MUN vs MCI Fantasy Prediction
Goal-keeper
He’s been in charge of the sticks for City in the Carabao Cup and a stellar Premier League debut sees Zach Steffen be our goal-keeper for this outing.
Defenders
They might have conceded late on against Chelsea but that doesn’t faze us for opting for a duo from City. In Joao Cancelo and Ruben Dias, the club has two worldclass names, players who have completely overhauled the team’s defensive setup.
Manchester United on the other hand will see us opt for Eric Bailey and Aaron Wan-Bissaka after his assist the last time around.
Mid-fielders
Scoring and assisting the one goal apiece against Chelsea sees us make Kevin de Bruyne the first pick from City. He’s joined by Phil Foden who had a goal and assist as well in the affair.
Ilkay Gundogan who scored as well on the day and Riyadh Mahrez will complete the set of picks from the club. Manchester United on the other hand will see top scorer Bruno Fernandes find company in Scott McTominay.
Strikers
He scored earlier at the weekend to see us opt for Marcus Rashford in this slot.
Captain And Vice-Captain
Kevin’s three goals and eight assists in the league make him our captain while Bruno is the vice-captain.
Fantasy Team
Steffen, Aaron, Eric, Dias, Cancelo, Kevin, Scott, Bruno, Foden, Mahrez, Ilkay, Rashford.
