Five Man City talking points ahead of the Community Shield final

Manchester City have now completed their pre-season friendly schedule ahead of the 2019/20 season, leaving plenty for Fantasy Premier League managers to chew over.

We will get one final look at Pep Guardiola’s team before the Gameweek 1 deadline when they face Liverpool in the Community Shield final next Sunday.

This presents a fantastic opportunity for Fantasy managers to put to rest any final questions they have about Manchester City assets.

This article highlights five key areas of their team that we should be keeping an eye on at Wembley next weekend.

Front and centre

Sterling in action for Man City during pre-season

The chances of Raheem Sterling (£12.0m) lining up as Manchester City’s centre-forward in Gameweek 1 strengthen with each passing pre-season friendly.

The England international was deployed as the striker in Guardiola’s 4-3-3 system in the win over Yokohama.

He scored in that final game of the tour and has now been involved in six pre-season goals this summer (four his own, two assists).

As has been reportedly already, with Sergio Aguero (£12.0m) and Gabriel Jesus (£9.5m) still on international leave following their involvement at the Copa America, Guardiola is clearly preparing Sterling to take their place in the Community Shield and possible beyond that.

We would expect him to start up front against Liverpool on Sunday but the key thing to look out for among Fantasy managers is how he gets on in that role.

It was discussed last week whether a shift to a centre-forward role is always beneficial to a wide-midfield player so an eye test against one of the best defences in the Premier League could prove a helpful test of Sterling’s credentials.

Sanéty Check

Sané’s position in the team came under threat after Sterling started performing well on the left

The implications of Sterling’s role as a centre-forward is also helpful for Fantasy managers in regards to other areas of the Manchester City team.

With the winger being pulled into a central role, it means there is much less competition for the flanks of Guardiola’s front-three.

The absence of Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m), following his successful African Cup of Nations campaign with Algeria, is also a benefit for predicting the team early on.

Leroy Sané (£9.5m) should be the chief beneficiary as he should have unrivalled access to the left flank of Guardiola’s attacking trio.

Despite the uncertainty over his future, the German international has been used extensively on the left-wing in pre-season and has been quite effective too.

After 239 minutes, two goals and one assist, Guardiola has Sané well-prepared for the new campaign and he looks likely to be an important part of the attack against Liverpool.

If he performs well at Wembley, then he could just book himself a place in the Gameweek 1 side.

Where’s Kevin?

De Bruyne has done very well in pre-season for Man City

There were media reports last week that Guardiola wanted to see Kevin de Bruyne (£9.5m) take up a deeper midfield role this season and Fantasy managers will have to keep an eye out for this in the Community Shield final.

In recent games played on tour this dropping deeper has not happened with too much regularity for the Belgian but that may be because of the quality of opposition.

Against Yokohama, de Bruyne was one of the best players on the pitch and emerged with a goal and assist to his name. That took his pre-season tally for goal involvement to four (one goal, three assists).

Despite those encouraging numbers, a match-up with Liverpool will prove a much more reliable event for seeing what de Bruyne’s positioning will be this season.

However, not only do we have to assess where he’s playing, Fantasy managers must also pay attention to whether or not a deeper role actually has any impact on his points potential.

For example, de Bruyne’s hand in set pieces won’t be affected by his positioning. But given his quality, there is still a possibility that de Bruyne could still hang back a bit more, and yet still create a decent number of chances.

Furthermore, the Belgian boasted a better minutes per shot than Sterling in 2018/19 and has historically been accurate from range.

Therefore, a deeper role could unlock other areas of de Bruyne’s Fantasy potential, which is why he should arguably the biggest focus of FPL managers during the Community Shield final.

Left-back… in the changing room?

Zinchenko may yet be the first-choice left-back for Man City at the start of the season

Now that we’ve seen Manchester City play four times in pre-season, we have a better idea of who will start at left-back too.

The signing of Angeliño (£5.0m) this summer complicated the task of predicting who the first-choice was in this position but pre-season line-ups have made things slightly easier.

Oleksandr Zinchenko (£5.5m) has recorded more minutes in friendlies at left-back than any other Manchester City player.

His total of 209 is made up of two outings over 60 minutes, and it was the Ukrainian that started in the most recent match against Yokohama.

Admittedly, Angeliño’s pre-season involvement is not that far behind Zinchenko, so it’s hard to be completely certain which one will be favoured in Gameweek 1.

The new signing (or re-signing) has recorded 151 minutes from to starts at left-back this summer.

However, only one of those outings lasted longer than an hour, hence the discrepancy of 54 minutes between him and Zinchenko.

Danilo (£5.0m) has 195 minutes to his name over the summer, just nine shy of Zinchenko, but he has predominantly been used at right-back and is likely to be Kyle Walker‘s (£6.0m) understudy this season.

Also, at least for now, Benjamin Mendy (£6.0m) is out of the picture until September according to the most recent reports.

That is a handy development for Fantasy managers as they study the Community Shield for clues about the first-choice left-back.

Zinchenko remains the favourite to start that match, but Angeliño probably has an outside chance of being involved.

On Your Ederson

Ederson is yet to play a single minute of pre-season for Man City

Finally, it has not gone unnoticed that Claudio Bravo (£5.0m) has started and played 90 minutes in every single match of Manchester City’s pre-season so far.

Obviously, we know that Ederson (£6.0m) is still the first-choice at the Eithad Stadium but there could be a slight chance of him missing out on a start to the campaign.

The Brazilian has been away this summer as part of his country’s Copa America although is still behind Alisson (£6.0m) in the pecking order.

Goalkeepers are typically easier to drop straight back in a team with minimal preparation than outfield players, and with Ederson, he will probably be fresher than his Liverpool counterpart.

However, we know that Guardiola is a methodical man who values things should as preparation during pre-season, so it’s worth considering an outside chance of the cheaper Bravo starting the Community Shield.

      Except Aurier, ZoumBa and Mc Ginn , 3 dodgy picks, it's template bandwagon stuff

      That bench worries me.

    3. Penguin

      I don’t agree with a good bench until half way through

    4. Marmalade Forest
      • 7 Years

      Define “bit”

  2. Jay Arell
    • 7 Years

      Coleman

    2. Kobayashy

      Coleman.

  3. Left Peg
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    There's a couple of mad choices here but I think it could pay off (albeit in the short term). What do you think?

    Pope
    Robertson - Coleman - Zinchenko
    Salah - Sterling - Pogba - Jorginho
    Vardy - Wilson - Origi

    Bench: Button, Dunk, Dendoncker, Lundstram

    1. Moxon
      • 10 Years

      Big fan of this

      1. Moxon
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I'll definitely be going 3 back as well 🙂

    2. Chazz69
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      when I see Pogba in any team .....

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Jorginho not good enough for 4th mid

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

      Ha, did you see my Origi post or something?

      1. Left Peg
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Nope! What was it?

        1. Kobayashy
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Just that I think he could be a really decent option for his price for 2-3 GW's, and I have the same sub as you (Dunk) ready to come on if there's any rotation issues!

    5. Marmalade Forest
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I’ve gone from 541 to 532 to 442 to 451 and now I’m definitely set on a 343. There is no way I’ll change it again 😐

  4. reggy123
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Change anything?

    Leno
    TAA Digne Zinchenko Rico
    Salah Sterling Fraser Siggi
    Vardy King

    Button Greenwood Dendonker Lundstram

    1. Left Peg
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Do you reckon Arsenal defence will be up to scratch? Or are you going for save points?

      1. reggy123
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Switch to Fab Gw3 is the plan

    2. Chazz69
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Rico ? and Lundstram and obviously you're on the Zinchenko banwagon

      1. reggy123
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Hoping Rico nails BOU LB position

    3. LSK
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Siggy or Fraser down in order to get a starting defender in

  5. barracuda
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Pope
    TAA, Coleman, Zinchenko, Duffy (4,0)
    Salah, Sterling, KDB, Fraser, (4,5)
    Wilson, Origi (4,5)

    0,5 to upgrade Origi in GW2

    1. Chazz69
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Dble Man city mids ?

      1. barracuda
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah, this is tempting me. Could go Vardy instead of KDB and upgrade my 4th defender

      2. Marmalade Forest
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        It’s almost like they’re the best team in the league and mids provide the best returns.

    2. Yip Jaap Stam
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Good looking team. Who will you upgrade Origi to

      1. barracuda
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Wes

    3. LSK
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I would prefer to get a second Liverpool defender in there rather than double Bournemouth attack. The midfield is strong enough to downgrade Fraser in order to fund VVD or Robertson.

      1. barracuda
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Nah, Fraser is an incredible value

    4. Left Peg
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Nice choices. Hopefully none of the premium strikers start firing!

  6. dunny4003
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Is anybody considering matt Ritchie for Newcastle reclassified as a defender on penalties ?

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Wouldn't touch Newcastle with yours

    2. jesus jesus
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Me - have went off Digne after preseason results - gonna save .5 on Ritchie !!

    3. no_nay_never
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      maybe if VAR goes ballistic

    4. Hairy Potter
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Not with their initial fixtures. He could be decent value later on.

    5. Sponge-worthy
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Considering.

      1. dunny4003
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I'ts just crossed my mind now but yeah when they're fixtures improve.

    6. Penguin
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Most Referees in Europe struggle with VAR & just give penalties galore so it’s a good shout seen as our officials here in uk are the most incompetent.

    7. barracuda
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Is he nailed?

      1. Hairy Potter
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Should be, either at LWB or RMF depending on whether they go with 3 or 4 at the back.

      2. dunny4003
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah he's nailed as far as I can see and with var a penalty taking defender could be gold dust.

    8. Marmalade Forest
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      He was set in my squad for ages, but I’ve binned him off recently to play 343. I’m sure I’ll get him back in my pre-season draft at some point.

    9. LSK
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Could be decent, no point in risking him from gwk1

  7. North_East_FF_Pro
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Think I've found a team I'm happy with, thoughts??
    Ryan (Button)
    Alexander-Arnold, Zinchenko, Wan B, (Dunk, Lundstram)
    Sterling, Zaha, Perez, Redmond (Dendoncker)
    Kane, Auba, Jota

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Redmond is trash

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

      No Salah, no party

      1. Cert
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Redmond is terrible and Zaha future is uncertain so probs won’t start

  8. The Overthinker
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Views??

    Lloris
    Coleman Lindelof AMN vvd Taa
    Rich Bilva Salah
    King Kane

    Button yarmolenko dendoncker Greenwood

    1. Marmalade Forest
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I think if you’ve got AMN, TAA and VVD in the defence you also should have PVA and KWP with DDG in goal.

      Keeps the cover for United and Totters too

      1. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Solid advice.

        DDG and kwp helps me save 0.5

  9. Penguin
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    I’m not touching Liverpool defence they are leaking more goals than ever before, hangover from champions league win I feel they’ll struggle this year.

    1. goriuanx
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      They conceded a fair last pre season too and then went on to keep the most clean sheets in Europe.

      You should use pre season to establish starters and formation, not results.

  10. goriuanx
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    This has to be one of the most least informative pre season schedules I can remember.

  11. Blunder fc
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    RMT please

    Pope
    TAA - VVD - Coleman - Zinchenko
    Salah - KDB - Sane - Martial - Barkley
    Wilson

    Bench : Button - Lundstrom - Wickham - Greenwood

    Wilson to Vardy wk 2
    Sane to Son when Aguero returns to match fitnes
    Wild card wk 3 or 4 if the Pope, Martial & Barkley gambles go tits up

    1. goriuanx
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Very risky midfield. You could have 3 of them benched in the same GW.

      1. Blunder fc
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I think sane is safe for 1st coupld of weeks and scores well when he plays, then can swap to a nailed mid or forward

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

        Even four to be quite honest no?

        1. Blunder fc
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Gotta love a bit of a gamble, only one that really bothers me is Barkley but his ppre season has been good and only has mount to compete with at 10 in the lampard system, if he gets back to his everton numbers he's good value at 6 million

          1. Udo
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            He's actually one I am going to bring in, in GW3 if things work out for him, and Lampard I've no idea what to think about his abilities, approach to manage Che?
            Gamble sounds right, but to be fair none of them are bad options by any means!

            1. Blunder fc
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              They've all been well considerwed but when down on paper together feel a bit heart in mouth, thanks for the feedback btw

  12. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Are people still doubling up on Pool defence or is it not worth it?

    1. LSK
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I am, easy to switch if it's not working out. Nice to have some pricey players in there to downgrade rather than spreading the funds too evenly.

  13. Netters2018
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts please?
    4.5m gk
    Laporte, TAA, VVD
    Sterling, Salah, Fraser, Martial, Gros
    King, Delefeu

    1. Cert
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Good except gross. I think he’s 6m so if u can get 0.5 somewhere you could go for Perez or tielmans who are very good and reliable

  14. Drexl Spivey
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Tielemans or Brooks (4th Mid)?

    1. Johnny 8
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Brooks for first two fixtures.

  15. EgyptianKing
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    What are your thoughts on Martial? Viable option?

    1. Blunder fc
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      If lukaku goes and isn't replaced most likely will play alot and scores when he plays

  16. Blanka
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Ceballos and Kane

    Fraser and Vardy?

    1. goriuanx
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      FV. Tried and tested.

      1. Blanka
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        It does seem better doesn't it.

        Bloody Kane.

        1. goriuanx
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Fwiw Moura has played CF in pre season. Very good alternative.

  17. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    So everyone on Martial now reading last few RMTs it seem so?

    1. goriuanx
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Strange. Not nailed, not the best of fixtures and usually the first to get subbed if things go wrong.

    2. The Wanton Trader
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I’m not shifting him, unless something comes out to force the change...

  18. Hairy Potter
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Which of these lot would you rather have in your team?

    A) Bilva
    B) Moura
    C) Fraser
    D) Siggy

    1. Blanka
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Start with an 8m, easier to downgrade.

      1. Hairy Potter
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        If I go with a 7.5, I'll keep 0.5ITB.

    2. Johnny 8
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Siggy.

    3. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Fraser by quite a margin

  19. rjcv177

    5 years, 3 months ago

    Hi all great Scouts

    Is this too short term?

    Ryan, button
    Taa, vvd, coleman, kelly, lundstram
    Sterling, fraser, tielemans, gross, dedoncker
    Kane, auba, origi

    GL to all drafts out there

    1. Blanka
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Was liking it. Till I saw no salah

      1. rjcv177
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        No pitch time preseason. He better light that city defense or i'm saving a lot of cash 😉

    2. Yip Jaap Stam
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Lundstram surely isn’t a starter. He will grab a few minutes every now and again at best. Inwould also be worried about the midfield three of grob, Tielemans and Dendoncker

      1. rjcv177
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Gross and tielemans on chelsea and villa range 😉

    3. 7rjngs lollygagger
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Very nice

      Go KdB Wilson over Sterling Origi and we’re almost twins. Just think Wilson Fraser could be gold. Sterling I can avoid until 3

      Origi will presumably play gw 1 but out wide with Bobby F in the middle and the ball following Salah about.

  20. AC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Gwk 3 spurs home to Newcastle how do we need Kane? Or will Salah vs arsenal be fine?

    1. goriuanx
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Salah has a very good record against Arsenal.

      1. AC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Exactly, Salah is in the team but after that it’s basically Kane vs sterling and gameweek 3 kind of sways me to Kane but only if I captain Kane

    2. LSK

      Sterling against Bournemouth could be just as fruitful. But obviously Kane is a great option that week.

      Arsenal will be dumb enough to go all out against Liverpool after winning their 2 first matches

  21. LSK

    5 years, 3 months ago

    Any thoughts on this?

    Ryan/Button
    Robertson, TAA, Laporte, Coleman/Lundstram
    Salah, Sterling, Martial, Moura/Dendoncker
    King, Deulofeu/Greenwood

      Like it apart from Martial pick.

    Ha, no Origi in any RMTs over the last 5 pages until I posted about him and he's in three since. I spy a link somewhere, or maybe I'm just seeing things. Like the fact I want him in my team too.

      After this preseason, klopp will de desperate for his big guns back

      1. Kobayashy
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Origi basically won them the Champions League after his great end of season form, and he's bagged a couple in preseason to show his striker's instincts.

        I put part of the poor preseason form down to Mignolet, and this is why he isn't their number 1 choice for goalkeeper, not because of a lack of goals at the other end.

    2. No Professionals
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Also, he's been in many a RMT since the game reopened.

      1. Kobayashy
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Probably, but not over the last 5 pages.

      Nah if you put origi in you’ll be forced to wildcard sooner rather than later Firmino most nailed.

      1. Kobayashy
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Wildcard is a bit extreme. At the most he's 1m off several suitable alternatives which can be easily seen to with 2FT.

    Anything you'd change here?

    Pope (Heaton)
    TAA VVD Laporte Digne Zinchenko
    Salah Sterling Fraser (Jorginho) (Dendoncker)
    Wood Adams (Wickham)

    1m ITB to transfer in players performing well

  24. Kroos Kontrol
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    I tried a really weird 3-4-3 draft. This basically packs in four premium attackers, while keeping a somewhat stable defence. Thoughts?

    Pope (Button)
    TAA Zinchenko Zouma Ward (Kelly)
    Salah Sterling KdB Barkley/Mount (Dendoncker)
    Kane Origi (Greenwood)

    A lot of what if's, but potential? There's many 5.0s that can come instead of Zouma, or if Dunk moves, you can downgrade Zouma to that and upgrade Barkley to Brooks/Perez or Origi to DCL.

    1. Kroos Kontrol
      • 11 Years

      Wow I don't know why I wrote 3-4-3 when it came out as a 4-4-2. my bad

    Please help me rate my team

    Pope / 4m
    TAA / Digne / Taylor / Dunk / Kelly
    Sterling / Siggy / Kdb / Martial / Pérez
    Kane / King / Nketiah

    Unsure if to stick with Kdb and Martial or go with Rashford and B. Silva and reinvest the 0.5 somewhere else

    What’s everyone’s thoughts on pulisic? The new hazard?

    1. Chazz69
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Lol.

      1. Cert

        So is he good?

    2. The 5% Team
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      of course not

    3. dimo_fpl
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      He’s decent, no where near Hazard level though

      1. Cert
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        No I mean will he replace him and play most matches

  30. The Train Driver
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    So there is no chance Firmino will be ready for gw1? If he is, there's no way Origi will start...

    1. Chazz69
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      What's yr point ? Firminio won't play

    2. AC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Wait for next week if he gets some minutes in charity shield good chance he could start vs norwich

    3. barracuda
      • 7 Years

      Is this a hint or am I reading it inccorectly?
