John Stones
31-Year-Old
Manchester City
Premier
Starts in FA Cup
Stones started and played 65 minutes in Saturday's 2-0 win over Salford City.
ANALYSIS
Stones returned to the starting XI for the first time since Nov. 25 on Saturday, featuring for just over an hour in the game. He would record a clean sheet in his time on the field, notching a tackle won, two interceptions and six clearances. After the longer absence due to his thigh injury, the defender's role at the club has taken a hit, as the addition of Marc Guehi will limit him even more, especially since Abdukodir Khusanov has started to break into the squad.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Bayern Munich keen on him
Bayern Munich are believed to be interested in Stones, according to Caught Offside.
ANALYSIS
Stones is likely to leave Manchester City in the summer, and there should be plenty of teams interested in his services. The center-back could be wanted by tons of Premier League clubs, but Bayern are also expected to be in the mix. He'd add some solid defensive depth due to his experience at the highest level and versatility to play several positions.
