Semenyo (MCI, Midfielder, £7.6m)

Verdict: HOLD

Semenyo is a premium Man City midfielder, fully fit and consistently delivering hauls, making him a strong hold despite a couple of recent blanks.

The Reasoning

Fitness & Availability: Semenyo is fully available and nailed in the Man City starting XI, with no injury concerns or news to report. He's ready to go for Gameweek 22.
Recent Performance: While he's had a mixed bag with a 1-point blank in GW20, Semenyo has still bagged 3 goals and 1 assist in his last five outings, including hauls of 9 and 10 points. His form of 6.2 is testament to his attacking threat.
Upcoming Fixtures: The next three fixtures are a bit of a mixed bag, with tough away trips to Manchester United and Spurs sandwiching a favourable home tie against Wolves. He's a player who can score against anyone, but the away games could be tricky.
Underlying Stats: His ICT Index of 151.4, particularly his high threat score of 611.0, shows he's constantly getting into dangerous positions and is a key part of City's attack. He's not just assisting, he's scoring.

Risks

The primary risk for Semenyo is his high price point at £7.6m, which demands consistent returns. While he seems nailed, Man City's squad depth always carries a slight rotation risk. The upcoming tough away fixtures against Manchester United and Tottenham could also limit his immediate ceiling.

Alternative Options

If you're looking for a similarly priced midfielder with strong attacking potential, consider someone like Bruno Fernandes (£8.5m) if you can stretch the budget, or perhaps a slightly cheaper option like Martinelli (£7.5m) who might have more favourable fixtures in the short term.

The Strategic Play

Semenyo is a premium asset and a season-keeper. Unless a major injury occurs or his form drastically dips over several gameweeks, he's a strong hold. Don't be tempted to sell after a blank; his underlying stats and role in a top team mean the hauls will keep coming. Only consider moving him if you need significant funds elsewhere or if a double gameweek offers an unmissable opportunity with a differential.
