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.

      This could be the thinnest of silver linings.

    Kompany playing further up the pitch than KDB ffs.

    KDB barely showing up on the screen when City are attacking.

      ...how!?!?

  6. RubberDucky
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Even if KDB scores im still getting rid. As soon as he passes the ball near the edge of the box he runs back towards the halfway line

      1. Too Mane Men

        Playing with 10 men. Pep's told him to do it.

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

        And yet when they had 11 men he was doing the opposite.

        1. RubberDucky
            8 years, 6 months ago

            He was going forward?

          no

        2. Sailboats

          Walker assist

      4. DennisLFC08
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Here I was thinking of getting rid of Danilo half an hour ago.....

        1. CloudSky
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          What changed?

          1. DennisLFC08
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Can't imagine he'll bench him after the impact he made.

        Playing their most creative player CDM? Ridiculous

        I think kdb has actually switched to cb now

        1. Samwise the Brave
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah said the same below

      7. Football Heaven
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        I want to wildcard to this but I might just slow roll them in. I'll wildcard next week anyway.

        Foster Elliott
        kompany hegazi trippier Bertrand long
        Kdb Pogba mkhitaryan richarlison Carroll
        Kane Lukaku DCL

        Might just bring richarlison and hegazi this week though. Not taking risk with Man City vs poor Bournemouth defence

        1. Football Heaven
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Really tempting to wildcard but mid week games play a factor as well and international break is always useful

        • 14 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        KDB playing CB it seems. With kompany pushing past him
        Mad pep

      9. Ballistics
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Jesus>Sterling a must?

      10. Lanley Staurel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        KDB positive - he doesnt get subbed off.
        KDB negative - he is essentially a centre back.

        Set piece is his only chance of scoring.

        KDB the 10m Defensive MF 😆 😆

        At least we know now that Danilo will play next GW

        1. CloudSky
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Mendy back.

          1. CloudSky
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            But forgot about Walker red.

      13. Guybrush Threepwood
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Danilo has looked very lively since coming on. Surely worth keeping hold of him now after Walker's red. Now the question is what to do with KDB and/or Jesus. KDB so deep and Jesus anonymous in the first half.

        KDB to Pogba and free up some funds sounds good right now.

      14. Moves like Dejagah
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        It's painful watching KDB play so deep, just awful to see.

      15. Sandy Ravage
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        KDB is a great quarter back

      16. Jigger & Pony
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Danilo nailed next game given Walker RC?

        Very negative from Everton here with the extra man

        1. Jairzinho
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years

          What extra man?

      23. OneDennisBergkamp

        my front 3 of De Bruyne, Jesus and Kane have got me 9 points in 2 weeks!
