And so it begins. Gameweek 13 gains momentum with an early kick-off at Turf Moor as Manchester City drop in on Burnley.

The build-up to this match was laced with uncertainty and the teamsheets reflect that, although perhaps not in the way we envisaged.

Sergio Aguero starts for City but Pep Guardiola builds his notoriety among Fantasy Football managers by leaving Kevin De Bruyne on his bench and omitting both Ilkay Gundogan and John Stones from the squad. Yaya Toure’s start in midfield was at least expected and, with David Silva also benched, the Ivorian looks set to be deployed in the number ten role.

Burnley also spring an unpleasant surprise with their selection, as the “essential” Tom Heaton misses out with a calf injury. Veteran Paul Robinson starts between the sticks and is charged with repelling Aguero and the City attack.

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

    Anyone else on man city who can free kicks besides Sterling when KDB and silva are on bench? Yaya?

          Pep should do this

              Yep, just let Sterling slot in at LB while the set piece is taken

        1. Jazz!
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Quite low, around 20% max maybe. EO is 59%.

          1. Dr Dream

            Not so bad then.

        You know whats funny?? People keep talking about getting rid of aguero and how much money they'll save but they wont even touch that money just to get aguero back in after he scores a hypothetical (yet realistic) hat trick. Furthermore, they dont put their money into actually getting players with the money saved so this whole "I'll have enough money for a good midfield" is rubbish.

        Just maximise your points and 9 goals in 11 starts for aguero is the definition of getting your money's worth. All 13m of it if u ask me

          Assumes the hypothetical hattrick, which has seemingly decreased in frequency of late.

          When hes playing bad. When hes playing good hes not a fraud.

              really feel that Sterling will never get any better as player than he is now. this is him as the finished article. could be wrong but just don't see any improvement, all the same defects are there every season

              1. RoysCallerAnne
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 15 Years
                9 years, 3 months ago

                His decision making whilst on the ball is so dodgy. And I don't think that can be learned or corrected as it's instinct.

                1. Toure The Route
                  • 9 Years
                  9 years, 3 months ago

                  mental attributes like decision making improve naturally as the player ages usually.
                  Except some blessed kids who have really good mental stats for their age, say rashford .
                  Sterling has so much time left to improve , might take him 2 more years but heck he is 21.

              2. walkman666

                • 11 Years
                9 years, 3 months ago

                Certainly won't improve in this game.

              3. Mull

                • 14 Years
                9 years, 3 months ago

                He's still only 21. There's plenty of time for him to develop physically and mentally into a more complete footballer.

              Burnley have a really good chance of staying up if one of their strikers can get them the goals. Dyche is doing an excellent job.
