Haaland matched him for goals. Two scored, 90 minutes, three bonus, 13 points. He costs £15.5m and about 7 in 10 own him. His owners got what they paid for. Nothing to do there. Hold him. Captain him when the fixture says so.
Foden supplied two assists in 90 minutes for 9 points. He costs £7.0m and fewer than 1 in 10 own him. Two City midfielders under £8m returned in the same match. Semenyo added an assist for 5 points at £8.5m; about 2 in 10 own him and he was outscored by two team-mates who cost less.
Now the part City defence owners came for. The clean sheet did not hold. Palace scored one. Guéhi played 90 minutes for 2 points — about 2 in 10 own him at £6.0m. O'Reilly played 88 minutes for 2 points at £6.5m, owned by about 2 in 10. Donnarumma made one save and finished on 0 points. A 4–1 win paid the attackers and nobody at the back. Do not read the scoreline as a defensive return. It was not one.
For Palace, Yeremy registered an assist in 67 minutes for 5 points. He costs £5.5m and almost nobody owns him. One assist in a 1–4 defeat is not a case for a transfer. Kamada played 90 minutes for 2 points. Ignore both for now.
The decision. Cherki is £7.5m, owned by about 1 in 10, and just posted 14 points with goals and bonus attached. He is the route into City's attack that does not cost £15.5m. Buy Cherki. Hold Haaland. Leave the City defenders alone until they keep one.
