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.

    Not Kun's night is it

      Historical trends are useful, eg Kun's poor returns vs Everton.

    Assist not given. Wth

    3. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      It wasn't an assist.

    4. FPL Mentor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Huhh.. the rules used to say assist will be given unless the clearance leaves the box.. has it changed?

    5. *Reformed-Character*
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Are you serious ? You actually expected an assist ? I give up!

      Mark's sorting it...it was a Gareth McAuley assist 😉

      Yup

    2. MFC86
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      All the pre season KDB "essential" hype hasn't worked out well

  11. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Come on Kun. Grab that winning goal and max baps please.

  12. Daniyal
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    any chance Danilo gets that assist?

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Nope

    2. Jairzinho

      FPL just tweeted 'No assist'

  13. Rainer

  14. Waynoo
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

  15. Jay_

    • Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Where's me Danilo assy?

      1. Point-one short
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        At the top of his legsy.

    • Guy Demel
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Everton will get a late winner here.

    • FPL ZB

      He's been woeful but I am not taking a hit to get De Bruyne out before Bournemouth

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        I thought he was good in first half.

        Basically a quarterback in the second. He is a class above his teammates.

    • Champione

      KDB fighting for 2 baps

    • TFP
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Danilo certainly getting involved.

    • Ocrana
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      What do you guys think of getting Calvert-Lewinn to go 3-5-2 with Lukaku and Kane upfront?

      And im mostly sure on going WC tonight to prevent rises, KDB was the last straw...need to get me Alonso and cant without making 2 or 3 changes

    • The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Danilo getting forward like he did in preseason, looks very good.

      WHERE WAS THIS LAST WEEK?

    • shearer9
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Shocking if I get 3 points from KDB and Kompany. KDB is nowhere near the action.

    • Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Kompany. Kdb. Willan
      To
      Trippier. Pogba. Eriksen.

      1. Whats the Huth
