Dugout Discussion – Man City vs Newcastle

2,743 Comments
Share

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.

    REMINDER

    24th January - EFL Semi-Final : Arsenal vs. Chelsea

    - If Chelsea win, MUN vs. CHE (GW28) = BGW Fixture confirmed
    - If Arsenal win, ARS vs. MCI (GW28) = BGW Fixture confirmed

    ARS vs. MCI is also confirmed if Man City qualify for the EFL Cup by beating Bristol City. Therefore, very likely - but Bristol did give them a good game last time.

    Just think about it before bringing in your Jones/Sané/KDB etc.

    For example, I have DDG but not Jones. I'd rather like Jones, but gives me a tricky GW28 fixture if I bring him in & then United's GW28 fixture becomes a BGW. Therefore, I'll wait for the EFL ARS vs. CHE fixture before making a transfer. If GW28 does become a United BGW, I might bring in someone like Van Dijk or Maguire to avoid this.

    See @BenCrellin's FPL Calendar - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-Xniaw-tEEiXoyqbGZLzMx6XEcv9TLolfa8GzndvTPw/edit#gid=32307552

        That move is more than fair, regardless of BGWs. I see a lot of people considering downgrading Otamendi (and I might myself, eventually), but for alternatives like Jones.

        In isolation it's a great move, but it's likely that people have other United/Chelsea assets such as DDG/Pogba/Alonso/Christensen etc.

        A lot of potential for not being able to field a full 11!

                No, I was watching United. Lingard had 2 good chances (was blocked both times) and I still think he'll do alright.

                With this being said, Shaqiri is a focal point in his team, maybe on penalties, cheaper and I may want Pogba/Martial soon.

                    Yeah that's my thinking, at least for the fixture run.

                8 blanks before this assist, I would think twice about him.

              Lukaku will start scoring more goals with Sanchez providing service. Could be a nice straight swap for kun when he goes back to rotating

                I wouldn’t count on Alexis for consistently great service. But Lukaku might score goals because defenders have more on which they can focus.

                Maybe. Not in big games. More likely Sanchez's temperament and Luka nod-downs will get him more goals than Lukaku.

                Keeping Kane as a lone striker. Either you brought in Kun at the right time or not. No need to chase right now. Especially with form of strikers and BGW28.
