Aston Villa v City: FPL Gameweek 9 Scout Report | OneFootball

The Scout's verdict is in for Gameweek 9 of Fantasy Premier League as City travel to Aston Villa.

Pep Guardiola's side visit Villa Park on Sunday 26 October, with kick-off scheduled for 14:00 (UK).

The Blues enter the fixture aiming to extend our unbeaten streak to 10 straight matches in all competitions having secured a 2-0 win over Villarreal in the Champions League last time out.

However, we'll need to be at our very best against Unai Emery's side who haven't tasted defeat in each of their previous five Premier League assignments.

All roads lead to an enthralling clash this Sunday which is of course one of 10 top-flight matches to be played this weekend as FPL managers plot a successful points haul.

With that in mind, read our latest report ahead of Friday 24 October's 18:30 (UK) deadline.

WATCH: Watch: At Home with Savinho

CITY STAR

Gianluigi Donnarumma (£5.7m) is fast becoming one of the best goalkeepers in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) and should enter managers’ thoughts ahead of Manchester City’s trip to Aston Villa in Gameweek 9 (GW9).

Since his arrival in the Premier League, the Italy international has returned three shutouts in five gameweeks and since GW4 only three goalkeepers have accumulated more FPL points than Donnarumma’s 21.

His price has already risen to £5.7m, but managers who buy him need never again worry about changing their goalkeeper all season.

ONE TO WATCH

After a slow start to the season Morgan Rogers (£6.8m scored his first goal of the season against Spurs last time out and produced an assist in each of the two previous gameweeks.

DIFFERENTIALS

Burnley's Lesley Ugochukwu (£5.0m) is a low-owned assets who can return points in Gameweek 9.

The former Southampton man has scored in back-to-back matches and has the chance to make it three in three against a Wolves side with the worst defensive record in the Premier League.
