Man City couldn’t build on yet another Erling Haaland(£12.2m) goal – his 21st of the FPL season in the league – and yet again lost a clean sheet. Demarai Gray (£5.3m) was the party pooper, with Everton somehow salvaging a draw from a total expected goals (xG) tally of 0.09.
Meanwhile. Kevin De Bruyne (£12.5m) was involved in nine of City’s chances either as shooter or creator.
Marcus Rashford (£6.8m) was a surprise omission from the Manchester United teamsheet on Saturday lunchtime, with it soon transpiring that his benching was an “internal disciplinary” measure rather than a fatigue-led breather.
The good news for Rashford owners is that Erik ten Hag now considers the matter closed.

The England international will presumably be back in the starting XI come Gameweek 19.
Meanwhile, It’s Double Gameweek time for Fulham and Aleksandar Mitrovic (£6.9m), who avoided picking up a fifth booking of the season in the Cottagers’ 2-1 win over Southampton.
Mitrovic isn’t completely in the clear yet, mind, as a caution in Tuesday’s clash with Leicester City will see the Serb sit out Fulham’s secondGameweek 19 match through suspension.
Budget gem Andreas Pereira (£4.6m) moved joint-third among all FPL assets for assists (six) this season, with his strike taking a deflection off James Ward-Prowse (£6.2m) to break the deadlock.
Elsewhere, three of the six top-scoring FPL midfielders of 2022/23 are on Arsenal’s books, and all of them were among the goals on Saturday evening.
Gabriel Martinelli (£6.8m) and Martin Odegaard (£6.5m) both delivered double-digit hauls after Bukayo Saka(£8.1m) had opened the scoring.
The Double GW19 deadline is set for Today at 6:30pm WAT. Get your transfers going!
