#2 Kevin De Bruyne

Having just come back from injury, De Bruyne is owned by just 14% of the entire game at the moment, with many of these being inactive teams as well.

For this week, you can’t possibly have a better differential than the Belgian maestro.

While his FPL season has been quite ordinary from his standards, with just one open-play goal to his name all season, we all know what De Bruyne is capable of doing as we have seen over the years.

The penalty situation at Manchester City is an awkward one but you would expect De Bruyne to step up to take the next one if they are given one, which is a major thing in his favor.

Even though I do think there’s a good chance of De Bruyne starting both games in the DGW, I have my reservations about his minutes.

With him playing 180 minutes in DGW26, we could see his minutes be limited this week, especially against Southampton.
