Attentions now turn to the Etihad where Pep Guardiola makes his Premier League bow.

David Moyes’ Sunderland are the guests and potential party poopers, although the odds do seem stacked against them.

The Black Cats are in transition under their new manager, while City boast such attacking riches there can be no doubt that they head into today’s clash as overwhelming favourites.

Expectant Fantasy managers will be looking to Sergio Aguero to capitlise – the Argentine heads into the teatime kick-off as the most popular captain choice in the Gameweek and with over 40% ownership.

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

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I think it will eventually become more important than the results themselves, like it is in the US with other sports

      1. davies
        • 11 Years

        1. La Roja
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah, Valencia is a good attacking threat even if they concede

          1. Evs

            • 16 Years

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Enough to build a wall I reckon.

        1. The Donald
          • 9 Years

          😀

      2. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️

    couldnt do all my transfers with the website crash...

    - luckily captaincy was on Kun but

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Lets see how Uniteds defense looks tomorrow

    2. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Head up, it's a marathon, not a sprint, you can do it.

  6. davies
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Good defensive performance from Sunderland

    Looks like Kone will be a decent pick for 4.5 whether he stays or goes to Everton

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I thought Defoe looked surprisingly sprightly for a pensioner as well.

      1. davies
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah but won't touch him at 7.5, I would if 6.5

    2. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Donald Love at 4m

      1. davies
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Won't be first choice apparently

  7. Numb
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Stones could sneak into the baps after 60 mins

    1. Mr. Grv
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Be strong Stones

    2. WolvesOnTop
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Love the optimism

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I don't have him sadly. Rare I know.

    3. The Donald
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Hopefully

  8. FPL Puppy
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is Foster and Capoue on 3 bonus? In that case, I will have a total of 30 points on my bench. 😀 😀

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years

      Same and Amat, just enjoy the price rises 😀

      Yip, hope so Toad.......think a lot of us had a nightmare 🙁
      I done Lamela - Alli
      Redmond - Tadic
      Capoue - Hojbjerg
      Ramariz - Feghouli

      1. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        No Mahrez, Foster and Lamela screwed me over this week. All were nailed in my team at one point. 🙁

  10. AdamB
    • 9 Years

    Hi everyone i'm not meaning to gloat its more a comment at my own progression, i currently have almost as high score as i got the first 2 gameweeks of last season (on 38 points currently got around 45 last season over two gameweeks).

    I hope your all doing well as good if not better, we all deserve it after last season 🙂

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'm not. 👿

      😉

    2. MarvelouSuccess
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      On 45 points without BAPs. On 62 with BAPs.

  12. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years

    Projected gw rank: 1 😎

    1. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
      • 9 Years

      Not unless you TC Sergio.

    2. TorresMagic™

      Lots of people are getting 1.

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Really? 🙄

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Anyone around 50

  13. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Looks like a great start for most of FFS 🙂

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Redmond and Foster are 2 big reasons

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Aguero (c)

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Does it

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        City CS and Aguero 3 baps would help.

    3. Mr. Grv
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      safe score 40 ???

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Decent start.

    4. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Need another Aguero goal to cement that really

    5. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      If I only had one of Lamela or Redmond

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Lamela or Negredo* Don't care about Redmond

    6. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Imagine if we all hadn't benched Capoue & Amat

      1. FPL Puppy
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        *Foster, Capoue, Amat & Evans 😉

      2. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        This

    7. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Not me... 🙁

    8. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Better start this year nevertheless for me.

    9. st4rt__
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Not for me Clive.

  14. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Mahrez and Davis to Sterling and Lamela for -4 looks good.

    Would keep stupid Deulofeu in that case.

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      You have Davis?

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah, site crashed when I wanted to switch to Ramirez.

    2. FPL Puppy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Why Sterling??

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Looks lively

    3. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'd keep Mahrez if he's on pens.

      Leicester could easily get between 5 and 10 pens with Musa, Gray, Vardy and himself running at defences.

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Fair enough, but I don't like how Mahrez and Leicester in general looked.

    4. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Is Davis 5.5m?

      Why not Feghouli or Ramirez?

      -4 this early is silly imo

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yup.

        I have Feghouli. He is on my bench and would bench Davis for next GW.

  15. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Wanna watch MOTD tonight but not fond of seeing Linekar in his undies. Hopefully he doesn't crap them live on TV... again

  16. davies
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Capoue looks a cracking pick considering his price and that he's playing #10 behind a pair of great strikers in a decent team

    1. George James
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Was he really playing CAM?

  17. itwaswritten
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Wait. I can still put Valencia in tomorrow, right? I have him benched right now.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Good luck with that.

      1. itwaswritten
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        First time playing FPL. Can I or I have to wait till GW2?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          No manual subs in FPL. Autosubs only allowed.

  18. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Mahrez to ?????

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Why?

    2. Optimus.
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Arsenal

    3. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I thought he looked alright.

      Quite dangerous.

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Really? I thought he was woeful. So many missed passes.

  19. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    What's a decent score right now?

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      30ish I'd say

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Aight I'm on 32 atm

    2. Rath
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      27+

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Aight that's good

    3. Del Griffith
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      High 30's is decent enough

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Falling short 🙁

    4. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      30+
      40+ better
      50+ very nice.

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Haven't seen a 50+ yet. Cheers mate.

        1. TorresMagic™

          Villa Ronka is 46 pre Aguero baps.

            • 10 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

    5. MarvelouSuccess
      • 13 Years

          1. The Truth Is...
              9 years, 8 months ago

              I can see team names but no link to open their team up

            9 years, 8 months ago

            Aguero, Zlat & Grey my strikers.

            I think mose round here have 2 out of those 3.

          That + a Hazard goal would justify my Kun exclusion.. Fingers crossed

        Happy so far with Redmond, Lamela and Aguero (C). Looking forward to Zlatan a lot more now that Kane and Vardy blanked

        Can anyone give me a quick summary of Spurs?

        How did Alli and Kane look?
        Did Lamela actually look dangerous besides his goal?

          Alli Kane were average but Everton defended really well today. Lamela done well. But Spurs played so much better once Jansen came on.

          imho Alli look isolated and pretty lost

          Kane not getting enough supply to provide a decent threat (if any). Shifted to the left to accommodate Jansen but still not looking dangerous at all. Poor game by both of them in short, but Kane's staying in my team for now

          Lamela for me was very bad besides his one goal and another goal-scoring chance - didn't really connect with the rest of his teammates

        C'mon Aguero!!!

        After being at goodison today; very happy i chose Eriksen over Alli. Alli was sacrificied into the pivot when Dier was replaced by Janssen and he didn't get into many goalscoring opportunities. Although Lamela scored it was the only chance he got and he wasn't getting into many good positions during the game; i don't expect him to get many more this season. Deulofeu was sharp and should of had a goal but as expected, ran out of gas early in the second half and was substituted. Barkley is one to watch. Expect another tough challenge trying to break WBA at the Hawthornes next week. up the ev.

          Gerard against Evans? Yes please. 😉

          Eriksen looked poor imo, Alli looked alright, lamela looked very good...

        3. Magic Man

          9 years, 8 months ago

          Also forgot to add, Kane dropped deep when Janssen came on and turned into more of a creator. Janssen was doing all the closing down and played quite well after coming on, dangerous.

          Cheers mate.

          But I don't see Alli dropping deep again unless Spurs are trailing and HAVE to sub off Dier.
