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.

    Of course KDB gonna assists 2 after I traded him for Silva yesterday 🙂 🙂 🙂

    1. banskt

      the way he is playing, there is more to come for KdB... 4 goals and KdB going to be involved in all of them.

    Kdb keepers acting like they knew he wouldn't be playing cdm again 🙄

    If u watched him play first 3 games, u wouldn't keep him

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I watch each and every City game and at no point I wanted to sell him.

      Still it is against liverpool. U expecting kdb not to get forward at all and not getting assists for the entire season?

      Silly comment. He's on plenty of set pieces and can assist from well inside his own half. Will grow in to the role as the season goes on as well, timing runs in to the box to score.

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

        He's not playing where he was the first 3 games

    Once Sterling back, KDB will be moved back again!

    HistoryPool fans complaining about the red card LOL. Obviously Mane didn't meat to hit him in the face, but if you go in that high, it has to be a red. 100% correct decision. Not to mention that he was already on a yellow, so he was going to get sent off anyway. Grow up HistoryPool fans.

    1. trinzoo
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      He wasn't on yellow.

      1. TheBusDriver
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        My mistake. My point still stands. Correct decision.

    2. BrutalLogiC
      • 10 Years

      yes it's dumb to debate it, clear red

      Didn't know 10 year olds could be bus drivers.

        Didn't know Liverpool fans are so thick.

          • 15 Years

          I'd suggest claiming he was on a yellow is a bit thick.

        3. Sendmelentils

          I did

        My bad, I already knew that.

      But you wouldn't say anything if it was ur player obviously

      He wasn't on a yellow but I agree about the red

    6. JoJoRed

      Have you ever actually played the game?

  5. Cok3y5murf
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Have to hand it to those who kept KDB even after he called himself a defensive midfielder.

    But admit it, you'll still never captain him 🙂

    1. Touré De Force
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Captained him!

        You remind me of when I play poker and someone goes all in with a 2-8 against my A-A and they win with 2 pair and then think they are really good at poker. You can tell I'm bitter about transfering him out 🙁

    Yesterday I was dreaming that KdB would not fall, and that he would have a decent return.

    The last week I've been feeling insane for backing KdB, but the points speak for themselves. Best captain choice I've had in a while.

      High five bro

      I was totally with you on KDB and ignoring price falls. Until being totally convinced otherwise that I have to have Liverpool coverage. Jeez, maybe Michael Gove is right and experts don't know anything.

  11. Fowler23

    465 pls had transferred mane in

    1. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Only 465?

  12. PocketZola
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    i did kdb to erik and kept mane so i dont feel too bad. It goes to show you cant go against stats, but i dont have the time to change formation and lineup everyweek, mane will still produce at least 150 points over the season, he is a beast.

    1. Regin
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      wat all of u talking? today kdb having a good day, but with eriksen/ alli/ salah/ mane all being cheaper than him, kdb is not worth it. not worth 9.9m.

      1. crazyassbitch
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        agree
        clearly de bruyne is a good player and will score many points.
        but you have cheaper options that are just as good or almost just as good

  13. RubeRx

    Well done to all those who resisted the 2-week temptation to transfer KDB out in order to save a 0.1

    Points > Money

    1. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Depends who you transferred him to doesn't it.

      I sold him for Salah 2 weeks ago and during that time I am currently up on money and points.

  14. Zero Dark 40

    Immediate wildcard. Thanks, ref. Ruined a good game, too.

    1. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Bitter and biased.

    2. banskt
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      No way. that was a definite red. Sky Sports has gone mental.

  15. F4L

    Salah Firmino Mane ➡ Atsu Alli Kane. Sorted.

  16. Desperately Seeking Dusan

    8 years, 8 months ago

    I don't want to go bad on the guys since we all have to take responsibility for our our decisions but FFS, after listening to the pod and articles I felt really compelled into ditching KDB this morning for Liverpool coverage. I've only myself to blame, I never agreed with his "playing deep" suggestion when the heat map shows no evidence of this.

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      He called himself a defensive midfielder

    2. noquarternt
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      'No evidence'

    3. Ramboros
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I literally clipped together heatmaps from the 6 games KdB scored in last year to see the difference from the Bournemouth match. I also compared him to Eriksen's game against Newcastle. He touches the ball a lot more deeper, but he isn't less involved in the final third.

    Much controversy over refs this season so far

  18. A Team Of James McCleans

    Exact quote of me at 12.30 "oh you kept kdb you should probably sell him, having said that he'll probably score now"

    Anyone else started the season with both KDB and Jesus but now got rid of both?

    1. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Yup

    2. Davidinho
      • 10 Years

      Did both on wildcard and got in Mane

  21. @ocprodigy

    I only transferred KDB out because I had two FTs. Vision.
