3) Raheem Sterling (WOL)
Sterling was left out of the starting lineup but came off the bench midweek in the Champions League to provide a goal and assist. He’s now scored in each of his last three appearances in all competitions, since he was rested in the 8-0 rout over Watford in gameweek six. No midfielder has scored more than his six goals this season, while only Abraham, Aubameyang (each seven) and Agüero (eight) have scored more across all positions.
An average of 3.3 shots inside the box (SiB) per game ranks the England international first amongst all players, while only Agüero (1.57) has been afforded more than his 1.5 ‘big chances’ per game. Man. City top all the attacking metrics - goals (27), shots (150), SiB (108), shots on target (SoT) (58) and ‘‘big chances’’ 35. His midweek rest means that he is very likely to start against Wolves and given that Liverpool have a more difficult fixture, he is the standout captain pick this week.
