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!

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

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

        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.

            *who own both.

            • 9 Years
            9 years, 7 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
          9 years, 7 months ago

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

          1. Podge
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            none would be better for your rank

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

          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

            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.

            • 10 Years

            And took crap penalties too.

            • 13 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

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