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. El-Kloppico

    2. Syd.

  8. Jamie_GAWA

    9 years, 8 months ago

    Early I know but

    Who do you think will be the most popular captain choice next week?

    1. BB-8
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Alexis 🙂

    2. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Defoe against Boro

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

      Zlatan

    4. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Firmino

    5. Trae44
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Will probably be Kun still

  9. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Who is everyone selling after today's matches?

    I'm on Vardy to Costa if the latter plays well against WHU

    1. BB-8
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Vardy to Kane/ Lukaku/Costa

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Kane was awful today though

        1. BB-8
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          But he has Palace next. Important to catch him at the right time. Last season it was bournemouth away

    2. Dougal McGuire
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      My plan if Gray blanked was to swap him for someone due a price rise with a decent GW2 fixture. Still seems like the way to go.

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Negredo I assume?

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

          Done exactly that already, Negredo will shoot up.

        2. Dougal McGuire
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Looks that way. I like him too, so I don't feel like it is a short term move.

          1. JÆKS ⭐
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Would have done the same if Vardy wasn't in my team

    3. Boydinho
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      im on Morgan to somebody

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Williams if fit looks great

  10. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Clichy is the new Alaba?

  11. Hibbo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Looking like 54 tonight for me as it stands.

    With Firmino, Shaw, and Hazard to go.

    I'll take that for day1.

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

      Very good.

      1. Hibbo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Strange day.

        Other picks I had in drafts like Ramirez and Capoue also delivered so hard to judge which was the best way as yet.

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Considering I am on 21 so would I

    3. Magic Man
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      very good, i'm around 6 behind you with the same to play 😀

    4. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Superb!

      1. Hibbo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers bud.

        You were a great help this week.

        It was much appreciated.

        I didn't go Ramirez but by all accounts he's looking a good selection.

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

    Sunderland fans louder than ours. Very annoying.

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

      Should give them something to cheer about then.

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

      Does that surprise you?

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

        Not really

  13. Bucky Barnes
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Buying defenders has to be the trickiest transfer to navigate
    Start spending too much and you end up with a David Luiz or a John Stones 😀

  14. MoeZe3bi
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    can someone explain how the Bonus Points System works? what are those numbers in brackets? for example im seeing aguero(33)

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

      BPS. Top 3 get bonus.

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Go to the HELP tab and check the Bonus point part. 😉

  15. Chaps Before Baps

    What are people doing with Andre Gray?

    A) Bench

    B) Start @ Liverpool (H)

    C) Transfer to _______

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

      B

      No obvious replacement yet

    2. Eden Azzzar
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A

    3. The Man Pastore
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      B

    4. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      B

    5. The Cloud Watcher
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Too early to transfer I think, so I will probably start him against Liverpool.

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

      C Negredo

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

        After one game? Behave yourself.

    7. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      B, no need to overreact right now unless you have a better option on the bench.

    8. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Play if LIV defense is still sh*t..
      Else bench.

  16. Magic Man
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Could Aguero lose his BAPs here? pls no x

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

    Decent, at 34 not including this one and got Aguero as (C),

    Annoyingly had about 12 on the subs bench as well.

    Still got Ibrah to come !

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

      And shaw!

  18. TheSaint
    • 10 Years

    Anyone know if Fer is nailed on for the next game.

  19. Dickie1898
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Pep has underestimated Sunderland, Moyes and the EPL with his approach to this game.

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

      No, this is how i plays the game.

  20. Syd.
    • 16 Years

    What site are people using to see BPS? Seems TotalFPL isn't updated from last season

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

      FPL site itself.

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

        Ah ok thanks. Never noticed!

    2. SuperMario

      What was the other site from last year? Can't for the life of me remember..

      1. Mattias
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  28. rozzo
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    City wont even come top 4 with that defence - especially John Stones

  29. 420king
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    current points: 33
    points on bench: 21

    thinking of quitting already 😀

  30. Mark-O
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Stones cannot replace Kompany. Therefore no Kompany means no CS.

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

      Stones isn't going to replace him though
