Notches another elite performance Alvarez scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-1 win over RB Leipzig.

Impact Alvarez once again was the star of a Manchester City win, scoring and assisting a goal in the win. The attacker did all of this in only a couple of minutes on the pitch after appearing as a substitute in the 79th minute. He gained his first contribution in the 84th minute by scoring to take the lead and earned his second when he found Jeremy Doku in the 92nd minute for an additional goal. Alvarez now has 10 goal contributions in all competitions this season and continues to amaze in his new position.

Impact Alvarez sparked what looked to be a comeback for Manchester City when he curved a free kick into the net to equalize the game in the 58th minute. Alvarez now has a goal contribution in all but two of City's eight games this season and looks to be their most clinical player as of right now. Pep Guardiola looks to have worked his magic again as Alvarez looks more comfortable in his new attacking midfielder role than he did at striker, already notching eight goal contributions through eight games after only having 14 all of last season.

Four shots against Nottingham Alvarez recorded four shots (two on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 2-0 victory against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Alvarez had a decent outing in 57 minutes of play, registering one tackle, three crosses and four shots in the win. This was the first time he hasn't bagged a goal contribution in three matches. It was easily the Argentine's least productive game of the season after getting off to a flying start in the first couple of matches, already notching five goal contributions in the Premier League this campaign. He is yet to miss a start in all competitions this season and should remain a starter especially with Kevin De Bruyne out injured until December and multiple other teammates out with small knocks.

Nets brace in win Alvarez scored two goals to go with eight shots (five on goal), seven crosses (four accurate) and 10 corners in Tuesday's 3-1 victory against Red Star Belgrade.

Impact Alvarez bagged a pair of goals in Manchester City's opening group stage match, bagging his first after poking a ball into the net in the 47th minute and then earning his other after Red Star's goalie Omri Glazer missed a punch on a very savable free kick taken by Alvarez. He may have been very lucky with his second goal, but ultimately, he earned it after firing eight shots (five on goal) in the win. He also was productive outside of his goals, notching seven chances created and seven crosses. The Argentinian has started to come on since being moved to attacking midfielder and looks to be one of Manchester City's most important playmakers for this Champions League campaign.

Provides pair of assists in win Alvarez assisted twice to go with two shots (zero on goal), nine crosses (two accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 3-1 win against West Ham United.

Impact Alvarez provided his second and third assists of the season. The first came with a through ball to Jeremy Doku, who then dribbled into the box. However, the second assist of the match was exceptional, featuring a chipped through ball inside the box to Bernardo Silva, who subsequently beat the goalkeeper. The attacking midfielder nearly scored his third goal of the season with a free-kick attempt in the 53rd minute that hit the post. Additionally, he delivered nine crosses and created four chances.

Scores in win Alvarez scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 5-1 victory over Fulham.

Impact Alvarez opened up the scoring after finding the net on a beautiful ball played across the goal by Erling Haaland. Alvarez now has three goal contributions on the season with two goals and one assist. If it weren't for the attackers goal it probably would've been one of his more quiet games, only notching two shots and one cross. He has now started in City's four opening matches and looks to have a secured starting spot in the squad after only getting 13 starts all of last season.

Fills up stat sheet in win Alvarez generated eight shots (three on goal), 12 crosses (two accurate) and nine corners in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Sheffield United.

Impact Alvarez had arguably his most productive match of the season Saturday despite the fact it was his first match without a goal contribution. He set season highs in shots (eight, three on target), crosses (12 crosses, two on target) and corners (nine). Alvarez has played every minute this season so far, and with his early production it's no surprise why.

Scores winner against Newcastle Alvarez scored a goal off his lone shot, created two chances, sent in three inaccurate crosses, drew one foul and was shown a yellow card during Saturday's 1-0 win over Newcastle.

Impact Alvarez was the hero for Manchester City, scoring the only goal of the game with a superb curling shot from the edge of the box after being set up by Phil Foden just after the half-hour mark. He also created some chances for his team-mates, showing his creativity and vision. This was the first goal of the season for the forward, who's positioned to have much more minutes this season with Riyad Mahrez gone.

Picks up assist in win Alvarez assisted once to go with three shots (one on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Friday's 3-0 victory against Burnley.

Impact Alvarez looked great in City's season opener, notching an assist when he found Erling Haaland inside the box for his second goal of the game. Alvarez was bit of a surprise starter after being an understudy to Haaland most of last year, but he thrived from his new starting spot having an exceptional game against Burnley. The 23-year-old contributed three shots, five crosses, six chances created and a tackle to go along with his assist in 90 minutes of work. With the exit of Riyad Mahrez this off season, Alvarez may of found himself a starting spot as a winger or attacking midfielder for Manchester City and could potentially be a fantasy machine in Pep Guardiola's system.

Mostly bench option this season Alvarez arguably produced one of the most successful impact substitute seasons of all time, tallying 17 goals and five assists in 49 appearances across all competitions as Man City...

Impact Alvarez's rookie campaign in England was an unmitigated success despite starting just 13 Premier League matches and no Champions League knockout games. The 23-year-old is unlikely to surpass Erling Haaland in the striker pecking order any time soon, but he also showed plenty of versatility in being able to line up on either wing as well as in midfield. He could become a more regular feature in the XI next season, especially if out-of-contract players Bernardo Silva and Ilkay Gundogan end up moving on from the club this summer.

Takes five shots against Brentford Alvarez took five shots and created a chance in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Brentford in the EPL finale.

Impact Alvarez was very active up front on Sunday but he wasn't able to salvage a result for his side in a big-picture meaningless game to end the Premier League season. He'll likely return to being an impact substitute for the upcoming FA Cup and Champions League Finals.

Makes the difference Sunday Alvarez scored a goal while taking three shots (two on goal), crossing twice inaccurately and creating two chances during Sunday's 1-0 win over Chelsea.

Impact Alvarez found the back of the net in the 12th minute scoring the lone goal of the match to claim all three points. The goal was the ninth in 29 appearances for the forward as Alvarez is a fantasy option anytime he's in the starting XI despite his sporadic playing time.

Impact Alvarez has started each of the club's last four Premier League contests while serving as a bench option in the two UCL semifinal matchups with Real Madrid. As such, it seems likely that Alvarez will be back in the starting XI against Chelsea on Sunday, though he could be rested again for the upcoming mid-week meeting with Brighton on Wednesday.

Scores winner Alvarez scored once from three shots and attempted four crosses (none accurate) in Sunday's 2-1 win against Fulham.

Impact Alvarez scored with a fantastic long range effort and now has eight in 25 appearances (eight starts) this season. He also won the penalty that Erling Haaland converted and created one goal-scoring opportunity. The World Cup winner was playing just behind Haaland in the number 10 role and he will be hard to overlook as a fantasy asset if he can nail down a place in the starting XI.
