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.

  9. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Sorry my bad thought Foden was coming off.

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

      Can’t come off if he’s not on.

    2. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

  15. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years

    So many greedy City players

  16. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Mahrez greedy

  17. ivantys
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Mahrez is getting dropped next game.

  18. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Mahrez terible

  19. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years

    Mahrez so poor there.

  20. WVA
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    KDB too good for this team, he should go Everton!

  21. Pedram
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Dodged a bullet by not listening to you guys who recommended captaining KDB

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Get out

    2. Champions League Varane
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Me too but wait the game is not over yet..

    3. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      It’s your choice at the end of the day

  22. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    This is excruciating

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Why? I am impressed by Leeds

      1. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        KDB captain

        1. Hybrid.power
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          I'm delighted for leeds

  23. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    That Leeds goal was painful.

    Sterling 2 CS pts lost, KDB CS pt lost, Sterling 2 * 1 BP lost so in total a huge loss of 5 pts.

    Too much

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Oh the pain

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        You?

  24. Gobigorgohome
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Mahrez thinks he is Ronaldo but actually he is Obertan

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      He has 2 PL titles

  25. Miguel Sanchez
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    De Bruyne body language looks off

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah, did you see after he shoot that last goal attempt?

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

      Only one putting a shift in rest are a bunch of luxury players who’ll get a brace when your hammering a team but won’t dig you out of a spot

  26. Clintymints
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    KdB looks frustrated AF with these lads playing around him

    Hopefully Bernardo can do something and help out

    1. Hulk Smash
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      He's primarily a creator but he doesn't have a natural striker to create for at the moment.

      1. Clintymints
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Lads around him aren’t even doing the basics at the minute

  27. john25
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Hey guys, if I make my TF's now but hit the WC later will the negative point hits get erased to 0 before the GW starts?

    Cheers

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yep

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yep

    3. Zalk
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yep, since the transfer cost is deducted after the gameweek starts.

    City are terrible. Which probably means wolves are woeful

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah was also thinking this! What a season

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Totally

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

    Kdb given up

    1. villa_til_i_die
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah, far too deep, considering selling, once I’ve got rid of other garbage!

  30. WVA
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Leeds keep passing it to KDB, think they captained him
