Last modified date

We pick out the best three Man City players for Gameweek 37 in Fantasy Premier League. With the help of the Fantasy Football Scout members area we can utilise its fixture ticker and underlying stats to some to a conclusion.

We can see from the graphic below that Man City face Chelsea and Brighton in their double Gameweek. This is an early indicator that their assets should be prioritised in terms of transfers.

The opponents

Chelsea – The Blues sit in the lower half of the Premier League table after a poor season. Offensively, in the last six Gameweeks they rank the second worst for expected goals scored (5.09). Defensively, in the same period they also sit around mid-table for expected goals conceded (8.43).

Brighton – It has been a very good campaign for Brighton so far as they sit sixth in the league. Offensively, in the last six Gameweeks they rank second best for expected goals scored (15.91). Defensively, in the same period they sit eighth for expected goals conceded (8.35).

The Man City defence

Last six Gameweek stats – In the last six matches when compared to every other team Man City rank sixth best for expected goals conceded (7.70), joint second for clean sheets kept (two), the best for shots on target conceded (13) and the best for big chances conceded (six).

The Man City attack

Season stats – This season amongst all teams Man City rank first for expected goals scored (75.53), the best for big chances total (126) and joint third best for shots on target (206).

Last six Gameweek stats – In the last six matches amongst all teams Man City rank fifth best for expected goals scored (12.70), joint third best for big chances total (20) and second best for shots on target (39).

Conclusion

Manchester City are sustaining some fantastic data overall. Their defensive and offensive stats are both strong which suggests that investing in both the back and front line could be very beneficial moving forward.

The best three Man City players for Gameweek 37

  • Erling Haaland (£12.4m) – The Norwegian sits as the highest scoring and owned player in the game. Haaland has amassed a massive 266 points this season, mostly due to his incredible 36 goals and seven assists. He is also the standout captaincy option for the remaining two Gameweeks.
  • Ruben Dias (£6m) – Finding a way into the Manchester City defence could be extremely important. One of the most reliable routes into the backline could be Ruben Dias (£6m). The Portuguese centre-back can also be a threat from set pieces.
  • Riyad Mahrez (£7.4m) – Rotation could be rife in the coming weeks but the Algerian has been under-used in the Champions League. As well as this he has started the last four Premier League matches whilst also securing a return in all of them.
