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 retired from International football so will be fresh for the Derby then, Kun will be away in Venezuela on the 6th of September whilst the Derby is on the morning of the 10th....hmmmm

    1. Thomas Magnum

      Iheanacho will give them a lesson 😉

    Stones is a really boring pick. City won't do cleanie until Kompany is back. Rather prefer Funes Mori at 5.0., is he nailed?

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Kompany returning very soon I hear

    2. Mark-O
      10 years, 2 months ago

      No Kompany no CS
      No Dembele no Kane goal
      No Koscielny no Arsenal party

      1. Ha.
        10 years, 2 months ago

        No Kante no CS

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

    DraftKings players for today? What you reckon to this lot?

    GK Lukasz Fabianski
    D Gareth McAuley
    D John Terry
    M Eden Hazard
    M Gylfi Sigurdsson
    F Vincent Janssen
    F Daniel Sturridge
    UTIL Alexis Sánchez

    1. Mull
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Any cheap Spurs defenders available?

      1. FC LAVAMAN
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Why not have a look?

        1. Mull
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Because I don't have a draft kings account.

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

        Vert over Terry?

        1. Mull
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Yes.

  6. FPL Maldini
    10 years, 2 months ago

    That final goal stopped KDB bonus points

    1. Ha.
      10 years, 2 months ago

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

    2 most likely results?

    a) Spurs win (h) to Palace

    b) Chelsea win @ Watford

    c) Hearts win (h) to Inverness

    d) Swansea win (h) to Hull

    1. Ha.

      No

  24. ★Kuntheman★

    NOLITOOOOO

  25. Jay_
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Aguero should still get 3

  26. Syd.
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Nolito stealing Aguero's Baps

  27. Lone Wolf FPL
    10 years, 2 months ago

    is that a risk for Kun 3 baps?

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Not even close

    2. Somalion
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Kun should get the game winning goal bonus so I reckon he's safe.

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

        There will be some deductions from Kun though. Nolito pretty much two shots 2 goals.

  28. Mull
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Don't leave it so late next time Raheem!

  29. Goodricke
    10 years, 2 months ago

    My H2H swapped Nolito for Coutino. I am rather pleased.

  30. ★Kuntheman★
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Aguero better get bonus 3 lol
