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

  7. SC not pearls before swine
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    First FPL season I've been calm with transfers (none so far) and it's paying off. Jovetic keeper here!

  11. Phaze 1
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

  12. TD Champ
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Dzeko ffs

  13. Spencer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I brought the wrong Man City forward into my Sky team then. 😳

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

      How come? 50 minutes left, could easily have a Dzeko goal. 🙂

    2. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Plenty of time Spencer. I hope.

  14. Hibbopotamus
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I'm still probably going to drop him, but for now, yeeeeeee

  15. Matt Sk
    • 14 Years

  16. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Thank god it wasn't dzeko

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

    4.7% of managers will be happy with that goal

  18. asquishypotato
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    That horrible feeling when you have Jovetic in your team as a Liverpool fan...

    1. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Kop that, as they say.

  19. Gilbo88
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Think Jovetic goal no assist. Might keep him in my side for another week

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

    Lovren assist 100%. Not Silva

  21. 4vets
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Bugger.

  22. Somalion
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Moreno switched off.

    1. SW6
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Neville is going to crucify him at HT for that I reckon.

      1. Somalion
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Deservedly so really, quite poor to be so unaware of your man in the box.

  23. Slash
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Mata > Fab ... Crazy?

    1. Sleep Talk
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Soo last week. Everyone are doing Fab to Mata now.

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'd still do it, Di Maria will impact on mata's output

      1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Improve it

      2. Slash
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Over the season Mata v Fab will be interesting..

  24. Misunderstood Genius
    • 12 Years

    1. Red Devil Swede
      • 13 Years

      Very well done!

  25. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    From Sporting Life live commentary . ''35 mins Sterling tries this skill this time, but Clichy is more than equal to it, and puts the ball out for a throw. Balotelli not looking overly impressed'' . It annoys me when they make something out of nothing like this

  26. johnbarnes
    • 11 Years
