Manchester City v Wolverhampton Wanderers - Premier League

#1 – Eliaquim Mangala

Manchester City v Bristol City - Carabao Cup Semi-Final: First Leg

Yes, Eliaquim Mangala is still at Manchester City. The French defender has not played a single game this season and Pep Guardiola doesn't look like he will be taking any chances with him.

The former FC Porto defender was once rated very highly at Etihad but has fallen down the pecking order real quick. He went on loan to Everton at the start of 2018 but even there he only managed to make two appearances Before heading back to Etihad.

Mangala is rated at just 77 in FIFA 19 but looking at the other players rated similarly, EA will have to do a lot to justify that rating. He might now end up being the first Manchester City player ever to get a push from gold to a silver card in the history of FIFA.
