), who both bagged a brace of assists.

While semi-frequent rotation in the wide areas puts a dent in Bernardo’s appeal (he has started just nine of City’s 15 league fixtures, although one of his absences was enforced through suspension), David Silva continues to shine in the mid-price midfield bracket.

He continues to be overlooked, too: he sits in just 8.0% of FPL squads and only 3.74% of the top 10k teams, despite being only two points behind Sterling and offering better value for money (based on points per million spent) than any other City asset.

Sterling (14) and De Bruyne (13) are the only outfielders in Guardiola’s side who have started more games than Silva (12) this season, with the veteran Spaniard’s most-recent benching at Liverpool owing much to an injury he carried into the game.

His underlying stats are significantly inferior to Sterling’s but then, of course, they should be given that he is over £4.0m cheaper.

While his second assist was of a fortuitous nature – a blocked shocked falling to Rodri (£5.4m), who hammered home a superb strike from distance – he had earlier teed up Gabriel Jesus (£9.6m) for the Brazilian’s first goal and created more chances than anyone else on show.

Jesus himself caught the eye, although let’s not forget that these were his first goals in 11 matches for club and country and that this victory over the Clarets came just days after the striker put in a poor showing at St. James’ Park.

Sergio Aguero (£11.8m) mightn’t be out for too much longer, either: we know from Guardiola’s recent comments that he will miss the Manchester derby but his availability beyond that is uncertain.

Still, credit where credit is due – Jesus’ first goal was a superb curling effort to break the deadlock and his second a tidy volley from close range from a teasing Bernardo cross.

His movement caused Burnley’s backline problems all game and he almost grabbed a third when firing narrowly off-target in the second half.

Guardiola said of the Brazil international:

We need Gabriel Jesus. The strikers are there to score goals. We need him. His effort and commitment is always there. He’s very important for us.

It is not easy to replace Sergio, but the team doesn’t have doubts about him.

Strikers score sometimes, sometimes not. We need the quality of player up front to make the difference.

I’m so glad for him. He is a fighter. I want him to try and be aggressive in this position. It is important to have the mentality. No doubts about the quality. I’m so optimistic about what he can do, he scored two exceptional goals.

As for Sterling and De Bruyne, the pair could easily have been among the attacking returns again following their goals in Gameweek 14.

Only an outstretched Nick Pope (£4.7m) boot prevented Sterling from tapping in the Belgian’s excellent low cross from point-blank range, although it should be said that that was about as good as it got for either player in Lancashire.

It’s difficult to pinpoint exactly what’s wrong with Sterling from an FPL perspective, as he wasn’t particularly wide – an accusation that has been levelled at him this season – at Turf Moor last night.

Nor have his underlying stats taken a dip from 2018/19 (on the contrary, in fact), for those that pay heed to the numbers.

Perhaps it’s the continued absence of the explosive Leroy Sane (£9.3m) that has prevented City from really opening teams up and thus provide space for Sterling to exploit, although the England winger did haul without his teammate on occasion last season and earlier in this campaign.

Whatever the reason, he doesn’t look quite the same threat we know he can be at present.

Goals have never been the main part of De Bruyne’s game and his “worldies” against Watford and Newcastle underscore the fact that he is a scorer of great goals, rather than someone who regularly gets on the scoresheet.

His own form has perhaps taken a slight dip since his return from injury but he still looks like he could grab an assist at any moment, such is his ubiquitousness in open play and at set-piece situations.

For those clinging on to the two premium City midfielders, there was at least some good news: the pair were substituted midway through the second half with perhaps one eye on the Manchester derby, while Sterling avoid picking up a fourth booking of the season that would have caused him to miss Saturday’s match.

It was Sterling’s replacement Riyad Mahrez (£8.3m), incidentally, who wrapped up the scoring with a fine solo goal.

Owners of City’s defensive assets would have been peeved at the concession of a late consolation as the hosts had offered little in the way of attacking threat before that, with Rodri dominating the midfield and the recalled Nicolas Otamendi (£5.0m) having a comfortable match at centre-half.

In Burnley’s mitigation, injury deprived them of a left-back, one of their first-choice central midfielders and one half of their first-choice strike duo, while it was asking a lot of Danny Drinkwater (£4.4m) to stem the City tide in his first league start since 2017/18.

Charlie Taylor (£4.2m) and Ashley Westwood (£5.4m) were both absent entirely from the match-day squad, while Ashley Barnes (£6.3m) was only fit enough for a half-hour cameo off the bench in the second half.

Sean Dyche said of his injured trio:

Chaz [Taylor] is a hamstring, maybe for the weekend, we’ll have to wait and see.

Westy’s groin, got a chance for the weekend by protecting him tonight.

Barnesy’s been more of an ongoing thing. He did great to get out there at the weekend but it looked like it affected him, so we had to protect him for tonight.

Easier tests await the Clarets’ assets in Gameweeks 17-19 (and beyond, depending on your view of Manchester United) but the medium-term outlook is not so appealing, with Dyche’s side second-bottom of our Season Ticker over the next ten Gameweeks.

For owners of Pope, the hope will be that he can compensate for any clean sheet losses with save points – and the England custodian indeed picked up one of those on Tuesday, making four stops.

      Cantwell.

    2. Boomerang V

      I would play Cantwell

      1. Sailboats

        I have no spot for him.

      Thanks all

  2. Eleven Hag

    Would you do the Son- Alli double up at the expense of either KDB or Robbo??
    ------------------------------------
    Gazza
    TAA Lund Robbo
    Mane KDB Son Mount
    VArdy Abraham Raul
    bench: Soy Kelly Donkey
    ------------------------------------
    A) Robbo + Mount ➡ Williems + Alli
    B) KDB + Mount ➡ Alli + Pulisic

    1. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I’d keep Robbo.

      1. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Even with TAA in the team?

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      A

    3. DF
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I quite like the look of B but if anyone is a season keeper for me, it's kdb. I reckon you'll end up getting kdb back in the future.

      1. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Thank you...wud u recommend selling robbo for the double up?

        1. Il Papera
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          GW18 isn’t a good time to have three Liverpool players either.

    Nothing wrong with being lucky and getting points of the bench. You have to have brought in the bench players at some point and deserve the points you get.

    1. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      As someone getting these jammy points, I am happy to admit it is very lucky.

    2. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      A big chunk getting Kelly/Rico on for Martial and potentially Abraham

      1. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        My whole ML getting this with them firmly on my bench.

    3. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      It takes significant jam for a no show to occur and a bench player to haul the same gameweek. That's why it's lucky. Most people who had to call on Rico from their bench lately got 0 and 1 pointers

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

      Not at all. Luck plays a massive part in this game after all.

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        This

  4. Boomerang V
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Now that Palace lost Sakho and PVA for a while, is Guaita still a good replacement for Pope?

    I could also go for Henderson but I have Lund and I am not a fan of doubling up.

    Or I could just keep Pope and don't burn a FT on a goalkeeper.

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Go Henderson

    2. andy85wsm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Pope owner here. Agree on the double up.

      It doesn't look bad for what's happened so far but how confident am I going forward they'll keep being defensively sound for the rest of the season? (given we don't want to spend too many transfers on keepers I'm thinking long term).

      With Spurs (a) and Newcastle (h) next I'm not too worried about keeping him for a couple more after not getting rid vs Man City

      1. Boomerang V
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah, NEW is a great fixture and the next two are ok (bou, eve). So I might just keep him and hope for the best.

    3. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Pope owners should have binned him before the City game.

      1. Boomerang V
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I almost did Pope to Guaita for a hit, which would have payed off, but I wasn't brave enough.

    4. Free Hat
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      If they can even do it with 10 men for 70min. I think they will still be solid somehow.

    5. XabiAlonso
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Well they kept a clean sheet with these two off the pitch and down to 10 men so I'd say it is still worth it

    6. All about the galacticos
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      was thinking that myself, also with henderson cheaper is something that appeals

  5. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    What to spend the 1 FT/1.7 in the bank on?

    Upgrade 4th def Janmaat to ?
    Other moves?

    Know all this will lead to a benching problem, but need solid benc to deal with rotation. And not cool to leave that much cash unused.

    Henderson
    TAA, Soyuncu, Lundstram
    Mane, Kdb, Pulisic, Son
    Vardy, Abraham, Jimenez

    Subs: Button, Cantwell, Janmaat*, Rico

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Get Alli somehow?

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I would get Aurier and start him over Soyuncu.

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks, like that suggestion!

      2. Free Hat
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Like it too.

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

        That's what I'm doing

  6. Free Hat
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Have 2ft for next week.
    Looked into the possibilities of :

    A. Salah + dendo -> Alli + Pulisic
    B. Salah + Connoly -> Alli + Tammy

    Surely good moves,
    But also means removing Salah vs Bou & wat, what feels wrong somehow (Have Mane though).

    Thoughts? Hold of the moves till gw 18 or...

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      B

    2. DF
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I reckon I'll be captaining salah for the Bournemouth game

      1. Free Hat
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        First ive to see some improvement on fitness and form to capt him again. Hope hes back to his old tonight!

        1. DF
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Indeed. B could easily smash a hold to bits. Good luck.

          1. Free Hat
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Thx. You too.

    3. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Guess salah will get rest in one of those league games before the important CL clash given his injury concerns

      1. Free Hat
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah could be.
        Thing is last year I just sold him before hattrick vs bou away.
        Afraid of making that same 'mistake' again!

  7. I Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Did people actually start Rico? Thought Pool def, Leicester def and Lundstram was everyone's defence.

    1. lindeg
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      no one serious actually did, hes second or third on most benches

    2. andy85wsm

      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Apparently not that many as a % - https://twitter.com/BenCrellin/status/1201972945091989519

      1. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        He will come off the bench for some with Tammy, Martial, etc... in the starting 11

    3. Sailboats
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Nah, Martial and Tammy likely wont play, so hes coming on for them I guess

  8. Raf
    • 14 Years

    Mount to Alli or
    Kdb to son?

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

        Cheers guys!

  9. Maddamotha

    How would you spend a 1 FT here? 2.8 ITB

    A) Mount > Pulisic/Alli
    B) Greenwood > Mousset
    C) Save
    D) Smth else

    Guaita
    TAA, Soy, Tomori, Lund
    Mane, KDB, Son, Mount
    Vardy, Jimenez

    Button, Dendo, Greenwood, Rico

    1. Free Hat
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Mount to Puli or Maddie

    2. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      A, Alli

    3. Maddamotha

      Cheers

  10. Coys96
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    How to get Alli:

    1. Zaha to Alli (free)
    2. Ings and Dendoncker to Alli and Greenwood (-4)
    3. Jimenez and Dendoncker to Alli and Mousset (-4)

    Quiet like 3 as Wolves fixtures turn, but could cause benching headache!

    1. Free Hat

      A

      1. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        The problem is, I just got Zaha in this GW, so it seems very stupid of me (and I took a -4)!

        Should I still do it?

        1. Free Hat
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Spurs playing burn at home next so could be worth it.
          Alli much better pick in long run than Zaha as well.

          1. Coys96
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            True, thanks

              • 11 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Same boat as you with Zaha but got him free. I'm looking to ship him out too!

      1. Coys96

        True

    3. claretparrot

      1 all day long

  11. rozzo
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    If you had Rico first sub would you be hoping Pulisic no shows or would you be confident he could beat nine points?

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I'd want a no-show but thats very unlikely

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      The odds are he won't beat 9 points

    3. Free Hat
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I will hope for a start at least.
      Dont think pulisic will be rested for 90min either way.

    Well, I missed the deadline... 😳

    Just watched the extended highlights for the City game on Amazon.
    1. De Bruyne could have had some points with a bit more luck, so I'm happy to keep him. Surely the most nailed on over a busy xmas period?
    2. Jesus :star: :star: 😀 The first goal was beautiful, and hopefully he continues scoring until Kun is back.
    3. Mahrez has been criminally underused at City...

    1. Piggs Boson

    2. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Mahrez deserves to play more. Sterling has been crap for some time. Yea I know they dont play the same position but surely someone like B. Silva could swap to the left with Mahrez coming in on the right. Sterling just isnt working on the left with the current City system.

      Jesus seems the most nailed, would be very surprised if KDB isnt benched at least once over the christmas schedule.

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah, Sterling is at his best when he's in and around the box, but in this role he's often deep and wide. Not a fan of that role for him. He can be very effective on the left, as he demonstrates for England, but he needs a more direct role than the one he's getting at the moment.

        Jesus depends on when Aguero is back though. Pep said he's not fit for United, but "we'll see" afterwards. No idea what that means.

  13. Don Kloppeone

    4 years, 3 months ago

    Playing around with my plans for the next few weeks. Which of these combos do you prefer?

    Mané, Alli +

    A) Maddison, Pulisic
    B) Maddison, Son (No CHE attack unless I get Tammy back)
    C) Son, Pulisic (-4)
    D) KDB, Pulisic (-4)

    Thanks!

    1. TH
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      D... but not sure about Pulisic rotation

      To be more sure B

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks mate

        I feel like Pulisic will remain a good option, he seems very explosive and I would have a strong bench of (Grealish/ Ings, Willems/ Soy, Rico) to cover if he misses some.

        The Son/ Alli double up is a tricky one - if you jump on early and they become essential then the rank boosts will be amazing but it could also be too much - it's early days with Mou - who knows!

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks Amey!

        I think Pulisic has got to be a good asset going forwards, he is explosive, has good stats and Frank seems to have taken to him. I will have a strong bench to cover any rotation hopefully.

        KDB vs the Allis/ Son double up is a tough decision and one I might put off for a couple of weeks to assess how TOT do under Mou

        What's your plan for next week?

            Nice moves yeh

            You'll end up with very similar team to me eventually! Great moves

            I currently have this:

            1FT 6.7itb 😆
            Pope, McGovern
            TAA, Lunds, Soy, Willems, Rico
            Mané, Alli, Maddison, Mount, Dendo
            Vardy, Jimi, Ings

            Planned moves are:

            Mount > Pulisic (this week)
            Maddison > KDB or Son
            Dendo > Grealish
            (Rico > Aurier) - undecided!

    Why are Premier league games now being streamed from the Amazon.

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Because they burnt up the forests to make football fields

      1. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
        • 5 Years

        Is that sustainable.

        1. Zimo

          Nopes. Our grandkids are gonna suffer for sure

            Ban VAR and BPS.

      Premier League loves money.

    3. Now I'm Panicking

      Sold up the River

    4. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Cheaper than Sky and BT, i;ve heard. Plus better quality, 4k.
      Free trial this month too.

      1. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Can only use the free trial once though, so won't be much help for the next 2 seasons.

        1. Differential C (Mark)
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          7.99 pounds per month, though, in quality 4K. Compared to the ripoff that is Sky and BT.
          Plus you can mute commentary.

          1. De Gea Van Dijk. 10

            Plus free next day delivery. Plus movies and tv shows. Pretty good deal.

              Highly recommend Preacher and The Boys. Superb shows, and exclusive to Amazon.

                • 8 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                Buddy has been recommending Preacher to me. Might just plunge myself into another addictive TV show.

          3. Fred54
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            £7.99 a month for 2 GWs is actually more expensive than Sky, BT etc.

            1. Differential C (Mark)
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Can watch any live match you want.Not selected by the broadcaster, by YOU.

              Searched football gives choice of matches, use back arrow bottom left to go to matches.
              Took me a while to sort it.

            That's an amazing deal. In Canada DAZN is GBP 11.99/mo.

      2. g40steve

        Not better quality the stream had a few faults last night over the two games.

        1. Differential C (Mark)
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Probably still working out the chinks in its baby steps, but in terms of value for money, BT and Sky are f***ed.

          1. g40steve
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            I have everything, UHD Q, Netflix, 68m BB anytime calls, extra boxes £82pm.

      Six months FOC then six months £3.95 😉

    A Lacazette haul would be a thing of beauty.

    Would make it hard to ditch him though...

      You need some luck.

  16. Differential C (Mark)

    Its rare when City destroy another team with my City asset blanking and it having little impact on my OR. Usually it is an automatic rank killer.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Depends what other teams do who haven’t got city assets like me 😉

    2. rozzo
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Just how many people directly below you have Jesus and the Silvas though?

      Not many I imagine.

      I guess everybody above me has KDB, anything he does is meaningless towards my rank

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Thats probably it, like the article says, its the cheap differentials that returned. Great for one-city-asset teams like mine, surely non-City assets are not feeling too shabby either.

    3. Fred54
      • 9 Years

      What do you expect from Ota?

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Ota? Havent looked at City defensive assets since Aymeric got injured to be honest.

        Mistakes

  17. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Which one sounds best to get Son?

    1) Auba Maddison to Tammy Son
    2) Auba Hayden to Mousset Son
    3) Other?

    Henderson
    TAA/Lund/Soy
    Mane/KDB/Maddison/Pulisic
    Auba/Vardy/Jimenez

    Button/Tomori/Rico/Hayden

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      2. Wouldn't take Maddison out with nice fixtures ahead

      1. Atimis
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Sounds good, just afraid Auba may punish me

  18. FPL Daniel

    Why all of sudden people are assured Tammy wont play?

      Need that sweet sweet RIco 9 pointer off my bench.

      1. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*

        ugh

    3. Gooner Kebab
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      They have Rico or Kelly coming on as subs

    4. jtreble

      Nothing is assured.

  19. Big boy Bowen

    COME ON SALAH!!

  20. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Tonight should be intense - 9 players in my team to play!!

    Roll call:

    Vardy (C)
    Jimi
    Ings
    Mané
    Alli
    Maddison
    Mount*
    TAA
    Soy

    Then tomorrow night I have Lord (and Willems if any of the above don't play)!

    Assume most have similar tonight?

  21. SuperDan
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Pick one:
    A) Soy, Son, Pulisic
    B) Play Rico or Kelly, Son, Alli

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      A

      Leicester defence is one of the best in the league, so Soy is still a bargain. I really like Pulisic.

  22. Differential C (Mark)

    7 people have triple captained John Fleck.
    John flippin Fleck.

    You know what's going to happen, don't you?

    1. Old Man

      That would be great - Fleck 17 pointer. 😀
