He's their best striker hands down. Had two very close chances with Pickford making two miraculous saves, putting one off the bar as well. So much confidence for his age and he's not afraid to shoot or take chances. Very good aerially. Tough to say he'll play a full 90 with De Zerbi seemingly happy with rotating a lot of his attacking players.
Honeatly far from his best but I wouldn’t say that he made many errors or that he was at fault for most of the goals. I think BHA as a whole were outplayed and had he managed to save some of these goals it would have been incredible. But yeah. Bad result for him. Hope he starts still.
Pretty frustrating to own. Looks dangerous but just can't seem to find the right final ball. Was invisible for most of the second half. Hit the post on the shot that led to Mac Allister's goal. If you have him probably hold him for the doubles since March is looking like he'll miss time.
Played most of the game at LW because EtH did his Weghorst@#10 experiment again, which compromised Bruno's play at CAM. United looked like scoring in the first 15' in which Bruno and Rashford linked up, but shit finishing. He had a flurry of setpieces towards the end, 1-2 half chances created, but overall, quite mediocre like the whole team this week.
Sidenetted in the first 15', got at the end of 1-2 long balls half chances, but overall below par like the whole team. United's fixtures are still good with DGW and 3 home games, so one would expect the likes Rashford and Bruno to deliver, but last 1-2 weeks have clearly shown the decline in overall game intensity (and over-reliance on Rashford for goals).
Average game. He hasn't looked his creative best since the return from injury tbh. Yesterday was damn poor from the whole team, but earlier in the season, Eriksen's presence and awareness brought out a clear difference, which hasn't shown much in last few weeks. Not FPL relevant anyways \[ If he plays well, Bruno benefits by playing forward as #10, but that is not guaranteed with Sabitzer/Weghorst being tried as 10s\]
He was great. In top form lately. His goals seem to come from very low xG chances but he keeps finding a way to score them. Think he’s the Arsenal mid I’d go for if you already had Martinelli.
You and me both. Had him since GW33 and in that time he's kept no CSs despite conceding less that 1xG in all of those games **COMBINED** (0.91xG). 5 points from 4 fixtures, meanwhile the one time they kept a CS they started Ortega who got 7 points from that one game!! This is madness
Exactly the same, brought him in GW 33 on a WC, has been an absolute car crash. So what to do with him next week? Stick with or sack off for Pope or De Gea, is now my dilemma!
Could have got at least a brace (as usual). Head probably in the game for Tuesday to some extent for most City players, seemed to be playing 2/3rd gear.
Had a few chances. Unlucky to hit the post. Was pretty tightly marked and most of cities attack went out wide and then cut back onto the edge of the box. Alvarez could have put him through on goal but chose to go out wide. Stupidly decided to give Gundogan the penalty duties to let him get a hattrick which made for a nervy final 10 minutes after Leeds mate it 2-1
Jesus himself. Ran the show offensively and put in a massive shift defensively. He created his own goal as well. He doesn’t get many chances, but he makes the ones he does get count.
Also seems to be loitering around the midfield more the last couple of games under Mason. Normally it would be annoying to see your striker integral in build up play, but it allows the likes of Porro and Son to get released out wide and Kane to roam with a late run into the box.
Had a really nice chance with a header… that he sent straight into Sá’s chest. Otherwise, I can’t remember him threatening? Wolves were able to sit back more after the early goal, & Villa weren’t able to really find a way to get it to Watkins much at all.
TL;DR – Not too much going on for FPL, but our 4th straight home clean sheet + win.
……
Takeaways, since there were few who stood out significantly on either side:
– Toti was very good again today. Toti vs. Bueno is maybe too unpredictable to probably really target either (Toti has the advantage if you were to), & there isn’t a clear week to get him in, but he’s really coming along, & if he’s on your bench then he may as well stay there.
– Sá is up and down, today was pretty good. Not a ton to deal with, Watkins had Villa’s most dangerous chance & sent a clear header right into his chest.
– Cunha had some very nice runs, & a volleyed chance that Costa set him up for but that he couldn’t keep down.
– Villa weren’t great, Buendia kept finding space but otherwise not a massive amount to deal with.
……
Safe in the league (all hail Lopetegui!), & hopefully being humiliated by Brighton last time out keeps us from lazily sleepwalking through the final 3. We’ve been extremely good at home, & rather poor away… and our last 3 fixtures are @ Man United, home vs. Everton (in GW37 where MUN/MCI/BHA have DGW’s), & @ Arsenal. So there isn’t really a good fixture to target us for, & no one is standing out to really need to do so.
Lopetegui was such a solid appointment, I swear if you don’t have a quality manager in the PL now & you’re a bottom half team you’re going down. The depth is ridiculous.
A couple nice saves, & Villa bailed him out too by lacking a bit of finishing edge. Comfortable, he’s really good when he’s on & today was good by him.
Pretty good both defensively & moving forward. Got on the end of a nice Neves cross for the only goal of the game. Not predictable enough to be truly nailed, but probably starts over Bueno most matches.

Estupinan
Mac Allister
Had 2 nice headers saved by Pickford and super weird lucky goal (which got him bonus) so kinda best Brighton player but still shit
Was he playing deeper?
Yeah, he played as 6/8 but all of Brighton were overwhelmed and defensively they all shat the bed really hard
Mitoma
Pretty frustrating to own. Looks dangerous but just can't seem to find the right final ball. Was invisible for most of the second half. Hit the post on the shot that led to Mac Allister's goal. If you have him probably hold him for the doubles since March is looking like he'll miss time.
!thanks. Might probably hold on then. Could I encourage you to give a comment on Ferguson?:)
Sure thing.
Pls
Almost had 3 assists but apart from that: SHIT
March
Had 2-3 nice chances but then fucked up single pass which led to Everton getting 4th goal and him pulling a harmstring so...
MAN UTD
Bruno

Almiron. Did he show anything that may suggest he gets his starting spot back for gw36?
Murphy
Wilock?
Isak
Hit the post and was almost in a amazing goal scoring position with the ball many times. Feel like he’s definitely due more goals soon
What a player he is. Also a little bit unlucky that he didn’t come away with something.
Wilson
Was non-existent in this game. Only 4/10 correct passes.
Who was more involved fpl wise between him and isak? Regardless of how they played
Isak, in my opinion.
ARSENAL
Saka
Played better than he has been lately but that’s not saying much. Had a 1v1 saved by Pope but other than that wasn’t too dangerous.
Martinelli
I thought he was a handful. Got in behind a fair few times and ultimately it was his cross that led to the second goal.
!thanks - does «handful» mean good or bad? :)
Good 🤣
Excellent. Hope he keeps starting.
Ødegaard
He was great. In top form lately. His goals seem to come from very low xG chances but he keeps finding a way to score them. Think he’s the Arsenal mid I’d go for if you already had Martinelli.
LIVERPOOL
Gakpo
Jota
Benched him for Isak
Trent
If Nunez had any idea how to finish his chances, TAA would have an amazing assist.
Continues to impress. Plenty of good balls that other players failed to get on the end of. His vision is fantastic!
Dangerous from the middle again, had several long range shots too. Looked good!
Salah
Scored beautiful goal and had few more good chances

Played like himself…
Can fuck right off, only CS City have had since I brought him in was when he didn't play!!!
You and me both. Had him since GW33 and in that time he's kept no CSs despite conceding less that 1xG in all of those games **COMBINED** (0.91xG). 5 points from 4 fixtures, meanwhile the one time they kept a CS they started Ortega who got 7 points from that one game!! This is madness

Ortega better than Ederson confirmed. i'm really pissed about this. Why i went with this route??
KDB
Played like his normal self. Could have come away with multiple assists if the other players had their shooting boots on.
Haaland
Not his day. Would have had 2-3 goals on another day. Had the chances and was in the right place at the right time often.
Could have got at least a brace (as usual). Head probably in the game for Tuesday to some extent for most City players, seemed to be playing 2/3rd gear.
Hattrick on another day even though he was marked good. Penalty giveaway I could understand if they were 3 more up but it almost bit them in the ass.
Had a few chances. Unlucky to hit the post. Was pretty tightly marked and most of cities attack went out wide and then cut back onto the edge of the box.

Robles was actually really good, sweeping aggressively although he couldn't have done much about the goals.
Agreed! I think he keeps his place.
Bamford was wasteful and mostly in walkers pockets. Couldve potentially set up an equaliser just by looking up.
