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.

    3 years, 6 months ago

    My wc basically comes down to:

    A) Podence, Werner and a 4.5 mid
    B) Podence, Son, Brewster

    Any thoughts?

    1. Starskyb
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years

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

      If Podence is in both, he's in no?

      Werner on Son like most people... I don't think it's close. I think it has to be Son but others disagree.

    3. Third Eye Vision
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yes. You didn’t need to include Podence in your question.

      1. cjk17
        • 7 Years

          3. ThisPostsOnFire
            • 7 Years

          What game? Supplying good information to the good people on FFS?

    2. Ginkapo FPL

      No it isnt

    3. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Well it wasn’t in June when a few players had it, so why now.

    4. Seanigula
      • 14 Years

      You’re just looking for any excuse to spend more time with your boyfriend

  12. TheDragon
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I fear the Podence bandwagon is going to crash at break neck speed

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Naahh

    2. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah, threat of rotation from Traore but I can't really see Nuno dropping him when he is in such good form either.

      1. ThisPostsOnFire
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Neto is not getting in ahead of him ATM, so no rotation threat

    3. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      When traore takes his place?

    4. Jullepuu
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah when Semedo goes to rwb, Adama to rw and Podence starts to rotate with Neto

    5. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Why would Nuno drop him, he’s one of the best players they have now?

    6. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      They might sign Douglas Costa apparently so yeah I agree

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        If Douglas Costa signs then yes, Podence could get relegated to the second XI.

    7. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Podence is a LW and Traore a RW?

      Patricio
      Boly Coady Saiss
      Semedo* Neves Moutinho Jonny
      Traore Jimenez Podence

      Ruddy
      Hoever Kilman Macal
      Burr Dendoncker Vitinha Vinagre
      Neto Fabio ?????

  13. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years

    Werner dropping in price, just as I am about to capt him.

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'm keeping faith as well, he could eaily bounce back like Son did and get that 0.1m back and more (heres hoping)

    2. Badluck Jonathan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Worked for son cappers last week

    3. Jason M
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'm on a WC, had him initially, have taken him out at £9.5m and will bring back in for £9.4m 😉

  14. NUFCAndrew
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Egan owners, who are you looking to swap him out for?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Keane

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      But not this week

      1. NUFCAndrew
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I have 5.4 to spend on a defender

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Saiss

    3. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Keeping. Just one game. Justin v City not ideal but Aubameyang to De Bruyne more priority.

  15. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Reminder that people were saying Kane was no longer due after scoring in the cup last week. Look what happened the next game, massive score for him. Rashford and Greenwood owners might be enjoying the same this weekend.

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yes thats what Im saying. People are saying they are not due but I think that is the wrong way of looking at it.

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

      Does the concept of being due rule out the concept of having form? Form makes more sense.

  16. EL_FENOMENO
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    a) Greenwood + Wood
    b) Ings + Klich
    c) DCL + Traore

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A

  17. xHaTr
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Thoughts on Greenwood over James Rodriguez on wildcard?

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

      Both

  18. Cheeto__Bandito
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    A) Saiss
    B) James
    C) Digne (dont think he's worth the extra mil)

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A

    2. Cynical

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

    We're going to look back on this season and laugh that Foden and Greenwood were 6.5 and 7.5

    Absolute bargains for what they're capable of.

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

      *if they get enough minutes

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

        I think Greenwood is much more assured of starts than Foden (assuming they dont sign another winger)

        1. Jay Jay Okocha
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Just wait until Ole realizes how good VDB is

  20. Hart-ake
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    How's this WC draft looking?

    Guaita
    Robbo Saiss James (Lamptey, Mitchell)
    Salah KDB Foden Podence (4.5mid)
    Werner DCL Jimmy

    1. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Looks good. You might get some rotation/off the bench frustrations from Foden, but for a 6.5 City mid, might be worth the risk.

      Also, Werner is going down tonight, so if you're on wildcard take him out and avoid the drop and bring him back cheaper.

  21. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    If Werner doesn’t perform this week I recon there is no reason to keep?

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I probably would CRY, SOT next two.

      1. Atimis
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        But if he won’t perform vs WBA, Jim has great fixtures

          Yeah I’ll likely sell if he blanks v Brom

          already got him.

    2. GreennRed

      I'll give him until GW4.

    Time to be bold this week isn’t it.

    This is the week of the Werner, Martial front 2.

    We’ve had to watch every donkey striker get double digit hauls from 0.01 xG last week but this week we turn the tides.

    Werner (c)

      A nasty miss from Werner last game and in space - will it be the game he clicks with the team?

    I need to be able to make a decision on this one been hovering over it since yesterday.

    McCarthy
    TAA Davies Taylor Mitchell
    Salah KDB Son ASM
    Werner Martial

    Nyland Justin Davis Bissouma

    A: ASM > Podence (-4)
    B: Wait a week

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

      Almost identical to my team - just I have KWP over Taylor.

      I’m going to wait and see if A) ASM is fit and B) what happens with the West Ham Covid situation and impact on that game / team strength.

      If ASM is fit and West Ham at full strength / called off I’ll hold. If not I’ll take the -4.

      I’m happy to eat the price moves to have the time to decide

      1. School of Poch
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah the price moves are what's edging me. But I do have 0.5ITB so it's still an affordable move next week. But that extra 0.2 team value could be useful elsewhere

    Wish there was a 1-7-2 formation.

    Which two are better on wildcard?
    Calvert-Lewin
    Son

    Foden

    1. xHaTr

      DCL Son

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      DCL and Son by some margin

    3. The Senate
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      DCL Son massively!

      1. Will J 256

        Fair enough thanks guys!

    What do you think?
    WC Active:
    Martinez - Steer
    Van Dijik - Justin - Mitchel - Vinagre - Konsa
    KDB - Salah - Traore - Son - Costa
    Calvert Lewin - Mitrovic - Werner

    I know my defense is a bit weak, what do you suggest?

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Looks good though bench dilemma and double Villa defence. maybe downgrade Traore and pgrade Martinez or elehwere?

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

      No to Vinagre, Konsa and Traore

    Anybody else thinking that Manchester United and Chelsea will bounce back big time and punish the sellers this GW just like Spurs did last GW ?

    1. The Senate
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I think so - especially given Chelsea's fixture

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

      Yup

    3. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No.

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

      Hopefully I’ve held them all, Shaw, Rashford, Martial, Werner even Havertz

      Not at all, I reckon this is the beginning of the end for both managers.

      Completely tactically inept.

    Luton manager making out like MU shouldn't have had a penalty. There was a handball AND a foul...

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

      Definitely a penalty and what was the issue with the other two goals then. They put in two tackles with studs that if VAR was there could have possibly led to more than just yellow cards too.

    Any made a decent WC with KDB Bruno and Salah?

    1. The Senate
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      my first draft had Bruno +KDB+Salah. I think now you'd need to go without TAA now though...

    I’m planning 8 point hit this week and a 4 point hit next week. Is this worth a wildcard?

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Maybe not cos a wildcard after the international break could bear more fruit than after 2 gameweeks.
