There’s another week of double play on the way for Manchester City, so are you ready to spin that wheel one more time for some ‘Pep roulette’?
The biggest winners in week 26 were the owners of Riyad Mahrez with 17 points in 180 minutes played, while goalkeeper Ederson, defenders Kyle Walker and Ruben Dias, and midfielder Kevin de Bruyne also started and completed both games.
But if you had Phil Foden on your team, you’ve probably sworn to yourself that you’ll never pick a City player again after just 25 minutes of action and one point in the double week of play.
Don’t give up on City players, but never try to guess coach Pep Guardiola – that’s the first rule of fantasy football!
You could move heaven and earth for Mahrez to enter your squad for week 27, only to find him on the bench for the Manchester derby or, possibly more painful, the home game against Southampton next week. Equally, you could ditch Foden this week and then watch him play 180 minutes and finish as City’s top points scorer in game week.
Statman Dave suggested on this week’s Fantasy 606 podcast that Ederson, Dias, and De Bruyne are your three strongest City picks if you were building a squad from scratch right now and don’t forget it comes from Joao Cancelo’s fan club president. .
I have Dias, John Stones, and Ilkay Gundogan on my team right now, and I’m sticking with them. The tough decision is whether to give Gundogan the captain’s armband in Week 27, but we’ll get to that in a bit.

Gareth Bale has been involved in seven goals in his last four appearances for Tottenham
I wish I had the foresight to go with Real Madrid striker on loan from Tottenham, Gareth Bale, in week 26.
Everything seemed to point to the fact that he could start against Burnley: eye-catching appearances off the bench against West Ham and Wolfsberger, and Spurs boss Jose Mourinho speaking warmly about a player returning to his best.
And so it turned out: 19 points in a 4-0 win over Burnley led to another outing against Fulham, although they couldn’t match the outing there. But if you were really bold and captained it three times, then you will be very satisfied with your 63 points.
I decided to go for Son Heung-min and Harry Kane instead, making the England captain my triple captain, and I certainly can’t complain about their returns, with 38 points from both of them, even if a single Kane goal felt a bit. disappointing. .
Interestingly, he would make the exact same decision again.
I think Bale is a luxury pick and quite expensive at £ 9.3 million. You can’t count on him starting every week, but there’s always the possibility of some big weird loot, so if you’ve got some money hanging around the kitty, if you’re looking for a differential against a rival in a mini-league what if He thinks he can predict Mourinho’s team picks, then he could be a great single player at the right time, as he has shown in week 26.
However, Son and Kane are obviously safer bets.
Time to drop Fernandes? Bruno Fernandes did not achieve a return attack in any of his matches in Week 26.
The other question I’ve been asking myself this week, which seems a bit odd, is: is it time to give Bruno Fernandes a break?
Yes that Bruno Fernandes. The Manchester United midfielder with 15 goals, 12 assists and 196 points so far this season, making him the top scorer of the match.
I’m thinking maybe just a short-term break with tricky-looking games against Manchester City and West Ham to come, followed by a blank in week 29, and then re-evaluating it when I play my second wild card in week 30 or 31.
It’s only worth doing if you’re picking someone of the caliber to beat Fernandes in the coming weeks and also with the matches to do so: De Bruyne, Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah and Tottenham’s Son Heung-min come to mind. .
I would also be tempted by James Maddison from Leicester or Jack Grealish from Aston Villa in my midfield, if I knew they were going to be fit. Grealish comes with the added bonus of having a match in week 29.
Can we trust Manchester City for the captaincy? Ilkay Gundogan played just eight minutes when Manchester City beat the Wolves 4-1 on Tuesday.
Finally, to the captaincy for week 27. Manchester City has this double week for all the usual candidates to appear, but will your man play both games? If not, could he do enough damage in a game like Gundogan did with his 19 points against Tottenham in week 24?
If you don’t feel like that risk, Liverpool’s Salah and Sadio Mane have a home game against Fulham, although the Cottagers have conceded a goal in their last five games.
Tottenham host Crystal Palace if you are considering Kane, Son or Bale; West Ham’s Michail Antonio also has a home game against Leeds, and Danny Ings has two games for Southampton, one at Sheffield United and the other at Manchester City.
It’s Gundogan or Kane for me and having foolishly picked Fernandes ahead of Gundogan in week 24, the Manchester City man is in the lead right now for me.
We need to make those decisions before 11:00 GMT on Saturday before Burnley v Arsenal, which starts at 12:30. Good luck!
