Bernardo Silva
31-Year-Old
Manchester City
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Silva has often been in rumors to leave City, but his versatility and overall health continue to be important for Pep Guardiola, starting 29 of 33 league appearances last season en route to four goals and four assists. However, with him seeing more time centrally and defensively instead of his normal attacking roles, his eight goal contributions were his worst in a season since joining the club in 2017. This is a bit of a worry entering the season considering the bevy of attacking options at City's disposal. Then again, Silva can play anywhere and technically he can also produce from anywhere. Yet, at 31 years old to open the season, his numbers will start to drop at some point, no matter how important he's been for Guardiola.
Scores in comeback victory
Silva scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Liverpool. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 97th minute.
ANALYSIS
Silva scored a crucial goal Sunday, a strike in the 84th minute assisted by Erling Haaland which tied the match at 1-1. It marked his fifth goal contribution of the season, three of which have come in his last three appearances. He's come alive as of late after a slow start to the season, and he'll need to continue to play well in order for his side to have a chance to chase down Arsenal for the Premier League crown.

Big doubt against Liverpool
Silva (hamstring) is a big doubt for Sunday's clash against Liverpool, coach Pep Guardiola said in a press conference, according to BeanymanSports. "Yesterday he said to me 'I feel quite good. I want to try'. But I don't know. It's in a position less dangerous than the hamstring, another type of muscle in the hamstring position. But we'll see in the next days. 'Could be OK' is not the words. He's an incredible doubt. He will try, I think so, knowing him, he will try. But right now, I don't know."
