Pep Guardiola’s side welcome the Saints to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday 26 October, with kick-off scheduled for 15:00 (UK).
We enter the fixture unbeaten across our opening eight matches in the division this term, including our dramatic 2-1 win over Wolves in our previous league outing.
Having fallen behind at Molinuex, Josko Gvardiol equalised before half-time ahead of John Stones’ last-gasp winner in second-half injury time.
Although Russell Martin’s side are aiming to collect their first Premier League since their return to the top flight during the clash, they’ll certainly pose another tough test for City this weekend.
And the Scout has delivered another Scout Report to advise on who could deliver crucial points across the FPL Gameweek.
Read the latest instalment below…
CITY STAR
Phil Foden (£9.2m) can prove to be a high impact differential for Fantasy Premier League managers in Gameweek 9.
City face Southampton at home on Saturday afternoon and the art of FPL is choosing the right time to invest in a player.
At just 6.5% ownership, the England international could deliver a huge rise in rank for managers who invest early.
Last season, Foden was instrumental in Guardiola‘s side’s title charge returning 230 FPL points. Last weekend he showed why, coming off the bench to register the assist for John Stones’ added-time winner against Wolves.
The last time City faced Southampton at home in the Premier League, Foden registered a goal and an assist in a 4-0 victory.
ONE TO WATCH
Cameron Archer (£5.0m) is the Saints’ in-form attacker, having scored in back-to-back matches.
DIFFERENTIALS
Elsewhere, Son Heung-min (£9.8m) and Raul Jimenez (£5.7m) remain low-owned gems who have good potential in Gameweek 9.
Son returned from injury in Gameweek 9, immediately scoring in Spurs’ 4-1 win over West Ham.
Jimenez has now registered an attacking return in each of the last five gameweeks. In that time recording 36 points.
