Dugout Discussion – Burnley vs Man City

The Gameweek begins under the rain at Turf Moor, as Burnley host champions-elect Manchester City.

For Fantasy managers, this immediately puts key assets and – for many – the Gameweek captain – under scrutiny.

Sergio Aguero takes on the Clarets on the back of a six-point return in midweek and a 17-point blast against Newcastle last weekend.

The Argentine has boosted his ownership by 295,000 managers ahead of the early kick-off, having scored both City goals in the corresponding fixture last season.

Kevin De Bruyne was rested in that match but starts today as he bids to extend his compelling form that has delivered a goal and five assists in his last six Gameweeks. However, he has produced just a single goal and assist in his last six on the road.

Raheem Sterling’s away record – with two goals and three assists in that same six-match spell – is stronger, though he boasts just a single goal in his last five Gameweeks.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    That's why Mourinho is a crap manager. Toys out the pram again and now Pogba probably hates him.

    Next step will be public humiliation in the press.

      Or he's just having a rest.

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I think that's good. Scholes said he never felt like his position was secure under SAF, and that every week he'd play his heart out so he'd be in the team next week. The egos need to be stomped imo.

    Jones news meant a Chilwell panic buy for -4 as I had no subs. Should have gone Francis instead but wanted Daniels this week. At least Sanchez captain and Lingard are starting.

    My triple up of Sterling, KDB, (K)un going well

    Sterling played well. Got into good positions and was unlucky not to finish. Have a shower and enjoy the rest of your weekend mate.
