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.

    City have good fixtures and look like they can score in any match.

    KDB essential of course. Would like to double and maybe even triple up City but Pep rotation always an issue. What are your next best assets in for City rest of season as have been having this debate with others..

      Loads of rotation upcoming tbh. They play every 3 days or so.
      Otherwise jesus would be so nice. May get mahrez because he hasnt started. Ederson will be most nailed

    2. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Ederson and Mahrez

    3. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I was thinking swap Vards for him, not now.
      That pass was the hard part & he fluffed it.

  6. Amey

    Slaps myself for thinking about selling KDB*

  7. Rainer
    • 7 Years

    Wow KDB!!!
    Wow Jesus.

  8. Zilla
    • 6 Years

    What an awful attempt

  9. Niho992
    • 5 Years

    Mane is terrible

    1. FPL Blow-In

      You may think you’re trolling does not get old. It does...

  10. C'mon the Fylde
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I've captained Salah?
    My reasoning, is that he's chasing the Golden Boot, but now I'm thinking, "why didn't I captain KDB?"

    1. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Same

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Salah 2 away goals all season.

      1. C'mon the Fylde
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I'm not a statistician. Where were you, prior to this GW starting?

  11. diesel001

    3 years, 8 months ago

    KDB best player in the PL for me.

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Best player in the world after Messi for me.

  12. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    What a pass KDB

  13. Cok3y5murf
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Jesus 😆

  14. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I just wish they would rid of this fake crowd bullsh*te.

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      You can choose on Sky.

  15. OverTinker
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    oh What a pass by KDB!!

  16. SADIO SANÉ
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    if they don't get CL Madrid should just buy him and sink City

  17. Boomerang V
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Yes, Kdb EO is so high but this goal is great!

    Lots of Liverpool defense double-ups out there

  18. Deulofail
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Jesus is the worst finisher..... in the world

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      If he played for a team that didnt give him 100 chances a game he would barely score

    2. Dybala10
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Weird, when he first joined he looked immense.

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        He looked keen. But never posted good conversion numbers, despite being a tap-in merchant

  19. Strchld
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I won't get Jesus.

  20. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    KdB player of the year for me.

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Without a doubt. Typically certain types (Shearer) are plugging Henderson.

    2. Zilla
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yep, easily.

  21. goriuanx

    KDB is unreal. As if there's conversation as to who the best midfielder in the world is.

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Madness that people even mention Pogba in the same bracket.

      Insulting to KDB.

      1. OverTinker
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        so true - only some united fans i guess - no one else

  22. Dybala10
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Looking at the season ticker, think it’s worth binning Aurier for a Liverpool defender.

    Can’t bring myself to spend 7.8 on TAA.

    Robbo or VVD?

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      VVD.
      Good for set pieces

    2. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Gomez. Matip injured for the season.

  23. FPLtfs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3 years, 8 months ago

    2ft 0,1 itb. Shipping Son and Maguire
    Pick 1: Azpi, Laporte
    Pick 1: Pulisic, Martial, Mahrez

    Martinez, Button
    TAA, Doherty, Maguire, Saiss, Lascelles
    Salah, KdB, Son, Fernandes, Guendozi
    Rashford, Jimenez, Nketiah

  24. Babit1967
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Richarlison to Mahrez it is then

  25. Eat my goal!

    City bouncing back from
    Chelsea - pool lacking the ambition for points records

  26. fplking14

    KDB is in his own class.

  27. mad_beer ✅
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Remember all the people who said KDB was too fat before PL restarted? lol

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Like Chelsea who sold him & Salah

  28. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    LFC the better team hands down.

  29. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    That's handball if Moura one is a handball

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      If City had have scored from it, yes.

  30. SuperMane Returns
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Ederson dash out again, nearly a handball, but overruled

    1. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      It was handball. VAR consistent as usual...
