How Man City’s key FPL assets fared ahead of Spurs’ fixture swing

Man City 1-1 Liverpool

  • Goals: Gabriel Jesus (£9.3m) | Mohamed Salah (£12.4m)
  • Assists: Kevin De Bruyne (£11.5m) | Sadio Mané (£12.0m)
  • Missed penalties: De Bruyne
  • Bonus points: Jesus x3, Salah x2, João Cancelo x1 (£5.4m)

CITIZEN OR KANE?

Fantasy Premier League managers may want to get another look at Manchester City’s attacking assets before pulling the trigger on a Gameweek 9 transfer.

Ahead of a swing of fixtures in Gameweek 10, Pep Guardiola’s men are still struggling to hit their exhilarating best this season, most recently in a 1-1 draw with Liverpool on Sunday.

The last time they scored more than one goal in a Premier League match was the 5-2 home defeat to Leicester in Gameweek 2 which preceded a run of consecutive matches in which they found the net just once.

Despite threatening very little against Liverpool, Raheem Sterling (£11.5m), remains Manchester City’s highest-scoring Fantasy asset this season, with 33 points, but ranks as low as joint-43rd when compared against the entire player pool.

Such statistics are largely unheard-of during Guardiola’s tenure at Manchester City, who have now drawn three of their last five Premier League matches, as many as in their previous 70.

As a result, the Citizens do not look quite ready to command the full attention of Fantasy managers looking to replace Son Heung-min (£9.6m) or Harry Kane (£11.0m) when Spurs’ fixtures turn for the worst in Gameweek 9. Considering Hakim Ziyech (£8.1m) and Timo Werner (£9.4m) are showing some consistency as well as favourable fixtures of their own, Manchester City assets certainly need to improve soon.

JESUS AT THE CENTRE

Whether or not Manchester City can get back to the devastating attacking form we have come to know is likely to depend on Gabriel Jesus (£9.3m).

The Brazilian made a first start since Gameweek 2 on Sunday, slotting back into the void he left through injury, naturally fulfilling the role better than Sterling, Ferran Torres (£6.9m) and Mahrez have in his absence.

As a result, despite Liverpool’s attacking 4-2-3-1 formation, it was Manchester City who slightly edged their opponents in terms of looking the more dangerous outfit going forward.

That led to Jesus scoring an excellent goal on the turn and ensuring he has found the net in both of his Premier League starts this season.

Considering the price points of players Fantasy managers are likely to sell, it is certainly easier to replace Kane with Jesus than finding the money to upgrade Son to Sterling or Kevin De Bruyne (£11.5m).

“He was really good. I didn’t expect he could sustain 90 minutes, but he did. He helped us. He made a fantastic goal – a good goal. It was a good result for him.” – Pep Guardiola

CANCELO BUTTON

JOTA THAT DOWN

Despite blanking against Manchester City, the long-term Fantasy credentials of Diogo Jota (£6.5m) were handed a boost on Sunday.

After scoring six goals in his four matches in all competitions previous to Gameweek 8, he has already attracted 8.5% but many of us have been reticent to secure the services of someone who is hardly a nailed-on starter at Liverpool.

In order to facilitate Jota in the team, Jurgen Klopp usually has to switch to 4-2-3-1 and station him on the right-hand side of attacking midfield, although this is a formation he has used sparingly in the calendar year of 2020.

But that could be about to change, when we consider the Liverpool manager has now set his team up with that shape in two of the last five matches in all competitions and has admitted that we could see it more often.

“When you can do it (start Salah, Mané, Firmino and Jota) against City then you can do it against other teams as well. It will not be our new, all-the-time [formation] but there are moments when we might use it. That’s very helpful for us. Usually, people know which system we play, that’s now water under the bridge. From now on we can play three or four different systems, which is good, and tonight it worked really well. We wanted to use the skills and the power of the four up-front in specific moments to cause City problems, that’s one thing. The other thing is that we all like to prepare a game in the way that we know exactly what the opponent is doing and Pep, I don’t think he knew we would play 4-4-2. It’s not important but it needed a while for City to adapt to it, that was the plan for today. We will not have used that the last time.” – Jurgen Klopp

Finally, there will be plenty of attention on the outcome of Trent Alexander-Arnold‘s (£7.4m) scan, following an enforced substitution at Manchester City.

“Trent will be out for England, that is clear. What he has, we don’t know, but he cannot play for England. He will not be the last and not the only one who Gareth [Southgate] will miss for this international break. He will have a scan tomorrow and then we will see.” – Jurgen Klopp

Manchester City XI (4-2-3-1): Ederson; Cancelo, Laporte, Dias, Walker; Gündogan, Rodri; Sterling, De Bruyne, Torres (B Silva 61′); Jesus.

Liverpool XI (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Robertson, Gomez, Matip, Alexander-Arnold (Milner 63′); Wijnaldum, J Henderson; Mané, Firmino (Shaqiri 59′), Jota; Salah.

      If you sell Robertson and Son, and replace the latter with Fernandes, how much would you have for a defender?

            Just get Fofana, bench this week and start Taylor against Palace, then he's ready for Fulham in GW10.

    3. lespaul

      I'd prob just look at moving Maupay on, or Son > Grealish.

      1. King Kohli
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Can't get in Grealish or Watkins as have 3 Villa players already.

          Ahh jeez, sorry mate, didn't see that!

          1. King Kohli
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Would you lose Sterling?
            City don't look fluent at all

              No way, I might bring him in GW10.

              1. King Kohli
                • 11 Years
                3 years, 4 months ago

                Yeah that's the big call this week.
                Might do Son > Ziyech for free.
                Or Son > Bruno by downgrading Robbo.

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Maupay to Watkins and save

      1. King Kohli
        • 11 Years

        No Villa spot unfortunately

    3. MESSINHO

    Hi guys.

    Martinez
    Robbo - Chilwell - Coufal
    Salah - Son - Ziyech - Grealish
    Kane - DCL - Maupay

    Forster - Lamptey - Mitchell - Stephens

    1 FT, 1.0 itb

    A) Maupay -> Watkins
    B) A + Son -> Bruno (-4)
    C) Son -> Rashford

    I will probably get City assets in GW10/11 depending on their performance against Spurs.

    Cheers!

    Is Walcott nailed on?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      No, and will be at further risk once Ings is back.

    2. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      I think it's his spot to lose now, only concern is that Ings might be back by the time the fixtures improve.

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers. 3 assists in his last 3 games but not Saints last 3. Was wondering if many of them were assists for Adams?.

      Well, I wouldnt but Bamford.

          Maybe look at downgrading one in the future mate, else you'll be asking this question most weeks 🙂

          Not ideal, but Bamford this week, I think.

    4. Don Kloppeone

      What a headache!!

      G of those but that's a horrible decision

      Am currently on Son versus city.

  11. Pieterke30
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Podence and KDB to KDB and Watkins.

    We like it?

    1. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      That was awkward. Podence and KANE I meant.

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

      I'm not sold on removing Kane, but based on fixtures it seems good

      1. Pieterke30
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        He will keep getting points but I just assume Watkins will score some too with those fixtures. While KDB should score a lot more points than Podence.

        1. GreennRed
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Watkins has more potential than Podence. Not sure De Bruyne has currently more potential than Kane so wouldn't be selling Kane until the pendulum turns.

          1. Pieterke30
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Kane is gonna play defensive mid in the next three fixtures I think...

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

      I think it could be good - obvious risk but you have to take some!

  12. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts on Eze? 0.4% owned. 5.8m. Scored 13 points in the last game, nailed on, on set pieces.

    He got 14 league goals for QPR last year from midfield. That's only 2 fewer than Bamford. Next 3 fixtures are bur NEW wba.

    1. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Is he absolutely nailed on? Im not sure yet.

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        He is. He only missed out because of injury.

        1. Pieterke30
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Well then if so he is a good pick.

          But I am not sure yet he is 100% nailed on. So I wouldnt do it. If I was sure, Id consider him.

    2. Letsgo!
      • 7 Years

      Lol jus because one game 13 pts. Crystal cant score against burnley i can see that

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Scored a nice few for QPR. U21 International.

      2. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        It's not because of 1 game. He was on my watchlist before the season even started. New 20m signing from QPR where he scored 14 goals. This is not a one-off fluke player like Hendrick in GW1.

        1. GreennRed
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Jeff Hendrick is a full international!

          1. Camzy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Yeah but FPL wise that is. There is no way that Jeff Hendrick is gonna get 14 points again this season whereas Eze actually could!

            1. GreennRed
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Even for Ireland Jeff is hit or miss. We'll see how he goes at Wembley on Thursday. Might get Eze, but will hold on to Foden if events can conspire to make him more nailed on. Unfortunately I think it's unlikely until City are guaranteed to top their CL group and even then he's a long shot of being nailed on, barring injuries.

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

      I expect all those teams to defend better than Leeds did in that match - not sure he's worth the punt

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        It's the set pieces that appeal. Burnley, Newcastle and West Brom aren't exactly great.

        Newcastle especially.

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

          I do hear that .... if you reserve a mids spot for this kind of punt (like Tom Freeman does) then he seems worth it

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

      Already full of palace because of the turd Vicente

    5. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Sounds like you've done your home work. I noticed his positive body language/calm demeanour last week which is good to see given his short stint at the club so far. I also thought his performance against Leeds was excellent and as we know he ended up with an FPL points haul. Nice price, think he could be a great pick next 3 and possibly beyond. I say go for it, taking these types of punts is what makes the game fun. He's on my watch list too.

  13. Don Kloppeone

    Morning all

    Mulling over my potential moves - need to capitalise on finally getting a decent green arrow in GW8... All advice appreciated!

    1FT 0.8itb
    Martinez, Forster
    Chilwell, Robbo*, Cresswell, KWP, Branthwaite
    Salah, Ziyech, Son*, Grealish, Stephens*
    Kane*, DCL, Bamford

    Options include:
    A)
    GW9: Robbo, Son > Cancelo, Bruno (-4)
    GW10: Kane, Stephens > KDB, Brewster (-4)

    B)
    GW9: Robbo, Son > Kilman, Bruno (-4)
    GW10: Stephens > Jota (FT) - Keep Kane and forget MCI for now...

    C)
    GW9: Robbo, Son > Kilman, Bruno (-4)
    GW10: Kane, Stephens > KDB, Adams (-4)

    They all have their upside and downside so can't decide
    Cheers

    1. popcoin

      B or C, decide on the second move when it comes to GW10

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

        Thanks - they are my preferred options as the thought of Brewster touching my team again doesn't appeal!

    2. King Kohli
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A

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

      I really don't think this team warrants hits for the upcoming weeks. But I like A the most by far for gw9, not sold on your gw10 plan though

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

        No I hear that. I am certain my GW10 plan will change anyway but I think I’m comfortable with Son > Bruno

      How strongly do you feel about keeping Sterling for the upcoming fixtures? Might as well if you have him I suppose - personally just not a fan of his. Personally would look at selling Semedo. What about Sterling to Bruno and Podence to Grealish?

      1. Flair
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Semedo goes next week for Cancelo, may as well keep Sterling due to fixtures. Debating dropping Kane to Antonio and upgrading Podence to Fernandes (C) to get him another way.

          I like that a lot

        2. Don Kloppeone
          • 6 Years

          This plan sounds decent

          What do you think re. mine above?

            Will take a look soon

      Podence to Barkley?

      1. Flair
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Barkley is an interesting shout, thanks.

  15. popcoin

    Morning folks. Narrowed it down to this - Son's potential on the counter against City is an interesting one but I suspect the wise move is maybe treating his and Bruno's next 3 games as a block and just getting the better one for all 3 and riding out the variance...?

    A)
    Trent -> Targett (no hit)

    B)
    Trent -> Targett
    Son -> Bruno (-4)

    C)
    Trent -> Targett
    Barkley -> Grealish (-4)

    D)
    Trent -> Justin/KWP
    Podence -> Grealish (-4)

    Or a -8 hit?

    1. Don Kloppeone

      B looks the best of those mate

      D with Coufal instead

      1. popcoin
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        cheers, yeh I was a big fan of Coufal a week ago but I really don't fancy West Ham clean sheets against Villa, United, Leeds and Chelsea in GW's 10-14

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I actually agree with you. WHU fixtures are not as easy as you would think. In terms of 3 Villa players, I would prefer Martinez, Grealish and Watkins. If you don't have Martinez then Targett is a good option.

  16. Knallie
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Martinez / PCFarrell
    Chillwell / Justin / Lamptey / Vestergaard / Kilman
    Salah / KDB / Fernandes / Ziyech / Romeu
    Kane / Bamford / Watkins

    Lamptey + Vestergaard ---> Cancelo + 4.2 good moves?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      waste of transfers. just keep

  17. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Sterling to Bruno (c) for a hit? Will bring in KdB for Son the week after.

    Thanks.

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      no

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

      Sterling out to get KDB in a week later sounds like a bad plan.

      No other route to Bruno?

  18. Kryptonite666
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Despite common advice, made my transfers as I was thinking about them too much

    Sterling to Bruno (C) and Son to Ziyech.

    Do you approve ? Yes / No ?

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Bruno yes. No to selling Son.

      1. Hits from the Bong
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        This

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Popular move in the community is Son to Bruno. I would keep Sterling for the City fixtures.

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No I don't. Getting rid of Sterling ahead of those GW10 fixtures is not a good move.

      And I wouldn't have ditched Son this week either.

        Just sell him so I don't need to see this question anymore, please.

  20. Tonyawesome69

    Which one would you pick?
    1. Cancelo - Stats and fixtures look great but not as nailed with Mendy due back and Pep roulette
    2. Cresswell - Stats and fixtures not as good but still in top 5 def and on set pieces
    3. Coufal - 0.6 saving over Cresswel and use funds on attack. More bps than Cresswell

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      3.

    2. Hits from the Bong

      3

    3. popcoin
      • 12 Years

      3. In case west ham start being leaky again, you haven't wasted 0.6

    4. Letsgo!
      • 7 Years

      Cresswell for sure. Play so well!

    6. Tonyawesome69

      Are WHU fixtures as easy or close to a nailed CS as we think? Tough fixtures from GW10-14 Villa, Utd, Leeds and CHE

      1. Rhodes your boat
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        3 for me, I was 0.1 short sadly so settled for balbuena

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

      Depends if you have a use for the extra funds from Coufal for me. Cancelo if you just have an extra null lying around

  21. tibollom

    Hey guys, What to do here, got 2 FT and 0.2 ITB...

    Ryan Button
    Robbo Dallas Lamptey Chilwell Ferguson
    Son Salah Rash Grealish Soucek
    DCL Kane BRewster

  22. Letsgo!

    Is saiss gonna drop to 5.1 before gw9?

  23. Pukki Party
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Early thoughts here? 2ft 0.6itb

    Martinez
    TAA* Robbo Taylor
    Salah Son Ziyech Foden
    Jimenez DCL Watkins

    Button Soucek Ayling Lewis

    A) TAA, Foden to 3.9, Fernandes
    Means playing two out of Ayling, Taylor, Lewis.

    B) TAA, Foden to James, Chilwell

    C) TAA, Foden, Watkins to Reece James, Grealish, Richarlison -4

  24. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Should I keep Foden for Burnley and Fulham?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No, too difficult to predict as he has already started on the bench for 3 league games in a row

    2. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'm selling

    3. King Kohli
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Sell

    4. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not unless you know he'll be getting decent minutes. CL games midweek in the 3 weeks after IB too.

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

      I'm struggling to find a decent hit for foden. Was thinking a Leicester mid but that would just wait for another week.

    Planning a -8 with Soucek Wilson Dallas to Bruno Brewster 3.9, don’t want to lose Son yet. Is this madness?

    Martinez
    Chilwell Bellerin Coufal
    Salah Son Rodriguez Grealish
    Kane DCL Wilson

    Steer Soucek Dallas Mitchell

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      with the replacement that you have suggested for a -8, yes mad

      1. Hits from the Bong
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        It’s basically Wilson to Bruno

  26. Rhodes your boat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Considering a couple of transfer options

    A) sterling to kdb
    B) son to grealish

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not for me, possibly B as a long term move

    2. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'm concerned about Sterling getting a rest in one of those plum fixtures and KDB has pens so I may make the move for a hit. The Belgian has also looked better this season.

      1. Rhodes your boat
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        My thoughts too, kdb has looked more involved and has pens but worried it’s a bit sideways

    3. Hits from the Bong
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not keen on either tbh

      1. Rhodes your boat
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks, no I am leaning towards keeping son, I know fixtures are tough but there’s nothing to say Spurs won’t keep scoring

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

    Thoughts on these options.. have 2 FTs. Barnes and Jimmy players I want out of my team.. also could use Son funds to make moves

    A) Barnes -> Rashford, keep Jimmy for SOU and use 2FTs for City fixture swing the next GW
    B) Barnes + Jimmy + Son -> Bruno + JRod + Richa/DCL (-4)
    C) Barnes + Jimmy -> Bruno + Watkins
    D) Barnes + Son -> Bruno + Soucek/Bowen. Then use funds to upgrade Jimmy to Vardy/Jesus next week

    Input appreciated 🙂

    I was talking to someone the other day and there was a mention of a treble captaincy fiasco with Chelsea from back in the day when they had a double gameweek. This was during the time of Drogba and Lampard and I think one was benched for a game but don't know the full details, I think people were sweating on a their captain coming off the bench and cocking up big vice captain points. Can anyone elaborate or have I made this up?

  29. davies
    • 9 Years

    Anyone else feel Sterling > KDB genuinely isn’t a sideways move?

    1. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah, detailed my reasoning above

  30. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Were do I put my 2 million ITB?

    Martinez, Forster
    Robertson, Chilwell, Coufal, Mitchell, Dunne
    Salah, Grealish, Son, Ziyech, Podence
    Kane, DCL, Brewster

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Towards getting a premium midfielder

      1. Ha.
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Son > Bruno/KDB

    2. Hits from the Bong
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Upgrade one of Podence or Brewster

    3. Bathman315
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Brewster to Adams, Bamford or Watkins maybe
