Despite grabbing eight goals in nine starts, it seems Sergio Aguero still hasn’t done enough to merit a place in some Fantasy managers’ plans, with growing calls for his dismissal among the community this week.

Our hot topic posters mull over the possible replacements for the Argentine, who is to be assessed by Pep Guardiola ahead of City’s trip to Burnley with a foot problem. Meanwhile, our community scribes take a look at what the fans, bookies, form guide and fixtures have to say about the weekend’s best armband candidates and transfer targets. There’s a certain Icelandic midfielder hogging the limelight in our Members tables round up and, finally, we find out the Fantasy managers who have already proved their calibre by topping our community leagues.

The Hottest Topics

After blanking away to Crystal Palace, some are starting to reassess the 13.2m-priced Sergio Aguero’s value for money. Prior to today’s news, which confirmed that he’ll be assessed prior to facing Burnley due to a foot problem, the calls to ditch the Manchester City striker were already growing to a crescendo. With Chelsea set to roll up to the Etihad next weekend, the exodus could soon pick up pace.

For Kt_Interista the Premier League’s top goalscorer Diego Costa looks an ideal replacement, while some are also considering acquiring Harry Kane early, even though he faces a Chelsea backline seeking their seventh league clean sheet in a row this weekend.

Even Olivier Giroud, who is still in search of his first Premier League start, is in the frame to replace Aguero. Our hot topic on the Arsenal striker offered the reminder that he has scored three times in his last three cameos in the league. We also sparked a discussion on your ideal front three, that for some, includes the Frenchman.

Penalty duties may be key to choosing the best replacement for those looking to jettison Aguero. With this in mind, Sleep Talk dropped by during the week to let us know where of the Premier League’s most spot-kick happy referees will be deployed in Gameweek 13.

Those that drafted in Kane ahead of last weekend’s clash with West Ham were certainly glad that Mike Dean was in charge, according to our latest “Rough with the Smooth” round up. He awarded a spot kick to both sides with the England striker’s conversion helping to deliver an impressive 13-point haul.

For some, this season has certainly presented far more rough than smooth Gameweeks, prompting Simon Says to ask whether 2016/17 has been more or less enjoyable than previous years.
