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.

    What's the story with kdb ? Is he paying more forward ? Thanks ๐Ÿ™‚

    1. ChelseaGuy

      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Yes..very

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Is it because of someone s injury ? Thanks

    2. FPL_Sponge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Yes and looks good

    3. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      He's dead to me

    4. The Hobbit
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      11 vs 10 sure, he plays more forward.

      At the beginning he looked simmilar like first 3 ganes

        Thanks a lot that's useful information ๐Ÿ™‚

    5. Odikostar
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Yup, no sane or Sterling means more room for him on the flanks

  2. glufs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Clattenburg says its a yellow

    1. Scout Pics
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      So do Liverpool fans and Mané owners.

  3. Jimmy Boy
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Mane-less Liverpool could have a real knock-on effect. Firmino's returns are likely to suffer imo

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

      Coutinhos not a bad replacement to be fair.

    2. FPL_Sponge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Tell me about...

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

      Yupp..Mane huge part of that team
      Last year AFCON Pool shambles

  4. JJJ
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    chances of the red card being overturned?
    before I unload Mane want to double check

    thanks

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

      No chance

    2. FPL_Sponge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Nope 3 match ban at least

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Lol

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

      He'll get 1 match minimum.

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

        Straight red is 3 matches minimum.

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

      No point getting rid of him until a price drop is imminent so hold off until you have to

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

        really ? keep 9.6m on the bench?

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

          But you don't know if is overturned yet, that was the question? If he doesn't get banned he won't be on your bench

    5. InSaneMan-e
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I post about this earlier. Look at the replays. I can't see it overturned. Even with eyes on the ball dangerous play is dangerous play. How many reds do we see where the player as eyes for the ball, But it's still a red. Same here

    6. BrutalLogiC
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      he might have to appeal against 3 game ban but no chance it's removed entirely! nil!

    7. Frozen flying mammoth
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Haha only chance is that Mane rips off his face and it's Arya Stark or the faceless man underneith and they find Mane tied up in a Ford Fiesta in a ground parking space.

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

    No brainer?
    Mane > Eriksen

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

      Yes

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

    If you puch a player while keeping your eye on the ball it's not a red card right?

    Liverpool fans logic

    1. Seb Wassell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Don't be silly.

    2. glufs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Clattenburg says yellow

    3. Shirokov(c)
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      No one punches a player by going for a ball.

      Flawed logic, next.

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          8 years, 8 months ago

          And nobody should have their foot that high challenging for a ball, he didn't mean to hurt him but he misjudged it and it was reckless. Red

      2. 824545201
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        I mean he can pull out a shiv and gut him in the stomach, totally legal and fair as long as he is looking away.

      3. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        That is deliberate intent though. That is where football has gone wrong IMO. I am not a Liverpool supporter, but the authorities want football to be a non-contact sport.

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            8 years, 8 months ago

            No, they want things like what happened today to not happen

        2. What if you pull out a handgun while looking the other way?

        3. Nascimento
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Not as bad as what Nani what sent off for against Real Madrid about 10 years ago and they're fans are still crying a bout it on a daily basis tbf.

        4. BrutalLogiC
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          poor analogy but ok

        5. Fanta sea
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          They'd probably say that the De Jong challenge on Alonso was acceptable because De Jong was watching the flight of the ball.

          Also Mane knew Ederson would be there otherwise he's not trying to reach the ball that high. He clearly wanted to beat Ederson to it and he failed. High risk, High reward.

        6. Forza
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          I'm a City fan, and even I don't think it was a red.

      4. Shirokov(c)
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Only thing I'm really disappointed about is that this match is over as a contest

      5. Fanta sea
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Gary Neville clearly has Mane in his Fantasy team. He's starting to lash out at Jonathan Moss.

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

          failed manager anger coming out

      6. cjhewitt92
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        What 3 Forwards to go for from

        Kane
        Morarta
        Jesus
        Lukaku

      7. alfast1c
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Mane suspended till 01 oct. thats only 2 games.

        1. + Caravan Cup game

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

          One in the cup

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

          3 games

        4. cjhewitt92
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          I think League cup game count as third

        5. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Straight red is generally 3 games but they can appeal no intent. Don't see it changing though

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

          Cup game

        7. The Hobbit
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          And 1 cup gane

        8. Partner
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          kdb 2 assist"?

      8. Davidinho
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Blatant red card. This coming from someone who took out Jesus + KDB on wildcard and brought Mane in.

      9. FPL_JAAFAR
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Ozil hard to resist now

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

          Really?

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

          Lol

        3. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Said no one ever

        4. If you have a boggly eye fetish

      10. jaguar shark
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        So, Salah price rise? Or will people jump to Coutinho??

      11. Boss Hogg
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        So my wildcard is working out nicely so far.

        Sold Jesus and KDB.
        Kept Mane

        Maybe 20 or so points in th bin.
        -2 points in the bag.

        Excellent.

        1. RubeRx
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Well played

      12. The Cherry Picker
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Did anyone on here captain Sadio?

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

          Hopefully

      13. Give The Todd Some Love
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Oh

        Just realised I forgot to do my team

        Ffs

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

          Might have worked out in the end

      14. Dacra
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Why is Danilo playing? Is he likely to keep his place?

        Benched him, was gonna sell him and likely Willian, now Mane is more of a priority..

        1. The Hobbit
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Kompany injury

        2. InSaneMan-e
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          I think he played because pep didn't trust a back 4 with stones and otamendi as cb vs this Liverpool
          Against weaker opposition he'll go back to back 4 with danilo replaced

      15. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        It doesn't need to be a deliberate foul for a red card.

        Reckless and likely to cause injury is enough.

        A ninja flying studs out challenge for a ball 6 foot in the air next to someone's head ? Smells of a red to me

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

        A Kyle Walker cleanie will be the icing on trhe cake here!

      17. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Could well score further in this match, and likely will... but I still wouldn't want to have had KdB for two assists in 3.5 games at £10m.

        The only people who should be gloating are those who have him but didn't start with him, imo.

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Was bound to haul sooner or later and anyone who bought him at a lower price with the Liverpool defence in mind ... genius

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

          Or those who captained him for his (first) haul.

      18. Bushido
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Mane owners are you holding or will you take the price drop?

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

          Not gonna be just one drop I'm afraid.

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

          How long will he be out?

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

          Probably letting him go for a while now I think.

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

            Maybe get KDB back

            1. marcus2704
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 8 months ago

              Will probably go Mane to Alli

      19. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        FWIW the stats said KdB would always come good. He's created loads of chances in his 'barren' spell and had an assist denied by ref on Jesus goal in previous game.

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

        Wildcard active if Stephens & Yoshi don't start

        Triple price rise incoming for mid who scores big this GW with everyone doing Mane > bandwagon?

        1. Boss Hogg
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Agreed.
          If Ozil scores 10+ there will be an almighty banden-wagon

      22. Loðbrók
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Mark Clattenburg said on Norwgian televition its a yellow

      23. camarozz
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        I for one ,aftr watching every city game so far wasn't expecting anything from KDB so sold for Ericksen whom in my opinion is a superior player to KDB.

        Do u believe me

      24. Desperately Seeking Dusan
        • 14 Years

        What are the odds this weeks pod tells us how we need to get KDB in because something has changed?

      25. Ayew Holding Mee Cork
        • 10 Years

        Happy to see Jesus reward his owners 2 goals + 3/4BPS after the price drop.

      26. Bialystrzelec
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Keeping both Jesus and DeBruyne paid of. It could be even better if Jesus wasn't off side.

      27. cjhewitt92

        Kane to Jesus thoughts

        1. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Bad move
