After a stilted stalemate at the Hawthorns, it’s fair to say that we’re looking forward to some fireworks from the tea-time kick-off.

Manchester City host West Ham United at the Etihad as they bid to keep pace with Manchester United and Chelsea and make it three wins from three.

Pep Guardiola makes two changes, introducing Gael Clichy at left-back for Aleks Kolarov and handing a start to Nolito at the expense of Jesus Navas.

The Hammers are again without Dimitri Payet, with his absence surely set to lead to another mass exodus in FPL terms.

Slaven Bilic has changed shape in a bid to repeat last season’s victory in Manchester, recalling Angelo Ogbonna to a three-man rearguard.

Former Manchester United starlet, Ashley Fletcher, makes his first Premier League start up front in a 3-5-2 setup. Sam Bryam drops to the bench, whilst Håvard Nordtveit misses out through injury. Manuel Lanzini is fit enough for the bench.

All eyes will be Sergio Aguero – he heads into this encounter backed with the captaincy by 32% of FPL managers, just 1% less than Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who stalled with a two-point return at Hull on Saturday.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Remy -- Benteke -- Wickham

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years

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

          Even if they signed James Rodriguez, I would avoid them currently..

    Can someone explain why the Gray tweet is only surfacing now, after 4 years? I mean, did the FA not see it last year?

    1. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      FA are useless and reactionary

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

      Nobody cared last year.

    3. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He wasn't famous then

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Top scorer (or close to it) in the Championship?

  5. Judas
    • 13 Years

    Are we keeping Stones then?

    1. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

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

      Aguero elbowed his eye

  8. Squires FC
    • 12 Years

    @RDAMJAN

    Pardew has been playing 442 with Benteke and Wickham.

    If Remy joins, both he and Benteke will play.

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

      The manager is the problem

    2. The Donald
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Remy @ 6.4 tho... much better price

    3. @persecuted_by_mods
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Does anyone really think they'd spend that much on benteke and not play him?

          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago
