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.

    20 shots for city today. Sterling and KDB should have came out with double figures.

      Lowton assist comes on for me. Lad has been rotting on my bench for months.

  6. FC Hakkebøf

    I own Ederson, Jones and Pogba but all the whine definetely weighs it up! Hilarious

    Into 3 mins of stoppage time....

    You could all see it. Kyle Walker has no idea what to do on a pitch when the opposition has the ball.

    Ant that is why ManCity have little chance in champions league. There are 5 or 6 teams in europe that are able to hold the ball in possession even against ManCity, and fools like Walker are a huge liability in such situations. Might as well switch to a three centre half defense and having regular RM and LM in the lineup.

      If City play Barca, Messi and Alba are going to expose him like never before.

    That Lowton assist would've been very nice about three and a half months ago!

  10. Zilla

    Kun in the last 4 matches scored 5 goals and 1 assist and people are saying they can't wait to sell him? Absolutely mad.

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      You must be new here.

      1. Zilla
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        I know that people here are so reactionary but cm'on this is non-sense.

    2. Over Midwicket

      People with Kun won't do well this season, waste of money.

      1. Zilla
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Doubt this was what you think when he scored the hat-trick.

  11. It’s gonna Ben Mee

    Great game by Burnley

  12. RashFraud

    Martial (c). Off the bench to score a brace?

  13. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    YCs for Mee Long Cork

  14. Ruinenlust

    I warned you about Aguero!

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

  15. Differentiator

    6 years, 3 months ago

    Who am I?

    Have a class player in Martial, been smashing it at LW all season
    Spend £500k a week on an energiser battery
    Push Martial to the RW against Spurs
    Drop Martial when he's crap on the RW and complain about his players

    Kun most captained in top 10k. Sanchez captain punt could pay off.

  20. Pieterke30

    Just saw Lowton replaced Bardsley at half time. Time to get rid, he lost his place?

    Or did he get injured?

    Thx lads

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 7 Years

      Looked like a knee injury.

        Shit, thats worse.
