Manchester City Assets Are In Demand For GW33
Manchester City currently find themselves two points outside the top four with just six matches remaining to secure Champions League qualification for next season.
This upcoming gameweek presents a crucial opportunity for them to leapfrog Newcastle and ramp up the pressure on the Magpies, especially with a double gameweek on the horizon.
City are set to face Everton away before hosting Aston Villa at the Etihad.
While Pep Guardiola’s side have managed only two wins in their last five league outings, their upcoming fixtures offer a real chance to get back on track with two positive results.
Meanwhile, Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka is the most transferred-in player ahead of the gameweek, as the Gunners also have a double—against Ipswich (away) and Crystal Palace (home).
But City dominate the transfer charts, with three players among the six most transferred-in assets.
First up is Omar Marmoush.
With Erling Haaland sidelined by injury, Marmoush is widely expected to lead the line.
He’s scored 30 FPL points across his last four appearances and is quickly becoming a popular pick among managers banking on his form to continue.
Next is Kevin De Bruyne.
The Belgian playmaker has delivered 15 points in his last two games, having both scored and assisted last time out.
With City needing inspiration in the final stretch, De Bruyne could play a decisive role in this double gameweek.
Lastly, Joško Gvardiol rounds out the trio.
The defender has returned 16 FPL points in his last three games and could rack up a solid haul if City keep clean sheets in both fixtures—offering value even without attacking returns.
It will be fascinating to see which of these three City assets emerges as the standout in this potentially pivotal double gameweek.
Where Do Things Stand With Mohamed Salah?
Mohamed Salah recently put pen to paper on a contract extension at Liverpool, committing his future to the Premier League until at least 2027.
The Egyptian star started the season in electrifying form and maintained an exceptional standard for much of the campaign.
However, there has been a slight dip in output over the past few weeks.
Salah has recorded just 11 FPL points in his last three appearances, a noticeable drop compared to the 35 points he produced in the three matches prior.
While this decline has sparked concern among some FPL managers, many still regard him as the Premier League’s standout performer—regardless of short-term fluctuations.
To put things into perspective for those questioning his value, let’s consider a hypothetical scenario: what if Salah’s entire season had been only half as productive?
Even then, his numbers would remain elite.
Salah has scored 27 goals this season—halve that, and he’d still rank among the Premier League’s top 10 scorers.
His 18 assists would drop to 9, still placing him in the top six for assists this season.
From an FPL standpoint, halving his current total would still leave him with 158 points—enough to place him inside the top 10 point-scorers in the game.
In short, even with a slight dip in form, Salah remains the most dangerous player in the league.
And even if his returns begin to taper off with age in the years ahead, his FPL value is unlikely to fade anytime soon.
Alexis Mac Allister vs Bruno Guimarães
Alexis Mac Allister and Bruno Guimarães are among the Premier League’s most well-rounded midfielders—both equally capable of delivering strong defensive performances while also contributing in the final third.
Despite their relatively low FPL price tags, they’ve offered solid returns for managers seeking reliable budget options in midfield.
Let’s take a closer look at how they compare.
Mac Allister has made 31 appearances for Liverpool this season, scoring 4 goals and registering 4 assists.
Guimarães, meanwhile, has featured in 32 matches for Newcastle, also scoring 4 goals but adding 6 assists to his tally.
Defensively, Mac Allister has helped Liverpool keep 8 clean sheets, while Guimarães has been involved in 4 for Newcastle.
Creatively, Bruno edges ahead.
He has created 12 big chances compared to Mac Allister’s 5 and completed 21 through balls to Mac Allister’s 5—highlighting his ability to unlock defences.
However, Mac Allister leads in other areas, attempting 70 crosses compared to Bruno’s 20, and being dispossessed far less frequently—just 20 times versus Bruno’s 72.
On the disciplinary front, Mac Allister has committed 58 fouls and received 6 yellow cards, while Guimarães has committed 48 fouls and received 5 bookings.
From an FPL perspective, both midfielders are priced at £6.2m.
Guimarães currently leads the points tally with 118, while Mac Allister has collected 104.
With just a few gameweeks remaining, it will be fascinating to see which of the two finishes the season with the higher FPL total and whether either can offer one final surge in value for fantasy managers.
