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.

      Salah hatty followed by Aguero hatty will do.

    Just got in and trying to work out city line up - 3 full backs ? I just sold Danilo for a hit so I'd get 3 defenders out!!

    1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Probably start 352 and move to 433 depending on how we play

  4. FPL Virgin

    0-0 all over this. Two very solid defences according to the stats.

    1. Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      No Kompany though

    2. Think

    4. fishnil
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Yup, one letting 3 in one game and the other conceding to Bournemouth and everton

    Pep on Kun and Jesus:

    1. Podge

    I sold Aguero and own Firmino

    I want Aguero to score 3 and Firmino to blank

    Real football always tops fantasy

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

    2. fishnil
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I own Kun, was contemplating shipping him out there last two weeks. But irrespective of that want Kun to really shine today...

    3. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years

      Get out please.

    4. TheTwelfthMan
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Why not City win 4-3 as Firmino scores a hattrick.

  15. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    So where is Danilo gonna play?

    1. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      In the back 3

  16. Fifa las vegas
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Hopefully mane does well but nobody else does. I'm worried not having one of Jesus or aguero now.

  17. Gigging Order
    • 14 Years

    Anyone else captain Ramsey?

    1. *sigh*
      • 14 Years

      Firmino and Otamendi

  19. Jairzinho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Beating of the chest is way overused on the player intros.

  20. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    C'mon Bobbyyyyyyy

  21. Professor Abel X

  23. Epic Fail
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Nothing more cringeworthy than these profile pictures of the players.

    1. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      What Instagram filter do they use? Is it Hudson or Valencia?

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Oh wow, that is awful ๐Ÿ˜†

    2. Jafooli

      *crosses arms and looks sideways at camera*

  24. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone considering Silva more seriously now?
    Probably my fall back if Pogba or Mkhi start falling off.

    Secondly, how does a hokey-cokey between Laca-Jesus-Morata work out? Similar price point, could be cheeky.

    1. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      My first transfer in for KDB after watching day one.Saved 2 million and he looks to have plenty of assists in him this season.Always on the edge with injuries though.

  25. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    No City or Liverpool watching with the TV turned off ๐Ÿ˜Ž

  26. Scapegoat Salah

    Good luck everyone! Got beer in hand!

  27. Licky

    Come on the REDS.

  28. Jafooli
    • 14 Years

    Blow the final whistle ref, we've seen enough.........

  29. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    Moreno > Alonso

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      And no.

      But if settled, he'd be a great option. Still, we said that 2 years back. Still hurts.

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Probably get Burnley too cause there's no way Klopp can play him vs Sevilla ever again.

  30. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights

    already such aggressive pressing. Going to be a lot of late goals in this one
