Dugout Discussion – Man City vs Liverpool

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.

    Not really hard to decide: By raising his foot in a desperate attempt to play the ball 'anywhere', did Mane slam his studs in the face of a 6 foot 2 opponent who had beaten him to the ball safely with his head?

      Could you have lead that question any more? Could just as easily read:

      With his eyes constantly following the ball he raised his boot to control the ball completely unaware that the goalkeeper had come charging out of his box and dived head-first at the ball.

      At least try not to be biased.

    oh my days, KDB is killing me after transferring him out this morning for Mkhitaryan, 2 assists, probably end up with cs point and 3bps and wouldn't be surprised if he gets another assist or goal at this rate...

      If he plays in an attacking role, like he is today, yes. But he was playing way too deep in the first 3 GWs so it was the still right decision to sell him imo.
