Saturday treats us to seven more Gameweek 2 matches, with Stoke entertaining Man City in the early lunchtime kick-off.

Sergio Aguero will be hoping to continue the momentum that’s already harvested six goals in his first four outings under Pep Guardiola.

Having seen Zlatan Ibrahimovic score twice and rack up 13 points last night, though, the Argentine has plenty to do to vindicate his place at the top of this week’s captain poll.

City warmed up for this one with a 5-0 hammering of Steaua Bucharest on Tuesday evening, and their manager has been reluctant to make changes – Pep Guardiola makes just one alteration from that match in Romania, with Nolito replaced by Jesus Navas on the flank.

For the Potters, Shay Given once again deputises for the stricken Jack Butland, who remains sidelined with an ankle injury sustained in training prior to Gameweek 1.

Mark Hughes makes one enforced change for the hosts, with the injured Xherdan Shaqiri repalced by Joe Allen. Bojan is expected to switch to the right flank to allow Allen to tuck in behind Mame Biram Diouf.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Ibra(c)ers will eat dust behind Kun(c)ers!

      A bird in the hand...

      I'm a Kun(c) who is still on team Ibra 😀

    4. Kane Toads
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Let's hope Kun captained himself in his FPL team!

    5. Worzel Gummidge

      People who own with will be the true winners. I am hoping Vardy can give me a parting brace so that Ibra makes no difference at all to shut their early adopters up.

      1. Worzel Gummidge
        10 years, 2 months ago

        *who own both.

      2. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
        10 years, 2 months ago

        This. I am hoping I didn't leave it too late and Vardy/Aguero really help close the gap today.

        I was sitting proudly at the top of most of my ML's but after last night... Mayhem.

      Early kick off is always a snooze fest.

          Good lad, cheers Ziro....really think it should be a regular thing. Much easier for checking back...

    Having got both Kun and Ibra (C), would love for Kun to blank

    1. Oooof
      10 years, 2 months ago

      In the same position - wouldn't mind a goal from Kun.

      1. Podge
        10 years, 2 months ago

        none would be better for your rank

    2. devils advocate
      10 years, 2 months ago

      If Kun blanks the casual's should sell him in bulk, lol.

    1. Clump
      10 years, 2 months ago

    2. bojack
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Nothing yet but in all likelihood I will wheel out the wildcard tonight and lose at least .1.

    3. Ziro

    5. George Sillett
      10 years, 2 months ago

    Time to get Ibra in along with Kun for me, both on pens now and a easy captain choice every week as you stick the armband on the one with the home fixture

    1. Fifa las vegas
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I bit the bullet last night, hes to noisy to ignore.

      Took a 4 point hit to do:
      Long/Gray/Martial > Ibra/Diamonde/Ramirez

      Had to be done really...just hope Martial doesn't come back to bite against Hull.

    I watched the Hockey last night, the team playing in red were outplayed but still won.

    1. George Sillett
      10 years, 2 months ago

      And took crap penalties too.

      1. Syd.
        10 years, 2 months ago

        I played Hockey at school and all the protection we got was a pair of pads

  10. Jazz!
    10 years, 2 months ago

  11. Ha.

  12. TheBusDriver
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Let's hope for an Aguero blank. Who's with me?

    1. Podge
      10 years, 2 months ago

      \o

  13. Syd.

    2. Sánchez

    Aguero injury today gonna mean a lot of WCs!

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Easy downgrade. You can buy any forward you want. Plus City cover doesn't seem essential without Aguero.

      1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
        10 years, 2 months ago

        And the people who have already made one or two transfers?

        1. EmreCan Hustle
          10 years, 2 months ago

          I assumed no one did 😉

  27. Q
    10 years, 2 months ago

    When is lukaku looking likely to get his first game? Kun, ibra, lukaku would be a force. Or maybe tekkers

    1. devils advocate
      10 years, 2 months ago
