<h2>Best FPL Players for Gameweek 13 | Bernardo vs Foden</h2>
<p>The winter schedule has begun, the part of the season in which Man City usually show their best form.</p>
<p>Their next few fixtures look extremely appealing, with strugglers Watford and Newcastle in their next four as well as favourable games against Brentford, Leeds, Wolves and Leicester in their next six.</p>
<p>I think it&#8217;s time to look for a City attacker, and with <strong>Bernardo Silva</strong> and <strong>Phil Foden</strong> looking virtually nailed and providing good value, both look great options.</p>
<h3><em><strong><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-41149 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/FFStuffImage-2-1.jpg" alt="Best FPL Players for Gameweek 15" width="997" height="812" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/FFStuffImage-2-1.jpg 997w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/FFStuffImage-2-1-300x244.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/FFStuffImage-2-1-768x625.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/FFStuffImage-2-1-610x497.jpg 610w" sizes="(max-width: 997px) 100vw, 997px" /></strong></em></h3>
<p>Despite Foden&#8217;s tough start to the season due to injury, he has still managed a respectable three goals and two assists in seven starts.</p>
<p>In his eight appearances, he&#8217;s only played less than 85 minutes twice, and played the full game in five out of eight. Meanwhile, Bernardo has been one of the league&#8217;s stand-out performers so far; starting every game since gameweek one, and playing the full game in all bar two.</p>
<p>He&#8217;s managed five goals and two assists in that time, but four of those goals and one assist came in the last seven gameweeks.</p>
<p>Bernardo has played practically double the minutes of Foden, yet Foden has recorded a higher expected assist tally, as well as as many shots in the box. Minutes are a crucial aspect given Pep&#8217;s constant rotation though, especially coming into the crammed Christmas schedule.</p>
<p>I do think Bernardo is more certain to start, although both should start the majority.</p>

<h2><strong>Bernardo vs Foden | Price</strong></h2>
<p>Bernardo is priced at £7.3m at the time of writing, saving you £1.1m if you opt for him over Foden. That is quite a hefty difference, so it&#8217;s worth bearing in mind, and will impact my conclusion.</p>
<p>In terms of replacements in the future, there isn&#8217;t too much separating the two, although Diogo Jota (£7.9m) is the other stand-out option in their price bracket.</p>

<h2><strong>Bernardo vs Foden | Position</strong></h2>
<h3><strong><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-41150 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/FFStuffImage-3-1.jpg" alt="Best FPL Players for Gameweek 15" width="997" height="812" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/FFStuffImage-3-1.jpg 997w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/FFStuffImage-3-1-300x244.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/FFStuffImage-3-1-768x625.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/FFStuffImage-3-1-610x497.jpg 610w" sizes="(max-width: 997px) 100vw, 997px" /></strong></h3>
<p>In terms of touches so far this season, not too much separates Bernardo and Foden according to our <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/">OPTA Stats Tool</a>.</p>
<p>Foden&#8217;s penalty area is darker red, although given Bernardo&#8217;s deeper role, he will naturally have a lower ratio of his touches in the box due to commitments in possession.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s also observable that Foden can find himself stuck in wide areas, which is something that puts me off him. When I&#8217;ve seen him play on the left, his goal threat can drop significantly, as Pep likes him to hug the touchline.</p>
<p>He&#8217;s played the last two games there, so from a fantasy perspective I hope he is returned into the centre &#8211; either as the false nine or midfield.</p>
<p>As shown by the heatmaps, Foden also takes corner kicks on both sides. That being said, City take the lowest proportion of direct kicks in the league, so the taker isn&#8217;t necessarily the main orchestrator.</p>

<h2><strong>Bernardo vs Foden | </strong><strong>Goal threat</strong></h2>
<div id="attachment_41153" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-41153" class="wp-image-41153 size-medium" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screenshot-245-300x144.jpg" alt="Best FPL Players for Gameweek 15" width="300" height="144" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screenshot-245-300x144.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screenshot-245.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /><p id="caption-attachment-41153" class="wp-caption-text">Goal threat &#8211; Foden top, Bernardo bottom</p></div>
<p>The table above is organised per start. Foden is averaging more shots of all types, as well as a higher xG and goals. Bernardo only beats him in terms of big chances.</p>
<p>Interestingly, all of Foden&#8217;s shots have been in the box, but despite having nearly 75% more shots in the box than Bernardo, he only beats Bernardo&#8217;s xG by 0.03. This data indicates that when Bernardo does get in the box, he really does get himself into the best positions &#8211; similar to Gundogan last season.</p>
<p>Bernardo&#8217;s shot accuracy beats Foden&#8217;s, with 69% of his shots hitting the target compared to Foden&#8217;s 57%. This isn&#8217;t surprsing given the areas in which Bernardo is taking his shots.</p>
<p>Since gameweek one, only Jota, Mane and Salah out of Fantasy midfielders have beaten Bernardo&#8217;s big chance total of seven, and five of those seven have come in the last seven gameweeks. On the other hand, since gameweek one Foden is only beaten by that trio for shots in the box per start. That is despite Foden facing Liverpool, Chelsea and Man Utd in his seven starts.</p>
<p>In my opinion, not much separates the pair in terms of goal threat, with the two key metrics: big chances and xG tallies almost identical. However, Foden does look more of an explosive asset, with nearly double the shots per start &#8211; although he&#8217;ll have to get his shooting boots on.</p>

<h2><strong>Bernardo vs Foden | </strong><strong>Creativity</strong></h2>
<div id="attachment_41152" style="width: 253px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-41152" class="wp-image-41152 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screenshot-246.jpg" alt="" width="243" height="172" /><p id="caption-attachment-41152" class="wp-caption-text">Creativity &#8211; Foden top, Bernardo bottom</p></div>
<p>According to our <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/">OPTA Stats Tool</a>, Foden is justifying his extra cost with his creativity; creating over double the amount of big chances as Bernardo, and virtually doubling his xA tally per start.</p>
<p>Foden is only beaten by Trent Alexander-Arnold for big chances created per start so far this season, also recording the third highest xA per start.</p>
<p>This data suggests that Foden is about twice as likely to assist as Bernardo, and with a xA of 0.36, that works out as an extra assist about every six games &#8211; only a marginal amount.</p>

<h2><strong>Bernardo vs Son | </strong><strong>Points Prediction</strong></h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-41154 size-full aligncenter" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screenshot-248.jpg" alt="" width="1270" height="448" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screenshot-248.jpg 1270w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screenshot-248-300x106.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screenshot-248-1024x361.jpg 1024w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screenshot-248-768x271.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screenshot-248-610x215.jpg 610w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screenshot-248-1080x381.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1270px) 100vw, 1270px" /></p>
<p>The Hub&#8217;s <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions/">Point Prediction Tool</a> projects Foden to outscore Bernardo in every fixture, despite playing fewer minutes.</p>
<p>I do think Foden is more likely to be rotated across the next six though, and given the recent form of Bernardo and Pep&#8217;s praise of the Portuguese midfielder suggests to me he could be the mainstay in City&#8217;s line-up.</p>

<h2><strong>Bernardo vs Foden | </strong><strong>Conclusion</strong></h2>
<p>In conclusion, I think I prefer <strong>Bernardo</strong> as a pick going into City&#8217;s next few fixtures.</p>
<p>He offers a bit more security in terms of minutes, is boasting excellent big chance <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="1" title="FPL Stats by OPTA - Player and Team Stats">stats</a>, and saves you some cash. Foden is also recovering from recent fitness issues.</p>
<p>That being said, if you have a strong bench and are prepared for Pep&#8217;s inevitable roulette, I couldn&#8217;t argue with you if you went for Foden, given his extra ceiling.</p>
