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.

    Strange having Foster Capoue and Amat on my bench and still being pretty satisfied. Makes a welcome change from the usual GW1 nighmare!

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

      I'm not pleased at all. Benched both Foster and Evans and chose Heaton instead.
      On the plus side, people will jump on Capoue, Amat and Foster which means more team value for me/us. 🙂

      1. Mr. Blonde
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah only one I'm slightly annoyed about is Heaton over Foster - oh well. Exactly, think Capoue is a must have at his price in his new role, could see some big rises. And everyone loves a 4.0!

      9 years, 8 months ago

      Capoe would've been on my bench 95% of the time. Would've been nice to have him for bragging rights and increased TV, but could be a bench nightmare. He was in my team until Weds night, but decided to go for Ramirez.

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

    Cant understand how theres 58% without Aguero.

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

      Shh let it be 🙂

    2. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      In their eyes he's too expensive, but everyone with a bit of sense knows he's worth the money.

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

        He's literally guaranteed points

    4. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      His price. An extra 3/4m to spend around the squad

    5. Piggs Boson

      Zlatan effect

    6. Mr. Blonde

        • 15 Years

        Thank you kind sir

    2. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yep i might even be able to save a free transfer this year instead of wild carding.Watson to Capoue is tempting though.

      1. Lanley Staurel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        A free transfer after GW1 is a beautiful thing.

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

    Weird to think 60% of teams don't have Aguero

    1. YankeeDoodleDandy
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Mostly casuals who have Kante

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

    How did Ville Ronka's team do and who's he got?

    1. Cecil The Lion
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      TM's got it but he's going to act like a 13-yr old about it 😛

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years

      On 45, has Mahrez. Firmino and Shaw left

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

        Link?

      2. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Mahrez?

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

    Somehow Aguero is a differential in my cash league. Only four people out of 11 have him.

  9. El Patron

    GW 1 summary, day 1:
    Gray, Vardy FAIL 🙁
    Kun, Barkley, Redmond, McCauley 🙂

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

    Capoue & Redmond both on 3 Baps 🙂

    1. El Patron
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Did you actually start Capoue? I would have benched him if I had him.

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

        Of course he's benched in every team. No one played him.

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

      It's giving me heart attacks if I'm honest

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

        Isolates the wingers just like at Bayern, gets them into 1v1's way easier.
