Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m) makes a second consecutive Premier League start for Manchester City as they travel to Leeds in Gameweek 4.

The Algerian international was a rare shining light in the Gameweek 3 defeat to Leicester, registering a goal and an assist.

The 5.2% invested in Mahrez will be pleased to see him lining up on the flanks of Manchester City’s front-three today, especially considering the fact that Leeds have conceded seven goals across the first three matches of the season.

Raheem Sterling (£11.5m) is trusted with the centre-forward role once again, while new signing Ferran Torres (£6.9m) makes his first league start on the flanks.

That does not mean Phil Foden (£6.6m) misses out though, the Englishman dropped into a deeper role today, operating in the central midfield trio with Rodrigo (£5.5m) and Kevin De Bruyne (£11.7m).

The Belgian is owned by 44.8% and captained by over one million Fantasy Premier League managers – Mohamed Salah (£12.2m) the only asset to receive more backing for the armband in Gameweek 4.

Meanwhile, Leeds have deployed FPL defender Ezgjan Alioski (£4.4m) out of position at Elland Road.

The Macedonian international is filling in for Jack Harrison (£5.5m), who is unable to face his parent club Manchester City.

As expected, the rest of Marcelo Bielsa’s team is unchanged, which means further starts for Patrick Bamford (£5.8m), Mateusz Klich (£5.6m) and Hélder Costa (£5.7m).

Leeds United XI (4-1-4-1): Meslier; Dallas, Cooper, Koch, Ayling; K Phillips; Alioski, Roberts, Klich, Costa; Bamford.

Manchester City XI (4-3-3): Ederson; B Mendy, Laporte, Dias, Walker; Foden, Rodrigo, De Bruyne; Mahrez, Sterling, Torres.

    This City team is extremely frustrating to watch. It's like they're so over cocky that they feel like they deserve to be scoring goals for fun, and when they don't they get frustrated.

  11. Zimo

    Mahrez is so afraid to provide a through ball for anyone.

    Foden is very erratic with his movements. Lacks the intelligence with his runs compared to any of his team mates.

    Finally City found a reliable CB next to Laporte. Now they need a LB to win the Premier League this year

    1. Begbie.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

    This is Fodens last game in my team.

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      He needs to be subbed so kdb can play cam

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

      Might bin him for Jorghino to have 7 peno takers.

      1. Gizzachance
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        5 mill for a pen taker

  30. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Only a Bamford goal could make this first half any worse as a foden kdb owner

    1. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Please no
