FPL Gameweek 11 – head-to-head comparisons: Diogo Jota vs Phil Foden
Diogo Jota (£6.8m) continues to increase in value having emerged as the secret fourth answer to the question: who is Liverpool’s best front three? The Portuguese was taken off midway through the second half of their match against Ajax on Tuesday which suggests he is likely to start against his former side Wolves and he has something to prove here. Despite fruitful seasons with Nuno Espirito Santo’s side, Jota was often a super sub and could not get out from underneath Raul Jimenez’s shadow there.
Phil Foden (£6.5m) has found himself utilised in a similar way recently but impressed against Burnley last weekend and could find himself on the bench again to start off against Fulham after he played the full 90 minutes against Porto on Tuesday. Nevertheless, the “old club factor” sees us pick Jota over the City youngster in any case. Jota has scored in four of his last five league matches and will should sparkle on Sunday.
Verdict: Diogo Jota
