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.

GAMEWEEK 7 LINE-UPS

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Milner, Matip, van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Henderson, Jones, Salah, Mane, Jota

Subs: Kelleher, Konate, Keita, Firmino, Gomez, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Minamino, Tsimikas, Williams

Man City XI: Ederson, Walker, Dias, Laporte, Cancelo, Rodri, De Bruyne, Silva, Jesus, Grealish, Foden 

Subs: Steffen, Carson, Stones, Ake, Sterling, Torres, Fernandinho, Mahrez, Palmer

    Does Salah play internationals over the IB?

    1. Ragabolly
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yes

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

    I didn't even consider captaining Salah for one solitary second this week. This is why i am bad at this game.

    Oh well. We go again. It'll be nice to have a break from it.

    1. JJO
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      It would be stupid to consider him this gw
      Just the way fantasy goes

    2. Nanoelektronicar
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      He was my captain until I did Ronaldo > Lukaku. 😀

  3. LIARS POKER
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Would you WC this team?

    Ramsdale 4.0
    TAA Rudiger Shaw White Livramento
    Salah Jota Greenwood Raphinha Benrahama
    Lukaku Antonio 4.5

    Thinking of WCing to this:

    Ramsdale 4.0
    TAA Rudiger CANCELO CHRISTENSEN Livramento
    Salah FODEN ESR Raphinha BROWNHILL
    Lukaku Antonio JIMENEZ

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Christensen is not nailed don’t like Brownhill, apart from that template

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

    Bottomed.. Thoughts on WC?

    Ramsdale (Sanchez)
    Cancelo, Azpi, Rudiger (Duffy, Manquillo)
    Salah, Raphina, Townsend, Mbuemo, (Luiz)
    Vardy, Lukaku, Jiminez

    1. Im New Here
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years

      This doesn't need a WC. Or do you mean this is your WC team?

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

        The fact you can’t tell is worrying!

        I am proposing to WC to this

        1. Im New Here
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          I think it's great. I would maybe prefer Gray to Townsend

    2. Ibralicious
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Sanchez to Foster. Use the extra cash to do Mbuemo to Gray?

  5. jonnybhoy
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Any changes needed here?

    Sanchez
    Azpil Rudiger Tomiyasu
    Salah (C) Sarr Gray Gallagher
    Vardy Antonio Ronaldo

    Foster Manquillo Livra McCarthy

    1. GROBARI
      • 3 Years

      IB could answer your question. Wait for them to finish,rest from FPL 🙂

    Everyone gangsta saying permacap until the next GW actually arrives

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

      Weird club that people are announcing they are joining.

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      permacap is 7 PPG for the season. It's just whether you think you can beat that.

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

      Permacap is a lazy statement

      Nobody ever commits to it

  7. We Go Again
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Trying to decide between KDB and Foden...

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Foden

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      De Bruyne.

    3. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      neither unless Foden is starting 3 out of every 4 games

  8. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Greenwood > who?

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

      Salah

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Already got

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

          Raphinha

          1. g40steve
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Was looking at Mbeumo

            1. Fish up a tree
              • 2 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              From GW9 I am bringing him in

    2. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Messi

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

      Raph,if you have him then Grealish,if you dont want him Saka or Mbeumo

    4. Fish up a tree
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Foden on that performance

  9. OverTinker
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Cancelo + Laporte = 1 point for me 😀

    1. fusen
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Cancelo + Dias (autosub) = 0 points 😐

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

    Pinnock is an underrated FPL pick

    1. Calculated Risks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I was all set on Williams to Cancelo bit am seriously considering Brentford's defence. Think Pinnock and Livra as 4th and 5th is gold with 3 of Chelsea/city/arsenal/livers

  11. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Mo outscores Cancelo + Rudiger + Raphinha + Lukaku (c) + Ronaldo + Antonio
    King!

    1. Superflymonk
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      If it were a head 2 head showdown, we only need one player to beat your team

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      But not Llorente

        Barely hanging by a thread

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

      Look at that last comment... shows many on here just haven’t got a clue and are so scared to think outside the box.

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

        That last reply*

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years

      Make your own decisions

      1. JONALDINHO
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        That’s what I just said…I didn’t not Captain him because someone replied was just expressing thoughts

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

      To be fair Lukaku home v Saint's was the one

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

        The template one yeah.

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Not just that but the result game and chances show he was

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

            Can say the same for Jimenez.

    4. jackruet
      • 2 Years

      Dont listen to anyone here

      1. JONALDINHO
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I don’t. It’s my own fault.

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

      Have confidence in your own decisions

      The best never get swayed. They ask opinions but gather their own information and make their own decisions. Lead by example

      Lesson learned dont trust horses or yanks

  13. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    -200k this week….WC or give it one more week?

    Sanchez/Steele
    TAA/Cancelo/Rudi/Duffy/Tsim
    Salah/Greenwood/Benrahma/Raphinha/Sarr
    Ronaldo/Antonio/Scarlet

  14. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Son is the premium mid to have alongside Salah.

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

      Trust me you need Ronaldo too

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

      Tough to decide between him or Vardy to spend the saved cash from going without in defense

  15. GROBARI
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Could Salah beat his record from 2018,for most fpl points ever?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      At the rate he is going, yes.

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      he's playing a different role, so I doubt it.

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

      Is he the best FPL player ever?

      1. GROBARI
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        2 more season and he will be without a question

        Yeah,forgot that

  16. WVA
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Which move?

    A. Shaw to Cancelo
    B. Benny to Raph
    C. Both for -4

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

      Nothing until internationals are over.

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Agree, plenty ITB so no rush either

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

          Raphinha might not be available etc.

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Both might not play next GW! Wait until closer to deadline

    3. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I don't see A changes over ITB but obviously wait

  17. OverTinker
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    If Raphina unavailable for next GW then Ronaldo + Raph to Foden + Jimi for hit
    1. Yes
    2. No

    1. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      No, simply as you’ll want Raph for all his figures after that one

  18. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Delete your team if you do not own Salah.

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

      I do have him but things change quickly in FPL - imagine if both Lukaku and Ron hauls next GW

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        That won't happen

      2. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I've been banking on that exact thing happening for the last few weeks, this week they finally both had better fixtures and still got annihilated by Salah

    2. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years

      I refuse to bite I refuse to bite I refu….oh sod it!

      He’s in tonight!

    4. Deulofail

      Why?

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 7 Years

        It's Foo fighter, that's why

    5. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Most probably have already

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

    I think Liverpool might need a proper backup right back lol. They might have won the game if Milner wasn't getting skinned alive all match.

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Gomez. Right or left.

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Proper

  20. LIARS POKER
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Best mid priced mid to downgrade Greenwood to? (already own Raphinha + Benrahama)

    A) ESR/Saka
    B) Mbeumo
    C) Townsend
    D) Other?

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Mbeumo

  21. EL tridente
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Salah without question the greatest FPL player off all time

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Aguero for me.

      1. Thomas Magnum
        • 8 Years

        This

      Prime ronaldo

  22. Salarrivederci
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Before I take a two-week-break from this mess.. What do you think of this move for free?
    Semedo -> Walker leaving me with .1 ITB:

    Schmeichel
    TAA - Walker - Rüdiger - Tierney
    Salah (C) - Gray - ESR
    Ronaldo - Lukaku - Pukki

    (Ward, Gallagher, Livramento, Sissoko)

  23. Ibralicious
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Did Cancelo really look bad enough to the point where he might be dropped?

    1. fusen
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      no

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

      Fine on the ball but he was ruined for both goals.

      It was Salah tbf, he's on another level.

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

      Not dropped and potentially rotated

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

      He pocketed Salah in the first half, then Salah turned it on in the second.

    5. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      They wont play Liv until 2023

    6. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Any defender in the world would get done by Salah in that form.

    7. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      his weaknesses defensively showed, but looked v good going forward again. tbf the way City set up, Cancelo is made to do a lot of defending, so it suits him

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        *is not made

  24. Gunneryank

    Sorry i doubted you, Mo. It won't happen again.

  25. dark91
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Ok now that the game is over and it was amazing and very entertaining and all. But why was Milner not shown a second yellow for that tackle on B.Silva?!!!

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Tierney got scared.

      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Phew, had 3 points after 7 players gone, Mo(c), Sanchez, Duffy and Regulion got it to 45 points and a green arrow (to a miserable 700k).

  27. Tripleh123
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Which is better and shld i do it early or after the IB?

    a) Greenwood to Foden/Grealish for 1FT
    b) Greenwood to Cancelo+ 4.5mid (-4)
