How De Bruyne’s new Man City role affects his FPL credentials

Wolves 1-3 Man City

  • Goals: Raúl Jiménez (£8.5m) | Kevin De Bruyne (£11.6m), Phil Foden (£6.5m), Gabriel Jesus (£9.5m)
  • Assists: Daniel Podence (£5.5m) | Raheem Sterling (£11.5m), De Bruyne
  • Bonus points: De Bruyne x3, Foden x2, Jesus x1

Kevin De Bruyne‘s (£11.6m) new role at Manchester City looks set to have a massive impact on Fantasy Premier League managers this season.

Having spent much of 2019/20 in a central midfield trio, the Belgian was deployed as an out-and-out number 10 in Monday night’s 3-1 win over Wolves, something that heavily influenced his 13-point haul.

De Bruyne registered a goal and assist at Molineux, spending the evening causing unending problems for a defence that has been the Premier League’s best since Gameweek 25 of last season.

In that time, Wolves had ranked best for shots in the box conceded, big chances conceded, shots on target conceded, expected goals conceded (xGC) and clean sheets. But De Bruyne’s more attacking role helped Manchester City dismantle Nuno Espirito Santo’s men with relative ease.

The Belgian’s number 10 duties were facilitated by the addition of Nathan Aké (£5.5m) to Pep Guardiola’s squad. That meant, despite Aymeric Laporte (£6.0m) missing the game, that Fernandinho (£5.5m) was free to return to midfield, where he formed a defensive patrol alongside Rodrigo (£5.5m).

“Fernandinho will be really important. He’s 35 years old and he cannot play every three days. Last year he struggled a lot to be fit for most of the season but he played really well with Rodri [against Wolves]. They were both good with and without the ball.” – Pep Guardiola

They were an effective pair in terms of protecting Manchester City’s back-four from Wolves’ attackers for most of the game, allowing De Bruyne to focus only what was in front of him. As already mentioned, the result was a man-of-the-match performance from the premium midfielder, as he tormented Wolves all night long, scored a fifth penalty in all competitions since February, and threw himself into the captaincy conversation for a Gameweek 3 visit to the Etihad Stadium for Leicester City.

“Not just today but since we came back, every training session I feel (De Bruyne) is incredibly committed. Right now, he is an incredibly important player for us. He always was but with the situation, we are in now he is so important. He played really well, shot an incredible penalty, he was strong and he did it perfectly. The amount of assists, how he runs. He played really well, like the whole team.” – Pep Guardiola

The question is, will Guardiola continue to use De Bruyne as a number 10? It is always impossible to second-guess the Manchester City boss, of course, but considering how effective his 4-2-3-1 formation was at Molineux, it would make a lot of sense to deploy it against Leicester too.

In many respects, Guardiola will be restricted in how much he can tweak his team selection for Gameweek 3 considering the number of absent players right now. Bernardo Silva (£7.5m) is out until the international break, while Ilkay Gundögan (£5.5m) has tested positive for coronavirus.

“Joao (Cancelo), Bernardo (Silva), Oleks(andr Zinchenko) and Sergio (Aguero) will be longer probably after the international break. That is the situation today but it will maybe change a little bit.” – Pep Guardiola

Those absences should leave Guardiola with no option but to roll with Fernandinho, Rodrigo and De Bruyne in midfield against Leicester. Meanwhile, the City manager has done his Fantasy counterparts a favour in terms of peace of mind, by revealing on Monday night that the Thursday-evening EFL Cup match would mostly feature younger and academy players instead of key first-teamers.

Meanwhile, Aguero’s ongoing absence boosts the FPL credentials of Gabriel Jesus (£9.5m), who got his first goal of the season in Monday night’s win.

While Raheem Sterling (£11.5m) and Phil Foden (£6.5m) still have to compete with Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m) and new signing Ferran Torres (£7.0m) for starting berths on the flanks of attacking midfield, there is a lot more certainty of starts for Jesus until Aguero returns.

The Brazilian made the most of his first outing of the campaign at Wolves, acting as a tireless member of the attack and going close to finding the net before his stoppage-time goal.

In the 42nd minute, he provided an excellent cushion header for De Bruyne to ghost past Willy Boly (£5.5m) and get one-on-one with Rui Patrício (£5.5m). The Wolves goalkeeper produced a fantastic save to deny the Belgian, who would have earned an assist for Jesus.

In the 52nd minute, De Bruyne played an outside-of-the-boot pass to Jesus, who came back across Conor Coady (£5.0m) and saw his left-foot shot saved by Patrício again.

Then, late in the game, the striker surged forward on the counter-attack and fired a powerful shot from distance that Patrício did well to tip around the post. It looked as if it would be a night of bad luck for Jesus owners in terms of attacking returns, until De Bruyne rolled the ball to him on the edge of the box, allowing him to blast home a deserved goal.

With Leicester, Leeds, Arsenal and West Ham the next four matches for Manchester City, an attacking double-up would certainly have its merits. As already mentioned, Jesus looks the most nailed-on option outside of De Bruyne for anyone looking for such a set-up.

As much as Manchester City kept Wolves at bay for most of the game, the home side did force their way into proceedings during the last half an hour, a spell which helped fine-tune how best to invest in their assets moving forward.

Nuno’s men face an excellent run of upcoming games, putting them against West Ham (away), Fulham (home), Leeds (away), Newcastle (home) and Crystal Palace (home) between now and Gameweek 7.

Perhaps the safest bet has to be Raúl Jiménez (£8.5m), whose headed goal against Manchester City means he has two in as many appearances at the start of this season.

But with his price still causing a few issues for the big spenders in midfield, Fantasy managers are considering Daniel Podence (£5.5m) for their teams, and with good reason.

Like Jiménez, Wolves’ number 10 has two attacking returns in two. In his case, they are both assists but Podence’s first goal of the season does not look a long way off.

In the 53rd minute, makeshift wing-back Adama Traoré (£6.5m) got the better of Benjamin Mendy (£6.0m), squaring the ball early to an unmarked Podence hovering in the middle of the box. His shot on the turn was off-target, but this passage of play was indicative of the positions Podence has been drifting into from the flanks of Wolves’ front-three.

Pedro Neto (£5.5m) found some joy behind Mendy a few minutes later, cutting back to Podence in the box. While he let the ball run for Ruben Neves (£5.5m) with a dummy, it was another promising position taken up by Wolves’ number 10.

Then in the 59th minute, Podence was put through one-on-one with Ederson (£6.0m) and came close to finding the net with a lob that landed on the roof of the net.

And nobody will forget the way Podence helped put Wolves back in the game. It was him who produced the exceptional cross for Jiménez’s header… just seconds after nutmegging De Bruyne (?!).

Podence’s ability is there for all to see and we are likely to see investment in the £5.5m man over the next few days based on form, price and fixtures.

However, it is worth just keeping our readers informed of the caveats that come with transferring the former Olympiacos man for Gameweek 3.

It seems fair to say that Podence’s chances of further starts are, to some extent, reliant on the shape Nuno chooses each week. So far, he has operated in a 3-4-3 formation, which accommodates two wingers, while a switch to 3-5-2 could put Podence in competition with Neto and Traoré for the right wing-back slot.

While Wolves are without a recognised like-for-like replacement for Matt Doherty (£6.0m) in that position, a new signing at right wing-back could also put Traoré back into contention for a place in the front-three.

Meanwhile, Vitinha (£5.0m) offers competition on the flanks of attacking midfield, and Wolves are expected to unveil the signing of Nelson Semedo very soon.

For the short-term, Podence has probably earned a start in at least the next match based on merit, although it is interesting to note that, despite two strong performances, Nuno wants him to improve moving forward.

“I think (Podence) is improving. It’s about the complicity with his teammates. He has more knowledge and the talent of Daniel is huge. He is very talented, has quality and is a fighter. He did well. He must improve like everybody. He must be more clinical in the box and that will be beneficial for us. We are going to work. Every day is a day to improve. Of course, the more games, the more complicity, the better we can be.” – Nuno Espirito Santo

Meanwhile, options in the Wolves defence took an interesting turn in Gameweek 2. After it appeared Ruben Vinagre (£4.4m) had lost his place from the start of the campaign, Marçal (£5.0m) was forced off with an unspecified injury eight minutes into the Manchester City match.

Nuno could not reveal the extent of the problem post-match, but anyone still holding Vinagre should pay close attention to his Gameweek 3 press conference later in the week for updates.

“We must assess (Marçal’s injury). It was just at the beginning of the match. He felt something and now we are going to assess. Let’s see. He said that he felt something and was not able to continue, so we immediately made a substitution so things didn’t get worse.” – Nuno Espirito Santo

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI (3-4-3): Patrício; Saïss, Coady, Boly; Marçal (Vinagre 8′), Neves, Moutinho (Dendoncker 78′), Traoré; Neto (F Silva 78′), Jiménez, Podence.

Manchester City XI (4-2-3-1): Ederson; B Mendy, Aké, Stones, Walker; Rodrigo, Fernandinho; Sterling (Torres 82′), De Bruyne, Foden; Jesus.

  7. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Took a hit for,

    Auba -> KdB
    Willian -> Salah
    JW-P -> Jorginho

    Now wondering if I made a mistake..

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Why? Seem like decent moves, even if I’m not sold on Jorginho

      1. Slitherene
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I thought I knee jerked into getting priced out last night, was a little high too.

        1. PascalCygan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Ha, fair enough! We’ve all been there. I’m wildcarding after a terrible start so just a hit for those is good I’d say.

    2. ilikewud
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Jor is a mistake - I hate the way he takes pens too. The rest is worth it tho.

  8. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    How’s everyone doing?

    After the fury and the laughable shambles of GW2, I activated the wildcard and then tried to take myself out of things for a zen moment of calm...

    It didn’t last that long - how’s about this for a first stab?

    Martinez Steer
    TAA Saiss Justin Taylor Mitchell
    Salah KdB Zaha Podence Reed
    Werner Jimi DCL

    0.1 left

    Still pondering whether or not to have United or Spurs, but I quite like the fixtures and fun factor of this draft.

    What do you reckon?

    Thanks

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      I really like but I’m not sure id want the risk of 3 players from a single team in case of COVID cancellation

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks. That’s a good point. I’ll monitor that over the course of the week.

    2. diabydoesgallas
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I’m not seeing a whole lot wrong with that, pretty much spot on.

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks! Very kind. Cue unforeseen disaster!

        1. diabydoesgallas
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          No problem - I was really trying to find a weak spot in that team (to make a suggestion), and I couldn’t! So that’s a good sign. Only thing I could think of is spurs coverage with their fixtures - perhaps something like Kane/foden instead of Werner/zaha could be a decent differential, especially if you need to make up ground.

          1. PascalCygan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Nice one, thanks. That’s a good option actually - was wondering how to balance Chelsea / Spurs / United. Will think that over

            1. diabydoesgallas
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              I wouldn’t worry about fitting united assets in any time soon anyway, they made palace look like 70s Brazil at times on Saturday. Anyhow, good luck!

                Ha, yes! Cheers, likewise!

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3 years, 6 months ago

    Hi all, first time post but love reading everyone's comments. After a disastrous start I'm wildcarding this week but torn on a pairing.

    Son and Calvert Lewin, or
    Rodriguez and Jimenez

    Can Son and DCL repeat recent heroics? Or consistent providers like Jimenez?

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Good question. I’m one of the mugs who sold Son for Bruno last week so take my thoughts with a pinch of salt...

      Rodriguez and Jimi have the fixtures and probably the reliability.

      Son and DCL a higher ceiling but overall (two league games and Europa), it’s still too soon to tell if Spurs are all that. Will Newcastle be as porous as Southampton?

    2. ilikewud
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Both are good

    3. diabydoesgallas
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I prefer A, think son is a super player to own.

      1. Coley
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Tough call but appreciate your thoughts, cheers

  10. H-SF
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Think I'm going to get Podence in for a -4. No chance of the West Ham - Wolves game being cancelled is there?

    1. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      That's what I want to know.
      someone pointed out on the scoutcast chat that Neil Warnock is isolating and Boro's game goes ahead.

      Any views or knowledge anyone?

    2. Camino Aleatorio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Wolves could get 3 points with no game.

      or

      Wolves get to play West Ham Ladies team....wow....Wolves 30 West Ham 0

      Jimi wins the Golden Boot in one afternoon!

    Ok guys GW3 captains?

    A) Werner
    B) Salah
    C) KDB

    Tough this week.

    1. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Salah. Think Son is gonna be naugthy this gw also

    2. Cynical
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Think I'm going A

    3. FPLMACKEM
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'm undecided between Salah and Werner. Surely Werner is due a haul. West brom conceeding so many big chances. You can't write Salah off at home though. Plus he loves playing Arsenal.

  12. Will J 256

    Is it bad to go with Robbo over Trent on Wildcard?

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

      Nope. He's been heavily involved in set pieces same as trent

    Got 3 Wolves, just can see their game against WHU called off - would just sum up my luck at the moment.

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      It won’t be

      1. ilikewud
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        When will we know for sure, do you think?

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I think teams will have to use their squads. If they cancel games for every case the season may as well be called off now.

      2. el polako
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        We dont know that yet, its only Tuesday what if more players tests positive in the coming days ?

    2. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I would be surprised. Czech had to play with pretty much a scratch team against Scotland because they could still technically field a team despite a load of withdrawals. Welsh club in Europa League played with 3 or 4 positive tests too.

    Which combo is better?

    1. Sterling + Robbo + Justin + Mitro/Bamford

    2. Foden + TAA + Castagne + Werner/Jesus

    For both combos, it's at least a double-up with KDB and no other Salah / Pool.

    3. diabydoesgallas

      I’d go with A personally. Mitro has great fixtures and foden is a baller.

        Yes agreed!

        Definitely worried no having no Chelsea but it’s a risk worth taking!

          That’s the beauty of this season - we all have to take risks and accept we won’t be able to have big hitters from all the top teams. Right now I’m getting my calls all wrong! Hope the tide turns this week...

      I'd do Trent to Robertson and get another defender or upgrade Taylor. Other than that good

        Thanks but Trent is essential no?

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

          That was when Robertson wasn't on set pieces. Robertson is generally more attacking anyways and setpiece sharing and 0.5 saving edges it for me. Think they'll be on similar points by the end even if trent scores 3-4 freekicks.

      you really should be in your own fantasy team mate

    4. Dr. Rog

      bench is atrocious. at the time of writing there are 4 non-playing on your bench. sort it out.

      1. Dr. Rog
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        + greenwood and foden are rotational risks so you will need that bench to be functional

    Currently have Jimi and Saiss in my wildcard team. Should I go for Klich instead of podence on the back of this COVID news surrounding West Ham?

  20. waltzingmatildas

    Not convinced now is the best time for a wildcard. But how does this look?
    Martinez button
    TAA James Lamptey ctaylor Mitchell
    Salah kdb foden podence 4.5
    Werner Jimmy dcl

      Not convinced now is the time to comment, but it looks decent.

        Ha, cheers!

    2. Jullepuu
      • 4 Years

      Very similar to what I've ended up with except that I have Soucek in there as well

  21. BusbySwede
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    A) Castagne + Jimenez
    or
    B) TAA + Mitrovic

    I have DCL and Werner/Jesus as the other forwards whom i can downgrade to Jimenez later if i choose option B

    How nailed do we think Fernandinho and Ake are? Good for clean sheets hopefully - £5.5m defenders (Yes I have heard of Pep Roulette! But just wondering if those two are more nailed than most?)

  23. C'mon the Fylde
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Mane or Salah?
    Why is everyone going Salah, over Mane? Is it due to Salah being on penalties?

    1. BobbyV
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

  24. Captain Hindsight
    • 12 Years

    Anyone else thinking Thiago could be a bargain?

    Going to be watching him closely in the next game or two before bringing him in. Even if he gets 20 assists that’s going to be a great 6.0 mid

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

      Don't think he's usually directly involved in goals

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years

      I feel like I'm stuck in some sort of time/space continuum.

    3. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      20 assists!!! De Bruyne got the record last year with 23 and you think Thiago will get 20? Fantastic player, I really like him but don’t think so mate.

    4. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 6 months ago

        20 assists?!

    5. PepSala

      How nailed is Reece James? Have 5.2M left to spend on my WC but worried about chillwell being back

      1. BobbyV
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Find 0.3 and get Castagne

      2. Seanigula
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I think the issue is the return of Azpi

    6. Garfield1001
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Foden or Podence?

      1. thepirates
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Podence

    7. thepirates

      Really tinkering about activate WC or not, got off to a sheeaat start, what do you think?

      McCarthy
      Shaw Michell TAA KWP
      Salah KDB Bruno
      Mitro werner adams
      Bench: justin SMA bissouma

      thoughts on this WC team?

      Marinez / Steer
      TAA / Saiss / Ake / Justin / Mitchell
      Salah / KDB / Son / Foden / Burke
      Jimi / DCL / Brewster

      Will do Ake to Reguillon at some point upon Laporte return and Reguillon match fit
      If Werner drops tonight would you suggest Jimi to Werner?

    9. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Haller and Yarmo hauling

    10. Ci Siamo

      Is the Wolves v Wesr Ham game likely to be called off?

      So annoyed I took a hit for Jimmy last night
