Dugout Discussion – Man City vs Newcastle

Saturday ends at the Etihad Stadium where Manchester City bid to recover from their defeat at Anfield with three points over Newcastle United.

In Fantasy terms we have three of the top seven captain picks on show in the City attack.

Sergio Aguero leads the way with 581,000+ (10.3%) backers who will hope that he can deliver on an incredible record against the Magpies.

The Argentinian averages a goal or assist every 31 minutes against Newcastle in home matches, though he has just a single goal in his last four Gameweeks.

Kevin De Bruyne sports 178,000 armbands (3.1%) as he goes into the game with three assists in his last five; his last goal came back in Gameweek 18.

Meanwhile, Raheem Sterling – who was surprisingly sold by 108,000 ahead of Gameweek 24 – has the support of 152,000 managers as he bids to add to his tally of nine goals on home turf.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    It definitely passes through and touches Aguero's hair. It's a case of whether hair counts as a touch which I'm guessing it does.

    Can FPL at least say they’re reviewing it or TBC. How they feel confident enough to post that’s an Aguero goal I’ll never know

        TM is correct. It's only confirmed once the bonus points roll in.

      Why have they not reviewed it and just given Aguero? The ball did not look like it touched Aguero at all

      Dummet got Kun in his back pocket, he says it's a KDB goal

    8. Sandy Ravage

      Kun at least deserves an assist for putting the keeper off (KDB owner & non Kun owner)

      Can CSI Manchester swab the ball at HT for traces of Aguero hair gel?

    21. BobB

      Aguero goal exactly like Alan Smith's at Anfield 89 league decider

    22. Zenith UK

      Otamendi earning his price tag finally, this season

      1. FlockofSeagulls
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I agree. Been outstanding in every area. Completely different player.

        Funny what the right manager and some confidence can do for a player.

    23. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years

      Aguero would reveal if it is his goal after the game.

      1. Numb
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Nah he'll laugh, wink and say "my goal"

      Slow mo shows a KDB goal. His hair moves because he’s jumping!

      Just re-watched several times and there is a clear gap between head and ball. Hair moved by passage in the air of the ball.

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        What about that 1 stray out of place hair he had?

    26. Numb
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Opta have all the technology, I'm sure they'll review this and get the right decision. Think they'll give Aguero the benefit of the doubt.

      1. Differentiator
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Fernandez and Naughton

        *cough*

        1. liiusions

          Was it not Taylor who got the phantom assist?

      2. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Not much point with the technology if thats the case.

    27. Rik Waller
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Genuine question - Does hair count as a touch?

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Of course.
