Fantasy Lessons
| Player | What we learned | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| Haaland | Still the first player to check from this match because role and output line up. | Buy/hold |
| Semenyo | Useful, but the next fixture decides whether this is a buy or just a hold. | Hold |
| Foden | Useful, but the next fixture decides whether this is a buy or just a hold. | Hold |
| Bournemouth attackers | Needs another data point before becoming a transfer priority. | Watch |
Demon Verdict
Demon scoreline verdict: Manchester City 3-1 Bournemouth was close enough: City win, Bournemouth annoyance. The result matters, but your next move should still run through projected points, expected minutes and squad structure.
