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.

        Do you think it was his goal?

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

          His hair is practically a part of him

          Fellaini headers should not count then?

  3. The HurriKane
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Salah Sterling Arnie _____ _____
    Firmino Quaner Kane

    A) Ota and Lingard ----> Jones and Mahrez (Albrighton as 5th mid)
    B) Ota and Albrighton ----> Maguire and Mahrez (Lingard as 5th mid)

    A or B?

    1. UshFPL
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      A

      1. The HurriKane
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Ok. Would you do it for a -4?

        Also, I can do Albrighton to Shaqiri for 5th mid, would you do it?

  4. sully29

    So, which players are you most looking to get into your team atm?

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

      Vvd or magu for Christensen atm

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Mahrez probably.

    3. BobBradleysOpportunity
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      lanzini injured for me, considering shaqiri

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

      Walcott for me.

      1. UpAndAway
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        How did Walcott look today?

    5. Drosiah
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Willian for me, I only have Alonso

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

      One of Hazard or Mahrez

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

      Thinking Mahrez and Chilwell in for Son and Duffy, have 2 FT, but will wait a few days.

      1. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        They seem like sensible moves alright.

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

      Riyad

    9. Bragazeti
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Either Mane or Mahrez.

    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

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

      Kind of banked on Chelsea beating Arsenal so did Lingard > Arnie yesterday. Will ride out GW28 without using FH.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        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!

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          *as City/United/Chelsea ownership is quite high. (Arsenal somewhat less.)

    2. UshFPL
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      If Chelsea win I'll only have to ditch Lingard or Sterling to field 11, not too bad

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

    Is Niasse likely to stay in PL? If so which club do you think?

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

    Aguero AND Kane is around about 10% live ownership.

    Thought it would be higher than that...

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Much higher in mini leagues though.

    2. Reuser
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Surprised by that - although as an owner of them both, delighted.

    3. andy85wsm

      21% in top 10k

  8. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    14 with 6 to go. There is a reason I almost wildcarded just to get Aguero. Wll you win some and you lose some.

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

    Willian has to be nailed now

    1. Drosiah
      • 11 Years

      I can’t see why not

  10. Red Dagger ✪
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Many weeks this season I didn't pick Aguero so I got more points. Just sayin 😉

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years

      Hard to tell with that rank. 😉

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Ouch. Thanks for the support 😉

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years

          I'm not sure why I voted you up but making me laugh always works 😉

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

      it's been proven beyond doubt that firmino's been the better pick lately. one haul doesn't change that

    3. drughi
      • 16 Years

      no you didnt judging by your rank

      1. Red Dagger ✪

  12. #FPLBhuna

    26 with 5 to go

    Any worse out here?

    What a meh week

    1. MTPockets
      8 years, 6 months ago

      yes worse

    2. AzzaroMax99
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      32(-4) pre-bonus with Kane(C), Alli, Firm and Salah to go.
      We will see what happens.

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

        14 with 6 to go. So worse.

    3. Homo Neanderthalensis
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      81 with 2 to play. Meh indeed lol

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

    Wonder Salah's price tag next season

    He just blasts every FPL asset ever (maybe I've missed some?)

    Forget Sanchez, Hazard at their peaks, this dude has beaten them in just half a season

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      He'll be in Madrid.

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

        Sure

        Liverpool is the new Arsenal (farmer team)

        And we get a washed off Ronaldo to PL in return...

    2. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I wonder will he be classified as forward next year, that is the question.

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

        Sanchez never was, although he could as easily as Salah be classified as forward

        Lets not hope so

        1. Collie01
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          To be fair I think it would be no harm if some players were re-classified as forwards.

    3. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      He’ll need to keep it up for the rest of the season to beat Suarez’s best.

  14. GreennRed
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Keep your wildcard tonight. 1 bad day doesn't break a season. Tomorrow could alter your mood and a later WC near DGW can be more rewardsome. It's a word 😉

  15. andy85wsm
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Aguero was such an obvious pick this week - imagine not going for him vs Newcastle (h)

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

      I can't

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        You could if you tried!

    2. Sims
      • 9 Years

      just seen your team. same xi as me

      1. andy85wsm

        Unlucky 🙁

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

      i bought him for a hit but captained kane

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Still on for a great score!

    4. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Great advice on not restructuring for Aguero 😆

    5. AzzaroMax99
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I don't have him. Have Kane(C) & Firmino. It could be better or worse, wait and see.

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        For sure!

    6. Norman Conquest
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      11 in 11 previous daft not to put (c) on him

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Looks that way.

        Won't always get a goal given that wasn't his though 😉

    7. Dirty_Harry
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Easiest captain choice this week, I was never in doubt

  16. GENERATION X

    kun capper and haz seller with christensen so a mixed day!

      Did you mean Sun?

      1. Totti

        no son

  18. pablo discobar
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Willian only played cos of no morata.

    I have funds for lingard to mikhitarian- decent option if he goes arsenal?

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I'd forgotten about Mkhi.....

    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    With a possible blank soon, Lingard>Shaqiri looks like a no brainer.

    1. drughi
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      looking at the same transfer, watford at home next plus 2 good fixtures after that

    2. MTPockets
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Did you watch the game - Shaqiri any good beyond the assist?

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

        Man he missed to one-on-ones plus created lot of chances. I took a punt on him this week but feel he is worth it

        1. MTPockets
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Thanks

        • 11 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        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.

        1. MTPockets
          8 years, 6 months ago

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

    3. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Shaqiri?

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

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

  19. Lucackadoodledoo
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

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

    1. Rust Cohle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

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

    2. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

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

  20. Rust Cohle
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Any chance TAA starts?

    1. drughi
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      hope not, have gomez

      1. Rust Cohle
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Weak opponent. Seems like the Klopp rotation policy

  21. Pieterke30
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Just a quick hellooooo to all the Aguero doubters who are stupidly gonna get rid of Kane to get Kun next week.

    Kisses
    Pieterke

    1. Rust Cohle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      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.

      1. Pieterke30
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Exactly

        But Im sure Im gonna read LOOOOAAAAADS of people doing the move I mentioned next week

    2. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I have both but stuck the armband on Sergio

      1. Pieterke30
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Well I have both too but captained Kane... we’ll see

        Just couldnt resist after all the banter against Aguero last week.

        Where is COKEY5MURF tonight?

  22. NestorC
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Who will score more in next couple

    A) Mahrez and Azpi

    B) Sane and Alonso

    Cheers

    1. Homo Neanderthalensis
      • 12 Years

      B

  24. Drosiah
    • 11 Years

    Genuinely don’t understand why I keep seeing all these Son transfer out posts, Am I missing something? Within the last 4 weeks he’s got 36 points

    1. MTPockets
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Probably Mahrez
