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

    Who needs Ibra anyway

    Sterling should never be on the left. Ever.

    1. creaky24
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Why? He's played out of his skin so far this season

      1. Paganoi
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Yes. On the right.

    I can't believe there are FFS members who not only didn't captain Aguero but don't even have him at this stage. Unbelievable

    1. The Royal Robin
      10 years, 2 months ago

      They don't deserve to play!

    in a unexpected twist FPL have brought the Gameweek 8 scores this season forward to Gameweek 2

  6. JogaSemmedo

    Didn't panic at all captaining Kun over Ibra.

    Yesterday, Aguero owners hid behind the sofa. Today, Ibra owners hide behind the sofa.

    And I get to enjoy both 🙂

    1. Kante Be Bothered
      10 years, 2 months ago

      You captained both? 😉

      1. glufs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 2 months ago

        He captained both

      2. ★Kuntheman★
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Yep, captain and vice-captain

        😉

  8. n-doggg

    Never question the Kun(c)

  9. RubeRx
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Nice touch Raheem

  10. Sánchez
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Unassisted Stones goal for 0-2 end result please

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Aguero assist

    2. @ocprodigy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Too late

    3. mutatedllama
      10 years, 2 months ago

      That would make it 0-3...

  11. Fenners19
    10 years, 2 months ago

    I'm in shock. I'm on 51 points already, nosebleed territory for me. Was regretting not captaining Zlatan last night, but doesn't really matter now

    Hoping for a Stones clean sheet too.

  12. Chucky
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone TC Kun?

  13. 824545201
    10 years, 2 months ago

    I captained Hazard.

  14. Lateriser 12

    Kubra owners key is Vardy Kane and Sanchez quiet.

    KUBRA IS LIFE!

    1. Smythe
      10 years, 2 months ago

      (K)ubraaaaaaaaaa

    2. Big Sum
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Why? I have Kubra and Sanchez

  15. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
    10 years, 2 months ago

    It looks like going super saiyan has really hindered Arnautovic's output.

  16. HamLFC10
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Aguero definitely saw Ibra as the top scorer and wasn't having it.

  17. Mario Balofail
    10 years, 2 months ago

    I've alredy said that and I say it again: Ibra-Kun-dabra and here we are again! 🙂

  18. Lyonnais
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Kun limping...

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      As he always does - it's his natural gait

    2. willl
      10 years, 2 months ago

      how dare you

    3. Piggs Boson
      10 years, 2 months ago

      That's a good sign.

  19. Jazz!
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Sergio Aguero you beautiful man.

  20. rnrd
    10 years, 2 months ago

    I have the feeling the KDB is going to begin right now. Stoke are way too high on the field

  21. Jafooli
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Lol @ Aguero non triple cappers.

    Does that make sense, I think it does.

    1. Norfolk&Chance
      10 years, 2 months ago

      It makes sense.

    2. Mark-O
      10 years, 2 months ago

      A pity Pep wasn't in charge last season otherwise Kun TC against Aston Villa would be heavens

      1. Jafooli
        10 years, 2 months ago

        We'd still be counting the points now....

  22. Bubz
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Just need Vardy to score a goal and the whole Ibra-gate isn't so bad anymore

    1. Zizoulicious
      10 years, 2 months ago

      did you get him in the end last night?

    2. pundit of punts
      10 years, 2 months ago

      This.

  23. EDEN THE MAN
    10 years, 2 months ago

    I will never leave you again Kun...
    Never...

  24. Rainer
    10 years, 2 months ago

    A Stoke goal now followed by a Kun hatty goal would be perfect! #Amat

  25. KOLASINA(C)
    10 years, 2 months ago

    How about 5 goals again Kun? 🙂

  26. Count of Monte Hristo
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Kün is life 😎

  27. Bøwstring The Carp
    10 years, 2 months ago

    So basically the decision to not own Ibra comes down to how Hazard, Costa, Mahrez and Firmino do

    No pressure lads!

    1. Jazz!
      10 years, 2 months ago

      This except the Firmino part 😛

  28. Kroos Kontrol
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Didn't have Ibra, stupid hunch to go Hazard (C) over Aguero the last day. Been busy with travels all week so didn't know the percentages and just went on a hunch. So I just saw Stoke away and they are solid home against City; and Watford away and they were bad defensively against Soton so let's go Hazard.

    Every season one GW happens where I mess up in not captaining my favourite player Aguero (Newcastle 6-1, Norwich 7-0 etc) but I didn't expect it to happen this early 🙁

  29. @ocprodigy

    Please score a goal Stoke. I benched Stones in anticipation...

    Bemba Da has gone quiet. Best day in history.
