Gvardiol leads City FPL picks ahead of Ipswich clash

Manchester City host Ipswich Town at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday 17 October, with a 15:00 kick-off, as Pep Guardiola's side look to extend their perfect Premier League start.

Defender Joško Gvardiol is the standout Fantasy Premier League pick for the fixture. The Croatian has registered a return in all six of his appearances this season, tallying one goal and four assists — the most assists of any defender in the game.

Gvardiol came off the bench in Gameweek 6 and contributed his fourth assist of the season in City's 3-0 win over Liverpool at Anfield. Only Erling Haaland and Rayan Cherki have more attacking returns in the City squad this term.

City arrive into the match on the back of a 4-2 Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain midweek, though their Premier League form remains unblemished — six wins from six, scoring 16 goals and sitting top of the table.

Ipswich's top FPL asset is forward Emersonn, who has accumulated 28 points this season from two goals, an assist and six bonus points.

Among differential options, Jan Paul Van Hecke has scored 25 FPL points over the last four matches, while Brighton teammate Luka Vuskovic has contributed to the league's joint-highest clean sheet tally this season with four.
