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.

            I remember when he was at United, made me turning off TV

            1. Amey
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              Horrible

    5. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I'd have to take a hit this week for Mahrez and already on a -4.
      Think I will just have to stick it out. Hopefully its classic Fantasy football and he punishes his sellers!

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I'm thinking about mahrez as well.
        So congratulations for Son haul vs Everton

  4. Magic Zico

    What Salah can do here?

  5. Don Kloppeone

    3 years, 9 months ago

    Come on Salah (C) you Egyptian King!

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years

      Senegalese Emperor is the one

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Nah. Step aside Sadio, Mo is hungry 😆

  6. SHOOTER MCGINN
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Went from wanting to sell DCL to may as well captain against that Spurs defence.

  7. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Berge 43
    Mousset 28
    McBurnie 25

    Kane 24
    Son 24

    It’s tight.

    1. Eddie

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Deductions to come I think

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

        No point in posting if not.

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          You mean to say all the people saying son was on a bonus point earlier were wasting their time???

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            🙁
            I jumped up 2k places with that point man

  8. Deeney-is-a-god
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Think this convinced me
    Ready to do
    Son, jimenez to kane and puli/willian

    Just dont know if puli or willian is the best option..

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Kane? No. Nada.

    2. Dele
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Kane... are you joking?

      1. Deeney-is-a-god
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Looked dangerous today. Scored multiple disallowed goals and looked more fresh to me. Think he will score goals over the coming weeks

  9. Rains of Castamere
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Need a Sterling haul to save my GW. Cue a red card for punching Joe Gomez.

    1. AC Yew
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Same would be a nice parting gift

  10. Zilla
    • 6 Years

    Keep Son against Everton, yay or nay?

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years

    2. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Meh, I want to get rid of him. Far too wide on the left for my liking.

    3. Rains of Castamere
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Yes

      1. Rains of Castamere
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Fantastic goalscoring record vs Everton

        1. Rinseboy

    5. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years

  11. Warby84
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    De Bruyne blank Please.

  12. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Have Sterling & KDB. Should I triple up with Mahrez?

    1. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      why not Sterling to Mahrez?

  13. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Son assist + rvial with double shu cleanie

    11 point swing lovely

  14. Ask Yourself
    • 7 Years

        1. Coys96

    Pope Martin
    VVD TAA AWB Doherty Lascelles
    Bruno Martial Mahrez Pulisic Antonio
    Kane Jesus Origi

    WC taking shape. Will depend a lot on minutes in this game though.

    1. Coys96

      Looks great

      1. Rover
        • 7 Years

        Thanks 🙂

    2. Rishi Sehgal
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      great team!

  17. vanillasky639
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    I have managed without Fernandes so far by having a combination of AWB, Pogba and Greenwood. I find myself with 2 FT, should I be moving Pogba for Fernandes given his continued form and pogba's deeper play?

    1. Tinkermania
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      No. Could easily look like a sideways move after a few games.

    2. Whiskerz
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      All of the yes

    3. Deeney-is-a-god
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Yes, pogba is not getting forward as much, he is playing great in real life as more of a deeper lying playmaker. While bru o gets more forward and will be on some penalties. Pogba has a price that kind of represents his value, while bruno is underpriced for his returns. So far the player in the game with the most points per game by a significant margin

  18. OverTinker
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Salah blank needed. Hopefully hauls from KDB and Mane

    1. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      De Bruyne blank needed..

  19. Herman Toothrot
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    49 points after my double SHU defence was wiped.

    Need Sterling to run riot...

  20. Zimo
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    there are so few forward options. Need a 6th mid slot instead of 3rd striker slot.

  21. sunzip14
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Looks like first triple digit score this season. 98 with TAA and KDB to go!

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      That's a great score this GW! Captain?

      1. sunzip14
        • 7 Years

        Thank you. Auba

    2. mattrobb
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Or just classify folks like salah as fwds.

    3. Tinkermania
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Kdb penalty miss, TAA red card 😉

    Called Kane scoring. Even had a guarantee.

    Follow me for great tips. My next tip is Pogba to get a big score this weekend.

    2. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Nobody gives a toss that you called something that had a high chance of happening correctly. No need to massage your fragile ego.

      1. Right In The Stanchion
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers fam. I called it just after he had a that perfectly good goal disallowed. Shows your fragile ego to say such a thing

        1. George Sillett
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          LOL.

          1. Right In The Stanchion
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Didn’t even notice your name. Scotty ‘Talent’ lol. Talk about fragile ego, could even be small manhood syndrome

              • 4 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              There is a bunch of posters going around with scott talent in their name

              Tip: ignore them all

  23. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years

    Have a feeling aurier could be benched vs everton after that display and early sub

    Start aurier or lacelles?

    1. dicky2014
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Who would he play there?

  24. Stig
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    A) DCL+Rashford
    OR
    B) Greenwood+Son

  25. Naby K8a
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Son lucky to get anything from the last 2 games. Anonymous. Take the assists and run

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

      Awful, awful stats.

    2. Deeney-is-a-god
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Im switching for kane

  26. Right In The Stanchion
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Kane had the ball in the net 4 times. Surely that’s worth 1 bonus.

    1. Tinkermania
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Or -1 for illegal goals.

    2. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Did he?!

      1. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        only because everyone else stopped playing

  27. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Aurier or Gomez?

    Have TAA

  28. Dele
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Spurs rotten from top to bottom. Daniel Levy has single handedly destroyed all Poch’s work.

    GET OUT MY CLUB.

    1. Right In The Stanchion
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Mind the gap

  29. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Cheers for not much again Son... Not sure about selling though. Already got 3MUN plus Mane and KDB, not sure who to get

    Spurs are awful tho, pass it on

  30. vanillasky639
