Savinho considered as City return to form
Since the last round of Premier League matches, West Ham United and Everton parted company with head coaches Julen Lopetegui and Sean Dyche respectively.
Fantasy managers have some interesting choices with matches coming thick and fast and Manchester City winger Savinho is showing his worth in recent times. The Brazilian has five contributions in his last two games (one goal and four assists).
Keep in mind the new “assistant manager” bargaining chip launches in Gameweek 24. Each player can use this chip once a season, with any additional use costing a free transfer or a deduction of four points if no free transfer is available.
