Who are best Man City players to buy? FPL gameweek three dilemmas

BBC Sport · 5 hours ago

BBC Sport's Fantasy Premier League expert Gianni Buttice sets out the key decisions facing FPL managers ahead of gameweek three, with much of the focus on Manchester City assets. Chip strategy, captaincy choices and whether to hold or sell certain defenders and midfielders are among the main dilemmas, as managers weigh up favourable fixtures against Coventry and Hull for City and Chelsea over the coming weeks.

Buttice suggests using a Wildcard or Free Hit chip to bring in Erling Haaland (£15.5m) is simpler than using multiple transfers, while making Haaland the Triple Captain pick is a strong alternative given Coventry's defensive frailties. In midfield, Rayan Cherki (£7.7m) is this week's most-bought player and the standout City pick, though Phil Foden (£7.0m) and Elliot Anderson (£6.4m) are also highlighted, and Josko Gvardiol (£5.6m) is rated the best defensive option despite concerns over Christos Tzolis's game-time. Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes (£12.0m) is described as close to the ideal FPL asset but pricier than alternatives such as Cole Palmer (£9.6m) or Bukayo Saka (£9.5m), and Buttice advises waiting before buying new signings such as Daniel Munoz, Bradley Barcola and Jack Grealish.
