Manchester City travel to Liverpool on Sunday 11 October for a Gameweek 6 Premier League fixture, with kick-off at Anfield set for 16:30 (UK). The FPL deadline for the match falls at 11:00 on Saturday 10 October.
Rayan Cherki (£7.8m) is City's standout Fantasy asset heading into the fixture, sitting as the second-highest FPL points scorer at the club this season behind only Erling Haaland (£15.6m). Cherki has accumulated 34 points, averaging 6.5 per start, and ranks third among all midfielders in the game.
Cherki has registered nine shots in the league so far — one every 34.2 minutes on average — with only Haaland recording more shots in the City squad across the opening five gameweeks. He also leads the team in chances created with 12, three of which have been classified as OPTA big chances.
On the Liverpool side, Alexander Isak (£9.1m) is the Reds' top Fantasy scorer this season with 33 points, but the forward is a doubt for Gameweek 6 after returning early from international duty with Sweden.
Among lower-owned options, Everton's Thierno Barry (£5.7m) scored in Gameweek 5 and has registered 17 shots this season — a total bettered only by Haaland among forwards. Brighton's Charalampos Kostoulas (£5.6m) has produced back-to-back double-digit FPL returns, contributing two goals, two assists and three bonus points across his last two matches.
