AIT-Nour injured + Frank about the net sheet value

Manchester City’s scourge team hit Tottenham Hotspur made him eight wins in their last 15 meetings with Pep Guardiola’s side.

From the renewal of injury to spurs solidity, this is what we see in Etihad.

Ait-nouri’s injury-before there is a real update

On weekends injured big names, FPL defender is the third most owned, Rayan Ait-Nouri (£ 6.1 million), is another victim.

The wolf wing -back only lasted 23 minutes from the Saturday defeat of Spurs, appearing to turn his ankle before leaving.

Pep Guardiola doesn’t help much after full time.

“I don’t know yet, I haven’t talked to the doctors.” -Pep Guardiola in Rayan Ait-Nouri

Elsewhere in front of fitness, Stem (£ 6.4 million) and Phil foot (£ 8.0 million) Returns to the squad. Both of them came as a substitute for the 75th minute.

Manuel Akji (£ 5.5 million) and Ilkay Gundogan (£ 6.4 million) Skipping this time-but it is nothing related to injury. In the possibility of a sign that it will come, now the city has a bigger squad, their turn just comes out.

“The last match, it was Rodri and Phil [Foden] go out. I said many times, with deeper troops, I had to spin. Next time, maybe it will be another. ” – Pep Guardiola

Haaland has a chance

Erling Haaland (£ 14.1 million) experienced a surge in demand before Gameweek 2, was recruited by more than 500,000 FPL managers and price increases.

He emptying but he really shouldn’t do it: he missed the header caretaker, saw Omar Marmoush (£ 8.4 million) rejects great opportunities from the ball-through noble-balls, then somehow succeeded in mastering simple bait Rayan Cherki (£ 6.5 million) which will leave France International with a routine final result.

Haaland is finished with the involvement of the expected objectives of the higher non-identification (NPXGI) than other attackers at Gameweek 2 so far:

City has another opportunity outside involving Haaland, with marmoush competing to send initial opportunities from a wide narrow angle. There are a number of things that are run from the set of the set too.

It was far from the display that flowed freely last week but at least one goal should have arrived.

For Tijjani Reijnders (£ 5.6 million), we mentioned in the Scout record last weekend that “there will be a time -time when Guardiola uses Reijnders differently” and “Pep Guardiola uses ’10’ in front of him”. That’s what happened here, with Rayan Cherki (£ 6.5 million) brought to the side.

Reinders barely set foot into the Spurs box but as much as any tactical, the decision making was rather inactive; He has a little stinker, honestly. However, it might say that he and Haaland were the only midfielder/future and the last 90 minutes.

Pep on Trafford v Ederson

James Trafford (£ 5.0 million) keeps its place between sticks even though they return to fitness Ederson (5.5m).

After a solid show last weekend, Trafford made Rick a terrible for Spurs’ second goal on Saturday, with Joao Palhinha (£ 5.5 million) take advantage.

Some argue that trafford can receive lines in line before the mistake, rushing to meet Kudus Mohammed (6.5m).

He made a good first match, James, and I decided to continue. When I make a decision, usually in the first part of the season – not only for ‘guards, guards are a special position, of course, to have more consistency in the goal, but for all players – when you play one or two [games]Everyone thinks: ‘Okay, this is a starting line-up, these are the players who will play’. I have learned from years, the number of this game, everyone will play. Just today I decided that. ” – Pep Guardiola, when asked the reason in the back remains with James Trafford in the goal even though Ederson is fit

Not only goalkeepers who deserve a stick. Playing in a high line without a questioning Pacy defender is questionable. Will Pep learn his lessons for Gameweek 3 against other teams who defend themselves from the front, Brighton?

Frank about the Importance of Clean Sheets

It was from the steps to pierce a high line that led the Spurs, with Richarlison (£ 6.6 million) cross Brennan Johnson (£ 7.0 million). After rising 2-0 from Trafford’s Howler, you will forgive Lilywhites for sitting in their profits.

But still they came, threatening to print them as many as City as a life line.

There was a warning from two years ago when a new manager was swept into North London, breaking a new life into a stale club. The honeymoon period did not survive at that time, except for the last European League romance.

But Thomas Frank is a little more measured than his predecessor and is more forged in a tactic. This is not to say Spurs will be a big four competitor but have more than one way of playing must give them more opportunities.

And, with good news for those of us who have Spurs defenders on FPL, Frank seems more concerned with clean sheets.

“The second half, I think we are very good. The big spell where we can think that they will press us, I think we are very aggressive in high pressure. I think we are very feet in front, with a mindset to constantly go for goals 3-0.

“And then, then I have to say that clean sheet makes me very happy. This is a big thing we have done, not on a clean sheet because it is easier to say than to do, but on the defensive side of the game, high pressure, middle block, low block, maintaining boxes, mentality, blocking shots, all of them.

“Because if you get a clean sheet, you are closer to winning the match. Also last year we have six clean sheets, so yes, it’s very big for me.” – Thomas Frank

“The defensive side of the game, diverse in phases one and two, and set pieces.” – Thomas Frank about his three main principles in Gameweek 2

Threatens a return

Frank stressed the importance of defending and adjusting the pieces? That’s music in the ear Pedro Porro (£ 5.5 million) owner.

Twice Porro founded Richarlison for a good opportunity, once from an open game and once from the situation of the ball dead. Spanish wing -back is also in a direct free kick, seeing his efforts to hit the wall before he criticized the follow -up only wide.

Elsewhere in defense, Guglielmo Vikar (£ 5.0 million) imitating the achievements of Gameweek 1 with the catch of nine second points in a row.

Cristian Romero (£ 5.0 million) is the only one displayed for Bank Defcon Points, meanwhile.

Richarlison in Solanka

Richarlison has several decent opportunities but at least he turns the assist, and is now sitting together on the FPL Forwards table.

It is a strong line-leading performance from Brazil, which seems to be saved Dominic Solanke (£ 7.4 million) out of the side to walk the third week.

Rotation can give a signal when the Champions League entered after Gameweek 4, of course.

“Once again, I think Richie performed well today. Top assist, presence there, work ethic. Everything is very, very, very good about it.

“We need two good strikers, we will play a lot of games. And, of course, Richie now starts, so she only needs to save her clothes.” – Thomas Frank in Richarlison

Johnson, meanwhile, made him two goals in as many gameweeks as possible – and from only two shots in the 2025/26 box.
