Jota starts as Torres, Sterling and Mahrez benched for Man City

In the final match of Gameweek 7, Liverpool host Manchester City in a mouth-watering clash at Anfield.  

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

As expected, Liverpool are without the injured Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.5m), along with midfielders Thiago (£5.3m) and Harvey Elliot (£5.4m).

James Milner (£4.9m) starts at right-back, with Diogo Jota (£7.6m) preferred to Roberto Firmino (£8.8m) up front.

For Man City, Ilkay Gundogan (£7.2m) and Oleksandr Zinchenko (£5.3m) both miss out.

Gabriel Jesus (£8.6m), Jack Grealish (£8.0m) and Phil Foden (£7.9m) all start, with Ferran Torres (£7.0m), Raheem Sterling (£10.7m) and Riyad Mahrez (£8.7m) on the bench.

    At least a great end to the GW lads!

      Not for me 🙁

        Shoulda capped Son like me.

        6/7 successful caps for me - I'll let you know who I cap next so you can recover 😀

        1. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah in hindsight, he should have at least 2 goals today really

          1. R.C
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Yeah he should've hauled. Kane didn't square one to him as well

            1. Big boy Bowen
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              It’s the penalty factor too

    Go big in defence they said…….
    2, 0, 0

    1. jackruet
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      They? Who? Its just a small youtube, ffs, twitter community

    2. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      6
      10 1 6

      Not too shabby

    3. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Ronaldo and lukaku arent doing much better

    4. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Liverpool away the worst fixture they could possibly have

    5. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Alonso Cancelo Rudiger

    6. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years

      It's all or nothing with defenders. Some weeks will be amazing, others awful. Over a long period they should be good value.

  3. Nightcrawler

    Salah shd be 14m

    Antthing below 13m for him is a steal

    1. LarryDuff
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      He shd be 14 maybe but e iz not blud

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Agreed, he’s so underpriced

  4. TheTinman
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Walker on free kicks. Tasty... haha

  5. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    The quality of these two teams...

  6. Ze_Austin
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Mane has perfected that turn. You either foul him or end up behind him as he sprints. Hard skill to counter

  7. tuturututu
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Not an assist for Walker?

  8. R.C
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Salah on 70 points rest of the FPL below 40 points LOL

    Should be 15m

    1. LarryDuff
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah thats called hindsight genius

  9. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years

    Woww

  10. Viprin

    More points for my team, but my rank still plummets

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yes, on the other hand I don't believe that those managers who capped Salah this week are the biggest worry come the end of the season.

  11. Walter White (WW)
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    If you don’t have Salah just go for a walk

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I think I’m the only one on here without him lol

      1. mojoindojo
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Me too...

        1. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Let’s get him in for a hit, only to see his returns suddenly stop

          1. Walter White (WW)
            • 2 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Get him & enjoy the haul buddy

            1. Big boy Bowen
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              I am, I’ll wet myself with laughter if he then blanks

          2. mojoindojo
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Already did

            1. Big boy Bowen
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              What moves?

  12. TheTinman
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Why is Salah bothering to pass?!

  13. Thomas Magnum
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Why is Cancelo so much more popular than Walker?

    1. Tasty Jerk
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      thats why 🙂

      1. Thomas Magnum
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Rodri block no?

    2. LarryDuff
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Can play left or right, more attacking threat

  14. Ze_Austin
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Rodri block on Fabinho. DM vs DM. Lovely stuff

  15. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Nearly another salah assist

  16. BobbyV
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Wow

  17. Duke Silver ☑
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    What a block

  18. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Salah denied an assist

  19. jackruet
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    If you Don't captain salah and he hauls, that's a bad news

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      If there was one week to miss out his haul as non cap this was it

    2. mojoindojo
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Badder if you don't even own...

    3. Thanos
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yep, bad news for non Salah cappers

  20. BeaversWithAttitude
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Haha, Fabinho! You snooze, you lose, baby!

  21. Tasty Jerk
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Cancelo the hero

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Rodri

  22. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Was that not a Foden assist? Still not given 😕

  23. R.C
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    One CDM blocking the other CDM.. this game has everything!

  24. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Fabinho you clown 😆

  25. Zilla
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    A lot of higher scores now

  26. BIGREDDOG
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    One of the best blocks I've seen from Rodri

    1. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Quality defending. He had no right to get there when you see how far away he was initially.

  27. Saxe-Gotha
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    My plan was to bring in a City player after this GW. Can't decide between Foden and KdB now.

  28. Gunneryank
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Whoa wtf?! What a game! With my GW in shambles it's nice to just not care and enjoy a real game.

  29. CroatianHammer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2 years, 5 months ago

    Looks like a tiny green. Will take it. 43 so far. 10 players. BHA saved my FPL bacon (so luucccckkkkkkkyyyyyy!)

  30. Dr. Rog
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Alonso lost his place now?

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Chilly made big defensive mistake which cost them cs. I am not selling now.
