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.

    Going Kingsley over Amat on WC last GW was a mistake though...

    Sergio was scoring 6 points per game before today. It's easy to say in hindsight, but over-thinking a transfer is dangerous...

      anything is easy to say in hindsight

      1. 1966 was a great year for E…

        Hindsight? It doesn't need Nostradamus levels of foresight to know that Sergio Aguero is a very, very good FPL player.

        1. Odikostar
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          It's not that he's not the best striker in the league, it's about finding better value elsewhere

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

        Why do people keep saying this? Its no hindsight its sense. His goal record showed that he is farrrr of being out of form. Even an aguero blank today wouldnt make me take him out cos i knew what he can do (just like he showed today )

    2. Crystal
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      It's not hindsight, it's Burnley. Sellers were playing with fire

    3. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Okay, maybe it isn't just hindsight then... 😆

        Just goes to show it isn't the same as always 😉 Some of us thinking LW the other CAM.

        1. Cok3y5murf
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Well Mane is on the right wing, so there has to be someone on the left wing. So who else could it be?

          1. The Royal Robin
            • 10 Years

            Was referring to Jaks' comment, not yours mate.

    Lukaku > Kane

    Had planned to do it this week for the hit but if the prices change I'm screwed, is it mental to make 2 transfers 3 hours into a GW???

    22/24 in my ML captained Kun, 2nd captained firm and 4th (me) captained cout. We both still own him though

    every single week:

    "I knew I should have captained x (who scores in early game) instead of y (who has not played yet)"

    y proceeds to score later.

    1. some witty pun
      • 13 Years

      I knew I should have captained Aguero (who scores in early game) instead of Firmino

        Gink dropping the truth bombs like it's a 2012-13 Emerson Boyce bandwagon.

      You did though

  13. The Enlightener

    When you go without Kun, you know he will score some. But to score 2 as he has today. 'Bout enough to make a man rage quit.

    1. Hands Guber
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Calculated risk from those that got rid,there were many compelling factors to ship. When Burnley went 1-0 up it looked like a pretty good decision but Burnley gifted him those goals.

      He's an awesome player,I personally still wouldn't have captained him today or next week and that was decisive at that price for me.

      1. The Enlightener
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Underneath it all, I made a sound decision to ditch I feel. Just got hosed by two of the luckiest/easiest goals a player could basically have. You can't legislate for that. Just gotta swallow the bitter pill and move on. In a luck-based game, these things will happen.

    Needing to get rid of Gund with no extra cash to spend, Moses worth a punt as my 4th mf? Or I could do Aguero (I know he's got a brace) to Giroud (if he starts tomorrow) and Gund to Firmino.

    1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
