Sky Sports is back with the weekly Fantasy Premier League column, bringing you essential tips from the best managers in the world.

FPL experts Lee from FPL Family and Gianni Buttice answer the burning questions ahead of Friday's 6.30pm deadline for Gameweek 3...

Lee from FPL Family: Ruben Dias (£5.5m) looks the most nailed-on for minutes in that City defence, but I noticed Kyle Walker (£5.1m) getting forward into those attacking areas that we love our FPL assets to be in against Newcastle.

Walker's also slightly cheaper than Dias, but just make sure that you have reasonable bench cover if Pep decides to rest or rotate the Englishman, particularly with European football on the horizon.

Gianni Buttice: This is the best defence in the league and covering their backline makes a lot of sense despite the low upside their defenders offer in terms of goal threat.

In the first two Gameweeks, Man City are the only team to concede less than one xG (0.66) which is why I have transferred Josko Gvardiol (£5m) in. Dias arguably offers a higher minutes guarantee than all other City defenders but you have to find an extra 0.5 for him.

Lee from FPL Family: Marcus Rashford's (£9m) positioning through the centre means he's playing a lot of the game with his back to goal, rather than out on the left running at defenders — which is what he loves doing.
