On Wednesday the champions welcome Brentford to the Etihad. Cit’s next two games guarantee goals, with Norwich to follow after this fixture. If you don’t already own 3 City players, I think now is the right time to do so. Cancelo (£7.1m) has obviously been City’s player of the season to date producing incredible numbers for a full back. Must have player in my opinion. From looking at other mangers teams surprisingly De Bruyne's (£12.2m) name doesn’t appear as much as it should considering the number’s he has been producing lately. With receiving 19 points in his last two game weeks, I wouldn’t be surprised to see those numbers replicated with the next two fixtures against Brentford and Norwich.

Villa vs Leeds is a game managers can benefit from, especially from the Villa players. Stevie G has made a great impact and his signings in the winter transfer window suggests this form may not dip anytime soon. Coutinho (£7.0m) put himself on the shop window with a dream return to the Premier League when he scored against Man Utd. Digne (£5.1m) has proved what he can do in the Premier League to date with Everton, rubbing it in their faces when he assisted in Villa's 1-0 win against Everton in the last fixture. Villa have a run of 5 very winnable fixtures in a row. They have added depth to their squad, scoring goals and getting clean sheets. I will try my best to get 1 or 2 of their players into my team for the next 5 GWs to try gain some differential points.  

Will Mo Play?? I would have said no chance. Half an hour ago I seen a video of him running on to the training pitch now I’m going against all my plans for this GW to try and fit him in!! I would still say Rodger’s is under pressure with performances and results this year, although the first game of this fixture seen Leicester grab all 3 points. After the FA Cup result, I’ll be shocked to see Leicester get any points this time at Anfield. I really like the look of Liverpool’s new signing Díaz (£8.0m), its hard to predict will he get the minutes as he is arguably fighting for a position against the best front three in the league. At this stage there is no point mentioning Jota (£8.5m) and Trent’s (£8.5m) value for money as they go up in Price week in week out. That speaks for itself. 

Other honourable mentions for the GW ahead would be Gallagher (£6.2m) and Edouard (£6.5m) when they travel to Norwich, they have 5 good fixtures ahead of them with GW26 being a double fixture. Kane (£12.3m) seems to have found form again and with the return of Son (£10.6m) this partnership may kick off again with a home fixture to Southampton. The run of fixtures ahead aren’t generally difficult (Except for City in the Double GW26), plus they have a lot of games in hand on their top 4 opponents to come.
