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.

    Aguero dived there

      Maybe not

        Tiny touch on foot before he took the ball, I reckon.

      He totally did

    Can't see Danilo being benched after his impact, but .... oh wait it is genius Pep

    Morgan Sch off as well tut tut

    Another shocking decision from the referee

  5. DantheManinaPan

    Gabriel -> Firmino?

  6. Bolivian Seaman

    I'll keep willian then

    Still don't understand why Koeman took Williams off for Sigurdsson.

    1. Foozeball
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Might've had an injury? He was gripping his lower side/back

    2. DennisLFC08

      Pep took Jesus off for Sterling to outnumber their midfield. Koeman is just responding by taking the excessive third cb off with only one striker left on the pitch

    Aguero been cheating all game. Disgusting.

    1. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Yep, hopefully especially with that dive earlier, some retrospective action is taken.

    Take a walk son

    KDB's role seriously reminds me of the role Iniesta and Rakitic play for Barca. Crucial to the build-up play, but will instead collect a lot of 2nd assists, which is unhelpful for us FPL players

    1. BananaNose Maldonado

      This. He was their best player today. Super versatile and allowed Pep to play around with the formation after Walker got sent off. It doesn't always translate to FPL points, but he's the key to that side.

  11. TaiwanHC

    Should I WC this team?

    De Gea - Elliot
    Kompany - Yoshida - Dawson - Mee - Long
    De Bruyne - Salah - Willian - JWP - Carroll
    Kane - Lukaku - Rodriguez

    Thanks!

    1. MisterMaster

      Just de bruyne to a spurs mid imo

  12. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 days ago

    Smh why is KDB 5 mil more than Kanté? FPL got their pricing wrong on that one.
