Could switch Gomez for Digne.

Can live with the city rotation and I actually think Dilva will be the one who rotates more with Sane.

Lanzini is a huge punt but has started so far in pre season and at 2.8m I think he could tick over at ppm. Bit agree huge risk.

Any thoughts on a gomez replacement. I looked at Guilbert at villa for 2m will be starting rb and jas already shown in pre season he likes to get forward.

Lanzini scored just short of 100 points from 27 games in 2017/18 season averaging 3.5 per game, so for 2.8 mil he is indeed a bargain this season, assuming he's in Pellegrinis plans of course, which he seems to be. So yes, Zlatan, you have missed something with him I reckon πŸ˜‰. Certainly worth a gamble to startπŸ‘

Bilva and Kdb won't get rotated... They are first choice alongside laporte and ederson. sterling too bit is likely to be rotated more than the others. Also lanzini should play, and is worth a punt until/unless another becomes apparent.

Also price prohibits but I don't think Liverpool will be as prolific defensively as last season. Read some underlying stats and it seems they were lucky to get quite so many clean sheets. But city were justified. Just feel 3 Liverpool defence may prove frustrating.

All valuable comments

So

Alisson > Ederson
Gomez > Laporte
Sterling > Siggy

That seems decent enough

I like the iterations of your team, although I feel you need Mane or Salah.

I rather like it, but would beef-up the defence a bit (get at least one LIV) by downgrading the midfield

Still tinkering.

Ederson

Stones
Zinchenko
Emerson
Gomez

Kdb
Sterling
Salah
Lanzini
Barkley

Kane

What do people think?? Its a toss up between stones & slab head and Barkley & Diogo Jota

I think I would start with jota over Barkley. Also stones over maguire. City better as a team so better defensively for now.

I have very similar but think 4 5 1 to start

Ederson

Wan bissaka
Emerson
Guilbert
Zinchenko

Bilva
Kdb
Sterling
Salah
Lanzini

Kane

I know I am taking a bit of a risk with no lpool full backs. However, the 4 defenders I have picked all like to get forward so I am hoping they can pick up the odd KC. If I need Lpool coverage I can downgrade midfield to get in an enabler when it becomes apparent who is good vfm.

That's a big midfield and lots of eggs in the Citeh basket. Defence surprisingly Ok given that but I'd still be tempted to pick between KdB and Bilva and upgrade a defender from day 1.

(not really looked into Emerson's prospects - assume you have)

Emerson has been playing pre season. Chelsea forums all saying he should/ will start over alonso. Lampard likes playing quick full backs.

I agree I am very heavy in midfield and could probably ditch bilva
