Sunday’s fare is dominated by the late kick-off, as Fantasy managers prepare for the return of Segio Aguero in anticipation of immediate rewards as City take on Arsenal. Before that, we have to show patience as West Ham host struggling Hull City in east London – a potentially coarse and bland starter before our lip-smacking main dish.

The Hammers still deserve our attention, however. Stewart Downing’s form continues to sparkle as his reputation of West Ham’s creator supreme blossoms. Andy Carroll is often the target for Downing’s probing passing and crossing. The big Geordie takes on a beleaguered Hull rearguard off the back of that untypical strike at Swansea; he’ll be looking to add his name to our Wildcard mix with another notable display.

The day is all about City and Aguero, however, with the Argentine expected to earn his first start since his being limited to just six minutes against Everton back in Gameweek 15. Prior to that fateful match, Aguero had fired 11 goals in nine league outings, making him indispensible as a Fantasy asset. Having regained fitness and returned to the turf, ironically against Everton last weekend, we’re now expecting Aguero to hit the ground running as the Gunners pay visit to the Etihad.

Alexis Sanchez may have other ideas. The Chilean arrives in Manchester fresh from a devastating 19-point haul against Stoke and will go head-to-head with Aguero in a battle of the South American destroyers. I’m putting a tenner on a James Milner hat-trick.

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

    More spanish players on the pitch than english players. 5 against 3.

    1. RabMac
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      That is because most English players suck and Spanish players far superior.

      1. Lord Flashheart

  13. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    City 70% possession and no goals. LVG's viloshovee is in the water in Manchester.

    1. ronmadpirlo
      • 12 Years

      Arsenal dangerous on counter attack

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

  22. Costa in Wengerland
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Arsenal playing coool

  23. Jimmers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    So Arsenal have arrived at the Etihad with the mindset of a team from the bottom half of the table

    1. Azerbaijan Shopping Centre
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      would u blame them

  24. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Arsenal? With defensive ability?

    THEY COULD RULE THE WORLD!

    1. RÏɠBY
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      barzagli & chiellini would make this happen

  25. ronmadpirlo
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Commentators aren't mentioning Aguero. Is he on the bench?

  26. Cojiro
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Dam it Wenger! Why aren't u bring your normal pig headed self and trying to play the 'Arsenal way' rather than your current clever way to set up against City.

  27. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Sanchez really needs to impress if he's going to get the Summer move to City he wants.

  28. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    SCENES!!!!

  29. Berbalove
