Dugout Discussion – Man City vs Everton

Gameweek 2 concludes at the Etihad Stadium as title favourites Manchester City host Everton.

Fantasy managers will be fixated on the City attack, with Sergio Aguero backed by over 214,000 (4.9%) of Fantasy Premier League managers with the Gameweek captaincy. In total, 39% of Aguero’s 543,000+ owners have trusted him with the armband.

The Argentine is off the mark for the season thanks to his goal at Brighton on the opening weekend, but if you’re a believer in player records against specific clubs, this will be a testing night for Aguero.

Everton have proved his toughest Premier League opponent over the years. Aguero has scored just twice over 11 Premier League appearances and has failed to net in his last six appearances against the Merseysiders. He’s also missed two of two penalties against them.

Elsewhere, Aguero’s strike partner Gabriel Jesus is captained by more than 86,000 managers (2.1%). He goes into tonight’s encounter having scored seven goals and supplied four assists over his last eleven Premier League outings, despite blanking at the Amex Stadium last time out.

Meanwhile, Kevin De Bruyne is captained by 82,000 managers and backed by an FPL ownership of 27.1%. He also returned a blank on the south-coast and will doubtless require points here to stave off further sales. The Belgian boasts two goals and five assists in his last five league outings. Like Aguero, he missed a penalty in this fixture last season.

For Everton, Wayne Rooney heads into this match backed by 16.8% ownership although more than 92,000 have him on their bench. Over 51% of Jordan Pickford’s 485,000+ owners have also chosen to keep the keeper in reserve with City backed for goals.

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

    Jesus playing in midfield. Aguero much more threatening. Selling Jesus now.

      Jesus barely had the ball :/

      City should play with this formation IMO:

      Ederson
      Otamendi Kompany Stones
      Walker Fernandinho Gundogan Mendy
      KDB Silva
      Aguero

      Aguero looks much poorer than Kane !!

    8. Urchin

      Didnt that actually went through between Ederson's feet?

        This is what somebody wrote about casuals: "Casuals means those who gets more point than you and pick players who you don't even think about getting"

      Rooney scoring for fun

    11. Guy Demel

      Sane on fire at the moment

    12. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE

      Sane having a mare

    13. foobfan

      This goal probably will pep back to his senses and will not field sane as wing back again.

      Foul throw Sane. It's fair to say he's having a mare.

      Kane and Aguero are gonna explode very soon.

      1. Nascimento
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Son likely to play up top afterwards?

    16. kime67

      can he even throw the ball ffs

      Only one person to blame Pep....

      Look in the mirror

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Amen.

      2. Ohhh Shola Ameobi
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Wouldn't blame Pep for this.

        Aguero should have put City 1-0 up. Ederson should have done better.

        1. Syd.
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          Sane was at fault for the goal but it is not his fault Pep is trying to make him play completely out of position

      3. Ravager

        Lol if Kun takes the KDB chance (or passes) and Silva doesn't hit the post...come on, the players are wasteful.

    18. ★Kuntheman★
      • 8 Years

      I think the anesthesia from Sane's nose surgery hasn't worn off yet

    19. UshFPL

      If KDB gets a 2 pointer I'm left with 26 points 🙁

      1. Rainer

        When* 🙁

        31pts assuming he doesn't get a YC...take that! 😎

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Luxury! I can only dream of having 26 pts this GW. Positive riches, my man!

        Ouch... 🙁

        1. UshFPL

          (C) Lukaku the only one who's showed up

    20. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      KDB, Jesus, Silva and Aguero all had chances to score and assist to be fair.

      1. kime67
        • 6 Years

        thats comforting thanks

      Gary Neville cursed City before the match, swooning over the attack.

      1. Syd.
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        They have missed a few sitters

      2. diesel001

        Scout Picks curse.

      Why did KDB have to do so well in pre-season?!

      1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        He did as well as carroll!

        this

    23. Odikostar

      Oh cmon Jesus get your shit together

    24. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Walker owners having a mare

    25. Guy Demel
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Walker is playing after all.

    26. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Rooney, Chicharito, Lukaku forward line would make a lot of sense on a WC

    27. Permian23
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      This is where 2 up front for City either gets tinned for this season, or nailed for this season.

    28. Clump
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Listening on the radio.
      Sounds like Kun more of a threat than Jesus & KDB maybe an expensive FPL luxury.
      Anyone watching think differently?
      Ta.

    29. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Actually think like Silva is the City player to have. Seems to be playing in the front three off the left, opposite side to Jesus but same position. 8m is pretty cheap. Assist last game and hit the post this, not too shabby.

      1. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Dunno how that 'like' snuck in there, ignore that.

        Yeah might stick him in my WC team
