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.

                Don't have access to the member stats but I don't think they say it all. Surely he had some great chances but it was still Hull city and for 10.0 or less there are a lot of options out there. I'm def selling Vardy too so A for me (although I'm not sold on Kane)

                  I would use the 1m to upgrade Oscar to Eriksen/Alli for Spurs cover. You already own Hazard & I wouldn't want to get rid of Vardy so soon.

                  Really not sure I'd jump on to Rondon. Wba just not attacking enough.

                  D, wait until Monday night and reassess your options. C looks sound unless someone is injured.

                  C for now for me..

                  Vardy could have easily scored twice today. Gray I'm less sure on but going to see how Liverpool go tomorrow..

                  same, however still may keep Vardy for 2 home fixtures, especially with Arsenal's defensive troubles and Leicester going out to prove a point.

                  He got many chances and looked very threatening
                  He bummed Arsenal last season

                    He didn't look very threatening though. He looked god awful. Was gifted some chances, was invisible for the rest.

                  It's not working for me at the moment either. Not sure what is wrong. Maybe it's because it is the first FPL gameweek and there were problems with it's site earlier today. I will try again later, I advise that you do the same.
