A pen, the 4th goal in a 4-0 win over the worst team in the league and the only goal in two 3-1 defeats.

Fair play to him for scoring them but surely you understand why players who score decisive goals - match winners, goals that kill the game off, equalisers, goals that come against the run of play and kill the opposition's momentum, etc. - are going to be rated higher than a player who's goals (recently) have essentially been footnotes?

And like the other person said, if you go back before those 5 games his output drops quite considerably. I'm not saying he doesn't deserve to be on the Toty or that he's not had a brilliant season, but these teams are almost always biased towards players who turned up in January, February, March when teams play a lot of fixtures and more or less set the stage for the run in. Gundogan gets into these teams because he was scoring decisive goals din the time where City pulled away from United. If things like that didn't matter then almost everyone would have Salah and Son as their wingers in this team.
