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.

      I don;t know why a lot of people here think jesus is 90 minute player every week, he;s still quite young and unproven

        45 minutes... who gets subbed off at half time. Red card sure, but it's not like they put on a defensive player.

    4. diesel001

      O'Leary, Ferguson and Southgate all sitting together. No Mourinho though.

      Jesus > Calvert- Lewin

    14. Ohhh Shola Ameobi

      Interesting that Pep chose to keep Aguero on over Jesus, unless there was an injury issue.

    15. Postman Ty

      Fabulous. Jesus off... what a waste.

      Wowzers....that is a massive sub in FPL terms. Pep has dropped a bombshell in many teams for sure.

      Aguero still a risk of rotation & lack of minutes 😉 ?

        Yes.

          Everyone is for City, but he's still more nailed than Jesus

      I think people will start looking at adding Rooney to their team. He's going to be scoring for fun.
