LIV V MCI Team News: The Confirmed Line-Ups

The call — Teamsheets in: Gvardiol benched at Anfield — nearly 3 in 10 own him Josko Gvardiol is on the City bench for Liverpool v Manchester City, kick-off 4:30pm on 11 October. About 3 in 10 managers own him at £5.8m. That is the first thing to check in your team. If he is your starting defender, your first sub plays today.

One squad, picked before a ball was kicked and run for five gameweeks on three transfers — no hits taken. Scored on FPL’s own results.

Your name and your FPL team name. That is all it takes, and we will have your answer before you have finished reading this sentence.

No FPL password, ever. We only read what FPL already publishes.

Haaland starts, as the 7-in-10 who own him at £15.6m expected. Guéhi (£6.0m, about 2 in 10), O'Reilly (£6.3m, about 1 in 10) and Donnarumma (£5.5m) all start in the City back line. Cherki starts at £7.8m — about 3 in 10 own him. Semenyo starts at £8.4m.

For Liverpool, Virgil starts (£6.5m, about 1.5 in 10). Wirtz starts at £7.3m. Salah is not in the squad list on either sheet — he is not in this XI.

Four starters almost nobody owns. Munoz (£6.5m, under 1 in 10) and Barcola (£8.0m, about 2 in 100) start in the Liverpool midfield. Anderson (£6.3m) and Enzo (£6.9m) start for City — fewer than 4 in 100 own either. None of this is a transfer prompt before kick-off. It is confirmation of minutes for anyone who already holds them.

The elevens. Liverpool, 4-2-3-1: A.Becker; Araujo, Jacquet, Virgil, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Munoz, Wirtz, Barcola; Koumas. Manchester City, 4-1-4-1: Donnarumma; Matheus N., Rúben, Guéhi, O'Reilly; Anderson; Semenyo, Enzo, Cherki, Ndiaye; Haaland.

Doku is also on the City bench alongside Gvardiol. Frimpong, Chiesa and Ngumoha are among the Liverpool substitutes.

The call is the one the sheets force. Haaland starts — if he is your captain, he stays your captain. Guéhi, O'Reilly, Virgil, Cherki, Semenyo — confirmed starters all start in your XI. Gvardiol sits. If your bench order does not have a playing defender behind him, that is three points you cannot get back after 4:30pm.
