Rico Lewis
21-Year-Old
Manchester City
Premier
Starts, earns assist
Lewis assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Tuesday's 2-0 win versus Villarreal.
ANALYSIS
Lewis was finally back in the starting XI after some time appearing from the bench, his first start since Aug. 23, the second game of the campaign. He would see some decent work in his 73 minutes of work, recording an assist in the 17th minute when he found Erling Haaland, Lewis' second assist and goal contribution of the season between UCL and league play. He did earn his start in the middle of the field and will hope this can lead to more time moving forward, although his best chances for time remain at right-back unless injuries become a problem in the midfield.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could change teams soon
Manchester City could entertain the transfer of Lewis to bolster the team's transfer funds for January, according to Football Insider.
ANALYSIS
Lewis was expected to be a regular starter for Manchester City this season, but the emergence of Nico O'Reilly as a reliable option on the left side of the defense has limited Lewis' playing time considerably. Lewis would be open to leaving Manchester City if that means playing regularly. He's keen on doing that in order to make the England squad ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
