Picking the right players is important. The Citizens possess so many gifted players it becomes a headache for managers to pick the team. But, there are many players Guardiola keeps in his regular team and that can solve all the problems while selecting players for the Fantasy Premier League.

The most obvious pick would be Kevin De Bruyne. Costing at around 12.0, he is the go-to man of Pep and a favorite for FPL players. Guaranteeing assists and goals, KDB enters many teams because of his productivity. A valiant performer on the pitch, he is the chief set-piece taker for City providing enough offensive arsenal for both Pep and FPL managers.

Secondly, Ruben Dias enters the list of must-take City players. The defender has been a stalwart for City last season leading them to the Premier League title. Costing at around 6.0, he may be a tad costly, compared to getting fullbacks at a cheaper price or the same. However, Dias is a starter for City and their brilliant defense practically guarantees clean sheets. Plus, he chips in with some goals as well.

The next player will be Ederson. He is the ultimate Pep Guardiola player. No other goalkeeper is as good as him in picking a pass out of from the back. An incredible kicker of the ball, Ederson costs 6.0 and is a 100 percent starter for City.

After scoring 13 goals and providing 2 assists last season, Ilkay Gundogan has become a regular starter for Pep. Costing at around 7.4, Ilkay is a good signing for players who look forward to a decent selection with a moderate price. His offensive output has improved while becoming a surprise goal scorer last season. With KDB out injured most of the time, he provided the creative spark for City, last time around. However, with the signing of Jack Grealish, Ilkay is expected to sit back and dictate their tempo from the middle.

Finally, enter Grealish. With a price tag of 8.0, many players would be skeptical about his introduction to the team. Breaking the 100 million transfer record, City are going to start him. Although there are many players in City, Grealishs fluidic movement, technical dribbling, and chance creation are why Pep signed him for. And he is going to start for City.
