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.

    How does Pope and Lingard to Pickford and Shaqiri for free sound?

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

      Could be ok.

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Not sure about Pickford personally

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Stoke keeper instead?

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

          Got zero trust in Stoke's defence. Could try and get Schmeichal

          1. Royal5
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Lambert looking to turn things around. Everton defense not exactly rock solid either.

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

              True but today was their first clean sheet in ages against a team with a woeful attack. Will need to see more from them first

    3. MTPockets
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Pickford has LEI, ars (who are good at home)

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

        Was considering it a long term move but got to play for every gw Will try to stretch to Schmeichel instead then, cheers

    4. Ron_Swanson

      Bit crap

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

        Cheers, back to the drawing board then

    5. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…

      Looks good to me.

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    I have (a) Gomez + chamberlain to play and a lead of 8 points in my head to head.
    My opponent has
    (b) Son and Firmino still to play.
    Even with an 8 point lead I think i will lose. Who wins the Gameweek guys, A or B?

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

    kun (c) salah and kane owners one goal from each would suffice

    yea

    One man saw this coming from Mahrez 😎

        Jonty!

        1. Syd.
          • 17 Years

          Well I suppose if you swing a golf club 100 times you will eventually hit one good shot

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

      Would you get Mane instead of him?

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

        See how Mane does tomoz.

    3. MTPockets
      8 years, 6 months ago

      You don't have him though.

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

        Do as I say not as I do.

  5. Ten Season Wonder

    Anyone know when Jesus is back fit again? hahahahahaha

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

      2 weeks

  6. Blanka
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    2 transfers, plan is Ageuro to Firmino and either Richarlison or Lingard to Mahrez - but probs after City play West Brom. So got a transfer to play with this week. Although if Kun does similar against West Brom will be hard to sell!

    Thinking Richarlison or Lingard to Shaquiri?!

    Thoughts?

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

      Don't do nothing for now. Wait and see what happens the next few days.

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

    I urge caution to people thinking about splurging out on Shaqiri.

      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      What's your reasoning?

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

      People are fed up with Lingard

    2. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Did Lingard to Shaq yesterday already. Saved $, instead of splurged.

      1. LǝgleSs e|even
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        End enjoying the pts so far. 🙂

    3. Prøfeßör …
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Injury-prone is the main downside but he's a good pick.

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Missed only 2 games all season!

    4. MTPockets
      8 years, 6 months ago

      It's a more-points-than-richarlison consideration.

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

      I aready got him. Be ahead of the curve with calaculated punts

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

    A) Ota and Lingard ----> Jones and Mahrez (-4)
    B) Next week Albrighton ----> Shaqiri for free

    Good moves?

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

      Jones got pretty bad fixtures? What about Maguire instead?

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

        It can be too. Would you do it?

  9. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    A Salah and Firmino haul required.

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

      Son and Kane too.

  10. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    I am thinking of saving FT this week, barring no injuries. Then probably take a -4/8 to get Christensen and Lingard out.

    Looking good?

    Adrian
    Otamendi Christensen Ogbonna
    Alli Salah Sterling Arnie Lingard

    What the heck is going on with BPS system ?? Mahrez was on 3 bonus points at the end of the game. I am just checking now and it seems like he will barely get 1 point !!
    I just can't understand how this points system works at times...giving false illusions to players !!

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

      Same as it works every week. Negative factors removed at the end of the game

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

        Oh, didn't know this!

    2. Gaffers
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Didn't Vardy get the winning goal? (ie nobody was in front until he scored)

      Those get added afterwards

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

        Yes, 3 bps for a winning goal.

      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      The bonus points are revised after 90mins; for example, points for the 'winning goal' can't be awarded until the game is finished. In that case, Vardy got them and therefore moved to 3 bonus pts.

    3. Top 210 Club
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Winning goal baps and shots and passes off target all gets revised

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

      He won't get that 1 BPS.

    5. 824545201
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      He is not getting a single bonus point.

  12. Bainesill
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Zanka, Richarlison, Kane to Maguire, Mahrez, Firmino (-4)?

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Lol, no.

  13. The Left Duke #3
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    As a non Aguero, Hazard or Man U defender owner....today was a very bad day

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

      There's always next week, same for most of us (minus the United defender probably)

      1. The Left Duke #3
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Ya not owning a MU DF especially Jones is really hurting. Have Alonso, Otamendi and the template attackers so will go without MU DF against Spurs but will try get one in then

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

      Same here but not complaining as things have gone well over previous 13 weeks (With just a couple of red arrows).
      25 points (With first -4 for weeks) but I still have Kane (c), salah, firmino, alli and hopefully TAA to play. Stood at 38k but that will change dramatically tonight no doubt. C'mon Harry make my day again.

    3. Wetdream
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Taking out Jones instead of Christensen for Alonso about 4 or 5 weeks ago worked out well for me....

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

    Stoke had the best defensive stats of all the teams that played today.

    XG Conceded of just 0.20.

      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      'They played Huddersfield' is enough of an explanation.

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

      No Wimmer helps!

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      How much of that to do with playing Huddersfield?

  15. JJeyy
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Who wins in cup, alot riding on pool game:

    Me - 5 points, Eriksen, Son and Fabianski
    Opp - Salah, Firmino

    1. Top 210 Club
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Tight

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

      Quite possibly your opponent.

  16. Sánchez
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    No more goals this gw would be ideal

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

      1 for salah ox and kane,son would be ideal

  17. Greeeno
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Hi.....not seen it mentioned elsewhere today.

    During the utd bur match earlier DDG got to 2 saves very early. Around the 60th minute Mee had a looping header which almost caught out Mr de Gea and he pushed it over from beneath the bar. Burnley got a corner. Mr De Gea didn't receive a save accreditation for this. I presumed he would.

    It was an attempt on target and DDG took action to prevent it going in.

    Will FPL retrospectively alter this? is it just missed? I only ask as it would a) give Dave a save point and b) potentially give him a bonus point too.

    Can I query it with FPL??
    Anyone else see this??
    Captained Aguero by the way

    x

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

      Won't change at this point

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

        a response from the main man....hello....blatantly wasn't gonna hit the bar. Did u see it??

        I was waiting ages for the 3rd save

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

      it hit the post

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

      I know what you mean, but I think it was going on the crossbar so it was a shot off target.

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

      - You can query it, but it won't change their minds
      - I didn't, but would like it to be true, lol
      - You pr*ck 😀

      I think if DDG hasn't been given an extra save point & more BAPs by now, it is very unlikely to bump up before the points update. I'd be delighted, but not betting on it.

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

        haha, thanks for the reply

  19. Slam
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Does Christensen need to go? I keep holding on hoping he'll finally complete 60 minutes next week.
    3 good fixtures coming up but will he even got on the pitch 🙁

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

      Trolled again, considering --> Jones, as I can't afford Alonso

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

    GW25: Ota and Lingard ----> Jones and Mahrez (-4)

    GW26: Pickford and Quaner ----> Elliot and Wilson (-4)

    Stay with Albrighton and Wilson and 5th mid and 3rd striker

    Thoughts?

  21. Forza Papac

    Kane ill again?

      • 11 Years

    Is anyone looking to get Kun in for Kane for the next 3 and then getting Harry back?

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

      Just did that..

    2. MTPockets
      8 years, 6 months ago

      yes

    3. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      It does look reasonably sensible

    4. gmac
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Just did it. Fixtures work out perfectly.

  24. 824545201
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Morata gifted you people an obvious, easy way of getting Aguero in for the Newcastle fixture and many still passed up on that opportunity.

    1. MTPockets
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Nice one Marty

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years

      The fax number speaks the truth.

  25. mrwinner
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Kane missed a training session in Spain this week due to illness but sounds like he is 50/50 for tomorrow.

  26. the snazzy viking
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Give Richarlison one last chance? Or ditch for Shaq?

    1. MTPockets
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Probably selling as few chances today, although Rich himself didn;t look so bad.

  27. George James
    • 11 Years

    Congrats and fair play to Kun owners. It’s hurting (non owner) but hey ho.
