Dugout Discussion – Huddersfield vs Man City

After the late penalty drama at Turf Moor, we now turn to the John Smith’s Stadium as Huddersfield entertain Man City in the final fixture of Gameweek 13.

The surprise news is that Sergio Aguero is handed his first away start since Gameweek 5 – where he racked up 20 points at Watford.

Sold by over 195,000 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers last week, the Argentine is one of four Man City players in the top eight captains for Gameweek 13.

Aguero is backed by 8%, with Leroy Sane (4.1%), Gabriel Jesus (3.7%) and Kevin De Bruyne (3.5%) also high in the armband rankings.

But Jesus’ 15% owners are left frustrated as he sits on the bench, whereas Sane – in his eighth successive league start under Pep Guardiola – goes in search of his sixth set of double-digits in 2017/18.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    The diving rules are a bit ridiculous.

    If you dive and get caught in the game its a yellow.

    If you dive and get caught afterwards its a two game ban.

    How does that make sense? Surely the punishment should be the same for both?

              Question for anyone who has a handle on these things. How come Vardy got an assist in FPL but didn't in Sky?

              I had him as my Sky captain and was actually watching the game so know it was a great tee up assist. To make it worse, my brother who I play head to head has him in FPL!

              I definitely don't begrudge my brother his assist as it looked clear to me but am a tad annoyed I didn't get my Sky points compensation!

              I was under the impression that both games use Opta stats. Is that not the case or do Sky use it exclusively and FPL have people actually watching the games and making manual adjustments.

              Sky FF even tweeted that Vardy had assisted as the game was on Sky and presumably everyone in their office saw it was an assist. But they didn't add the points.

                  I've definitely calmed down about it now I understand it but it seems odd that when a man tried to set someone up and does he isn't credited with an assist when you think of some of the bizarre ones we HAVE seen!

                Sky only award it if it's actually given by Opta whereas FPL use their judgement in situations like the Vardy one.

                  Assumed it must be that. Just seems odd that not all games do that. Especially as everyone can watch the goals. Almost seems lazy to just use Opta. I know when I was at the Sun and they switched from using reporters to give the player ratings to Opta stats there was a weird situation where Rooney was dreadful and kept getting points.

                Opta did not give him the assist either as it took a touch off Ogbon but under fpl rules it was an assist.

                I dont know the Sky rules as i have never bothered to read them.

              Silva is wasting chances ... Bernando will replace him
