Lincoln City’s shock FA Cup win over Burnley has handed Fantasy managers an extra match to plan for ahead of Gameweek 28, with the Clarets’ visit to Liverpool now guaranteed.

One of only eight sides set to offer us a fixture in each of the next three Gameweeks, Jurgen Klopp’s men also face a favourable trip to Leicester City next Monday evening.

With the Alexis Sanchez exodus in full flow after Arsenal clinched a spot in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Monday night, thus depriving the Gunners of matches in Gameweek 26 and 28, we put the Merseysiders midfield options under the microscope.

First up, we’ll look at how Klopp’s attack is performing when compared with both the rest of the top-flight and their own season averages.

We then monitor the displays of their midfielders over each players’ respective last six matches, looking for signs of form at a time when many are turning to Sadio Mane on the back of his two-goal haul against Spurs last time out.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Loaded question: If English teams with foreign managers and predominantly foreign players are constantly being zonked/outplayed by foreign teams, what does that tell us about the debilitating league program of the EPL?

    Amazing game, so entertaining

    Dragovic just isn't up to this level.

      Jonathan Tah won't be at Leverkusen too long 😉

    Shouse have put my house on it being over 3.5 goals in this match when we were about 10 minutes in. Most open game ever

    Shame that Falcao couldn't really do it in the Prem. Terrific player.

    1. Camp No No

      Yeah, too bad he can't score against PL clubs.

      Probably more about his bad injury.

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 11 days ago

        And the bad manager

      2. Camp No No

        ^this was obvious already back then. Takes about 2 years to come back from an ACL tear, doesn't it? And lo and behold…

    3. Yome
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Coming back after such serious injury and now scoring for fun at his age, such a beautiful story

    I was seriously considering Stones on my WC team in gw 30. Changed my mind. Need to look at United assets or elsewhere.

    gah this is a nightmare..............3 spurs players, 1 arse, 2 che, 2 boro, 2 stk, 1 sun 🙁 🙁
    will want all spurs back straight after too.......be lucky if i can field 8 with a -12

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

      GW28 will be ultra low scoring, you'll only miss out on 6 or 8 points at the end of the day, not worth major surgery over imo

        Buggu'd. 🙂

        cheers mystic meg
        there is an opportunity to gain over rivals tho, and that shouldnt be ignored

      3. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 11 days ago

        I just love it if GW28 gets ultra high scoring for those who actually have players in it.

        1. Pasqualinho
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 11 days ago

          Well, it can't for players who don't. That is certain.

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      In GW28? Who cares. I dont see why everyones so bothered about loading up on a load of guff players from the likes of Hull just so they have people playing

      1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 11 days ago

        im not going to load up with guff, but ill need something as even some guff is better than no players

    What the f is wrong with city's defence

    1. Ruth_NZ
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Guardiola:

      "I am not a coach for the tackles so I don't train the tackles. What I want is to try and play good and score goals. In the end we're not going to win or lose for the tackles."

      “I love the midfield players. I try to convince them (the players) we defend better when our strikers are more aggressive than our defenders. And we play good when our defenders play like midfield players."

      I guess he's getting what he wants. 😕

    Tell me again why did they sack Pellegrini?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee

      Got sick of polishing trophies

  13. Patio Kev

    Don't discount Man City from having a fixture and playing in GW28.

    Huddersfield Town have a good chance against this defence in the FA Cup replay.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      Stones triple c

      does anyone still have Man City players in their team?

    what was the price pep paid for stones again?

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years

      His job

      1. Athletic Bilbo
        • 9 Years

        And credibility

    2. Conveyancing Reptilian Over…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      I thought Pogba was a bad signing, but £50m for a defender who can't defend...

      1. Ruth_NZ
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 days ago

        This is so unfair. Stones has been hung out to dry at City.

  15. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    Lol, the ref is certainly no homer 😀

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      I think he's got them all correct. Aguero was going down before anything.

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      That wasn't a penalty but the Aguero one certainly was

    3. Pasqualinho
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      I must confess, I see Sterling go down and I'm always doubtful. He really doesn't help himself.

  16. Jigger & Pony
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    lol Sterling diving again

  18. Jigger & Pony

    Aguero essential

  19. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    He's back......................isn't he?

    1. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 days ago

      Still just 3 shots tonight, and it's a home match.

      City is lucky tonight, that's all.

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 11 days ago

        Although there is a chance that Monaco would beat any PL club, so in that sense, this can be a decent performance by City.

  25. WVA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 11 days ago

    Agueroooo

  26. Old Wulfrunian

    Good fun, this.

  28. Pazdannavaro

    Wow. Not a lucky one this time.

    Incredible tekkers

  30. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years

    Wow! If only their defence was 10% as good as their attackers.
