Gundogan’s goals, Foden’s starts and Pep on penalties: FPL notes on Liverpool v City

Liverpool 1-4 Manchester City

  • Goals: Mohamed Salah (£12.7m) | Ilkay Gundogan (£5.9m) x2, Raheem Sterling (£11.6m), Phil Foden (£6.1m)
  • Assists: None | Foden x2, Bernardo Silva (£7.4m), Gabriel Jesus (£9.2m)
  • Bonus: Gundogan, Foden x3, Sterling x1

Manchester City warmed up for Double Gameweek 24 with a comprehensive thrashing of Liverpool on Sunday.

A second-half capitulation from the Reds and their goalkeeper Alisson (£5.9m) may have added a little gloss to the scoreline but the win was utterly deserved, with City even gifting Liverpool a penalty and missing one of their own to briefly make things interesting.

GUND-WAGON

The man responsible for that penalty miss was Ilkay Gundogan (£5.9m), who skied a 36th-minute spot-kick to temporarily preserve parity.

But the German still departed Anfield with a 13-point haul to his name, scoring twice from close range after half-time to take his tally to nine goals in his last 11 Premier League matches.

Owned by fewer than 20,000 Fantasy Premier League managers before this purple patch began in December, Gundogan is top for transfers in ahead of Double Gameweek 24 and is now the fifth most-owned midfielder in the game.

So long a peripheral squad player, or used in the double pivot when he was granted pitch-time, his redeployment as an attack-minded number eight has revealed a long-dormant eye for goal.

Even when moved back into a more disciplined central midfield role when City switched to a 4-4-2 in the second half of Sunday’s game, he showed a natural, Kevin Nolan-esque knack for popping up in the right place when scoring twice from inside the six-yard box: the first after Phil Foden’s (£6.1m) close-range effort had been saved, the second after the young Englishman had teed him up beautifully.

Pep Guardiola said after full-time:

Now he is playing close to the box. But more importantly, in the second half, we played with a 4-4-2 and he was far away from the goal and he [still] arrived to score a goal. He has an incredible sense to arrive in the right moment.

ED OF THE QUEUE?

Having penalty-taking duties in your locker has certainly been an advantage this season, although the spot-kicks have dried up a little of late, with just six awarded in the top flight over the last four Gameweeks.

Kevin De Bruyne‘s (£11.8m) enforced absence has seen Gundogan assume control from 12 yards, with the Germany international scoring from the spot in Gameweek 19 and given the nod to take Sunday’s penalty.

Gundogan became the third City player to miss from the spot this season when he ballooned yesterday’s effort over the bar and the ongoing spot-kick woes prompted Guardiola to again suggest that Ederson (£6.1m) wouldn’t be far away from being considered, even if the comments were slightly tongue in cheek:

When I commented [on the prospect of Ederson taking penalties] six months ago, it was a joke. Now, it’s a half-joke. We don’t really have a specialist in this area.

I still think that Kevin is a fantastic taker and Gundo is a fantastic taker. What I want is the guy who takes to have personality: ‘I’m going to take the penalty, I’m going to score a goal’.

PHIL YOUR BOOTS

Shortly after Raheem Sterling (£11.6m) had capitalised on a second Alisson error to nod in Bernardo Silva‘s (£7.4m) cross, Foden rounded off the scoring with a superb strike of his own.

Preferred over Gabriel Jesus (£9.2m) as the central striker in Guardiola’s set-up on Merseyside, Foden was moved to the right flank upon the Brazilian’s introduction – and it was from a wide area that he scored City’ fourth.

Keen not to give his whizz-kid a big head in the aftermath of Sunday’s 16-point haul, Guardiola offered a little constructive criticism of Foden and confirmed what we pretty much knew already – that the City boss doesn’t quite trust the 20-year-old in central areas just yet:

When he is playing in the middle, sometimes he has some difficulty to understand what he has to do and the places he has to move. Right now he is moving perfectly in the sides as a winger. Of course, the second and fourth goals were outstanding.

The big question from a Fantasy perspective is: can he be trusted to start both of City’s Double Gameweek 24 fixtures?

It’s certainly a more realistic prospect than it was earlier in the campaign.

Foden has made the starting XI in six of City’s last eight Premier League fixtures and nine of his team’s last 11 in all competitions.

Whereas Gundogan looks pivotal to Guardiola’s set-up at present, however, there’ll always be the risk that the likes of Riyad Mahrez (£8.1m), Ferran Torres (£6.9m) and Jesus can oust Foden from a fluid and interchangeable front three.

A benching in the FA Cup fifth round in midweek would be warmly received by those FPL managers who do take a punt on the youngster.

ALISSON DOODY

City’s clean sheet was spoiled when the hitherto dependable Ruben Dias (£6.1m) brought down Mohamed Salah (£12.7m) for a second-half penalty, duly converted by the Egyptian.

Guardiola’s previous comments about players keeping their places so long as they avoid mistakes may cause a tummy-flip or two among Dias’ owners, although the otherwise excellent centre-half surely has enough credit in the bank to allow for one rick such as this.

Dias’ error was completely overshadowed by Alisson’s remarkably calamitous display, with the last three City goals – including Foden’s emphatic strike – owing a debt to the Brazilian.

Klopp said of his goalkeeper after full-time:

The only thing you can do is learn off it. That is what he will do and it will never happen to him again, I am pretty sure. But tonight it was decisive, I would say.

RED ZONE

Alisson’s horror show made the headlines but he isn’t to blame for all of Liverpool’s current woes.

Two wins in nine league games, three home defeats on the bounce and goalless in five of their last eight Premier League outings: the malaise has truly set in on Merseyside.

A dozen different centre-back pairings in 2020/21 is a key reason why the Reds’ clean sheet tally stands at a very average six (only half a dozen sides have fewer).

And the knock-on effect of using Jordan Henderson (£5.4m) and Fabinho (£5.4m) at centre-half has left the centre of midfield looking limp.

Ederson was barely troubled aside from Salah’s spot-kick, with the return from injury of Sadio Mane (£11.9m) having little effect.

With seven blanks in nine for Salah and Andrew Robertson (£7.3m) on his longest-ever run without an attacking return as a Liverpool player, Fantasy managers can be forgiven for looking elsewhere.

One glimmer of hope is the capture of centre-half duo Ozan Kabak (£5.0m) and Ben Davies (£5.0m). That could serve to redress some balance to the side, allowing Henderson and/or Fabinho to return to their more natural positions, but it’s asking a lot of two Premier League rookies to have the kind of galvanizing effect that Virgil van Dijk (£6.3m) did upon his arrival.


Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Fabinho, Henderson, Robertson (Tsimikas 85), Wijnaldum, Jones (Milner 68), Thiago (Shaqiri 68), Mane, Salah, Firmino.

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Cancelo, Dias, Stones, Zinchenko, Rodrigo, Gundogan, Silva, Mahrez (Jesus 72), Foden, Sterling.

    Leeds match to be canceled today, right? Expressly for the purpose of getting DCL off my bench.

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I’d love that with Gundo and Coufal coming on for Dallas and Bamford

      lol

        haha same - Gundo is so deep on mine it'd take an FPL miracle

    2. Lord.

      Elland Road clogged up with people getting their Covid-19 vaccines.

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I wish.

  3. Davekitson

    Would it be mad for me to BB GW24 despite having a wildcard left? Would then ensure I could keep Leeds players for DGW25 and wouldn't end up with the situation many are facing now of having points on the bench later in the season, as I would if I WC'ed GW25 and BB26

    Bench boost this week could look like:

    Johnstone (Man U, H) - Raphinha (Ars, A) - Dallas (Ars, A) - Vydra (Cry, A, Ful, H)

    Or should I aim for BB26 with 15 DGWers?

    1. Killitzer
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      How many games are expected in GW26 that would give you 15 DGW players?

      I have BB WC TC left but thinking of BB for GW24

    2. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A few on here are going down that road - myself included. BB24, WC25 (x3 Leeds, x2 Southampton), TC26 (1 FT and bench the Leeds/Southampton) and build for BGW29.

  4. Vazza
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Who to sell ?

    A. Stones (cheap)
    B. Dias (nailed)
    C. Cancelo (attacking threat)

    I have all three of the above and need to sell one to bring in Gundo

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      If money no object you sell Stones

      If money matters then it depends what you would do with the extra money

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A

    3. jomikijiq
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A

    4. Vazza
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks guys, money is always important. It would allow me to upgrade Areola to Martinez after this game week whilst retaining Robbo

  5. TheDragon
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Have WC but not FH left.

    Would you bench boost this (or wait for GW26)?

    Martinez, Bamford, AWB, Coufal

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yea

    2. jomikijiq
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I would BB this

    3. Vazza
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I would BB now for sure so that you could WC and focus on the strongest XI when you build your new team

    4. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I would BB

    5. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years

      Yus.

  6. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years

    Bamford will probably miss a pen tonight to complete the holy trinity of Red Card, OG & Missed pen all in the same gameweek

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Nah he’ll score well as I captained him.

      You don’t have Gundog?

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

        Unfortunately not (yet!)

        1. Vazza
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Join the club mate. I’m glad that there is an elite player (i.e. you) who also doesn’t have Gundo at this moment in time

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            He’s in this week barring anything unforeseen midweek

      2. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Maybe he forgot. Everyone has him.

  7. Salah_Fingers

    Start son and Raphina

    1. Salah_Fingers

    2. jomikijiq
      • 8 Years

      I'm benching both but have Raphinha 1st and Son 2nd

      1. Salah_Fingers
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yeh would be easier if I could do the same

  8. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    2 FT, 4.4 ITB

    Martinez ¦ Forster
    Maguire Coufal Cancelo Lowton

    Suggest a good use of the transfers?

    1. jomikijiq

      3 years, 1 month ago

      Gundo for Saka

    2. Wee Jinky
      • 12 Years

      Calvert-Lewin for Wilson, Gundogan for Barnes

      1. Slitherene

        Do it tonight with the price rises or wait?

  9. Drop Dead Tsimikas

    Stick and bank an FT?

    Pope
    Cresswell - Shaw - Digne* - Cancelo (v)* - Stones*

    If Leeds game gets cancelled that’s an extra 31 points for me. If only fans were allowed to go to games.

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      It might be cancelled?!

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I wish. Some thought it might because of all the snow but it’s pretty much impossible for a game to be called off for snow. Just wishful thinking.

  11. Vazza
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Why is Stones regarded as the worst option out of Dias, Cancelo and himself?

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

      Lower points ceiling and less attacking than cancelo

      Less nailed than Dias

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Don’t think that’s true any more and Stones has looked more a threat of late

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

    Any other bam bam cappers ?

    1. Rupert The Horse

    Is it true the Leeds v Crystal Palace game has been postponed?

    1. TheDragon

      No of course not

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      No. Just lots of wishful thinking from stupid players like me.

    3. Dele

      There is a chance. Heavy snow in the area.

      1. A. PRISE
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Literally no chance. Schedule is already packed and snow is almost never a reason to postpone a game

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah there’s no chance.

                Pretty much the same here. I bet you have 20+ points on the bench as well

        Maybe get in another DGW like Mee in for Dallas and save the other FT

          What about Coufal -> Mee, or Steer -> Pope? Any particular reason you chose to ship Dallas before either of those?

        One could come to a conclusion but without certainty.

      Bruno without is probably the best captain for gws 24,25 despite the single gws

        • 7 Years

        It sucks. Bamford is killing me with his injury in Football Manager 2021.

        Maybe they could spend less time thinking of stupid puns and update the fixture ticker instead?

      Can you stop calling him Bam Bam like you're in nursery school? Otherwise you won't get any pointy wointies before beddy byes.

      Hi all,
      After an amazingly lucky week (only rudiger spoiled my parade), wondering what to do next:
      Martinez, 4.0
      Diaz, Justin, Coufal, Shaw, Rudiger
      Salah, Sterling, Fernandez, Son, Gundogan
      DLC, Bam, Brewster

      No WC, FH intact, 1 FT, 0.1 ITB.

      Any ideas on what to do?
