With the fall-out from Sergio Aguero’s injury reverberating around the Fantasy Football community, it’s time to distract ourselves from our return to the drawing board and resume the Gameweek action.

A pair of Premier League encounters await, with events beginning at the Boleyn Ground as Swansea City clash with West Ham. A battle of two in-form teams harbouring top six ambitions, the Hammers go into this match with just one defeat in the last eight, while the Swans’ have also suffered just one setback in their previous six league outings. Fantasy managers will of course be hoping that the 50% owned Gylfi Sigurdsson can help rescue the Gameweek with midfield returns, while Wilfried Bony will likely be auditioning as the potential Sergio Aguero replacement, once the City’s striker’s prognosis is confirmed.

Later today, Villa meet Leicester City in a midlands derby that, while bereft of Fantasy talent, could yet prove of interest with Christian Benteke now presenting an option up top. The Belgian returned to the scoresheet to earn the three points at Palace in midweek and, should he also put the Foxes to the sword, there’s little doubt that Benteke will be another name considered in the light of Aguero’s injury scare.

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

    No no no, I insist, buy Lukaku instead of Bony.

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 days ago

      costs too much more for roughly same production as Bony & Benteke (cue hat-trick)

      1. Somalion
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 2 days ago

        Agreed completely.

    2. El Cube
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 days ago

      I agree. I can see him scoring in the upcoming fixtures

  2. Phaze 1

    Aguero and Bartley --> Bony and Zab for free?

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 days ago

      yeah... sure... wait and watch Benteke first to decide on your B's

    2. Jax

    3. Prime
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 days ago

      Icelandic talents move to better competitions very early, mostly to the UK.

    4. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 days ago

      There's an Iceland branch in Reading

    5. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 days ago

      Think Reading is where he started playing in UK,
      But you already knew this.

  9. davies
    • 11 Years

        2. davies
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 2 days ago

          None of that.

  10. Wouter
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 days ago

    How does Aguero + Boyd > Bony + Mirallas look?

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 days ago

      You can't just go selling the likes of Boydinho

      1. Wouter
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 days ago

        Haha haven't played him once this season and with rotation coming up it seems a decent transfer.

        Also considering Aguero + Boyd > Lukaku (or Bony) + Eriksen

    2. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 days ago

  12. Professor Abel X
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 days ago

    All I want for my birthday is a Villa win (and a clean sheet would be nice).

    In 2008 my dreams were realised when I got to watch this thriller:

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/7752881.stm

    Ashley "World Class" Young was my hero that day...

    1. Griezlad
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 days ago

      Who would of known Fellani and Young would be playin at ManUtd

    2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 days ago

      A boring nil nil would be fine but a hutton assist and Guzan pen save would be better !

    3. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 days ago

      "He's about 8 ½ stone wet through but he's got the heart of a lion"

      I miss that version of Ashley Young

  14. davies
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 days ago

    Bony"s average position in this game will be ridiculous.

    He's like a third CB.

    1. SöundLight 30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 days ago

      Nice analogy!

  15. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 days ago

    I have wilfried Bony. i should be happy but last week if I did nothing I would be better off.

    Terrible transfers made

    Montero out Eriksen In

    Rooney out Kane in - 4 point hit

    Montero got an assist flipping rooney will prob get a hatrick now 🙂

  16. simonb94

    Can you survive without a city player?

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 days ago

      Yes, especially if the city is Leicester.

    2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 days ago

      Well I only got aguero in three weeks ago so yeah.

      But the question is what city player do you get if kun is out Hart/kompany/dzeko/jovetic/silva

      All except hart are injury/rotation doubts

      1. simonb94
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 days ago

        Don't you think you need now Dzeko or jovetic? Cause city has the best fixtures coming
