Having escaped any major injury concerns from Saturday’s action, Sunday has brought us a major worry with Sergio Aguero hobbling from the field after just 9 minutes of the clash with Southampton. While he walked from the pitch with assistance, seconds later he was stretchered from the sidelines.

The Argentine striker, well backed by Fantasy managers going into the Gameweek, appeared to twist his knee in a challenge with Nathaniel Clyne.

Aguero is currently owned by 32% of Fantasy Premier League managers, with 35% ownership in the Sky Sports game.

The latest from the City medical staff was that they were described as “cautiously optimistic” on the prognosis of Aguero’s injury. According to Sky Sports’ reports, the striker will undergo a scan at the club once the injury has settled when a more conclusive opinion of the problem can be gained.

Roberto Mancini confirmed post-match that his striker would undergo further scans with a full prognosis likely within 48-hours.

“I am worried about Sergio because anything around the knee is dangerous and this injury was so strange. We will have to wait, but we are not sure exactly what the problem is at this point.”

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

    The assist rule should be "the last player to make a deliberate contact with the ball just before the goal, if an opposing player gets that touch, no assist is awarded."

    Why is that hard??

      deliberately playing the ball 2 someone, not taking a deflection, or tackling a player and the ball deflecting to the goal scorer!

        He had the last touch from the attacking side, and that is what counts. I'm not a Yaya owner - with rivals that do have him - but the assist is clear by the rules.

        So if about 30% of 2mil people owned him, then that's about 600k people. Do 60k need to transfer him out for him to fall 0.1?

          Yep. It's 10% of ownership to in order to fall below starting value.

          But if he was, say 10.1m he would only need the price rise figure to fall in back to 10m. Which is usually somewhere in the region of 30,000 NTI/NTO

            I think the Aguero injury may well save Torres from dropping in price this week. A lot of people seem to have Aguero/Torres so they may well keep him for Newcastle and still get their Man Utd striker.

    Phew. Couple of assists from Yaya and Clichy have rescued an otherwise dire gameweek. Cracking game. Clyne looks a good pick. Just need Rooney, Rafael and Pienaar to bring my score up to respectability

      After seen Southampton play I think they might get a clean sheet v Wigan?
      Southampton have great fight in them.

      need the chelsea trio (unlikely)
      mata looked crap today. sloppy.

      hazard wasn't that good either (despite two assist), some selfish dribbling, bad decision making. but i don't think anyone will notice that except for his assists

      Rafael and Pienaar both? Seems unlikely.

    I believe FFS protocol dictates that I say "75 points with 4 to play is that good?"
