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.

      Sell sell sell

  5. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years

    Selling Salah after the Villa game?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      It would be harder if he had hattrick I imagine

  6. waltzingmatildas
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Only have TAA from liv and kdb from city. Going to bring foden in for mount.
    Which other one would you have?
    A) salah
    B) mahrez

    1. Better off with a pin and a…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I think Salah for next week, Mahrez long term.

  7. Uncle John from Jamaica
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Is Garcia a starter now at Man City.

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Definitely imo.

      1. Uncle John from Jamaica
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        That’s exactly my feeling I don’t think you would see him starting this game given its significance if not

  8. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    My brain is fried. So many good options in form

  9. Chucky
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Worst GW ever... 🙁

    1. Party time
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Absolutely

    2. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Foden or ASM? Got to be Foden hasn't it?

    3. _Gunner
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      So who do you think will start next GW for City and Pool?

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

        Alisson

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

        Mahrez gotta start surely

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

        Both keepers Laporte VVD only ones I'm sure of, 90% mahrez, other than that who knows

    4. Edge
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      A) Mahrez
      B) Pulisic

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

        Both

        I want 12 mids

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

          This

    5. Big Ronnie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Son and DCL to Mahrez and Greenwood?

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

        Probably not Mahrez

        1. Big Ronnie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Why not? I think he'll start next match now.

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

        Nice moves. Debating the same, although I own two City midfielders already. Between triple city or Salah for me.

        1. Big Ronnie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          If you 100% knew salah would start next match then it would have to be him.

          1. Mr_Barbs
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Agreed! How many city do you have atm? Pulisic a possibility.

    6. Milk, 1 Šuker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Man City front 3 vs So’ton for me:

      Bernardo-Sterling-Mahrez

      Fair?

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

        got to agree. Annoying because I think raz is better with a central striker on the pitch too

    7. dshv
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Jimenez and hayden to pulisic nkiteah
      Or

      Dcl and hayden to foden nketiah

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

        Keep jimi, that's almost as bad as thinking about selling kdb

        1. Lucy2019
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Good joke.

    8. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Will Greenwood start vs Bou?

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

        I reckon so, been playing really well and Utd need to keep the momentum in the fight for Europe.

      2. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Yes, his place to lose now

      3. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        So DCL -> Greenwood it is?

    9. Gowiththeflow
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Same boat here but I have Bruno. Pulisic is a sure starter (I guess) but Foden maybe will be rested... but it is tough

    10. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      What game by Mane

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

        @ NIHO You are not ripping Sterling today?

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

      Come oooon KDB score another

    12. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Feeling a little Auba + Barnes > Sterling + Greenwood

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Thinking Auba + Sarr > Sterling + Greenwood

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

          Looks good

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

      KDB Mahrez Foden or KDB Sterling Foden?

      1. Lucy2019
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        FFS. So Mahrez or Sterling?

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Feisty

        2. Hart-ake
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          I lol'd. Mahrez.

      2. Milk, 1 Šuker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        First one

    14. Slim25
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      2 ft's, what option?

      1) Son & Rich > KDB & Foden
      2) Son & RIch > KDB & Pulisic

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

      Come on still time for a Salah goal

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

      Salah getting 90 mins? Interesting.

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

        Mane only just gone off too

    17. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      This GW started out so well and has gone completely to s**t. Come on Salah get a consolation. At least get me something...

    18. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Salah rested against villa ?? Mane gone off

      1. Collie01
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Doubt it. Going for golden boot and Klopp will want a strong response vs Villa

        1. JONALDINHO
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Mane only has 2 less goals though

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