The Dugout Discussion – Manchester City vs Liverpool

A busy Sunday comes to its conclusion at the Etihad now as Manchester City and Liverpool go head-to-head at 4.30pm.

Two of the top eight captains for Gameweek 29 take to the pitch now, with Sergio Aguero and Sadio Mane handed the armband by 8.33% and 2.12% respectively.

Owned by 21.6% of FPL managers, the Argentinian has found the net just twice in his last ten Gameweek appearances but history is on his side, having scored in all four of his home league appearances against the Merseysiders.

Both Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane boast far better form than the South American as Pep Guardiola’s side look to recover from their midweek Champions League exit in Monaco.

The former has produced returns in nine of his last 11 league outings, while Sane has finally settled after a frustrating first few months after arriving from Schalke last summer – the German wide man has racked up six goals and four assists in his last 11 starts across all competitions.

Residing in over 23% of squads, Mane has delivered double-figures against Spurs and Arsenal in the last four Gameweeks to emerge as Liverpool’s most reliable FPL performer.

Sold by over 118,000 FPL managers last week, Roberto Firmino recovers from a minor groin problem to return to the Reds’ XI.

    Listening on the radio, haven't heard Aguero mentioned once. True story?

      Probably. I can't see why you'd lie.

    How are them Live Coutinho stats looking?

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Coutinho's playing??

    2. Numb
      • 9 Years

      Not noticed him tbh

    3. Business Cat

      2bps at the minute 😎

      Unlikely to last 🙁

    Savage just made a good point. No really. Oliver could not WAIT to send Herrera off. Yet today he's gone to the other extreme. Prat.

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He's reffed this one well so far, and Herrera deserved a 2nd yellow.

    2. Lawrø
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Herrera red was a complete farce

  12. Rainer

    City fans get more pathetic with each passing game.

    1. Bazzalona
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Both of them.

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Boo's for Milner getting louder as more find out he used to play for them.

  13. Tommyg
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Aguero isolated up front and likely to get a knock on and be the assister to the assister at the moment.

  14. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Looks like Klavan will make a mistake

  15. Duffy Dunk
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Otamendi will be dead tired the way this game goes.
    He's always chasing Liverpool's through balls

  16. FER FUSCH AKE

    0-0 draw written all over this

  17. Lizard Lips
    • 11 Years

    super scrappy game this

  18. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Oliver is lost

  19. Lizard Lips
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    coutinho awful purchase 🙁

  20. nkhoughton

    Any update on Gabbiadini?

    1. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Probably hasn't even arrived at the scanner yet.

  21. Duffy Dunk

    Coutinho practicing

  22. Rainer

  23. Sim Simma

  24. Sailboats

    shocking game

  25. fedolefan
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Come on Coutinho! Need to score there boy.

  26. Dimen
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Coutinho doing the only thing he knows how. Why the hell did I get this guy in my team.

    1. Dimen
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      goalkeeper can just go ahead and hug the far post when Coutinho gets the ball.

    2. KingNidge
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Cause quite often they fly into the top corner

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        He's no Lingard.

  27. FALCAO & MOU
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Is Aguero still on the pitch?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Didn't start

  28. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Aguero 😥

  29. Differentiator

    Mane is useless at crosses. Just whips it in and hoping someone is there. When 99% of the time there isn't.

    Lacks IQ

    1. fedolefan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      If Adama Traore ever learnt how to finish, him and Mane would be two of the most similar players ever.
