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.

      How can you tell it's time to activate wildcard yet? This game isn't useful at all given that it's been 11v10 for most of the game.

        If you have Tadic, Mane, Yoshida, Willian then you would be saying this....

        I only have Tadic and Willian of them and am annoyed, not enough for a WC though

        Looks like a Yoshida and Tadic isnt in first XI.
        Have to get Mane and Hunemeier out.
        Or just take hit -8.
        Going to wait anyway till monday evening.

    Thinking that’s Salah May actually be the best Willian replacement for me.

    No need to worry about a price rise this week, so can bring him in on Friday afternoon 🙂

          Obviously, he isn't going to play. There is always a high risk the replacements they made may get RC or injuries or benching.

          Not a wise move by them at all.
