2025 Fantasy Outlook
Gvardiol was arguably one of City's best players in their letdown of a 2024/25 campaign, starting 36 matches while serving between left-back and center-back, depending on where he was needed by Pep Guardiola. His two-way ability was once again on full display as he led the left flank, advancing at any chance he could to help the attack, earning him five goals despite the defender tag. He's unlikely to take a step down from this level in a system that fits perfectly to his game, though following the addition of Rayan Ait-Nouri, it does seem like he'll play more as a center-back going forward, which could lead to less time on the ball around the opponent's box.

Could be back Sunday
Gvardiol (fitness) could be back for Sunday's derby against Manchester United, coach Pep Guardiola said in the press conference. "The rest are fine."
ANALYSIS
Gvardiol was back in team training on Thursday and could be back available for Sunday's derby against Manchester United. This is good news for City since the Croatian has been an undisputed starter in the backline last season and he will bring a big boost for the team if he reach full fitness in the upcoming fixtures. Gvardiol could even see a starting role on Sunday with Rayan Ait-Nouri out due to an ankle injury.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Set to sign new deal
Gvardiol is expected to sign a new contract with Manchester City in the coming weeks, according to The Daily Star.
ANALYSIS
Several teams are interested in signing Gvardiol, but landing him won't be easy, as Manchester City have no interest in parting ways with him. Manchester City are set to offer the 22-year-old an improved contract worth £150,000 a week to extend his stay at the Etihad Stadium by two years. That would keep him under contract until the end of the 2029/30 season.
