Recapping the best Man City players ahead of FPL restart

Manchester City players are the talk of the Fantasy Premier League community ahead of Double Gameweek 30+, with good reason.

They face Arsenal and Burnley in the opening round of Project Restart matches.

We are currently recapping every team in the Premier League as FPL prepares to resume later this month, using data from the period just before March’s coronavirus suspension.

While we appreciate that much has changed since then, it still serves to know who went into lockdown in the best form.

We continue that series with a full examination of the Manchester City squad, using Gameweeks 23 and 29 as our selected period as they missed out on Gameweek 28 due to the League Cup final.

    Raz is the one for this DGW !!!

    1. Queens of the South Age
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I still have him from when I brought him in for the double so I'm going to keep the faith and let him have his Arsenal game.

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Good company for me then 😀

        Win the whole thing. Good luck mate.

        1. Queens of the South Age
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Thanks mate. From what I can see 2nd still has his bench boost and wildcard but the ones below don't so hopefully get off to a good start this week and make a gap.

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Yes !!
            I'd be very very happy if someone from FFS wins it.
            It's like my community 😀

    2. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Not for me. 14 blanks in last 18 gws is shocking for 11.7m player

      Will be heavily rotated now with games coming thick and fast and Sane is back is another threat

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        You're right. He's a one week punt for me.
        Next GW he'll become Mane or Son

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I am with ya!

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Great to know that bro 😀

    4. jtreble
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Ederson could easily outpoint him ...

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I am not arguing 😀
        One week punt !

    5. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Hello Amey mate! Hope you’re keeping well.

      Personally I’m using Mahrez to spread funds rather than Sterling. Just don’t think he’s worth the extra cash given we have no clue how many mins he’ll play in the usual Roulette!

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Don, my brother 😀
        I am very very happy to see you !!
        Hopefully you and your family are doing well.

        And yes, RAZ is an expensive punt. But i have Mane who's Everton away who don't really like you guys 😛
        So i am taking a punt

        1. Don Kloppeone
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Happy to see you too!

          I decided to ditch the 0.2 I had on Salah for BB ahead of WC next week. May as well stick to a standard-ish strategy! My team’s on the next page.

          How you feeling about the run in?

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            I have only FH remaining.
            Team i am running now is:

            Leno
            Taa Egan Siass
            Raz KDB Bruno Grealish
            Auba© Vardy Jimenez
            3.9 lascelles Luiz Taylor

            Raz will be Son & Freakish will be Martial in subsequent GW.

            I am buzzing for the start bro 😀

            Replied on your post next oage

          2. Amey
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            I am possibly going without a pool attacker.
            I hope Klopp will rotate like hell after 2/3 GW's.
            Next 3 GW's aren't really high scoring pedigree too.

            So i will take that risk ti get Auba Sonny Martial Bruno Vardy KDB in one team

  2. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Ederson, KdB and Sterling.

  3. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    You folk reckon Mahrez is worth a punt? Only 8.5 mill, but could easily either start both or be benched in both... =o/

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      It's a lottery tbh

    2. Karhumies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Between Pepe, Mahrez and Özil Mahrez seems like best punt out of the three.

      Jesus over Aguero is a ballsy option. Both might well start 1 match and come off the bench in the other.

  4. Warbling Wendy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Saka... 4.7, could be a great bench option this double gameweek for bench boosters? Or is his place in the side not certain?

    1. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Id rather pay extra 0.3 for fleck who's nailed on and could sneak in with a goal or assist

      1. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Cantwell worth considering?

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Not certain but he’ll get some minutes for sure with tierny coming back from injury. looks a good player but hasn’t backed it up with goals and assists yet

    3. wycombewanderers
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Not for me

  5. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    11 of Agueros 15 benchings this season in all competitions has been away games (73%)

    So its highly likely Kun starts against Arsenal and Burnley at Etihad with 4 days rest in between. Jesus likely to start at chelsea away imo.

    Thoughts? Kun Captain locked in atm

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I can see rotation in Burnley home game. I can easily afford him and get him. But i am going with Raz & Auba combination

      1. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Sterling is not worth it. 14 blanks in last 18 gws is shocking for 11.7m player

        Will be heavily rotated now with games coming thick and fast and Sane is back is another threat

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          You're right about his season. I am taking a punt. Let's see how it goes.
          Will sell for son/mane next GW anyways

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      It entirely depends on the fitness and health of the players, nobody is really certain to start at this stage.

  6. Canary_Kid
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Worth using FH this week to get in DGW players without losing 0.4 on DCL, 0.3 on Fernandes, 0.3 on Trent etc.?

    McCarthy Button
    TAA Doherty Saiss Egan Taylor
    Salah KDB Fernandes Martial Saka
    Auba Jota DCL

    1. Easy Cheesy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Very similar to mine w three wolves, taa and salah. I’m leaning towards the FH in gw30 as I think the GW31+ looks good for most of mine. Then WC in Gw32 when there is info on who is playing etc

      1. Canary_Kid
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah was thinking that as well. Just doesn't feel right using the FH in a gameweek we have unlimited transfers

  7. wycombewanderers
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    How's this DGW BB one week team looking?

    Ederson Leno
    TAA Lascelles O connell Basham Targett
    Grealish Pepe KDB fleck cantwell
    Auba Aguero Samatta

    Any feedback appreciated - thanks

    1. Exeterslowly
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Is it worth spending money on two DW keepers when only
      One is guaranteed. It’s nailed on so no risk of not playing. Otherwise good line up.

  8. zdrojo187
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    FH Team...

    Leno*
    Basham*,Baldock*,Targett*
    KDB*,Sterling*,Grealish*,Ozil*
    Auba*,Kun(C)*,Vardy

    Button,Lascelles,Kilman,Amartey
    Any suggestions or GTG?

  9. OleGGMU
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Hi Lads
    great to see the season return, i hope everyone is well.
    looking for an RMT and transfer advice

    Currently

    Hendo
    TAA, VVD, Egan, Baldock
    Mane, KDB, Bruno Fern
    Auba, Rash, Jimi
    Bench : Pope, Saka, Lasc, Douglas Luiz

    0.5 ITB

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Sick team no improvements needed love that Rashy

      Can you check out mine?

      1. OleGGMU
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers for the reply mate, much appreciated, yeah Rashy is a bit of a leap of faith for the first gw back, trusting mourinho's bad record against ex teams to continue.
        Thoughts on Jamie Vardy + Martial as an alternative to rash+ Bruno?

    2. Exeterslowly
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Obviously you are not interested in the upcoming DG

      1. OleGGMU
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I do have interest in it but looking at long term aswell

        Thoughts on this were I to commit to the dgw

        Hendo
        TAA, VVD, Egan
        Mane, KDB, Grealish, Fleck
        Auba, Kun, Jimi
        Bench : Pope, Saka, Lasc, Williams
        0 itb

  10. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    0.0 ITB
    Leno McCarthy

    AWB TAA C.Taylor Lascelles Egan

    Bruno Salah KDB Grealish Fleck

    Raùl DCL Kun

    Any suggestions? I’ve only got BB left.

    1. OleGGMU
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I like it, prem return is complete unknown and Kun is always a top pick and arsenal are notorious defensively
      I like the spread out in def, had c. taylor and ditched for baldock

      im guessing a 3-4-3 or 3-5-2 is best to go for the first gw back ,benching either fleck or DCL
      if I were to switch things up for just this gw, perhaps AWB to an SHU/wolves def to partner TAA+Egan

      Otherwise, g2g imo

  11. Easy Cheesy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Any views on a FH using kdb, sterling, mahrez and auba, laca and nketiah? It isn’t going to win team of the week but probably covers you from Benching frustrations? Then three shu defenders/ GK and grealish and TAA

  12. Aaa
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Any thoughts on this for gw30+? Plan to wildcard 31+

    Henderson/Leno
    TAA/Lund/Targett/Boly/Ake
    KDB/Mahrez/Grealish/Fleck/Willian
    Aguero/Auba/Samatta

  13. Jullepuu
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Which one should I drop from these 4 and why? (No wc left)
    Salah, KDB, Auba, Kun

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Salah probably. Tough next few and then win the league by then. Not without risks clearly.

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

        Between Salah and Kun at the moment. Close call

    2. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Auba

  14. Warby84
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    What’s the best mid-priced forward..

    A. Ings
    B. Pukki
    C. Calvert-Lewin

    Other strikers are Jimenez and Aubameyang..

    1. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Currently leaning towards DCL

    2. Exeterslowly
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah DCL as well but fixtures not great. I’d rather hedge my bets on one of the wolves pair

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

      Leaning towards Pukki as they are fighting to not get relegated

  15. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts on Ayew?

    1. Exeterslowly
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      You are joking right

    2. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years

      Troublemaker, deservedly banned from here ages ago 😛

      1. Champions League Varane
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        ??

        Jordan Ayew of Crystal Palace.

    3. Exeterslowly
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I don’t think he is a threat at all and I think they have some tough fixtures as well. What about one of the Arsenal pair up top?

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I’ve got him in as 3rd striker with jimi and rash

        Then again I’ve got a 2 million rank and no chips left

    4. Exeterslowly
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Rash is a good bet but he has been out for a while and they have spurs who might give his back a test. I have FH him out this week but will be back next week along with martial and Bruno. I’m not even a Man U fan! Haha

  16. Tinmen
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Damn, it’s good to be back!!
    Okay folks, how’s this bench boost looking?

    Hendo Leno
    TAA Egan Stevens Mendy Mings
    KDB Sterling Grealish Cantwell Fleck
    Auba Tammy Jimenez

    1. Exeterslowly
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Not bad. Personally mendy and Tammy are the risky picks but good team

  17. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Bournemouth looking to complete the great escape in VFPL?

  18. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    For those thinking of BB this week and WC next GW. If you're selling players you have value tied in with the intention of getting them back on WC, its worthwhile noting that you'll be buying them for more money, and have less funds for a strong bench. With the amount of subs and likely rotation, I think a strong bench for the remainder of the season is essential.

    1. Drexl Spivey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Some great bargains though.

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Great value in defence available.
      3rd bench player can be fodder.

      O don't seee any problems with less TV currently

  19. Sike
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    People are seriously missing a trick with Vardy..

    I’m going to remain silent.

    2. Drexl Spivey

      Clean sheet for the Hornets.

    3. FCSB
      • 8 Years

      yes, but from 31+ onwards

    Pope/Henderson
    TAA Doherty Boly Lundstram Fernandez

    3 years, 9 months ago

    Evening Folks hope you at=re all safe and well,
    It's great to be back and with a DGW to boot.
    How is this for starters? BB team

    Hendo-Reina
    TAA Lundstram Mings-Saiss Lund
    Grealish Ozil KDB Fleck-Saka
    Aguero Auba Jesus

    My thinking was with the 5 subs there is a definite chance both Aguero and Jesus will be used.

    1. It's his Job.
      • 10 Years

      2nd Lund is Maguire-Sorry

  26. King Henrik
    • 12 Years

    Currently sitting like this, No chips used just gonna choose 8 or 9 Dgw players and take it from there, Any advice would be amazing. Thanks

    Henderson
    Trent O'Connell Egan Targett

  28. TheTinman

    Is there a better 1 GW punt than Mount? Not a DGW player though.

    1. Exeterslowly
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Could be but is he better than Barnes as a punt outside of DG week?

      1. TheTinman
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Think it's between them two

  29. Exeterslowly
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    I agree about Aguero but it’s a gamble not having him in. I think only KDB is nailed on the rest depends on Pepe roulette
