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.

    Look at kane & agueros next three fixtures...
    is it crazy to be thinking about kane > kun then reverse that in citys GW28 blank if they go through

    1. TOBY1

      Jesus back soon.

        + Champions league

      I read earlier this week that Jesus was back in 2 weeks... next week is FA cup so if those stories are true he’s available next GW. Sure he won’t go straight back in even if stories are true but not sure it’s worth doing the transfer now. That ship has sailed.

    ota and lingard --> ?
    or keep

  3. Positive vibes

    Hi, just a thought:
    Ota + Son -> Maguire + Mahrez (-4), good or bad idea?
    Thanks guys.

    1. Lukakuna
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Bad

  4. F4L
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Aguero is past it. A prime Kun would have got 6 today

    1. Totalfootball
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      True

    2. Rossendale Rover
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Agreed. He could and should have had many more. Looked a bit jaded until he was on for his hat-trick

    3. *Reformed-Character*
      • 9 Years

      Wind up merchants everywhere 🙂

    4. doy
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      6 is a bit of an exaggeration, no? He didn't have that many other clear-cut chances?

  5. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    How do people have these 70+pts scores already? Whos in your team???

    1. TOBY1
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Kun

    2. doy
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Jolly good question. Probably double up of Utd defence for starters.

    3. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      My guess would be (K)un, united defence, Arnie and Mahrez for most of em

    4. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Kun Willian Hazard Moses KDB Jones DDG

    5. Shultan
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Kane captain, alonso, utd defence

    6. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Kun. Hazard. Monreal. 2 of those could boost an average score.

    7. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Aguero captaincy , Hazard Captaincy in some cases

    8. Railwayman
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      82 for a mate in my ML. He has Kun (C), Hazard, Vardy, Mahrez.

    9. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      55 with Kun captain feels a bit of a fail.

        • 9 Years

        Be happy with the points?

    10. JohnnyMagrinho
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I got very lucky from Moses and Aguero (C) to be honest. Mahrez, Arnie and Sterling have helped as well.

      Still have Salah and Bobby left...

    11. Pipermaru
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Alonso, Jones, Hazard, Kun C

    12. MagicMessi
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      66 kun(c) Vardy arnie Alonso
      Kane and Saido to go mate

    13. BoleynWin
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Aguero (C) & Hazard mainly, I don’t have any United defence, Mahrez or Arnie either. On 73 with Salah & Firmino to play. Not boasting it is what it is, absolute mare last week but looking good today. We shall see

    THOUGHTS?

    1. Darth_Krid
      • 9 Years

      League cup semis, FA Cup 4th round....ask in a week when the lay of the land is clearer!

  7. Lukakuna
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Use one of two FT on Alli to Mahrez tonight?

    1. Railwayman
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      It is a risk. Wait if you can.

  8. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Otamendi + Lingard > 5.6 + Arnautovic worth doing?

    2FT

  9. Delhidynamo
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Ota to Mortitz

    NOW or now?

  10. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Let's face it, once you're under c. 25k in rank, you need good luck to make real strides

    1. My Name Is Prince
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Of course

    2. ZeBestee
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      True, top 10k even more difficult.

    3. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I don’t know if I agree with that. There is a point where you need to be bold but top 25k is hardly the upper echelons. Take Az for example, sub 1k, teams are similar so he needed a punt like captaining Lingard last week to try and make a difference. I think top 25k it’s still pretty easy to move up if you have team value.

    4. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I just don’t think it’s luck. I look at myself and I’ve fallen from inside the top 4K to around 8k over the past two weeks. Christensen has been a shocker for me the past two weeks but ultimately the people going past me have Alonso rather than Christensen. That’s not luck, it’s my decision to stick with Christensen and deploy the money saved elsewhere and it’s down to me and that’s what’s cost me.

  11. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 17 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Overall #2 captained Aguero.
    Getting close up the top

    1. Holding Matip
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      His team is so far from template

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      He seems like a casual to me.

    3. Railwayman
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Good move from him. But the leader stil has Kane, Salah, Firmino and Son and the second only Ox.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        True, points in the bag helps at least.

  12. Holding Matip
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    After having done Hazard to Salah and owning Christensen, the start to my GW couldn't have gone worse...

    Somehow managed to end up on 68 points, I think I deserve a brag after that!

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Kun captain??

    2. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Not really, there should be a no gloating rule on here unless you’re one of the people big enough to own up to horrible GWs.

      It’s usually people outside the top 10k who brag as well I notice.

      1. Holding Matip
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        If it makes you feel better I got a shambolic 52 last gw.

        Is there a rule saying you can't brag unless you're in the top 10k? Being in the top 10k is a brag as is

  13. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Salty Kun non ownwers spotted everywhere.

    Don't blame them tbh. I didn't cap Kane for his hatties.

    But few are Rearlly SALTY. 😆 😆

    1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I don’t know why people get upset. I don’t have Kun, we all knew he’d start, we all had the option of getting him in.

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Well said.

    2. Sims
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      At least we post when we have bad scores

      You've been hiding for ages.I wonder why

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Correct. You've all info on my personal life.

        I gotta give it to you.

    3. My Name Is Prince

      Of course we're salty, that's a basic human feeling 🙂

      That's the beauty of fpl
      Only as good as your last score. Well done to all Aguero captainers. Hope Kane can get his usual brace tomorrow.

  14. The Polymath

    Right Kun owners you've had your fun. Now it's time for us Kane captainers to enjoy our hat-trick. 😀

    1. Totti
      • 9 Years

      good luck pal 🙂

    2. Isco Disco
      • 8 Years

      Be ready for a kane blank tomorrow. It's immenent

    3. Alexis Nonsense

      minimum 4 goals or I'm out

  15. Totti

    first time this season to choose the right captin 🙂
    thanks god 🙂
    changed my captin @11:27 from kane to aguero 🙂
    don't know why i did this 🙂

    1. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years

      wow 🙂

    2. Drosiah
      • 11 Years

      Did mine the other way round...

      1. Totti
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        ooops
        dunn worry
        chill out kane will pay off

    3. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Nice one!

      1. Totti
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        thanks pal 🙂
        its good luck 🙂

  16. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    But one thing I cant understand is considering Morata and lukaku as present and kun as past. Lol. Maybe kun has lost his attributes but when it comes to FPL and goals never ever discount him

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      not as good as he once was, but he's still bloody good

    2. MTPockets
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Agree, particularly with their squad this season - just look at how his goals today were created.
      But we can't have them all, every week.

    3. Totti
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      right 🙂 he is the basis of FPL

    4. Alexis Nonsense
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Kane has taken his place as the FPL king of kings, but Kun is still right up there

      Firmino 2nd

      then the wannabes

      Laca, Morata, Lukaku

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Kun is not that far behind Kane in terms of FPL points. If Kane blanks tomorrow the complexion changes completely. Some main players FFS have ignored till now are kun, mahrez, arsenal defender like bellerin and Ramsey before his injury

  17. the snazzy viking

    Thoughts on this for a potential -8?

    Richarlison âž¡ Shaq
    Lingard âž¡ Fraser

    4. Totti
      • 9 Years

      no no wait before doing anything drastic
      wait and after the end of gameweek reassess

  18. NestorC

  21. KJT123
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Well done all Kun owners. It was the obvious move to get him in and captain him this week but I decided to stick to the boring template and get Firmino instead. You now have him for a plum home tie against WBA, probably another hat-trick.

    1. Nascimento
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Lol absolutely no chance of a hat-trick against WBA

      1. MTPockets
        8 years, 6 months ago

        They have a worse away record than Newcastle.

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years

      I am thinking captaining kun. But slightly my gut says Salah. Need to see Salah performance

    3. doy
      • 8 Years

      Cheers, brought in Kun in DGW22 due to his fixtures and Jesus being out. Paying off now but captained Kane this week. Let's see!

        Unreal as in if Messi did it people would have built him a statue and shot it into space and worshipped him as their new lord and saviour.

        I lost track of how many Newcastle players he ran it past. Sensational.

    2. Totti

    4. FlockofSeagulls

      No. Would have had to take a -34pt hit to get it him so not worth it.

    Is it me or is it when a certain topic is discussed on the scoutcast it's almost immediately blown apart? Like whatever trend is in motion the scoutcast put the curse on it!

    The obvious and correct choice.

    Is it fair to say that the Fab Five have egg on their face? 😀

    1. Sims

      You are aware that firmino hasn't played yet?
