Last season’s top two go head-to-head at the Etihad this evening as Gameweek 2 is brought to its conclusion. Both City and Liverpool go in search of a second successive win, allowing Fantasy managers the chance to assess our options in midfield and attack, with Raheem Sterling, David Silva, Sergio Aguero and Daniel Sturridge looking to get amongst the goals once again.

Aguero remains on the bench for City, however, as Manuel Pellegrini makes just one change from the side that defeated Newcastle last Sunday. The City boss hands Stevan Jovetic and Edin Dzeko the chance to lead the line again, then, whilst Pablo Zabaleta is drafted in at right-back, with Gael Clichy swapping over to the other flank as Aleksandar Kolarov drops out.

Brendan Rodgers makes a couple of alterations to the XI that started against Southampton last time around. New signing Alberto Moreno is handed a debut at left-back, with Glen Johnson shifting to the right of defence as Javier Manquillo drops out. Elsewhere, Joe Allen comes in for Lucas in the centre of the park.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    random, but anyone else notice that the scoreboard at the top of the fpl page is stuck on gw1?

      Sounds like reasonable grounds for a free wildcard, and free drinks for all, huzzah!

            Blessed be the drunks, for without them, how are the rest to tell that they are sober?

  2. Chu Young Ping Pong

    2-2

    Nothing for Sturridge, Sterling, Silva, Jovetic, Dzeko and Yaya.

      And then you woke up from your dream

    1. Mr_Partridge
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      £63.9m 😆

      1. Chu Young Ping Pong
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        🙂 😀 😆

      2. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        If Torres is worth £50m

        1. Mr_Partridge
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Almost 5 years ago, and Torres was much better in his prime...

        2. 4vets
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          He never was though.

        3. Make United Great Again
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          You all know he's a top player.

          Who cares if she's 10-15 million over what he's worth.

          1. Mr_Partridge
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Try £30m

            1. Simon69
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              £30m? Everything you said just became null and void.

            2. Make United Great Again
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              If Ozil is worth 42. Di Maria is worth a lot more.

              But like I said, who cares. We have the money for it. 😀

      3. Simon69
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Meh.. Rodriguez was bought for a similar price.

    2. Del Griffith
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I hope hes brought his rain coat, but then again I doubt he has one

    3. RabMac
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      He looks like he is trying to score some gear.

      1. Mr_Partridge
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        😀

  3. PogChamp
    • 14 Years

    Steven Gerrard. Big game player.

  4. sinik

    Yaya hattie would make this site explode

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      One would be enough

      1. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I know but I want a hat trick haha, too greedy?

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          I meant one would be enough to melt the site 🙂

          1. sinik
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            I know but melting isn't enough, I want explosion! 😀

  5. Zombie

    Without Kolarov we can clearly see City isn't attacking from their left side at all ....Kolarov on at half time

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Nah, Kolarov would get torn apart against Raheem

      1. Zombie
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        then keep Clichy and bring Kolarov in midfield 😉

  6. mr messi
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    After trying to decide whether to ditch Young or Austin I might just do Mata to Sterling!

  7. Overlordleo
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Does anyone know where I can buy a stream for all the remaining bpl games in good quality? The only channel that streams premier league here is Sweden costs over 30£ each months and streams more than bpl which I am not interested in watching.

    1. 4vets
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I just Googled "Sky Sweden"... what a rip off!!!

      1. Overlordleo
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I was not aware that sky sport streamed to Sweden, but that was also way to expensive. All I want is to watch the bpl games on my computer with good quality for a reasonable price, but since it is so hard to find that am I forced to stream the game from free streaming sites with awful quality and tones of pop-ups 🙁

  8. Captain Shirokov
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Moreno looking very good so far.

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I really don't get why people think Lovren is a better pick

      1. Captain Shirokov
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Scored a few last year with the Saints, big move to Liverpool etc...

        Perfect example of a casual pick

        1. JK - Cønt ⭐
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          he scored exactly 1, against Liverpool

          1. Captain Shirokov
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Jesus, not sure what all the fuss is then. 😐

            1. JK - Cønt ⭐
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              I tell a lie

              2

              the other was that scrappy goal v United

    2. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Aye, he is. Mixing it up with Zaba...

    3. chrisjdgrady
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Yep I like him

    4. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      no question of his nailedness right? looking for a Kolarov replacement

      1. Captain Shirokov
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Definitely should be nailed.

  9. Fantasy Football Friend!
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    How do we work an apostrophe into Eto'o's name? that can't be right :/

  10. ratski
    • 14 Years

  11. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Dzeko looks so Lethargic...

  12. tm245
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I know he is a bit pricey but I might get Fernando in my FPL team to set a tone for the defenders and to free up my attackers to go forward.

  13. johnbarnes
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Jovetic is playing so deep...

    1. HUMZAH96
        11 years, 3 months ago

        True hope he goes up

    2. copps
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Moreno on the radar

    3. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      City don't look very threatening do they...

      1. Zombie
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        What do you expect? they are playing without Kolarov

      2. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        This isn't the performances we saw in 13-14

    4. The Finnisher
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Dzeko > Toure

    5. HUMZAH96
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Game needs a goal to open things up
