Dugout Discussion – Man City vs Liverpool

2,700 Comments
Share

Gameweek 4 gets underway with the showpiece fixture as Manchester City host Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium.

From a Fantasy perspective, the focus will clearly be on the attacking players.

City’s strikers head into the contest with impressive statistics to back them up. Sergio Aguero has scored in each of his five home meetings with Liverpool since arriving in the Premier League. As for Gabriel Jesus, he has been involved in 12 goals in his 11 starts, scoring eight and providing four assists.

But they will face a super confident Liverpool, boasting their own in-form “forward”. Roberto Firmino is the most bought asset over the international break, having found his way into 374,000+ squads since the Gameweek 3 deadline. The Brazilian has scored two goals and earned two assists in his four appearances against City.

Then we have the twin threats of Sadio Mane and Mo Salah – when they’ve started this season, they’ve scored, with five goals between them so far.

Salah is backed by over 238,000 new owners ahead of today’s encounter, only Henrikh Mkhitaryan (241,000+) saw more traffic among FPL midfielders since Gameweek 3.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      its cuz of fans like you manutd fans are ridiculed. Remember 6-2 loss to Mancity? Everyone has their time. What matters is trophies and success. Mock other clubs with that rather than such jibes.

    Called Willian and Yoshida being 'rested'. Both looked set to lose their places imminently and had long flights back after the international break.

    Glad I benched Willian to play 5 at the back.

        Shame about the first 35 minutes when it was 11v11 but we can pretend that didn't happen! Very impressive from that point onwards though, really put them to the sword.

        Aguero goal couldn't have been more against the run of play.

        Still not convinced by KDB, Jesus on the other hand though....

          A bit worrying that Jesus is always subbed early.

        If Kane flops against Everton, the Lukaku(C) brigade will clean up this week.
