Rayan Cherki FPL for GW3: Still Buy After Man City's Deadline-Day Signings?

The short answer

Still BUY/HOLD — but with more rotation risk than before deadline day.

Cherki has:

• two GW1 assists
• two GW2 goals
• Coventry at home in GW3
• a new £7.7m price

The upside remains elite.

The change is City's depth.

What deadline day changed

City have added:

• Iliman Ndiaye
• Enzo Fernández
• Allan Elias
• additional midfield depth

That gives Maresca more ways to rotate the supporting attack.

Should you still buy?

Yes if:

• you can make the move for free,
• you are comfortable with rotation,
• the rest of your squad can absorb a benching.

Wait if:

• you need guaranteed 90-minute security,
• the transfer requires a hit.
