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'm a United supporter and that was a pen every day of the week!

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

      Agree. We will see 3 penalties per game if these tussles are given as penalties.

  6. Mata-Is-The-Juan
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Man, the refs need to come together and decide on this -- what constitutes as 'excessive use of force and/or restriction' ? Cos it's some getting called and other being ignored is ridiculous.

  7. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I expect Utd and City could win a lot of Penalty's this season given the pace now in their sides

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

    Aguero's career penalty record is better than Messi's (admittedly not great, though).

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

      who has the best penaltry record of all time?

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

        Kolarov probably

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

        Le Tissier or Cantona I guess

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

        Graham Alexander??

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

        Matt Le Tissier

      5. Porkchops Johnson
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Probably Le Tissier or Rickie Lambert

    2. Seb Wassell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Balotelli? Until recently he had never missed one if I recall.

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

      You know not all the best players are in the premier league. have you heard of Totti or DelPiero? 🙂

    4. The Fantastic Mr Fox
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Zlatan's numbers are better. I was surprised when surprised posted the comparison here

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

        I know of at least a couple zlatan has missed.
        Le tiss missed one in 48 i think.
        Don't know anyone with a better record though lambert scored about 20 on the trot before he missed one for lpool

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

    2 more Kun and call it a day

  10. Fowler23
    • 10 Years

    So penos for tugging in the box this season, will be interesting.

    This is a football related post.

      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I agree with it. It's a free kick anywhere else on the park.

      Too long in coming.

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

        Same here ILF, hopefully cut out some of the nonsense and make corners more interesting...

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

        Gotta disagree on this one. Makes the game too soft.

  21. Kalou
    • 9 Years

    Brace/Hatty incoming..........:))))

  22. Rich_20

    Where do we find out what matches Mike Dean is reffing in future ?

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

    Ibra and Aguero scoring goals is lovely, but what happens when anyone else remotely expensive starts doing well

    I'll cross that bridge when I come to it... 😉

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Sanchez

  26. fitzy

    Everyone saying "not a pen" needs to look up the new rules.

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I can't convince people to use google to search for injury news before asking on here .

    2. devils advocate
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Pretty sure swinging from an attackers arm in the box was disallowed in the old rules also.

  27. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Shaw X yellow card is standard

  28. thepeen555
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Keep going aguero at least 3 please

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

    Gotta say its gonna be ridiculous if these pens are given regularly. Shawx didn't even bring him down. There will be 3 penalties per game at this rate.
