RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Markovic has made 10 Premier League appearances for Liverpool this season.
Markovic has been in and out of manager Brendan Rodgers' starting XI over the last month but that's likely in part to the compressed schedule over the holidays. He's often used in limited minutes off the bench and his value is curbed as a result.

Markovic, as expected, has been included in the squad for Liverpool's match against Manchester City on Monday after being deemed fit last week.
Markovic starts his Liverpool career on the bench but will likely have the opportunity to make his debut if manager Brendan Rodgers is looking for a more attack minded presence in the midfield as the match wears on.

Markovic (hamstring) has been deemed fit by manager Brendan Rodgers, and will come into the squad for Liverpool's Monday clash with Manchester City.
Markovic's role in the squad is a bit uncertain given a crowded Liverpool attack, which may relegate the midfielder to an impact substitute role initially. However, the 20-year-old Serbian is a highly touted young prospect so it's only a matter of time before Rodgers finds a place for him in the starting XI.

Markovic missed Liverpool's final preseason friendly against German side Borussia Dortmund, as he is dealing with a hamstring injury that has put him in doubt for the Reds' season opener.
Markovic has missed several of Liverpool's preseason matches and now looks in question for the season opener against Southampton. Expectations for the 20-year-old winger are sky high following a £20 million move to Merseyside from Benfica, but fantasy owners may have to wait to see how manager Brendan Rodgers deploys the youngster in a crowded, high octane, Liverpool midfield.
