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.

    Manchester City giving a statement. Showing off, that they are the better team in direct confrontation. It is was like American sports in a playoff-type of a situation they don't have a chance.

  27. DandyDon

    3 years, 9 months ago

    So Mahrez IN was locked in before this game apparently - are we now worried Foden will get his place for the rest of the season?

    1. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      what, other than rotating in the cups because they were terrified of blowing a 20-point lead?

    2. aborg
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Lol you must be kidding ! Definitely not a Liverpool fan. They have nothing to play for.

  30. I Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Think I'll wait for Foden to be benched and get him the game after that.
