Anthony Martial (£7.6m) has come through his pre-match injury doubts to start for Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium.

Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hinted that he wasn’t sure if the Frenchman could feature from the beginning in Gameweek 16 but it looks as if he might have been playing mind-games ahead of such an important match.

Martial’s presence means that Manchester United’s attack is largely at full-strength for their trip across the city, Marcus Rashford (£8.8m) and Daniel James (£6.1m) either side of him.

However, the main Fantasy focus of this match is naturally going to be on the hosts and, thankfully, there are very few shocks and surprises.

Raheem Sterling (£11.9m) and Gabriel Jesus (£9.6m) form two-thirds of the front-three with Bernardo Silva (£7.9m) also included in the starting line-up.

Kevin de Bruyne (£10.3m) and David Silva (£7.6m) are both present in central midfield while Angeliño (£4.7m) gets a second start in a row at left-back.

Manchester City XI: Ederson; Angeliño, Fernandinho, Stones, Walker; de Bruyne, D Silva, Rodrigo; Sterling, Jesus, B Silva.

Manchester United XI: De Gea; Shaw, Maguire, Lindelöf, Wan-Bissaka; Fred, McTominay; Rashford, Lingard, D James; Martial.

    If Mane makes it through the CL unscathed, (c) next week against Watford home? Atleast a benching today should mean a start next week.

      Locked in

      I think only Robbo wud miss Watford

    3. Pinturicchio10

      Probably Salah again for me tbh. Mane vc. But yeah Liverpool attack looks like the right job. Mind you Leicester will probably hammer Norwich.

      1. fantasyfog

        vardy or mane, coin toss

        1. Pinturicchio10
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Can't go wrong with either. I just really like Salah in these types of games. Salah c Mane vc for me most likely.

      Vardy has Norwich though and Tammy Bournemouth. Tough decision

    A) puli - madds - richar - martial - grealish - (keep him)

    They are going to maul Arsenal!

  5. Jafoole_88
    • 11 Years

    This wouldn't have happened had Man City signed Harry Maguire.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Pep wasn't that desperate for a CB.

      1. Jafoole_88
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        No, he's just gagging for a nutsacking now

  6. DycheDycheBaby
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Thinking of doing this for free?
    KDB-->Alli
    Jimi-->Rashford

      same moves here, gonna wait on midweek though

  7. Thunder Warrior

    Why is Sterling so wide?

      Story of his life this season

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Spread the bus, no Mendy.

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Plays on the wing.

    4. Eleven Hag
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      That's why many have got rid of him

    5. Peter Ouch
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Pelvis

    6. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      To pull the fullback wide, which opens up the halfspace for Silva to exploit.

  8. Railwayman
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    I can see City getting a red card today, I only hope it won't be Jesus.

  9. Klip Klopp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    I have exact funds for KDB + Jiminez —> Son + Rashford. Should I do it aft the end of the game?

    1. fantasyfog
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I think it's a good move, just accidentally transferred Kdb out for son so hopefully not a disaster

    2. Am sorry to say again it�…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      No KDB has Arsenal next, Son has wolves, just relax

  10. Am sorry to say again it�…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    People wanna get rid of KDB...are they watching the game?

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      City's best player by a mile.

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Does it matter when he has a bunch of frauds trying to finish off his chances?

    2. JohnBlack
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Dont think so

    3. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Always on the edge of getting an assist or goal. Won’t be leaving my team any time soon! I think people are looking at how deep his position is but he is extremely efficient at getting forward at the right times.

    4. Railwayman
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      He is 10+ mil. and not getting the points for that price. So much mids to choose and cheaper then him. Can't believe people still own KDB massively. Those 2 lucky goals clouded everybody's judgement. Great player, but currently not in FPL form.

  11. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Sterling is overrated isn't he?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Massively, genuinely think the world is insane that someone who loses the ball nearly every time he touched it can be called world class

      1. Maddamotha
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Salah?

    2. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      He might have peaked, possibly suffering from burnout.

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I said a while ago

      He can't take on his man, he either cuts back or passes sideways

      He has exceptional positioning skills in the box and will get tap ins but really apart from that not sure what else he does

    4. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Hes a tap in merchant. Invisible when City struggle

  12. RAFA THE GAFFA

    2. Lacabacca
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I prefer a tight TAA

      1. Legendary!
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

      2. Pompel
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

    3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

    4. Albert_Luque
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      1. Pompel
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Right!

    5. benbro
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Mane
      Alli
      KDB
      Salah / Son?

      1. Pompel
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Salah would be stretching budget to far 🙂

  15. Plagued by indecision
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Sold Martial. For goodness sake

    1. Fudgy
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Same mate, and I'm probably bringing him straight back :/

    2. Regin
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Me too. But for alli. So far like for like.

      1. JIMMY TUGGINS
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        I did the same move, tbh I would've probably benched Martial for Soy as well with the injury doubts.

    3. Plagued by indecision
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Well it was to facilitate getting a better striker next week.

  16. Rainer
    • 9 Years

  17. fantasyfog
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

  18. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    3. DandyDon

  19. Brosstan
    • 11 Years

  23. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

  24. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    1. Ask Yourself

  29. Eat my goal!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    No way that’s a pen

    1. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Amazed so many are saying otherwise

  30. SomeoneKnows
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Which you rather do?
    A) KDB > Son
    B) Pulisic > Alli (-4)

    * I've got 0.8 value rise from KDB and only 0.1 value rise from Pulisic

    1. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      B definitely. Can’t bring KDB back after losing that value!
