Dugout Discussion – Man City vs Sunderland

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.

    Who would you be more keen to offload - Gray or Townsend?

      The funny thing is... We choice the likes of Amat, Capoue and co. (maybe not Evans), with the express intention of putting your budget on the pitch and avoiding benching dilemmas.

      Suppose I've beeen reminded in GW1 why I should have just played Fostter and bought Jaku for the bench. 😐

          We did very well, aside from the goal which the cross should not have come in, we looked quality. I reckon an EVE defender will be one to own for the next few weeks mate especially with the addition of Williams. I suspect Baines will be on penalties and he will have a share of the free kicks that favour his left foot.

        You can't. Valencia will only play if someone among your starting XI plays 0 minutes.

      Hows it going guys? Feeling pretty happy today if KDB can stay out of the points and Stones gets a clean sheet!
      Annoyed with myself for not considering Barkley but other than that I can't complain with how today has gone.

      Should've played all my bench players, only person to do something in my XI is Aguero and I thought Vardy (C) would smash Leicester 🙁

      Love how offended people get when you post a cocky high score, is it that hard to ignore it?

      Is Redmond a better pick than Tadic? Tadic seemed to play well but Redmond seems to have a better chance of getting points due to his OOP
