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

    1. KISSES
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I think a United midfielder will come to light soon. Im holding out until I go for it, will be either Martial or Mhki.

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

        Yeh, mkhit needs a few starts b4 I invest, utd just look formidable atm can't see my self having less than 3 players as the season goes on.

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

      Im going Shaw I think (or Azpi possibly)

  4. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Well, my headache all week was whether to bench Stones or Long. Ended up getting 1 and 2 respectively.

    Such a waste of my time. 😆

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

      So who did you bench? Don't leave us hanging!

      1. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Benched Stones.

        Game-changing stuff!

        1. Ha.

  5. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Are you guys paying a lot of attention to your team value already?

    I'm on 100.4 with 100.7 tomorrow maybe if Aguero Hazard and Capoue rise.

    Not sure if this is any good, bought Lamela and Ibra just before they went up though.

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      No.

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

      This is good, definitely

    3. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad

      No

    4. ★Kuntheman★

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

    Can you imagine the abuse he's going to get when he brags about Aguero blanking. 😆

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Aguero blanking ?? I can't imagine

    2. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I'd actually pay to watch that.

    3. Siggy in the Middle
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He won't have to worry about that for a while...

  7. ViewsFromThePo6ba
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    When is Ozil returning?

    Chances of appearing vs Leicester?

    1. KISSES
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Appreance likely, starting minimal

  8. Andy_Social
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I saw something different in Stones. I'm drafting him into my WC team.

  9. Slartibartfast
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Foster, Hazard, Gray, Capoue,

    1. Slartibartfast
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Reply fail @ LR 🙂

  10. Squires FC
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Does 4 non starters + no zlatan warrant a wc?

    1. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Depends on who they are but I would.

      • Podge
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        no zlatan on its own does

      • Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Depends on the rest of your team and how many transfers it would take to get Zlatan.

    2. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Alli's going to come on isn't he. No need to go check who's my first sub...

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Should get a couple of minutes.

        1. kalmoffit
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          That's such a relief.

      2. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Yes, managers always like to give the young fringe players a few minutes at home games.

    3. pjomara
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Any apps that show your leagues updated in real time? Used have FF buddy but no longer exists.

      1. Worzel Gummidge
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Why dont you have a F Buddy anymore? Did one of you start liking each other more then the casual s@x?

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

          I don't think there are any that does it live anymore.

      2. Tommytour
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Dreading watching Hazard Lamela now as I stupidly switched them out GW1

        1. Kante Be Bothered
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          big BIG mistake

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

            Thanks for that 🙂

        2. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Why?

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

            Before GW1 not this week

            Went Mahrez Oscar

      3. denial

        • 16 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        So let's just quickly re-visit the question I asked Thursday night:

        Alli/Vardy out for Lamela/Ibra?

        Looks more like a go-er now?!

        Bugger it.

        1. Lateriser 12
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Yep.

          1. denial
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            I'm with this Busdriver guy. You're all useless on here. No idea.

            1. Andy_Social
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              Ha ha. Do it! 🙂

        2. Funkdoc
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Bottled the same move before the GW. Did it last night

      4. The Mighty I
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Which 3pm kick off will be the most entertaining?

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Blues - Wolves

        2. denial
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Pool look fun to watch

        3. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Plymouth Argyle v Mansfield Town

          1. The Mighty I
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Could be a thriller that!

            1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              Of course it will mate, you know it 😀

      5. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Can't believe Sterling passed, there was a huge gap to keepers left 😡

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

          I'm glad he did. He would have missed.

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Haha, maybe

          2. Dr Dream
            • 13 Years

            ^this

        2. Worzel Gummidge
            9 years, 7 months ago

            He would annoy me if I owned so not going there.

            1. Dr Dream
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              He annoys me when I don't own him.

          • Hy liverpool
            • 12 Years

            If he was mirrallas

          • Garlana
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            If he'd of shot, You'd of ended up with just his 1 pointer

        3. Cantona90
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Did pep just say "like a human being".

        4. Energetics
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Will most likely keep all 3 for another week but
          Vardy, Tadic, Stones Out
          Benteke, Ozil/Payet, Baines In

          Look good?

          1. Rich_20
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            No. Benteke might need time. Tadic is a great asset. Stones will do more than baines in the long run. Getting Payet could be the only priority there.

        5. asvpxmicky
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Looking at wildcarding to get ibra in...

          Valdes Foster
          Shaw Amat Friend Williams Stones
          Bolasie Hazard Lamela Sterling Capoue
          Aguero Ibra Gray

          thoughts?

          1. Alisson WondHaaland
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Benteke instead of Gray imo

          2. Kante Be Bothered
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            try to get in redmond and firmino in there

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

            Needs more Tadic

          4. JÆKS ⭐
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Redmond instead of Bolasie all day long
            Not sure if Capoue is nailed with the new boy from Juve signing

        6. Dr Dream
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Has Conte all but finished with Cesc now....and is Oscar safe?

          1. Billy Gilmore
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Looks like it. Oscar looks like the ideal hard-working midfielder for Conte

            1. Dr Dream
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              Looking like a bit of a gift horse tbh....

            2. Tommytour
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              Hoping he scores some points today went with him over Hazard and that penalty was annoying to say the least!

              1. Dr Dream
                • 13 Years
                9 years, 7 months ago

                I might join you. I have Lamela with 0.5 itb....Lamela just doesn't light my candle somehow.

        7. Alisson WondHaaland
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          How does my team look for next week?
          Foster (Jaku)
          Williams Friend Shaw (Amat Stones)
          Lamela Firmino Hazard Tadic (Capoue)
          Benteke Aguero Vardy

        8. phace
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          WC time to get Zlatan in and give Stones the boot.
          Choice for defence:

          A) Barkley & Coutinho
          B) Ozil & Bolasie

          1. phace
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            *Midfield

          2. Kante Be Bothered
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            none of those are defenders?

          3. GreennRed
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Too early to wildcard. Take a few hits.

        9. jackluhg
          • 11 Years

          Accidentally capped Hazard when changing vice 🙁 One goal please

        10. Les Bleus

            Guys, quick question for a draft league.

            Won't be able to reverse this decision till Jan 2017.

            Do we think Bailly - Blind will continue to start? I have Bailly and Smalling currently and expected Blind to be dropped. So not sure if I should trade Smalling in or not?
