Newcastle United (NEW) vs Manchester City (MCI) Dream11 Fantasy Sugestions
After the defeat against Chelsea, Manchester City will be looking for a strong response and will be determined to have a positive result against Newcastle United. With Kevin De Bruyne not expected to play, the captaincy option can be given to Riyad Mahrez.
The Algerian has been in stunning form this season and can be counted on to give Dream11 players plenty of points. The vice-captaincy option can be given to Phil Foden. The Manchester City youngster always creates plenty of chances and there is a good chance of him grabbing a goal or assist against Newcastle United.
Joe Willock and Jonjo Shelvey are safe options from Newcastle United. Willock has been in fine goalscoring form while Shelvey gets on the ball often and could get some valuable points
Fantasy Suggestion #1
Dubravka; John Stones, Zinchenko, Dias; Mahrez (C), Gundogan, Willock, Shelvey; Saint-Maximin, Gabriel Jesus, Phil Foden (VC)
Captain: Riyad Mahrez (MCI) Vice-captain: Phil Foden (MCI)
Fantasy Suggestion #2
Dubravka; John Stones, Zinchenko, Walker; Mahrez (VC), Gundogan, Willock, Shelvey, Murphy; Gabriel Jesus, Phil Foden (C)
Captain: Phil Foden (MCI) Vice-captain: Riyad Mahrez (MCI)
If Gabriel Jesus is not picked, Raheem Sterling can be taken instead. Sergio Aguero could also be an option if Pep Guardiola opts to go with a front 3 of Aguero, Foden and Sterling. Similarly, having a City left-back can also give high returns. If Guardiola decides to play Mendy/ Cancelo instead of Zinchenko, they can be picked as well.
Manchester City are expected to dominate this game and Riyad Mahrez could make all the difference tonight.
