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.

      gutted as an arsenal fan.
      he's not playing for us, but a move in the PL was always going to hurt.
      i reckon he's just on the wrong side of his prime, but man u have the money and he's quality

      Apparently its a straight swap with no fee involved. A great deal!

        No plus 35m I think?

    aguero captain fail

    1. Isco Disco
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      No. Not yet.
      Remember he scored his 1st goal in the 42nd min before he scored 4 more in the 2nd half

  5. FPL ZB

    Danilo bandwagon didn’t really take off

  6. GXNG
    • 7 Years

    Silva looking dangerous..

  7. TomSaints

    How can Newcastle possibly hold out under this relentless pressure???

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      They won't

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      like they did for the 1st 20min i guess

  8. Rainer

    Aguero half asleep

  9. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Azpi and Jones fluked CSs, fully expect Newcastle to score with 3% possession here

  10. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Boring

  11. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights

    This Joselu looks a hand defender, what’s his price? Might get him in for Ogbonna

    1. Rover
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      5.5m a little too expensive for my liking

  12. Big4FPL

    Son to Silva rather than Mahrez feels tempting if he continues to look this threatening...

    1. Kermit Special
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      People need to stop ignoring Mahrez....

      1. VFORVANDETA
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        This

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Blank GWs would edge me towards Mahrez over Silva.

    3. Sánchez
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Silva won't be too regular now imo

    Awesome ambition here from Newcastle. City have pretty much won every game before kicking the ball. Every other team just bends over for them.

    1. AlCapwnUK
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      as much as defence is still the weakest part of City's team, i'm not sure if Joselu is the man to exploit it

  15. Football Heaven

    6 years, 3 months ago

    How more people don’t have chilwell is beyond me. Getting minutes, good cs and only 4.3. Even as a bench fodder he’s a must

    1. Dannyb
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      I may do Kenny to Chilwell.

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        I may do winner to chilwell.

        Well on my radar

    2. adidasOriginals
      • 8 Years

      he is nailed?

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      I'd like him, but there's always more important transfers to do.

      1. Football Heaven
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Fair point

    4. Root
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Doesn't he get rotated with Fuchs?

  16. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Newcastle is getiing it right so far

  17. LǝgleSs e|even

    How's Raheem looking?

    1. AlCapwnUK
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      like eventually being on the goal scoring end of a low cross, as always

      1. Aston-villain
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Sweaty goals

      You can forget about a cricket score here, Newcastle very organised

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        What's the lowest a cricket score has ever been?

        1. TheTinman
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Good point

          1. Epic Fail
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            Wasn't really a point, it's a genuine questions. I'm wondering if there have ever been really low cricket scores. 😀

          England 2-0 rained off

        Quick goal after HT and it'll all go tits up.

      3. FPL ZB
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        2/0 after the first over

    6. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years

      what a waste of a cAP kun.didnt expect this from him

      1. Sánchez
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Is it full time already?
        That went fast

      2. Dannyb
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Have you not watched him the last 10 games then?

    7. adidasOriginals
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Is Aguero past his prime?

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        I think so.

      2. Sánchez
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Yes (I've captained him but he is)

      3. AlCapwnUK
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        yep, but what a prime it was

      4. SEXY SALAH
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        I think something is bothering him mentally. Physically, he is in his prime right now

      5. Gobigorgohome
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Yes

      6. Norman Conquest
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        yes they should sign sanchez to replace him

      7. Rash
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        I think he don't suit peps style of play.. far from past his prime imo

    8. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Looks like Kane(C) instead of Kun looking good so far

    9. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Is Aguero hiding behind the defenders or what!
      Don't seem to try and get in front.

      1. Gobigorgohome
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Looks like he just does not care

    10. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Would be interesting to compare Joselu’s heat map to Otamendi

    11. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Silva is such a gem!

    12. Monkey Hanger

      Sane needs to find a new barber.

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        find a barber*

        Looks like something he has done himself in front of his bathroom mirror.
