Mixed fix: WBA next, but SOU WHU MCI then SHU LEE#FPL #FPLCommunity @OfficialFPL
2) ZIYECH 
Highest big chance created (4, ahead of Grealish & Neto on 3), highest xA (1.8, ahead of Grealish on 1.7) in GW7-8

3) DE BRUYNE 

Fix: BUR FUL WBA in GW10-13
On most (not all, Mahrez takes a few) corners & FKs
On pens (altho miss v LIV causes doubt)
Return of Jesus means City attack has a focal point
City haven't looked explosive this season - betting on fixtures over form

4) STERLING 
City's top FPL asset so far (33 pts, ahead of Walker 29 KDB 27 Foden 26)
Top FPL scorer post-restart last season (86 pts, ahead of Bruno 79 Martial 78 KDB 73)
Started every game this season
No set piece threat, 3 blanks in last 3
Like KDB, fix over form

5) GREALISH 
2nd highest non-Pen xG90 in GW5-8, just behind Bamford, ahead of Werner Vardy Mane Rashford DCL
1st for xA in GW5-8 (2.39, ahead of Ziyech 1.83 Zaha 1.82)
Talisman
Fix: BHA NEW BUR WBA in next 6
AVL can blow hot and cold, lost 3-0 to LEE, beat ARS 3-0

6) JOTA 
Cheap route in LIV attack, should play with Salah out
Started v MCI alongside Mane Salah Firmino, played full 90 (Firmino subbed off)
Hattrick v ATA in UCL just before MCI
@SofaScoreINT
Too early to say he is nailed, yet to start back to back games in PL

7) ZAHA 
Playing OOP as fwd, 4th highest scoring mid behind Son Salah Grealish
On pens (PVA might change that, but Zaha on each pen so far)
Fix: BUR NEW WBA
Fix turn: TOT WHU LIV AVL LEI
Palace typically defensive, 4th lowest shots since GW2 (altho beat LEE 4-1)

8) MANE 
5th highest non-Pen xG in GW5-8 (1.9) ahead of Salah (9th, 1.71)
3rd highest pts in 19/20, may be an easier move back to Salah later
May play a bigger role with no Salah
LIV injuries might hurt overall attack
If Milner & Salah don't play, is Mane on pens?

9) RODRIGUEZ 
Fix: FUL LEE BUR but
CHE LEI ARS MCI in next 5 after that
On most set pieces (sharing with Siggy when he plays)
EVE have lost 3 in a row, look awful without Richarlison
Richa back this GW
Do you want to double-up if you already have DCL?

10) SON 
2nd highest pts (74, behind Kane on 80)
Fix: MCI CHE ARS LIV LEI in next 6
Maybe Son can score on the counter?
GW1-4, Son 2nd highest for non-Pen xG (2.96, behind DCL on 3.39). GW5-8, Son down to 10th highest non-Pen xG (1.7, behind Grealish, Mane, Rashford)

11) RASHFORD 
6th highest non-Pen xG in GW5-8
With Shaw out and Telles playing at LB, may allow Rashford to cut in to center more
Could've scored v EVE, inches away from stealing Fernandes' 2nd goal
Cheap alternative to Fernandes
No pens, just 1 corner (Bruno: 19)
