Pep Guardiola's side have two fixtures in Double Gameweek 23, hosting Aston Villa on Sunday before traveling to Arsenal three days later.

Erling Haaland (£12.2m) is obviously the best Man City pick and still the best player in the game. If you still have your Triple Captain chip left to play, you should use it on the Norwegian this week.
Joao Cancelo's departure has left a void at left-back and Nathan Ake's (£5.1m) versatility, which allows him to play there and at centre-back, puts him in a good place to start both matches in DGW23 and makes him a great pick.

| Utkarsh Dalmia | Haaland | De Bruyne | Ake |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gianni Buttice | Haaland | De Bruyne | Lewis |
| Lee Bonfield | Haaland | De Bruyne | Lewis |
| Lateriser | Haaland | Mahrez | De Bruyne |
| Sam Bonfield | Haaland | Mahrez | De Bruyne |
| Pras | Haaland | De Bruyne | Mahrez |

Despite lots of rotation, City's defence is still worth covering. Rico Lewis (£3.9m) offers exceptional value, and with no Cancelo, feels like the only full-back that can play the inverted midfield role in possession. This makes me confident of Lewis starting the majority of matches.

Haaland is definitely still the top Man City pick. The other two spots are more open to debate. City, and Haaland especially, missed the creativity of Kevin De Bruyne (£12.4m) in the 1-0 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur. He'll come back in and should play both matches.

Haaland obviously has to be an autopick. Own the forward and hand him the armband. Riyad Mahrez (£7.7m) has made that right-wing spot his own and looks a great option for DGW23.

Even though he failed to have a shot against Spurs in Gameweek 22, Haaland remains the best City pick this week.
Outside of Haaland, the City spots are tough. Even with a 59th-minute substitution in Gameweek 22, Mahrez is the best City player to own after the Norwegian. Mahrez has returned in five of City's Premier League matches since the season resumed and has registered just two points fewer than Haaland in that time.

As a De Bruyne owner, I am keeping faith. Both the recent benchings came against Spurs' back five, a formation that Man City's DGW23 opponents aren't likely to line up in.
