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.

      Wesley is a left sided centre back. Yoshi was always going to be the fall guy.

          better defender than Yoshida.
          Yoshida is a "sexier" FPL option because of his goal threat.

    So... I did Jesus to Laca. 1st move that backfires... of the season if Laca doesn't score points equivalent to Jesus'.

    I had Jesus and KDB but sold KDB for Salah who was dragged off at half time with Jesus off not long afterwards. FML.

        Of course not. But he did get dragged off at 57. In any given fixture he may not score 2 and still get dragged off at 57 or may not even start. Pep rotates too much. I think I am going to get rid of him.
