Manchester United 0-1 Manchester City: FPL Lessons — Haaland Scores, Foden Sees Red & Gvardiol Assists

The short answer

Manchester City's 1-0 derby win created four major FPL stories:

• Haaland scored the winner.
• Gvardiol assisted.
• Foden was sent off in the 23rd minute for violent conduct.
• Donnarumma kept a clean sheet.

Haaland

He now goes from Manchester United away to Sunderland at home in GW5.

Verdict: HOLD / BUY if the structure works. Leading early GW5 captain.

Gvardiol

Assist + clean sheet, then a rise to £5.7m on 14 September.

Verdict: BUYABLE.

Foden

A straight red for violent conduct creates a domestic suspension. Premier League red-card bans carry across the EFL Cup and FA Cup. Violent conduct normally means three matches, but confirm the official disciplinary listing before locking an exact return date.

Verdict: SELL / AVOID.

Manchester United

United failed to score despite playing against 10 men for most of the match. Bruno remains their safest FPL asset by role.
