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.

        Came from nowhere, fuming i am! He's played his chips last couple of weeks which is why i cant make ground.

        I think my team is better than his and is set up better for the remaining games. Keeping the faith!

          I was 43- 41 with TAA and Salah to come in, he's got Mahrez and we share KDB, by the time I get back from the fridge it was 39-48, I'm still in a state of shock 😮

    Why does this bs happen every single f*""ing gw... Pope owners bailed out while my gk loses cs in overtime. Fk this shite game..

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

      So annoying, what makes it worse is the combo

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      just get Pope. When I was having Ryan and Pope was doing like this I was posting like you. At the end? I got Pope and never looked back. Just get him, dude

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

      You started a keeper against a son and Kane partnership in the form of their lives? Only yourself to blame

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

        Wow, started a gk against a wing back and a DM... Shame on me...

    4. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Unless your rank is really good why stress

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

        My rank is bad but so are the people in my ML
        .. this is league deciding stuff...

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Ah ok, yeah that matters.

          It’s a tricky one. You mustve expected Spurs we’re likely to score.. it’s just annoying that the goal came so late.

  14. Sicaholic
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    A. Ederson, VVD, Doherty, Pulisic
    B. Martinez, Aurier, Taylor, Salah

    On a wc, which will you pick?
    Other attackers are
    kdb mahrez bruno martial
    Jim rashford nketiah

  15. EWH2020
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Chasing a 25 lead in ML need to take a risk.

    DCL, Son, Saka to Greenwood, Mahrez, Pulisic -8?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I like it. Mahrez(c)

  16. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    is it me or Robinson has become a regular for Sheffield Defense and he is only 4.0?

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      No one knows when O'Connell is back.

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

      Only till O'Connell is back so keep an eye on news about that

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        O'Connel was supposed to be back, however, he isn't. it's Robinson's spot

  17. balint84
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    A ) son+richarlison to salah+foden for free
    B) simply son to mahrez

  18. SuperMane Returns
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Mane 4 goal show to bring him back into Golden boot reckoning!

  19. goriuanx
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Guard of honour time.

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years

      Goosebumps for you 🙂

  20. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    VVD 15pter upcoming !!!

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

    I just need Salah to not score 19 to become manager of the month in my cash ML. Not asking much!

  22. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    0 shots for Son. Is he worth almost 10m? Will you ever captain him?

  23. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts:

    Martinez/Saiss/Son > Pope/Maguire/Mahrez

    Saiss hasn't don't much to warrent losing, although I do already have Doherty & can't see the CS streak going on forever.

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Wolves defence is gold, wouldn’t lose him for a hit, asking for trouble IMO

  24. EL tridente
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Auba and Grealish to Rashford and Mahrez?

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

      Aye

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

    Oh Campione 😎

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

    Son to mahrez

    Then

    Mahrez to kdb the following week?

    2 free transfers so can afford to play a bit

  27. Strchld
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Really need Mane to outscore Salah.
    Probably Salah brace and Mane doing nothing.

  28. kime67
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    well that was awkward

  29. mrodgers91
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Pure class and respect from city, if anything choosing to do that will rev them up a bit more

  30. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Son averaging 4 points since the restart, well done Son owners
