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.

    Laca starts!

  2. AC Tomasso
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Switched KDB to Silva wahhh

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

    Yoshida benched

  4. TheBusDriver

    Playing 1 to 60 minutes 3 BPS
    Playing over 60 minutes 6 BPS

    Does this mean Jesus gets 3 and Aguero 9?

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

      or Jesus 3 and Aguero 6?

      1. VS10_
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        This, I thought.

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

        Surely this

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

      Same as yellow card -1 and red -3, not -1 + -3

  5. Sánchez
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    How many "Player starts" can we get without actual lineups

    1. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Demi wouldn't have teased us in instalments like this

      1. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Whatever happen to Demi?

  6. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Rambo, Morata, Berty, Forster, Hegazi - let's be 'avin ya!

  7. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Sanchez in for Welbeck and that's a finally decent lineup.

  8. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Sanchez, Yoshi, Tadic fail

  9. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Yoshi benched! Tripps on thin ice! Gabbi on this ice! Mane suspended! Wild card time 🙂

  10. denial
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Willian benched?

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

      Yup

  11. Mark-O
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Otamendi CS locked

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

    Time to scrap Team News?

    1. Seanigula
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      None of these benchings were a complete surprise

  13. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    What is that Chelsea lineup? Is Fabregas Left forward? Otherwise it's a change of formation... Can't see Kante or Bakayoko being forwards...

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I think it's a 352 with Pedro and Morata up top...

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

      Alonso provides plenty of width to be fair
      As does Moses

  14. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    I think I am going to sell Jesus for somebody who isn't in a team that rotates as much. Morata or Lacazette may be good alternatives.

    1. Giorgi89
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      He scored twice in is BPS leader... 12points potentiel in 57min. I will keep for now

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        I am not. I will get 11-12 points out of him. However, in any other week, he may not have scored 2 and then get dragged off at 57 OR not even start the match at all. Pep rotates too much.

    Eurosport has Southampton starting with 10 players, gone for 4-2-2-1. Interesting tactic

      1. Rhodes your boat
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

  16. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    I love Mendy 😆

    1. Marcos Alonso is god
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I think he looks rubbish

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Couldn't disagree more

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

        I thought the same.

  17. Siggy in the Middle
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Yoshida will have to go. Probably for Alonso.

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Not a bad replacement

  18. Hect.OR 98th
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Even though I got Salah and Firmino on my WC, I also got rid of Mane, Yoshida, Willian and...KDB. Hmm.

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

    KDB second most transferred in this week apparently...surprised after all the chat about shifting him out...

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

      It shows this weeks already. From 11.30. So obviously.

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

        Ah...

  20. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Mendy looks like a good prospect. Not he best defender but ridiculously attacking, could be gold for FPL

  21. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Why is Sanchez benched?!

    1. Mark-O
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      That guy

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

      Because he hates Arsenal

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

    Imagine if you captained Sanchez as your differential !

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

      FPL Virgin did.

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

        Oops - will never get on the Scoutcast with moves like that 😉

    2. Kaneyonero
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      How about Mane

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

    Yoshida and Willian to Cedric and ?????

    Need a £7.1m player max for the ?????

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

      I will also ditch them this week, Alli and some cheap defender less than 5

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

      Antonio?

  24. Speédy
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Willian ,Yoshida and Salah. What a start !!!!!!!!

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

    Tadic on the bench.... what?

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

      Oh

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

    Tadic benched? WTF............

    1. Prison Mike
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

  27. BobBradleysOpportunity
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    willian to antonio for a hit at the last minute....thank goodness, until wilian scores from the bench anyway

  28. Ben the Mee
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Mendy making himself essential

    • fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      No Jagielka. Damn, I was going to transfer him in soon.

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

        Keane's the man

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

          Didn't think I had cash to get him.

    • Davido989
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Always hard to watch the rest of a footy game knowing you're going to lose.

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        City pessimism is being nervous because Mangala and Bravo are playing
