In the final match of Gameweek 7, Liverpool host Manchester City in a mouth-watering clash at Anfield.  

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

As expected, Liverpool are without the injured Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.5m), along with midfielders Thiago (£5.3m) and Harvey Elliot (£5.4m).

James Milner (£4.9m) starts at right-back, with Diogo Jota (£7.6m) preferred to Roberto Firmino (£8.8m) up front.

For Man City, Ilkay Gundogan (£7.2m) and Oleksandr Zinchenko (£5.3m) both miss out.

Gabriel Jesus (£8.6m), Jack Grealish (£8.0m) and Phil Foden (£7.9m) all start, with Ferran Torres (£7.0m), Raheem Sterling (£10.7m) and Riyad Mahrez (£8.7m) on the bench.

GAMEWEEK 7 LINE-UPS

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Milner, Matip, van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Henderson, Jones, Salah, Mane, Jota

Subs: Kelleher, Konate, Keita, Firmino, Gomez, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Minamino, Tsimikas, Williams

    Lost count of how many times Milner was beaten today

  2. Cruicky
    5 years, 19 days ago

    Man City overplaying every attack as usual.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      5 years, 19 days ago

      No striker, no main man to be greedy and go for it

      1. El Presidente
        5 years, 19 days ago

        They play it down but it's quite clear the team needs a n9 URGENTLY

  3. Ze_Austin
    5 years, 19 days ago

    Weird half from KDB, that

  4. jack88
    5 years, 19 days ago

    Pool Didn't play bad, city played extremely good..but that Doesn't mean anything cause they were bad at finishing.

  5. F4L
    5 years, 19 days ago

    CR7 watching City play dreaming about how many goals he would've scored

    1. Rainer
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Wouldn't need goalkeeping errors in this team.

      He's hoping he hasn't wasted his last two serious years...

      1. OverTinker
        5 years, 19 days ago

        that would be unfortunate

        1. Rainer
          5 years, 19 days ago

          It would be a shame. Messi will be doing the same thing unless they finally win a UCL.

  6. Tripleh123
    5 years, 19 days ago

    Need advice. Have TAA+ Alonso+Dias. 1 FT

    a) Greenwood>Foden/Grealish
    b) Greenwood>Cancelo+4.5m (-4)

    1. Tripleh123
      5 years, 19 days ago

      b) Cancelo+4.5mid

    2. F4L
      5 years, 19 days ago

      I'd get Cancelo first

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 19 days ago

      You basically need Cancelo long term, so I am not against b

      1. Tripleh123
        5 years, 19 days ago

        Would u get him after IB or tdy? Worried about price rise and drop in Greenwood vakue

    Foden, is he an option? 😛

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      5 years, 19 days ago

      That way lies madness, my friend.

      1. Magic Zico

        5 years, 19 days ago

        😎

    2. Rainer
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Absolutely. He's in City's strongest XI but you know Pep...

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        5 years, 19 days ago

        Ahh, he's 7.9. Thought around 7 which would be more 'benchable'.

  8. MountainBeach
    5 years, 19 days ago

    Foden's gonna get decent returns over the next few weeks I reckon. What do you guys think?

    1. 272MK
      5 years, 19 days ago

      His owner probably gets a few heartbreaks too

  9. Ze_Austin
    5 years, 19 days ago

    Matip keeps trying to get in the box. Pretty impressive, if I may say so maself

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      5 years, 19 days ago

      It is because I sold Matip. Hurt his pride point to prove

  10. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
    5 years, 19 days ago

    Dias and Cancelo, set and forget.
    Maybe Walker for the defensive treble up.

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Or Laporte?

      1. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
        5 years, 19 days ago

        Yeah even Laporte, this back 4 seems pretty set. Only slight concern is whether it gets changed dramatically for easier games, i.e. those coming up.

    2. OverTinker
      5 years, 19 days ago

      I have gone for Cancelo and Laporte

    3. Thomas Magnum
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Really considering it, means no Vardy in attack though

  11. Hy liverpool
    5 years, 19 days ago

    I hope klopp and FSG get now what we were talking about all the summer.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      5 years, 19 days ago

      I think klopp always did

    2. Rainer
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Milner back up right back with main rivals getting to spend £50m per full back and even let one rot in prison...

      Two clubs playing in different worlds...

    3. Bushwhacker
      5 years, 19 days ago

      We’re not ever going to buy the league. That’s for others to do.

      1. Hy liverpool
        5 years, 19 days ago

        We aren't going to buy the league we need at least 2/3 players and we aren't talking about mbappi and halland like city/chelsea/united.

    4. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Klopp said he didn’t need to spend money for the sake of it. Only wanted to get players that would improve the side.

      1. Hy liverpool
        5 years, 19 days ago

        Any midfielder or back up RB would have helped in these situations.. Relying on keita chamberlain jones origi won't get you the league.

        Not fan of spending that's not liverpool, but at least get what we really need atm wijnaldum shaqiri replacements at least.

        1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
          5 years, 19 days ago

          In saying all that though Liverpool heading for a clean sheet against Man City despite Liverpool playing Milner at RB.

    Check out this cheating account:

    Have complained to FPL, they said they would take action but to no avail

    1. OverTinker
      5 years, 19 days ago

      what is he trying to do?? Name seems Egyptian

      1. OverTinker
        5 years, 19 days ago

        but the last member has a bangladeshi name

      2. Cruicky
        5 years, 19 days ago

        multi-accounting I reckon.

      3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON

        Bangladesh flag

        1. OverTinker
          5 years, 19 days ago

          Yes also the name of the last member is Bangladeshi. But the name Ehab Shams name is most common in Egypt. I should have just checked it from the Flag though.

    2. JONALDINHO

      Don’t see where they get enjoyment from having multiple accounts. Ruins the whole thing

    4. @persecuted_by_mods
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Fpl won't do anything, reported this kind of things many times last season they just blank it or say they'll look into it but don't take action

      They'd prefer the player number count being artificially higher

      1. OverTinker
        5 years, 19 days ago

        This - it seems

      2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

        Why should they? It helps their game grow

    5. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      5 years, 19 days ago

      This is one of thousands. Possibly millions of accounts in fpl

      The true number of players playing the game is around 2-3m

  15. Gunneryank
    5 years, 19 days ago

    So does Liverpool join the kick-around in the 2nd half?

    1. Bushwhacker
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Half of two halves ; Liverpool dominated the start, City played into it. Need Bobby on, startinf Jota was a mistake.

      1. Rainer
        5 years, 19 days ago

        Absolutely Bobby need to help Liverpool get out, too many passes cleared out and coming straight back in...

    2. Rainer
      5 years, 19 days ago

      City might given them a lend of it for 5 mins.

    3. GreennRed
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Neither team look great. City have no cutting edge. Pool's cutting edge playing in Pool's half.

      1. TheTinman
        5 years, 19 days ago

        You can see why Pep wanted a striker

        1. GreennRed
          5 years, 19 days ago

          It'll be many a long day before Aguero's ilk is seen in Premier League again.

    How does she look?
    Ramsdale (Foster)
    Azpi Cancelo Rudiger Semedo (Manquillo)
    Salah Grealish Raph (Allan Luiz)
    Lukaku Vardy Toney

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 19 days ago

      I’d be looking at a second City defender

      1. Mozumbus
        5 years, 19 days ago

        Thanks. Which one to you fancy?

        1. PascalCygan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          5 years, 19 days ago

          Probably Dias but I’m a big Ederson fan too - even though I know premium keepers aren’t popular here

          1. Mozumbus
            5 years, 19 days ago

            Yes both good options. Which of the following you'll sacrifice for Dias/Ederson:
            A. Azpi
            B. Grealish
            C. Vardy

            1. PascalCygan
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              5 years, 19 days ago

              B

              1. Mozumbus

                Thanks again

  17. EL tridente
    5 years, 19 days ago

    Saka or Foden Long term?

    1. Bushwhacker
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Neither

    2. F4L
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Foden gets ruined by sub appearances

  18. TheTinman
    5 years, 19 days ago

    I'd take your arm off for a Jota 3pter right now 😆

    1. Bushwhacker
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Should be off sharpish

      1. TheTinman
        5 years, 19 days ago

        Don't see why him necessarily. The whole team have been poor.

        But yeah, he'll be hooked soon.

  19. caldracula

    Well at least I managed to captain the only player who got a return this week!

    1. Firminooooo

  20. The Final Boss
    5 years, 19 days ago

    Guys one doubt, what is the 'safety score ' in livefpl.net means?

    1. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Score needed for green arrow

  21. JONALDINHO
    5 years, 19 days ago

    Why in the world is Firmino not playing. Jota starting over him is beyond ridiculous. No Liverpool player in that side is capable of keeping the ball. Not one. Him or Thiago in the side is essential especially against a team who can press

    1. Bushwhacker
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Yup. Very odd choice.

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Agree

    3. Marvin.
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Prepare yourself for all of the bone headed Thiago hatters.

      1. Marvin.
        5 years, 19 days ago

        *haters

    4. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Missing Thiago and Trent is hurting. Firmino had to start, too.

    5. Ze_Austin
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Matip has been our best attacker or ball progressor so far

      Pretty weird. Klopp would have blasted 'em in the dressing room

  22. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 19 days ago

    Sanchez has been fine and I usually like a 4.5 keeper but I am looking at ways to bring in Ederson, maybe in GW9. Anyone else considering him?

    Ederson and Cancelo, with Trent and Rudiger, along with Livramento and someone else could be fun.

    1. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
      5 years, 19 days ago

      I think if there was a year where I was tempted to go for a premium keeper, it would be this one.

      But I would probably take Mendy and buy even more time to decide whether to get Ederson, Allison or Lloris in gw12

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        5 years, 19 days ago

        Nice one. All worthy of consideration!

    2. Thomas Magnum
      5 years, 19 days ago

      My thoughts exactly if I don't go city defensive triple up then looking at Ederson - Azpi/Rudi - Trent - Cancelo/Dias (Livra Manq) The problem is deciding which City and Chelsea defender to go with

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        5 years, 19 days ago

        Absolutely. Triple up could be such a power move. If I hadn’t used up my WC already, I’d consider it now.

        1. Thomas Magnum
          5 years, 19 days ago

          Thinking I'll go with the triple up honestly, just means much less money in attack though.

  23. Tripleh123
    5 years, 19 days ago

    Which is better? Have TAA+Alonso+Dias. 1FT

    a) Get Cancelo, double up on City defence. go 442 (-4)
    b) Get Foden/Grealish , go 352

    1. Mozumbus
      5 years, 19 days ago

      A

  24. yousunkmybattleship

    Jota sub before 60 mins pretty much guaranteed

  25. jack88
    5 years, 19 days ago

    Why such foden love? He will be benched next match

    1. Viprin
      5 years, 19 days ago

      No one here has him

      1. jack88
        5 years, 19 days ago

        Read above

    2. GreennRed
      5 years, 19 days ago

      I wouldn't pick him right now but I think he's less a rotation risk than most City attacjers bar De Bruyne or Grealish.

  26. Duke Silver ☑
    5 years, 19 days ago

    Ref has a better touch than KdB today

  27. DIMITRIS
    5 years, 19 days ago

    What do you think of this : Ahead of Man City's nice run of fixtures, if one gets say Grealish, Foden and Jesus, and if he keeps them for 6-8 GW's , their net score can easily beat or at least match the net score of some other players in that price bracket whom would have to been switched between in order to get it right.

    1. GreennRed
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Fixtures look favourable for City wins, not necessarily that some or all three will get decent points. You have three players there who can split City's attacking points in the games that they play but Jesus is a rotation risk for me. Grealish was a better pick for Villa. Could be very profitable but I'm staying away from City attack since I sold Grealish. Might get De Bruyne in soon enough though.

      1. DIMITRIS
        5 years, 19 days ago

        Well if I steer away from mid price City options, I'd then at least get KDB and cap him against Burnley and Palace. Nonetheless I do think that having 3 mid priced City options can be very very profitable. Cheers!

        1. GreennRed
          5 years, 19 days ago

          Don't mind me, I'm selling Lukaku for Hwang!

          1. Not again Shirley
            5 years, 19 days ago

            Still can’t believe Lukaku blanked yesterday. On another day he could easily have hauled. I cursed him by captaining so apologies for that.
