Dugout Discussion – Man City vs Everton

4,233 Comments
Share

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.
