Injury latest on De Bruyne as Gundogan emerges as Man City’s best FPL attacker

Man City 2-0 Aston Villa

  • Goals: Bernardo Silva (£7.4m), Ilkay Gündogan (£5.5m)
  • Assists: Rodrigo (£5.4m), Gabriel Jesus (£9.1m)
  • Bonus points: Rodrigo x3, Gündogan x2, João Cancelo x1 (£5.8m), Ruben Dias x1 (£5.8m), B Silva x1

KEVIN!

Pep Guardiola and owners of Kevin De Bruyne (£11.9m) alike will be sweating on his fitness after the player was forced off in Manchester City’s 2-0 win over Aston Villa.

There were already concerns about the Belgian’s condition going into Wednesday night considering he was given a rest during the final 20 minutes of the 4-0 thrashing of Crystal Palace.

De Bruyne was able to start for the 13th straight Premier League game but he lasted just 58 minutes in the second match of Double Gameweek 19.

And Guardiola only heaped further concern on De Bruyne’s owners by confirming post-match that the injury could be muscular.

“Kevin De Bruyne put his hand on his leg, so I have the feeling it will be something muscular. These things happen with this amount of games.” – Pep Guardiola

It is, of course, too soon for either Guardiola or Fantasy managers to know the full extent of De Bruyne’s injury and the player is likely to have a scan on Thursday to assess the damage.

It is worth saying that there is slightly longer than usual for De Bruyne to recover considering that Manchester City’s next Premier League match does not take place until next Tuesday.

There is also an FA Cup match against Cheltenham Town on Saturday which will allow Guardiola a chance to rest De Bruyne.

Crucially, it means we will have at least two pre-match press conferences for the manager to update us on the Belgian although not many in the Fantasy community will enjoy being at Guardiola’s mercy in a media briefing…

HAPPINESS IS A WARM GÜN

Ilkay Gündogan (£5.5m) extended his impressive run of form for Manchester City on Wednesday evening.

His fifth goal of the season, and second of Double Gameweek 19, helped the German international to a third double-digit haul since Gameweek 13, more than any colleague across the same period.

In total, Gündogan has racked up 54 points in his last seven matches (7.7 per game) and, with West Bromwich Albion (away) and Sheffield United (home) up next, interest in his signature is sure to increase.

His new advanced role has been well-documented of late but what helped him get on the scoresheet against Aston Villa was his place in the penalty pecking order.

With a flagging De Bruyne removed from proceedings after 58 minutes, it fell to Gündogan to dispatch a 90th-minute spot-kick after Gabriel Jesus (£9.1m) had forced a handball out of Matty Cash (£5.0m).

And if the Belgian is set to miss a few games, then Gündogan’s stock can only increase further, especially if he has a stronger claim to penalties than Jesus and Riyad Mahrez (£8.1m), who he shared the pitch with during stoppage time against Aston Villa.

Raheem Sterling (£11.4m) had gone off by the time Gündogan put Manchester City 2-0 up but his troubles from the spot this season have been well-documented.

SILVA LINING

For the second time in three Premier League matches, Bernardo Silva (£7.4m) was selected to occupy the false-nine role for Manchester City.

With Jesus consigned to the bench for the second time during that run, Guardiola’s preference for a more fluid front-three comprised of midfielders is becoming clear.

Judging by his pre-match comments, it sounds as if that outset may continue until either Jesus or Sergio Aguero (£10.3m) can start finding the net again – when given an opportunity, that is.

“Strikers have to score goals. The way we want to play does not depend on strikers, centre-backs, full-backs. We have a special way to play, sometimes we need strikers, sometimes we don’t.” – Pep Guardiola

Silva is already reaping the rewards of his false-nine role as he scored his first Premier League goal of the season against Aston Villa.

But he went close on other occasions including a well-saved header at the back post in the third minute.

“Bernardo Silva, I said many times, is one of the most intelligent players I have ever seen. He can do everything in every position and he has the quality to score goals too. It’s really good for him and us. A fantastic goal.” – Pep Guardiola

CANCELO CULTURE

The João Cancelo (£5.8m) rollercoaster still had plenty of dips and loop-the-loops in the second match of Double Gameweek 19.

Fresh from a one-point cameo against Crystal Palace, the full-back returned to the side on Wednesday evening, playing in the left-back role initially and securing a clean sheet and one bonus.

That made for an eight-point score for the Double Gameweek while John Stones (£5.1m) and Ruben Dias (£5.8m) enjoyed 27 and 17-point hauls.

But Cancelo certainly had chances to get close to his central-defensive counterparts as he struck the crossbar in the first half, which would have resulted in a De Bruyne assist had he found the back of the net.

And in the second half, the Portuguese international drove through the middle of the pitch and fired an arrow of a shot at the bottom corner before Emiliano Martínez (£5.1m) turned away a certain goal.

It is worth saying that Cancelo was more involved in the game during the first half when stationed on the left-hand side of Manchester City’s defence.

However, he was forced to staff the right-back berth after the 28th minute when Kyle Walker (£6.1m) was forced off with a knock and replaced by Oleksandr Zinchenko (£5.5m) – a switch that somewhat limited his involvement.

That said, Cancelo’s chances of starting games and avoiding further benchings could be boosted if Walker faces more time on the sidelines.

“I haven’t spoken to the doctor. If Kyle Walker asks to be out, it is because something happened. Hopefully just a kick.” – Pep Guardiola

Manchester City XI (4-3-3): Ederson; Cancelo, Dias, Stones, Walker (Zinchenko 28′); Gündogan, Rodri, De Bruyne (Jesus 59′); Foden, B Silva, Sterling (Mahrez 72′).

Aston Villa XI (4-2-3-1): Martínez; Targett (N Taylor 75′), Mings, Konsa, Cash; McGinn, D Luiz; Grealish, Barkley (Ramsey 68′), B Traoré (El Ghazi 68′); Watkins.

    The lack of Cancelo attacking returns even more frustrating when you compare Bruno's 'assist' tonight and Cancelo vs. Newcastle (no assist)

    Looks pretty similar to me!

      Looks don’t matter these days... who knows?!??!!?

  2. DA Minnion (Former great)

    Can't believe De Bruyne went off on 59 tonight. Pep just finds new ways of pepping me every week.

    1. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years

      I am sure he is an fpl manager. :p

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Went off after knock so Pep really no option

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Could have treated him on field for another minute.

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Why? FPL isn't that important for real managers 😉

        2. Rhinos
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          it's a pulled muscle, what you want them to do, get a massuer out there?

    3. Feanor
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Blame KDB. He could have laid on the ground for three minutes and had the training staff come on.

    4. 1984 TC
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe bcz you are in the same mini league as Pep? Who knows these days... WHO KNOWS!?!?!(balls)!?!?!?!?!?

    5. Sanchit
      • 8 Years

      Him playing 2 mins more would have been a 15k rank swing for me.

  3. Mitos77
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3 years, 2 months ago

    When Pereira and Soyuncu come back from injuries who will play in Leicester first XI:
    a) Castagne
    b) Justin
    c) Fonfana

    1. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Could be all 3 with one OOP

    2. Marcin the Pole
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      With Europa returning, we'll look to rotate quite regularly, although I could potentially see Ricardo dropping into right midfield and Justin/Castagne both playing. No way Fofana gets dropped however, the man is a monster.

    3. 1984 TC
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I don’t know

  4. wulfrunian

    Raphinha to Gundogan a no brainier?
    Only nagging doubt is that he uses up my 3rd city spot so I can’t get kdb

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not sure- Raphinha could do well in Newcastle game

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

      Do you need KdB if you have Gundogan?

      1. I Must Break You
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I love that Gundogan is now KDB's equal all of the sudden

        1. Gross Blank Point
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Gundogan could have had a hat trick last night, I've no problems in FF terms classing him as equal to KDB currently.
          This game comes down to points.

    3. 1984 TC
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Oh ok.

  7. Scout15
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    What do you think about Bamford -> Cavani move?
    I've got exact funds for it, and it seems that Cavani will rise in the next days for sure...

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Same answer as Raphinha question- big risk as Bamford could do well v Newand guaranteed to start- no certainty Cavani starts

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        * v Newcastle and

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

      Don't know if Cavani is going to be rested soon.

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

      if you're that keen go for it but i wouldn't be blindsided with price changes anymore.
      too many variable, with covid and fa cup games still to play

    4. 1984 TC
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Excellent move! Do it!

  8. Mitos77
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Long term Leicester defender:
    a) Castagne
    b) Justin
    c) Fonfana

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I would pick a long term

      1. Mitos77
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        a) Castagne
        b) Justin
        c) Fonfana

    2. Marcin the Pole
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Justin for me, although its close. Think he'll hold his slot at LB, given Ricardo can't play there and Castagne is unproven there (for us).

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

    Is Robertson + Watkins to Cancelo + Antonio for -4 worth it?

    1. james 101
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Why did you choose Cancelo over Dias mate?

      1. MGMT
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Could be Dias, but prefer to have full backs

        1. james 101
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Leaning that way too

          1. MGMT
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Besides that, with Walker injured and Ake+Laporte returning from injuries I think Cancelo could be safer

    2. 1984 TC
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Who knows these days... yes, no, maybe so

  10. james 101
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I’d like to add a second city defender to stones.

    Who’s best to add?

    1. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Don't want to change your mind but probably in gw23 one of the two must go

      1. JJeyy
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        what happens then?

        1. wulfrunian
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          What do you think?

          1. JJeyy
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            What a loser you are, could just answer a question but decide to take a dig

            1. wulfrunian
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              You are an idiot that asking what happens in gw23 instead to see by yourself the fixtures.Or maybe its something difficult for you?

              1. JJeyy
                • 8 Years
                3 years, 2 months ago

                Because I thought it was an actual meaningful comment instead of gameweek 23 just being a bad fixture, you obviously don't get rid of a player because of one bad fixture. Idiotic comment from you, guess I should have known.

                1. wulfrunian
                  • 7 Years
                  3 years, 2 months ago

                  Of course you don't get rid of a player for one only difficult game.ManCity's fixtures from 23-28 are really tough.

                  1. wulfrunian
                    • 7 Years
                    3 years, 2 months ago

                    *27

      2. FPL Theorist
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        They should get some DGWs added in, it should help offset the tough fixtures. I've got 2 and don't plan to sell until 29 when they'll blank.

        1. wulfrunian
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah but i imagine everyone will WC in gw 25/26.

        2. FPL Theorist
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          In addition, they have already kept CS against MUN, ARS, and were a meaningless stoppage time goal away from keeping one against CHE. Very close to having a 60% CS record against the big 6.

          1. wulfrunian
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Different games away from home.I have Stones and Dias and will sell one of them.

    2. noahzark22
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Cancelo if you have bench cover

  11. BenDavies
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I am being held hostage by Salah, Bruno and KDB. I cannot get rid of them for fear of my rank collapsing when they haul, and even when they DO haul my rank still goes down a bit for the two I don't captain. What is the point.

    1. noahzark22
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Get rid of kdb

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

      unfortunately this is not the ideal week to get rid of one due to Spurs v Liv and potential rest of Bruno vs SHU (he will surely play in FA cup vs LIV)
      If Kdb injury more than 2 weeks i'd probably only move him to Kane
      Tough choice

      1. Rhinos
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Zero chance Bruno gets rested in a league game

        1. FPL_Crisis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          it's a lot of mins in a row with little rest in between
          they might play it safe given the evidence of kdb injury
          SHU seems like a good time for a rest, then Arsenal 3 days later

          1. Rhinos
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            he'll throw the cup match. League is so much more important

              lets see how it pans out
              yellow card in the cup would be a big spanner

    I've used BB and now have Johnstone and Loris as my keepers. Pickford and Martinez have games in hand, so should I be targeting one of them and keep Johnstone as cover/ rotate?

    1. Lilac Breasted Roller
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No need to transfer them in now, save the transfers until you're at 2 FT with nothing else to transfer on

    2. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      i'd focus on Martinez, no need for two expensive keepers when you've played your BB

    This has been my best ever week in fpl 🙂 kdb and Bruno not going mad was great, hopefully a Salah haul and no cleanie for pool tomorrow. Hits have paid back around 60 points so far which is insane. GL everyone

      Nice one man! Hoping for the same things tomorrow, fingers crossed.

      nice score pity the bench boist failed

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Meh, if I wasn't benchboosting I wouldn't have made the Antonio, Lowton to Adams, Stones moves so it's all good 🙂

      Check your team id, it seems to be incorrect.

      Great! Time for champagne, the type that gives you a solid hangover.

    Assuming KDB is injured, best option here please?

    Martinez
    Robertson Stones Cancelo Coufal
    Salah KDB Fernandes Rahpinha
    Vardy Bamford

    Forster Soucek Brewster Ferguson

    1 FT, 0.2 itb

    1. KDB >> Sterling
    2. KDB >> Gundogan (save funds to bring in Son / Kane for someone next week)
    3. KDB >> Son
    4. Save FT, play Soucek

    Thanks.

      5. Don’t assume

  19. seewhyaxe
    • 7 Years

    would you consider KDB TC failed with 24 pts?

    1. Volley127
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Could have been better but could be worse.

    2. aleksaa2
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Absolutely, it's 8p when you really look at it, he would've been your captain either way. I was expecting 15.

    3. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      You would really want to have at least a couple of goals to consider it ok. 8pts is not great to triple really.

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        There is difference between failure and great. Average or slightly below average result imo.

    4. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Looks a fail but Salah decides it if he beats him and scores 12 total.

    5. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nope, it isn't a failure like TC Rashford would have been. I'll give you 7/10 or is C+ in some countries.

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

      cheers guys.

      It's definitely an improvement on previous years' scores though.

      Duffy (TC)
      Sane (TC)

    7. Ragabolly
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      With you on that one. It's not a disaster but not great either. We have to hope that the next TC opportunity doesn't produce for others, and we will captain that player then anyway to soften the blow.

    8. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

    9. 1984 TC
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No

    10. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years

      Bird in the hand.

    11. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I had KdB(c) 8(16pts)

      Two more minutes on the field this match and KdB's score would have been acceptable. 10(20pts)
      Sterling not missing that penalty the previous match and KdB's score would have been acceptable 11(22pts)
      But watching both matches I felt robbed of a good result 13(26pts)

      As it is, I was left slightly disappointed with 8(16pts) but this would be amplified to a 'fail' had I triple captained him.

      bare minimum
      reassess once Salah plays tomorrow

    Kdb to Maddison done

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I’m thinking of KDB + Wilson >> Gundogan/Maddison + Kane, reckon it’s worth it?

      1. sunzip14
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I would postpone this to GW21

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah true I guess cheers man

    2. 1984 TC

      Low five, done ✔️

  22. IRBOX ⚽
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    7 players left to play. Anyone greater than that?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Same players, just Salah(c) though.

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

      Doubt it. Only Salah to go for me, but all chips intact.

    3. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      First time watching Salah without owning him this season - your TC is making me nervous.

      1. Sheffield Wednesday
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Phew, Salah 1 pointer.

  23. afsr
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is this the end of the fantastic four midfield (Salah, Bruno, KdB, Son)?

    Salah blanking for a while, KdB tired and possibly injured, Son not scoring as many against anyone but Leeds, Bruno chipping in still with the odd assist, but also looking tired. Then we've got Maddison, Barnes, Gundogan hauling consistently and Grealish back as well
    Who's shipping 1-2 of the Fantastic Four and for whom?

    1. Wally711
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I would still keep all of those.

    2. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I have KdB Bruno Son and money itb.

      I'm thinking of adding Salah or Kane, or both if I sell KdB. Maybe I should go with mid price mids instead.

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

      Grealish is a perma blank these days... not sure Barkley will keep his place based on today either.

    4. 1984 TC
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe just the end of you or something something? No one really knows at the end.

    5. afsr
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I have all in my team and plan to ship KdB and Son (and get Kane in the process)

    6. Gross Blank Point
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I've gone without that combo all season, Son and Kane and 2 of them has been the way to go for me, worked well so far, am going to drop another one of them now and spread the money even better

  24. Wally711
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I’m gonna have a benching headache next GW.

    Which 2 would you guys play?

    A) Targett (bur)
    B) Coufal (cry)
    C) Bowen (cry)
    D) Soucek (cry)

    Thanks in advance

    1. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B and C

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      AC easy for me

    3. 1984 TC
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      E) Two Advils (for the headache)

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

      AB

    5. 1984 TC
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Advils are the final answer.
      Headaches = Advil’s
      Bottom line... no more replies needed

  25. sunzip14
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Who wins?

    A) Salah+10 points
    B) Salah(C)+Grealish+Wilson

    1. tuturututu
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B

    2. 1984 TC
      • 3 Years

      No one really knows and guessing is just... well, guessing...

  26. tuturututu

    Fabianski
    Stones, Shaw, Coufal
    Salah, Bruno, Sterling, Rashford(c), Maddison
    Bamford, Antonio

    Justin, Alioski, Giroud

    1. tuturututu

      1. tuturututu
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks TM, who would you play out of Alioski, Justin and Coufal?

  27. fedolefan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Would you get Pogba or Grealish?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Grealish might get suspended but he has great games now.

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Neither tbh

    3. 1984 TC
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I don’t know

  28. FarQueue
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Folks - can anyone provide me clarity on why fernandes got an assist in last night's game (cavani goal off the goalkeeper palming the ball away from a fernandes cross) and chilwell did not get an assist vs fulham (mount goal off the goalkeeper blocking the ball from a chilwell cross)?

    1. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No, was surprised to get it from the goal description.

  29. 272MK
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Wanted to do
    Son --> KDB (C)
    Kane --> Antonio -4

    This past gw but I missed the deadline. I actually had nightmares this past few nights.

    Now for Salah(C) to haul to make sure my mistake wasnt a big one

    1. 1984 TC
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Oh noooooooo!!!!!!!!

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

    As a one-week non Bruno owner, did I get lucky vs Fulham? Highlights seem to be answering that with a resounding yes.
