Riyad Mahrez - Converts PK in 6-3 rout Mahrez converted a penalty on one of his five shots (one on target), tallied one assist and hauled in two chances created, 11 crosses (three accurate), two dribbles and eight corne...
Impact Mahrez has now logged in one goal and one assist in three straight matches and has scored in fourth consecutive starts. The playmaker has taken over most of set pieces of late and that has boosted his peripheral numbers as well. With seven starts in last nine matches he's been a regular fantasy force now.
DECEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Raheem Sterling - Bags brace in 6-3 romp Sterling scored twice, once from penalty on three shots (all on target) and added five dribbles and two tackles (one won) in Sunday's 6-3 win over Leicester City.
Impact Sterling continues his insane form with his fifth goal in four matches and has had a major contribution in seven of his last eight affairs. While quiet in those departments over his past two affairs, he's been productive in plenty of categoires overall including chances created and crosses.
DECEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Bernardo Silva - Creates two chances on Boxing day Silva had two chances created, two dribbles and 51 passes completed in Sunday's 6-3 win over Leicester City.
Impact While Silva was officially listed as the number 9, he was clearly a false 9 and delivered nothing close to whatr a striker would get in a regular outing. The versatile player has actually mostly had a defensive role of late with no goals or assists in last four starts. He still continues to produce decent peripheral numbers in multiple categories and has been a solid option in some formats.
DECEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin De Bruyne - Scores in 6-3 rout De Bruyne scored on three shots (one on target) and hauled in three chances created, seven crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 6-3 win over Leicester City.
Impact De Bruyne is starting to look like himself again and has now bagged three goals in as many starts while producing 13 shots, 12 chances created, 14 crosses and six corners over the same period. The playmaker has now logged in four starts in last five matches after recently returning from his latest issue and should continue holding a massive upside moving forward.
DECEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Ilkay Gundogan - Scores in win over Leicester Gundogan scored on two shots (both on target) and added two dribbles and 40 passes completed in Sunday's 6-3 win over Leicester City.
Impact Gundogan has been in a clinical form of late with one goal and two assists over his past two affairs. The midfielder has had two goals and three assits iin his last six appearances and has been very consistent in peripheral stats over that span as well.
DECEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Ruben Dias - Assists in 6-3 victory Dias tallied one assist, one shot (off target), two interceptions, two clearances and team-high 124 passes completed in Sunday's 6-3 win over Leicester City.
Impact Dias has now mustered a goal and an assist in back to back matches and has been a fantasy monster with two goals, one assist and three clean sheets over his past seven appearances (six starts).
DECEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Fernandinho - Assists in rare start Fernandinho tallied one assist, one shot (on target), two dribbles, two tackles (one won), three fouls drawn and a yellow card on four fouls committed in Sunday's 6-3 win over Leic...
Impact Fernandinho logged in his first start in last four matches but only fifth all season. He turned in a solid overall produciton delivering his second assist of the campaign along with his one goal though until he can earn a more regular role in the starting XI his overall fantasy upside will remain fairly limited.
DECEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Joao Cancelo - Sends two crosses in 6-3 win Cancelo had one shot (off target), two crosses (none accurate) in Sunday's 6-3 win over Leicester City.
Impact While not officially credited with an assist, Cancelo was the main factor behind one of the goals for City. The full-back though has officially logged in major offensive contributions in just one of his last seven starts though he's also added two clean sheets in that span and remains a major fantasy factor.
DECEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Aymeric Laporte - Scores in 6-3 victory Laporte scored on his lone shot and added three clearances and 109 passes completed in Sunday's 6-3 win over Leicester City.
Impact Laporte finally notched his first major offensive contribution since his season opener in August and merely his second goal of the campaign. The center-back though has been a key cog in fantasy formats of late with a clean sheet in each of his previous three outings while also producing 10 shots, nine tackle, seven interceptions and seven clearances over his past five starts alone.
DECEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Ederson - Makes five saves in 6-3 win Ederson made five saves in Sunday's 6-3 win over Leicester City.
Impact Ederson had a rough outing here having his most goals allowed in a game this season, with three. The keeper though had a clean sheet in each of his previous three outings while grabbing 10 saves over his last four matches and has been productive in most fantasy formats of late.
