WATCH: PLAY-BY-PLAY | City's best goals

CITY STAR

Foden was handed his first start of the season in GW4 and he shone in the Manchester derby, playing in a central role and crowning a superb performance with an opening goal.

He completed more passes in the final third than any team-mate (10) and had two shots on goal.

Foden’s 13 defensive contributions were more than any player in the match. With two bonus the City man finished the match with 12 points, only one fewer than Erling Haaland (£14.1m) who scored twice.

ONE TO WATCH

Viktor Gyokeres (£9.0m) has scored three goals in four matches for Arsenal in the league. All those strikes have come at Emirates Stadium.

DIFFERENTIALS

Elsewhere, Sunderland’s Robin Roefs (£4.5m) and Crystal Palace’s Maxence Lacroix (£5.0m) are low-owned gems who have the potential to return in Gameweek 5.

Roefs has kept two clean sheets and made one penalty save, while only Guglielmo Vicario (£5.1m) has made more saves than his 13.

Lacroix, has earned three clean sheets in four matches with the Frenchman is the fifth-highest scoring defender in FPL with 28 points.
