2025 Fantasy Outlook
Cherki joined City from Lyon this summer in a move that has much of Europe talking about the possibilities, linking an already prolific goal scorer and ball distributor with an already loaded squad. He expects to take some of the Kevin De Bruyne role, but it's almost impossible to be that direct of a replacement. He recorded 31 goal contributions between Europa League and Ligue 1 play last season and his creative numbers have been compared to the best in Europe. The biggest question in his first season will be if the minutes are consistently available to him. City are deep at every position if everyone stays healthy, and there's no guarantee frequent starts will be available for Cherki.
Debut goal from bench
F/MManchester City
August 17, 2025
Cherki scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 4-0 victory against Wolverhampton.
ANALYSIS
Cherki didn't make his Premier League debut until 73 minutes were gone in the match Saturday, appearing as a substitute. However, he would have a debut to remember after scoring a goal, hitting a strike on the ground that found the back of the net in the 81st minute. He will hope this propels him to a starting spot next contest, but will still have to battle for minutes in this loaded team, with Phil Foden, Jeremy Doku, Omar Marmoush and Oscar Bobb all bidding for minutes in the attack.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Lyon reject initial approach
F/MLyon
June 7, 2025
Lyon have rejected Manchester City's offer for Cherki, according to Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sport Deutschland.
ANALYSIS
Cherki is one of the top targets for Manchester City this summer, and the Citizens are looking to complete a move for the French star before the start of the FIFA Club World Cup. For that to happen, though, City must deliver a better offer since Lyon aren't likely to part ways with their star playmaker easily. Negotiations between the two clubs are expected to continue in the coming weeks.
