Dugout Discussion – Man City vs Newcastle

Saturday ends at the Etihad Stadium where Manchester City bid to recover from their defeat at Anfield with three points over Newcastle United.

In Fantasy terms we have three of the top seven captain picks on show in the City attack.

Sergio Aguero leads the way with 581,000+ (10.3%) backers who will hope that he can deliver on an incredible record against the Magpies.

The Argentinian averages a goal or assist every 31 minutes against Newcastle in home matches, though he has just a single goal in his last four Gameweeks.

Kevin De Bruyne sports 178,000 armbands (3.1%) as he goes into the game with three assists in his last five; his last goal came back in Gameweek 18.

Meanwhile, Raheem Sterling – who was surprisingly sold by 108,000 ahead of Gameweek 24 – has the support of 152,000 managers as he bids to add to his tally of nine goals on home turf.

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

        Wouldn't mind an Aguero or Kun goal

        3. El-Kloppico
          • 8 Years

          one each would be better.

          Kun assist for Aguero would be good too

        6. james 101
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Aguero scoring off a kun assist would be nice.

          A neat 1-2

          Or would that be 1-1?

              6 years, 3 months ago

              He also got subbed in the 79th minute against Huddersfield and kept a clean sheet even though they conceded after he got subbed.

            You expect teams to attack Man City at the Etihad?

            1. Rik Waller
              • 6 Years
              6 years, 3 months ago

              Can't score a goal if you don't attack mate. Are they going for a 0-0?

              1. Sailboats

                They would absolutely love a 0-0 at the Etihad...

                  6 years, 3 months ago

                  Of course. But you seriously think they're gonna keep City out?

              Yes, Liverpool showed that is the most effective way

              1. Postman Ty
                • 9 Years
                6 years, 3 months ago

                But no other team in the league can play like Liverpool so it doesn't really matter.

              Ohio. Maybe he kicked it so high that it split in outer space and formed two new balls. Things get really weird that high up. Event Horizon, anyone?
