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.

    Liverpool proving that they'll finish below United next season

      4th aint bad. 30 years for another epl title in 2050 maybe is

    VAR officials have City players and their nearest rival has Kane

    Liverpool double defence still viable?

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

      Scoutcast folk say yes because people are selling them #differentials #ownership #swordsandshields

      1. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        You got it

      2. Rover
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        But TAA and VVd both still have >40% ownership. How differential will they become even with some sales?

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

          Combined ownerships are much lower. That's what they used to justify it. More like 5% for a specific pairing

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

            Ah okay that's fair. I'm more concerned about them being on the beach.

    City have been unbelievable since the restart

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Late charge for the title me thinks

      1. Ady87
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Very late

    2. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Lost to Chelsea. Surely wolves/Utd better since restart?

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Fair

  12. TheDragon
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Best Sarr replacement as a 1 week punt?

    Was going to go Foden but concerned given he started tonight.

    1. Pdrpro
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      St Maximum!

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I am in the same boat. Thought about Saint-Maximin?

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

        It’s him, maybe something crazy like Trossard for the fixture or Foden

        I’m tempted to get rid of DCL too to afford William / Pulisic

        Tricky

  13. teddypicker
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Someone help Gomez, first a scratch in the face and now a full on beating

  14. Eat my goal!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    12-13mil too much with future rotation worries

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

      What worries?

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I believe it’s all there in the sentence

  15. Pdrpro
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Willian or Pulisic and why?

    1. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Pulisic, just more likely to score from open play i feel.

    3. X Trapnel
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'd go for why? Yourself?

    4. mdm

    Always play your own game took a 16 point hit couldn't miss out on another Trent haul I know I know took out Sterling and the 5 I brought in scored me a combined 4/2/1/1 & 0

    1. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      16 point hit!? Madness

      1. Oggle22
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Was trying to cover my ML rivals well annoying oh well!

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

    3. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      When playing your own game goes wrong

      1. Oggle22
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I wish I had played my own game I'd be top of my ML and cash manager of the month league! Just know if I'd have kept Sterling this wouldnt be happening!

    4. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'm sorry for your loss

  18. Superflymonk
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Sterling back to back goals. Hmmm dat price tho...

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

    Time to ship Liverpool players and triple up on Man City.
    Who is everyone shipping Salah for?

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

      Let 90mins happen

  20. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Team for next GW...

    Pope (Hendo)
    TAA Lascelles Saiss AWB (Taylor)
    Mane Salah (c) KDB (Saka, Dendoncker)
    Jimi, Rash Ings

    A Stick
    B Dendoncker to Cantwell
    C Rash/Dendoncker to Greenwood/Fernandes (-4)

    Benchboost remaining as well...?

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

      Time to ship Liverpool, in my opinion.

    2. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Liverpool play in 3 days. I wouldn't captain Salah in case of rotation.

      1. InSaneMan-e
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I'm fact I'd get Bruno and captain him.

    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    on WC:

    A) just go for Foden already
    or
    B) go with ASM (WHU) for GW33+ and swap him for FT to Foden for GW34+
