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.

      Weren't you advocating selling him a couple of weeks ago?

    Paddy had him @ shortest odds to score this week.
    Never met a poor bookie.

    I did comment in the preamble congratulating aguero captainers

    Have captained Aguero in 7 of the last 8 weeks. Knew I should have just kept it on him this week.

      same. it was the same the West Brom week

      Ouch.. Hate that, such a cruel game this 🙁

      This

      *Always captain Kun*, so I take it off him anyway...

    Well done to those who captained kun!
    I changed to hazard after the yellow flag yesterday

    Sergio Kun Agüero.
    Faith.

    (Take him out, and he will hit you harder. Every single time. Thank you to those who took him out this week. :p)

    Think it's best to go with the unpopular captaincy choice every week

  10. Ziro
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    My ML leader who has no idea about the supposed Aguero 'foot-problem' captains Aguero and I back out just because of that little doubt. Cue, Kun brace. Can't make these things up. 😆

      Or maybe he captained knowing it would be a start or zero minutes.

    The justifications to sell have been my favourite bit

    Bonus wrapped up now too, seemed so obvious now!

      Always easy in hindsight

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

        Yea, that 'foot problem' made it easy for me.

      2. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Not in hindsight. A lot people saw this coming before the fact

  13. glufs

    Guess I wont transfer out Aguero after all.

  14. Viprin
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Im sorry I doubted you Kun,you will be forever in my team

    1. Licious Lizard

      Bookmarked 😉

      1. Viprin

        Ahh dont do that Lizard

  15. Manbatius

    9 years, 3 months ago

    Gutted i put Coutinho as captain instead of aguero.

    Also brought heaton in for grant a couple of weeks ago.
    So far 0 points and injured a game. Pickford to play lol

    Have exact money to do Lukaku+Sanchez to Hazard + Kane. Would rather wait til Alexis plays but couldn't afford tomorrow

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Don't do it. Kane hasn't justified his price tag yet.

  17. NATSTER
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    -131k net transferred out before deadline.

    He must be one of frustrating players to own.

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      He's great to own 🙂

  18. Viper

    I will never understand people selling Aguero. Vs Burnley. Away from home (where he's got his goals this season).

    Some people have very short memories.

    Having said all that, I didn't captain him

  19. b✪mber
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    If Ville, TM and that guy with the Wanger picture didn't captain him (all 3 captained Firmino) than the right move was to not captain him and captain Firmino....

    (I'll keep repeating this to myself having also captained Firmino)

  20. irsyadFC
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Still half hour to go, no way Aguero can score 4 or 5 goals like Mark said on scoutcast

  21. MikeyMitz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    130K very sad people right now.

  22. ILOVEBAPS
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Could be a hattie on here! Should have left the C on him!
    Oh well... Fill ya boots lad 🙂

  23. PvA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Captains can make or break your week... we'll see how Coutinho does

    Pis$$ed if he flops. Would be like the 97th week in a row my captain flopped this season

  24. Knowledgeable meerkat
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    That's twice this season there have been doubters and a whole load of sellers

    Both times Aguero has punished brutally

  25. FPLtfs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Is it going to be like this every other week? Keep him.

  26. Jay_
      9 years, 3 months ago

      A pen for grabbing on the way I reckon

    • ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      How it has changed in 20 mins from kane can do more in the next 3 to danggggg aguero man why u do this???

      Hilarious. I keep telling people. You dont switch up on a player like that.

      You wouldnt give suarez a second thought. He would never leave ur team even if he was 14m and had an identical record to agueros

    • TSILIKAFENEIAKOS
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Cash out the 1-3 score I had or wait? I am not watching the game

      1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Keep. City goal coming im pretty sure of it

    • Did you see that throw-in?
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Aguero won't be the only game in town this weekend. Liverpool will win 90-0.

    • Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      still rate the chances of Hazard (C) outscoring Aguero
