- It was Monday Night Football in the Premier League as Crystal Palace took on Manchester City.
- Factoring in the two Last Men In, the picks were split down the middle in what eventually ended as a 0-0 draw.
- That aforementioned Last Man In was Jordan Ayew who earned both Andrew and Greg a 6.6 for nary a shot on target nor a pass misplaced.
- The other Palace supporter was Ryan who handed Marc Guehi his Pick One debut on the Palace backline. His 7.1 rating against the current league leaders was the second straight time, and third in four league matches, the 21-year old center half had above a 7.0 rating.
- Both the left and right sides of the City front three were represented and each posted the same rating of 7.1 with Matt taking Riyad Mahrez and Scott selecting Jack Grealish.
- By process of elimination that leaves game leader Trevor to take home the top score with Man City keeper Ederson who just pipped the trio behind him on the day with a 7.2 rating. The first selection of the Brazilian stopper this season netted that top tally on the back of his passing more than his work between the sticks. He completed 89% of his 30 passes from the back while he only had to stop one Palace shot on target.
- There was significantly more work to be done from our afternoon's optimal scorers, Vicente Guaita for Crystal Palace and Joao Cancelo from Manchester City. The Palace keeper stopped five shots, including three from close range, to keep his clean sheet while Cancelo had a ridiculous 128 touches from right back and successfully completed three attacking dribbles overlapping up that flank. Each man finished their spell with a 7.9 rating.
