Ahead of the 2023-24 campaign, we have taken a look at the Manchester City players you need for the FPL season. Read below to find out more.
Pep Guardiola guided his side to Premier League glory once again last season, as City blew Arsenal’s title challenge out of the water in emphatic style.
Star striker, Erling Haaland, broke record after record in his opening campaign and scored a staggering 36 goals in England’s top-flight.
Premier League success was not the only feather in the hat of Manchester City, with the blue side of Manchester also winning the FA Cup and for the first time history, the UEFA Champions League.
So, with that said, who from this super squad should be going into your Fantasy Premier League squad?

1. Erling Haaland (£14.5m)
Coming in at first on the list, which will come as no surprise, is the Norwegian superstar Erling Haaland. The former Borussia Dortmund star is a must for FPL users this year after contributing to 46 Premier League goals last season.
Despite being the most expensive player on the site at £14.5m, signing Haaland is a no brainer for users this year and could even top his astronomical points tally from last season, 2767.
His goalscoring prowess should be on display from the moment this season begins, as City face newly-promoted Burnley in the opening match of the campaign.
2. Kevin De Bruyne (£10.5m)
The Belgian midfielder has been a constant presence in FPL squads over recent years, as he continues to impress with both goals and more frequently, assists.
Registering 18 assists last season, De Bruyne finished top of the charts for providers once again and after a full season with Erling Haaland, the relationship between the pair can only improve.
Forking out on the duo would cut into 1/4 of the £100m budget, however, the rewards that both should bring make it a worthwhile decision for FPL enthusiasts.
3. Phil Foden (£7.5m)
Next on the list is City star, Phil Foden, who is set for a huge season and arguably the most important of his young career.
The Englishman has been in and out of the starting eleven in previous years, however, after the departure of Ilkay Gundogan and Riyad Mahrez, Foden’s opportunity to step-up has never been more clear.
At £7.5m, the 22-year-old is a far cheaper option than his Belgian teammate and with 18 goal contributions last season, he could be an ideal option going in to the 2023-24 campaign.
4. John Stones (£5.5m)
The penultimate player on this list is England international, John Stones, who stunned the world with his performances in both the Premier League and Champions league last year.
Pep Guardiola introduced the defender to a new role within the City side, dropping into a midfield position for large parts of the season. This will not only continue his defensive contribution but also increase the possibility of goals and assists.
At just £5.5m, Stones could be a shrewd selection for FPL users, as Manchester City are always likely to maintain a clean sheet in the majority of their matches.
5. Ederson (£5.5m)
The final player that should be in consideration for FPL lovers is Brazilian shot-stopper, Ederson, who has once again shown why he is one of the best in his position.
City kept 11 clean sheets last season, which is not the highest of numbers, however, after Pep Guardiola’s recent signing of Josko Gvardiol, the club’s defence has improved once again.
The former Benfica goalkeeper has even contributed with assists in the past, most famously for Sergio Aguero in the 2018-19 season and again in 2022 for Ilkay Gundogan.
