Which Manchester City players should you consider for your Fantasy Champions League team in the new 2023/24 season?
This article is part of the series: UCL Fantasy Matchday 1: Tips, Best Picks & Captain
Best Manchester City players for UCL Fantasy 2023/24
Ederson (6.0m, Goalkeeper) – 7/10
- Each season, we have Manchester City defenders or goalkeepers in our teams
- Ederson is a safe goalkeeper pick, although City defense is not as reliable lately as we were used to
- With so many question marks among their defenders (we are not sure who will start), Ederson is likely the only nailed player in City’s defense
- Manchester City is not allowing many saves against, so you must rely on points from clean sheets and not from save
- Good group for clean sheets
- Higher price tag is a minus
Aké (4.5m, Manchester City) – 2/10
- could get 3-4 starts but will likely get benchings as well, expect rotation among Manchester City defenders
Ruben Dias (5.5m, Defender) – 8/10
- one of the few reliable Manchester City defenders and expected starters
- goal threat
- Solid at balls recovered
- MOTM candidate when City do well defensively
- City with a high probability of keeping a Clean Sheet in any match
Rodri (6.5m, Midfielder) – 8/10
- good at balls recovered, was top for balls recovered (alongside Otamendi) in the last season of UCL
- can recover stable points output (3-5 points per match) despite the lower price
- On average 6 balls recovered per game
- can get you an occasional goal from time to time, and he is playing a more advanced role this season for City after Gundogan’s departure and KdB injury. Especially when Kovačič plays, Rodri can get higher on the pitch.
- 2G + 2A in the last 6 games for City
Foden (8m, Midfielder) – 6/10
- After Rodri, another Man City midfielder to consider in the UCL Fantasy
- If you pick him, you must accept that he will be benched sometimes due to rotation among Man City players
- But while KdB is injured, he should start majority matches
Alvarez (7m, Forward) – 9/10
- excellent bargain
- so far started all Man City matches in Premier League
- great form with 2G + 5A in 5 PL matches
- you will need more City attackers for their MD1 fixture against Crvena Zvezda, not just Haaland, and Alvarez is a perfect addition
Haaland (11.5m, Forward) – 10/10
- definitely underpriced
- you want best players from best team in your UCL Fantasy team
- The form, fixture, reliability.. he has everything you want from fantasy football asset
- hard to believe he is owned only by 66% of UCL Fantasy managers (In FPL it is 91 % despite his 14m price tag)
