- Even with just two matches on the fixture list for the day, we couldn't get a clean sweep of club usage as nobody selected a player from Brighton.
- Only one participant went with one of Brighton's opponents though with that person being Scott. His selection Jorginho was ineffective going forward for the Blues but his work defensively, including 7 tackles and 3 clearances, helped prop him up with a 6.9 (ni.ce) rating in the draw.
- We almost had our first blank of the year as Greg had to go to Step 2 of the Last Man In process with Brentford's Mads Bidstrup (6.3) after having already been assigned Saman Ghoddos earlier in the campaign.
- Narrowly beating those Bees was the day's most supported side, Manchester City. They had four selections in total.
- The lone double-up of the day was with Bernardo Silva who was selected by both Matt and Ryan. The Portuguese midfielder continued to struggle playing slightly further back behind the front three than normal and finished his second consecutive selection day under 7.0 with a 6.9 (ni.ce) rating.
- The final two picks were tied for the day's top score as Phil Foden (Trevor) and Fernandinho (Andrew) each earned a 7.5 for their respective efforts. Foden scored the game's only goal while City's Brazilian captain completed 90% of their passes and lost possession only 9 times in 98 touches.
- Only Greg or Matt could have hit the optimal scorer of this afternoon which was Kevin De Bruyne. He assisted on Foden's goal and nearly had a second that Jack Grealish was just a whisker behind latching onto. His 8.2 was the only rating to surpass 8.0 in either match.
