Foden starts for Man City as Guardiola benches Mahrez

Fantasy managers will get another look at Phil Foden‘s (£5.2m) credentials as he prepares to start against Liverpool in Gameweek 32+.

Interest in the Manchester City midfielder has abounded since the Premier League’s restart and that is sure to increase after making his second start since Gameweek 30+.

The last time he featured from the beginning, Foden backed himself a brace so the fact that Manchester City’s team-sheet appears to have deployed him on the flanks of the front-three is very exciting indeed.

He is joined there by Raheem Sterling (£11.7m) and Gabriel Jesus (£9.6m), while Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m) must make do with a place on the bench.

Unsurprisingly, this season’s Fantasy darling Kevin De Bruyne (£10.7m) starts once again, while Eric Garcia (£4.5m) returns to the back-four.

Predictably, there are fewer shocks in the Liverpool line-up than Pep Guardiola’s.

Mohamed Salah (£12.6m) and Sadio Mané (£12.5m) flank Roberto Firmino (£9.5m) in attack while Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.8m) and Andrew Robertson (£7.0m) offer their usual threat from the full-back positions.

Manchester City XI: Ederson; Mendy, Laporte, Garcia, Walker; Rodrigo, Gundogan, De Bruyne; Sterling, Jesus, Foden.

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Robertson, van Dijk, Gomez, Alexander-Arnold; Fabinho, Henderson, Wijnaldum; Mané, Firmino, Salah.

    Could be 5 or 6 nil already if Kun was playing

    Foden shot cleared off the line

    A) Son -> Mahrez
    B) Son, Robinson -> Mahrez, Maguire
    C) Son, Guendouzi -> Mahrez, Foden
    D) Mane, Guendouzi -> Mahrez, Pulisic

    In no way feel like these are representative stats for the coming SPU-EVE match: Kane has scored 8 goals in his last 5 matches vs Everton in the PL. To make it a bit less one-sided: also 8 in his last 7 matches. Since this was Kane in his prime and Everton now seems defensively solid, this may mean nothing. But i feel like a punt so Bergwijn > Foden, Jimmy > Kane is exciting at least.

      Man, u kidding? Check Kane stats, his xG are so low for the last 2 seasons. That injury in 2018 broke him, when he forced his recovery.
      That stats "8 goals in last 5 vs Eve"... It's all about that match where Spurs won 2-6. It means nothing. Kane are bad, spurs are SO bad in attack, they can't create and score past good defensive teams.

        That 6-2 was a brace. He got 2 more braces vs them, but i get your point. Even for his prime these stats are amazing. I'm not playing for high Rank anymore anyway so just feel like i'm going to go with some punts.

          I'll tell u some differential - Antonio. Also Fabianski good one for GK.
          Antonio 0.5 xG + 0.2 xA /90, playing OOP, good fixtures, good form, motivation

    Salah & DCL -> Mahrez & Rashford for free?

    Is the Ox playing centre back or did they change formation?

    1. Rainer

    My WC „Power MID 5” might be:
    KDB - Mahrez - Foden - Martial - Bruno

    So do we think Salah will start next match against Villa? They will want to respond after this but Klopp could do massive rotation to get rid of complacency.

    City could have had 3 goals in the first 6mins of this 2nd half. Kind of surreal seeing Pool being dominated like this

    Anyone ever looked at KDB's FPL returns against other so called "Big 6" sides. It's incredible. He is such a big game player!
