→ The 2014/15 season was Sergio Aguero's best ever for Fantasy returns. Seven of his goals/assists and 36 of his FPL points came in two meetings with which club that year?

Feeling glum about Rooney prospects and wanted to check the following logic.

5th mid of JWP is poor and replacement would be Sterling so a big improvement

BUT

Not worth the hit as if Rooney is out will replace with a cheaper player and then upgrade JWP/sterling next week anyway ( probably Rooney & JWP to Hooper & YYT )

am I missing something here?
