#FPL Quick Analysis Thread: Man City

Since rotation is a key concern for FPL managers at the moment, I decided to look into the City assets to *try* and get a better understanding of which players may be at risk.

I hope this can be of some use for you👍🏻

#FPL #FPLCommunity
Let's start off by looking at the minutes played by the main City FPL assets in each game since the restart (GW30+).

Both De Bruyne & D. Silva have played the full 90 in the most games (3), with both having played the full 90 last match.

Mahrez has only played the full 90 once since the restart. However, he has started the most games of any City player (5/6).

Pep clearly favours him to start each game and therefore often brings him off early in preparation for the next game.

De Bruyne has played the most minutes since the restart (399), averaging the most minutes per game (66.5).

He is yet to not feature in a game, which in line with rumours of a knock, could suggest that he is well overdue a full rest.

Mahrez - Pep's clear favourite of late - has played the second-highest minutes (378) and has the second-highest average minutes (63).

He too is yet to not feature in a game, which could suggest a rest is due, though his early-subbings may counter this.

Sterling is one of the few - alongside Foden and D. Silva - who have had a full game's rest amongst the tight schedule.

This could be a promising sign for those who own him. He also came on as sub last game, so he is almost guaranteed to start the next.

Foden is the top scorer for City since the restart, and one of only two players to score having come on as a sub (alongside Sterling).

Given his cheap price (ÂŁ5.4m), he is definitely a useful asset (even as bench cover) for your team.

So what can we take from this?

• De Bruyne is due a rest and his high minutes are something to be conscious of

• Pep loves starting Mahrez; however, he too is a due a rest

• Sterling has had a fine balance of rest and gametime, which is optimal

For anyone reading this - thanks! If you found it to be of some use, please RT👍🏻

Worth bearing in mind that playing the Pep roulette is gambling, and gambling is risky. So... who knows.

Good luck!
