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

    Patience is key:

    Hazard, Mata, Jovetic 😎 and 2 FTs left

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

      You'll need those 2 FTs to get rid of Mata and Jovetic next week 😎

      Ah yeah! But I find myself in the position of not knowing to do with the transfers...

      1. Bøwstring The Carp
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I've Chester and Huth in defence so I might sort that out and bring Sterling or Ramsey in for Silva, not been too impressed

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

          Yeah, Silva for me too. But surely can't lose him before Stoke at home?

  3. The Wayfarer
    • 12 Years

    YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

  4. A.T

    Stupid pass that. Should've gone to Dzeko. Jovetic got lucky. 🙁

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

      Problem is... Dzeko ain't done anything 🙁

      I needed the brace from Dzeko... Not Jovetic

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

      I was waiting for it 😡

  5. RoyaleBlue
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Why did I let myself sell jovetic just cause he dropped arhhhh now caant take advantage of a price rise.

  6. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    So, Dzeko will lose his place to Aguero when fit.

    1. Cesc's old mullet
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      not necessarily : Dzeko offers a different profile than Aguero. Jovetic's style is much more similar to Aguero's

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

    He can't take Jove off now, needs to get his hat trick surely 😀

    1. dr manhattan
      • 16 Years

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years

  8. sinik
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    I'll keep peace with this Jovetic haul if Yaya adds a jammy pen haha 😆

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

      Yaya to let Jovetic have it to complete the hat trick 😉

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

        hahaha that would totally happen 😆

  9. Tim Canterbury
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Johnson could have headed that

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

      Johnson and Skrtel should have stepped out when everyone else did on the through ball before the cross.

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

    Surely Pelli will try Aguero and Jove together

  11. Nice 2 Michu
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    he's got to get a hatrick, everyone will pass to him,

          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          I gues hyperbole is my forte. I'll captain him next week actually, great differential

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

            Haha fair play

        repost

        lets just relax and take a minute to LOL @ all jovetic sellers

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

          I kept him, but why repost that drivel?

      5. Test Eagles
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Hold your horses, Dzeko hat trick incoming!

        The good news is that Aguero isn't essential and can play off the bench still.

        Now Edin... let's get the party started sunshine.

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

        Genuinely happy for Jove owners, it was a big punt given Aguero lurking and it's lovely for something like that to come off.

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

          +1 Same to Lamela owners. Gotta applaud FPL flair

        2. Kings of Lyon ★
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          agreed

        3. darko
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Yes, agree and for holding onto him as well. Not sure why so many god rid after one game, after picking him in the first place?

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

          Sod off 😉

        Argghh - I'm in the sold Jovetic after week 1 club... One day I'll get it right 😉

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

          But ? You picked him for a reason to start with so surely you gotta give him a couple games at least ?

        2. Camp No No
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          😆 blame yourself. sure you will one day get it right, statistically that must happen. But that one day is little comfort to you after having screwed your team 30 odd times à season.
