Jérémy Doku scored 17 points in the match: why he became key for Manchester City.

According to The Sun: In the match that took place on Saturday, DREAM TEAM managers eagerly awaited activity from Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola's team drew 1-1 with Burnley in the 60th minute but later crushed their opponent 5-1 when the 'claret' collapsed in the closing minutes of the game at the Etihad.

Erling Haaland (£7.7m) was once again in the spotlight with 21 points after scoring two beautiful goals. Jérémy Doku (£4m) also deserves a mention.

This speedy winger consistently threatened the opponent's goal, and although Martin Dubravka (£2m) stopped him, the Belgian earned 17 points thanks to two assists.

Sean Longstaff from Leeds United (£2.7m) became the only midfielder who scored more points during the 6th round at the time of writing this article.

Those who were at the Etihad on Saturday won't be surprised that Doku earned maximum points, executing eight successful dribbles — he circled his former teammate Kyle Walker (£2.3m) several times.

The 23-year-old player is indeed one of the best dribblers in world football, using his low center of gravity and outstanding acceleration over the first five meters.

He has had 22 touches in the opponent's penalty area — a significant statistic for a player in his position.

It’s no wonder that Dream Team managers are paying attention to him: midfielders occupying such threatening positions are always of interest.

Doku's main criticism has been that his output often didn't match his level of play in the past, but this season he has significantly improved his numbers.

He currently has one goal and four assists in seven matches.

This means he is involved in a goal every 88.8 minutes — how do you like that scoring rate?

Since becoming a regular player in the 4th round, Doku has amassed 44 points over four matches.

This fine form has propelled him to fifth place in the ranking of midfielders with a total of 48 points.

Importantly, he will have another opportunity to add to his tally this week if selected for the match against Monaco in the Champions League on Wednesday evening.

Many managers have already noticed his potential, as Doku is the most purchased player ahead of the 7th round, although the deadline is still a few days away.

Currently, his popularity has risen to 10.8%, and if no availability issues arise, that figure may continue to grow.

The 7th round involves an away game against Brentford, followed by matches against Everton and Villarreal in the 8th round after the international break.

In recent matches, Jérémy Doku has shown impressive progress, earning points for his managers in DREAM TEAM. He has established himself as one of the key players for Manchester City, and fans are looking forward to new achievements during the Champions League matches and after the international break. During the final games of the season, his performances could impact the Dream Team players' results.
