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

    I smell a Pulis cleensheet again with no recognize striker for Everton. Shame didn't start Evans, but Foster to make up again hopefully.

      I have Foster, McAuley and Evans so I hope you're right 😉

      A Baines goal would be nice if not 0-0 is fine with me

      no pulling or dragging, theyll give away about 6 penos

    Firmino captain looking like a bad choice now

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Goal galore upcoming

    2. Give Me the Mane
      • 9 Years

      Hope still there

    3. Tabasco

      Lol why

    4. Ranj

      9 years, 7 months ago

      A Mate talked me out of Aguero in favour of Firmino as well... Pissed

      Only consolation is he has Wijnaldum.... I'm wondering why I took advice from someone who picked Wijnaldum even though he has both Aguero and Zlatan

    Kelechi is a baller!

  6. Thomas Magnum

    Iheanacho > Martial and Depay

    1. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      WIthout a shadow of a doubt.

    2. Smythe
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Martial is better, obviously.

    3. Zombie
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I am an United fan and definitely agree with the second...

      Not sure about Martial though..unfair to compare unless Nacho starts regularly instead of coming in when the matches have been more or less won

    4. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      LOL

  7. mranonymous

    Will Mane's drop percentage reset when his flag disappears?

  8. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Navas should not be starting games for City. He is a Pellegrini dud.

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He should have been competing with Bolt in the Olympic instead of wasting peeps time watching him on the pitch.

  9. Ninja Škrtel
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    that could've been Kun :\

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      * should've

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Kun would have scored himself.

  10. Mark-O
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Pellegrino has unearthed a gem and that's Iheanacho but it's a shame he's likely to be on the bench again

    That goes the same for Rashford

  11. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    That was brilliant by Kelechi.

    1. Ramok
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      It wasnt, if he would get better touch it should be 1v1

  12. Ramok
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Now city hooold

  13. Henryyy

    Iheanacho so good

    Do we expect Gray to fall in price today?

    If he doesn't do anything today I'm eager to get him out, but would want tomorrows games to finish first before deciding on his replacement. Looking at Wilson, Rondon or Carroll.

    1. Max Gradel to the grave
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He'll drop if he does nowt.

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Same for me.. If he doesnt score, Carroll is welcomed..

    Folks, what is the best site for predicted bonus points?

    I used to use TotalFpl but not working

    1. Sleep Talk
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      You get a pretty quick overview of the BPS points if you click the match details on the FPL-page.
      If that's not good enough, try: http://anewpla.net/fpl/live/

    2. Norman Conquest
      • 12 Years

      anewpla.net

    3. Ziro
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      It's GW2 already, doesn't everyone know by now that FPL site themselves have started showing bps n the format of anewpla etc.?
      Fpl page is best now

  18. Deyanski

    Iheanacho and Nolito are class. I would be really amazed if Navas keeps his place.

  19. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    At least no Aguero.

    Imagine Iheanacho as an FPL option when Aguero leaves in 2018

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Aguero got an extended contract I believe
