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

        I have Elliott! 😀

        I'll likely bench Richarlison the next 2 games. (Maybe just one). So it seems like selling him now and buying back later would give me an advantage over managers who have to keep him for bad fixtures, given that it means I could get a heavy-hitter in his place.

            If I want a decent keeper, I'll have to sell Richarlison (and then I'll be unable to get him back without selling Silva or Salah. Otherwise I have to make cuts elsewhere for no other reason than to get another keeper. Seems like a waste, no?

            Who knows, Speroni might even have more games in him, and Elliott might start getting save points or CSs. It's hard to predict, so seems like a waste of my 2FTs (which I'd like to think should put me in an advantageous position 😀 )

            Sell for 6.4, buy back (if I want) at 6.6/6.7? It's not really a problem if it gets me more points. I might even make some money on the players I buy anyway (2 or 3 of Hazard, Niasse, Sane, Cout, RLC, etc. It's not like I'm picking unpopular players)

    1 FT. 1.3 ITB

    Pope
    Otamendi - kolasinac - ward (gomez)
    Sane - salah - zaha - pogba - richarlison
    Vardy - Kane (ayew)

    Richarlison + vardy > morata (or hazard) + 5.7?
    Tough schedule in the coming weeks for richarlison, and chelsea's schedule looks good

    Have Vardy, Silva, Sterling all starting at the moment, and 1.1itb. Should I be moving Silva to Sane to avoid price drop, or just hold all three for the week?

      Sane is a much better option than Silva, would be making the switch
