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

      36 pts with 7 to go. 42 inc. bonus.

      My modest aim for 100 pts after two weeks is doing OK.

    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

    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
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Kompany returning very soon I hear

    2. Mark-O

      9 years, 7 months ago

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

      1. Ha.

      2. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
        • 16 Years

  25. Jay_

      Aguero should still get 3

    • Syd.
      • 16 Years

      Nolito stealing Aguero's Baps

    • Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      is that a risk for Kun 3 baps?

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Not even close

      2. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

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

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

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

    • Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Don't leave it so late next time Raheem!

    • Goodricke
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

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

    • ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years

      Aguero better get bonus 3 lol
