Gvardiol and Manchester City have 8 green fixtures from GW 1 to GW 11, and it’s important to note that in the second game week the Premier League champions are playing at home against newly promoted side Ipswich.
Last season, from a Fantasy Premier League perspective, the Croatia international has scored 123 points, with 4 goals scored and 2 assists provided. In this moment, Gvardiol is the second most owned defender behind William Saliba (DEF, 6.0m) from Arsenal.
