Foden starts for Man City as Guardiola benches Mahrez

Fantasy managers will get another look at Phil Foden‘s (£5.2m) credentials as he prepares to start against Liverpool in Gameweek 32+.

Interest in the Manchester City midfielder has abounded since the Premier League’s restart and that is sure to increase after making his second start since Gameweek 30+.

The last time he featured from the beginning, Foden backed himself a brace so the fact that Manchester City’s team-sheet appears to have deployed him on the flanks of the front-three is very exciting indeed.

He is joined there by Raheem Sterling (£11.7m) and Gabriel Jesus (£9.6m), while Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m) must make do with a place on the bench.

Unsurprisingly, this season’s Fantasy darling Kevin De Bruyne (£10.7m) starts once again, while Eric Garcia (£4.5m) returns to the back-four.

Predictably, there are fewer shocks in the Liverpool line-up than Pep Guardiola’s.

Mohamed Salah (£12.6m) and Sadio Mané (£12.5m) flank Roberto Firmino (£9.5m) in attack while Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.8m) and Andrew Robertson (£7.0m) offer their usual threat from the full-back positions.

Manchester City XI: Ederson; Mendy, Laporte, Garcia, Walker; Rodrigo, Gundogan, De Bruyne; Sterling, Jesus, Foden.

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Robertson, van Dijk, Gomez, Alexander-Arnold; Fabinho, Henderson, Wijnaldum; Mané, Firmino, Salah.

    Coincidence that city have gone downhill since pep decided Bernardo isn’t good enough anymore?

      City have gone downhill because they didn't get a replacement for Kompany.

      Have City become less potent in attack without Bernardo? Think Mahrez has done a good job in his place.

    Salah. The GW that keeps on giving

    City need a good backup striker for Aguero like Sturridge

      Ings would be good for them

      Problem is not many players good enough would be happy sitting on the bench most games

    With is Pep doing? High backline with almost no pressure against Liverpool is suicide...

    Anyone tempted by Ings as a DCL replacement? Form over fixture. City look shacky too

      Yes but after 1 more week

    2. Magic Zico

      Either him Pulisic or Gomez in is my transfer this week

    3. Hulk Smash

      Makes sense to me. Ings has a real chance at the golden boot which people here seem to think is important.

    A pen vs West Ham & a goal against the hopeless Bournemouth.

    Salah just doesn’t do away days.

      Mané much more dangerous. Salah owner

    Every season there's some dead teams in the top 5I. Anyone with some info on the top ghost ship team?

      Sterling held Gomez for way longer but somehow Liverpool don’t get the free. Absolute joke

        VAR can't give a foul for that though
