Gündogan shines in KDB’s absence as Cancelo finally delivers attacking haul

West Bromwich Albion 0-5 Manchester City

  • Goals: Ilkay Gündogan (£5.7m) x2 | Joao Cancelo (£5.9m) | Riyad Mahrez (£8.1m) Raheem Sterling (£11.5m)
  • Assists: Mahrez | Sterling | Cancelo | Bernardo Silva (£7.4m)
  • Bonus: Gündogan x3 | Cancelo x2 | Mahrez x1

Fantasy Premier League (FPL) owners who kept faith with Joao Cancelo (£5.9m) were finally rewarded with attacking points as the Portuguese full-back scored and assisted, bringing in a monster 17-point haul.

Managers looking for a replacement for Kevin De Bruyne (£11.9m) need not look far, with Ilkay Gündogan (£5.7m) bagging a brace and maximum bonus points.

As good as Manchester City were going forward, all FPL players will now be looking at targeting teams playing West Brom, who have shipped 17 goals in five games.

WOW CANCELO

Cancelo has delivered consistently impressive attacking numbers all season, without the points to show for it.

Before the West Brom game, Cancelo only had one assist against West Ham to his name.

But it finally clicked on Tuesday, with Cancelo scoring and laying on the first goal with a terrific through ball for Gündogan.

As he has done throughout most of the season, Cancelo started at right-back but spent most of the game as an auxilliary centre midfielder.

This leaves Cancelo in the prime position to lay on assists or have shots on goal, with him creating the most chances of any player in the match.

Gündogan credited the defender for setting up his first goal and his passing range.

“When we have the ball, he plays a bit of a different role, he plays in the middle a bit more, gets more touches and he has the quality to put in these balls and I knew it.

“He is doing well. Everyone is doing well, him especially in the last few weeks, and we need this rhythm to maintain our level.”

Ilkay Gündogan

Cancelo’s stats throughout the season suggest his 17-point haul was far from a fluke, and there could be many more to come this season.

With good fixtures and in a City defence which has conceded one goal in five games, Cancelo looks more than capable of building on this score.

The only negative for Cancelo is the potential of rotation, with Kyle Walker (£6.1m) returning to the bench for City.

WHO NEEDS KDB?

With De Bruyne missing the next few games through injury, more than 500,000 managers gambled on Gündogan to replace him, despite the huge difference in price.

And their gamble paid off in style, with Gündogan scoring twice and picking up maximum bonus points.

A feature of City’s game in the last few weeks has been Gündogan pushing further forward from his deep-lying role in midfield to join attacks.

For City’s first goal, the German midfielder ran in behind West Brom’s defence to latch onto Cancelo’s through ball, before stroking the ball past Sam Johnstone (£4.5m).

And for his second, Gündogan won the ball high up the pitch before dribbling into the box to score.

As his heatmap shows in City’s last six games, the midfielder is now picking up the ball far more in the opposition half, rarely coming deep to receive passes.

His double against the Baggies makes it six goals in seven games for Gündogan, who has now established himself as one of the biggest goal threats in midfield in the league.

Manager Pep Guardiola praised his first signing for Man City and his “sense of goal”.

“He’s a guy that has an incredible sense of goal. When he plays near to the box he has the timing to arrive at the right time, at the right second. When he arrives he has the calmness to slow down and make the right decision. I am happy for him. He deserves the best.”

Pep Guardiola

With Sheffield United (home) and Burnley (away) up next for the Cityzens, Gündogan looks essential if he can avoid Pep’s rotation.

His withdrawal from the game at 52 minutes hints that Pep wants him fresh for upcoming fixtures.

A STERLING PERFORMANCE

Another player looking to step out from the shadow of KDB will be Raheem Sterling (£11.5m).

Despite being City’s top scoring midfielder and scoring more than 200 points in his last three seasons, Sterling has gone under the radar being owned by less than 10% of players.

Previously immune to Pep’s rotation, Sterling has found himself benched three times so far.

But the England international re-established himself as an FPL asset with a strong all-round performance against West Brom.

Playing in a fluid front three without a recognised striker, Sterling was a constant goal and assist threat throughout the game.

With Gabriel Jesus (£9.1m) failing to convince and Sergio Aguero (£10.2m) struggling with fitness, now seems the perfect time for Sterling to step up.

LOOMING THREAT

John Stones (£5.1m) owners would have been worried to see Aymeric Laporte (£6.0m) warming up around the 51st minute.

Fortunately for Stones and Ruben Dias (£5.9m), Gündogan was withdrawn and Oleksandr Zinchenko (£5.5m) moved into a midfield role, with Laporte filling in at left-back.

After starting the FA Cup match, it appears Laporte is nearing full fitness, something to cause concern for Stones and Dias owners.

Pep has also been talking up Laporte since his return from injury, describing him as their “best left centre-back”.

Following the match, he said:

“From the beginning of the season apart from the game against Leicester we concede so few.

Now our defenders concentrate for 90 minutes. Ruben and John, Aymeric, they are so focused.

The midfielders and the strikers know we are there and covered and in the right moment we will score.

It is impossible to be at the latter stages of any competition without being solid at the back.”

Pep Guardiola

With the form of Stones and Dias, and the City defence in general, few managers would think of switching personnel.

But with three games in nine days, rotation is bound to come in to play putting the place of John Stones, in particular, at risk.

WHIPPING BOYS

After appointing Sam Allardyce as manager, many people expected the veteran manager to tighten up the Baggies’ defence.

Before the introduction of Big Sam, West Brom had conceded the most goals in the league, and had the worst Expected Goals Conceded (xGC) rating.

To make matters worse for the Baggies, they also conceded the most shots on target, shots in the box, and headed attempts.

Looking at the figures under Allardyce, you could even argue that their defence has got worse since his arrival.

In the 13 games before Big Sam’s appointment, West Brom conceded 26 goals and had an xGC of 25.24.

In the seven games with Allardyce at the helm, his team has still conceded the most goals, with 22, and has the worst xGC in the league.

Their overall defending appears to have got even worse, with the Baggies now conceding the most shots inside the box, outside the box, on target, headed attempts and losing the most tackles.

Following the game, Allardyce did not appear for the post-match press conference for an hour, locking his players in the dressing room and telling them some home truths.

“A few home truths needed to be said. I think it had to be done now because there is a short period of time before the next game then a short period of time for the game after that.

“And these two games really do stand high on what we need to do and how we need to try and perform. I needed to get my disappointment and feelings out of the way immediately after the game – that’s why it took so long.

“They (the players) needed to air some of their views – that’s fine because we are all in it together. But I was disappointed with that performance, to say the least. To get it out the way means it’s done and dusted.

“Hopefully, we will learn from it and we won’t see it again between now and the end of the season. I can accept defeat but not like that.”

Sam Allardyce

With no light at the end of the tunnel and defensive performances that are getting worse, targeting teams playing West Brom seems like a sound strategy.

West Bromwich Albion (4-4-1-1): Johnstone; Furlong, Ajayi, O’Shea, Gibbs; Snodgrass (Phillips 59), Livermore, Sawyers, Grant (Robson-Kanu 64; Pereira; Robinson (Bartley 46)

Manchester City (4-3-3): Ederson; Cancelo, Stones, Dias, Zinchenko; Gündogan (Laporte 52), Rodri, Bernardo Silva (Jesus 61); Foden (Torres 52), Mahrez, Sterling

    Son (C) vs Brighton anyone?

    1. Alisson WondHaaland
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Close one between him and DCL for me. I would also add Cancelo to that list but with the tight turnaround theres a benching risk

    Why was Chilwell removed today at 75?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years

      Tactical and he was quite poor in the wing back position tonight

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

      Tactical.

    3. Deulofail

      Should have retired 40 years ago at 35

      1. Deulofail

        Sorry. I don't know.

    4. Alisson WondHaaland

      Tactical sub to get more attackers on. CHO moved to LWB I think

      Worry for us owners?

    1. BeWater

      Probably B.

      Or do just Vardy to Kane and play Raphinha and Soucek.

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

        Vardy to Kane is the cert. Not sure whether to double up with Son or attack the Everton Newcastle fixture and get DCL

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

          With JRod and Digne back DCL is definitely worth a punt.

          1. Tonyawesome69
            • 5 Years

            Yup all their main players are back. Certainly food for thought

    Early days folks but any advice here welcomed!! Team is as follows, should I save or get Son in for Saka or Soucek or something else?? Or any other ideas?? And 5.1 million in the bank!! Yes 5.1!!!! Haha
    Areola
    Dias Cancelo Dier

    1. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      That's tough. I think you need Son. Despite form, I'd regrettably sacrifice Saka as fixtures are up and down while Soucek got Fulham and SHU coming up but could easily go wrong.

      Great team by the way.

  8. marcos11
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Which pairing to go wity?

    a) Gundo/Brewster +4
    b) Watkins/ESR

    Cheaper of the options will be benched nearly every week

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

      A - maximise on city players with good fixtures and on form

      1. marcos11
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Currently leaning towards this one, thanks!

    2. MOTHRA
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A. But I don’t like Brewster at all.

      1. marcos11
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Third on my bench week in week out, purely there for fodder. Might use ESR on occasion though if i went with that

  9. mezza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Tempted to take my first wild captain punt of the season and captain Barnes against Leeds. Can’t do any worse than Salah last week or Bruno this week.

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

      Why not. The big hitters have disappointed with the captaincy.

  10. istanbul05
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Take a hit? £8.1m itb and 1FT.

    A) Brewster to Kane
    B) Brewster & Bamford to Kane & DCL (-4)

    Martinez,
    Trent, Cancelo, Dias,
    Salah, Fernandes, Grealish, Gundogan, Soucek,
    Antonio, Bamford.

    Forster, Coufal, Dallas, Brewster.

    Thanks!

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years

      Same dilemma and undecided with DCL in for a hit. Need to watch the EVE LEI game but it doesn't look like he had a good game

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

      Same dilemma here also. On the other hand DCL has two plum fixtures Lei have kept a lot of clean sheets, as Justin non-owner it hasn't gone unnoticed for me. Another option is getting Chilwell and Bamford to Kane. Leaves money itb.

  11. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years

    Bamford -> DCL not looking great all of a sudden? Or?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years

      why? was dcl poor tonight ??

      1. Going To Win This Year
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I'm not convinced personally. I know Hamez and Digne back but DCL looked invisible to me today

        1. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          they played leicester though. will get more opportunities v newcastle surely?

          1. Going To Win This Year
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            I guess so.
            Raphy to Son is a better prospect for me.

    2. Warby84

      I am doing it

  12. Ajax Hamsterdam

    is it madness to go without gundogan ?

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

      Madness to go without 3 city players including Gundo

    2. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Playing pretty high vs WBA, and was involved in everything.. For his price he’s definitely worth a punt

  14. YLK13

    Bamford, Coufal -> Watkins, Stones for a -4

    Will possibly be priced out tonight.

    2. Tonyawesome69

      Need 3 City players so yes I would take the hit

  15. tafrère

    Want to upgrade ESR, siwtch to 3-5-2 and bench Wilson. So who's the better midprice mid in your opinion :

    A) Maddison
    B) Barnes
    C) Grealish
    D) Zaha

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    4. Tonyawesome69

      Grealish but I'm going to wait until after Villa's 19th league game

  16. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Genuinely a tough captain choice next GW!

    Salah, Bruno, Sterling, Kane, Son all play teams that are in the top 7 in terms of lowest xG conceded in the last 4 games

    Short fixture turnarounds so potentially some rotation

    Great DCL fixture but 1 goal in 8 games is hardly inspiring

    Tempted to upgrade my Cancelo VC to C

    Grealish could even work

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      DCL, Cancelo, Barnes are nice shouts

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I am seriously considering Gundo

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Me too. If gundog was 10m wed all captain him,!

      2. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Could be a good shout
        Just worry he is not nailed to play 90, Sheff Utd defense is improved and he has had significant xG outperformance

  17. Coys96
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Werner & R.James -> Cancelo & DCL (-4)

        I defo wouldn't do that

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

        You would bench Chilwell home to Burnley to play Soucek at Pool?

        Not gonna happen mate sorry. He's getting benched.

        1. Stupendous
          • 11 Years

        Chelsea and Chilwell were poor tonight. They were playing against a wolves team who concede for fun this season and Chelsea couldn't score.

    Rare for the most expensive team to actually have a respectable rank and not the result of ridiculous number of transfers

    1. Gross Blank Point
      • 3 Years

      I quite liked the Highest points team this week with no Salah, KDB, Bruno, Son, Kane or Vardy in the starting 11, shows what can be done without obsessing on The Template.

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

    Ederson - Martinez
    AWB - Stones - Dias - Cresswell - Mitchell
    Salah - Fernandes - Son - El Ghazi - ESR
    Bamford - Wilson - Antonio
    4.1M 1FT

    Option A:
    Ederson > Areola, Sanchez or 4.0M ?
    El Ghazi > Gündogan
    Wilson/Bamford > Kane*
    *depends on injury news from Spurs match.

    Option B:
    Keep Ederson for upcoming Man City dgws and give up on Kane.
    El Ghazi > ?

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B - Barnes/Zaha/Grealish.

      Sorry it's vague but I can't narrow those 3 down.

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

        I'm in the same boat

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

    I'm one of the idiots who never sold james and should have done so last week for a hit ...

    A) James -> Cancelo
    B) James -> Dias
    C) Vardy to Kane instead

    Already have Stones

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

      Do both A and C

      1. The FPL Units
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yep

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

        Thanks. Alternatively can jump on the gundowagen with rapinha or soucek

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

          I don't see why you wouldnt consider an additional hit for a 3rd city player. They have the fixtures and are hitting good form. Need to maximise with 3 City players

    2. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      C. But don't do it tonight because I don't want Kane to rise 🙂

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

      Thanks lads. Too much ITB, feel like I should better bank on it now than later.

  23. Coys96
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I know I was advised not to but I think I'll keep James for this GW, my bench is strong so if he doesnt play this GW at least I can bench in future.

    If he starts vs Burnley he'll be in the points and if he comes on for a cameo (which I think is quite unlikely), then that'll be my fault, but 1 point isn't terrible considering Cresswell would be played instead.

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

      That's a big assumption stating if he starts he will be in the points. Burnley played very well against villa

      1. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        It's a gut feeling. Burnley are far better at home. James would get far forward and Chelsea looked defensively solid today.

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

          They couldn't score against a wolves team that concede for fun

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

    Martinez
    Maguire stones cancelo
    Son RLC Gundo Bruno Rash
    Kane Ings

    Gtg?

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

      Captain Son btw

  25. Viper
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Which move looks better?

    A. Raphinha -> Son

    B. Soucek -> Son

    C. Bamford -> Kane

    D. None of the above

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      C

    2. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Soucek out makes no sense. I think C as Raphina has decent form.

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Leeds upcoming double is in the back of my mind, pretty much the only reason I've considered Soucek out. Mind you the brace from Soucek makes this look stupid

        1. Royal5
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          When is the Leeds double? Want to get rid of Bamford my self. Soucek has more points than Mane.

          1. Viper
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Probably not until Gw26 but I don't want to play my WC until gw29/30

            1. Royal5
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Aha. Yh, agreed. Saving my WC.

  26. ScoutHelp
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Who do you prefer for the next ~4 weeks, and why?

    a) Zaha (WOL, new, lee, BUR, bha)
    b) James (NEW, lee, fun, FUL, liv)

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

      James Rodriguez*

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

      I really like James but Zaha probably outscores him I think.

      James depends on Goodison for points

    3. Alisson WondHaaland
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Probably A out of those. Not a fan of B as a fantasy asset tbh. Id personally pick Barnes over both

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

        Was considering Barnes too. But I think I'm going Zaha. Thanks

    4. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A - more consistent, better goal threat, on pens, prefer the fixtures.

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

        Would you also bring in Zaha over Barnes?

    5. marcos11
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Zaha

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

        Cheers

    Very tight cup match, all comes down to tomorrow
    Score tied at 54 all

    Me: Salah + Robbo
    Opponent: Kane

    Who wins?

    1. pingissimus

      You by 2

      1-0 Spurs - Dier assist Ndobele

    Cancelo is a genuine live captaincy shout this week isn't he!?

    1. mezza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Very much so

    2. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Absolutely 🙂

    3. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Agreed.

      1. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Sheff United in better form though. Could park the bus.

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

      Yes he is. But Shu vs Manchester
      ...

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

      He's my bus captain. I'm gonna correct the mistake I made not following through on Cancelo (c) this week.

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I have neither Son/Kane at the moment so I'm actually considering avoiding them for now & captaining one of Cancelo/Gundogan

  29. estheblessed
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Which transfer to make ...

    a) Antonio (Liverpool HOME)
    b) Madison (Leeds HOME)
    c) DCL (Newcastle HOME)
    d) Saka (Man utd HOME)
    e) Ings (Villa HOME)

    ?

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      C

      1. estheblessed
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I must admit I was leaning that way...

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

      To bring in? DCL IMO.

    3. ScoutHelp
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      C
