Dugout Discussion – Burnley vs Man City

The Gameweek begins under the rain at Turf Moor, as Burnley host champions-elect Manchester City.

For Fantasy managers, this immediately puts key assets and – for many – the Gameweek captain – under scrutiny.

Sergio Aguero takes on the Clarets on the back of a six-point return in midweek and a 17-point blast against Newcastle last weekend.

The Argentine has boosted his ownership by 295,000 managers ahead of the early kick-off, having scored both City goals in the corresponding fixture last season.

Kevin De Bruyne was rested in that match but starts today as he bids to extend his compelling form that has delivered a goal and five assists in his last six Gameweeks. However, he has produced just a single goal and assist in his last six on the road.

Raheem Sterling’s away record – with two goals and three assists in that same six-match spell – is stronger, though he boasts just a single goal in his last five Gameweeks.

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

    Thank god for the Christensen injury otherwise I’d had booted Danilo out this week. At last an appearance and some points!

      That's crazy using a man city spot for Danilo, well played

        Was a failed punt a few weeks ago and had more pressing transfers

        My Missus has him first on bench. 🙁

          How come? Did she not want to just put him on, and if he doesn't play use the other player as first sub.

    Bernardo assist and Danilo goal not exactly a rank killer. But is it Kevin 'Deep' Bruyne again today?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Not particularly.

    Why is my Nemesis so freaking perfect.

    Last week he captained Aguero just like me and this week swapped Aguero for Sturridge.

    Made Sturridge captain, whilst I have Kun the Blanker today!

    1. Hazz

      26 minutes have been played. What is wrong with you? Sturridge hasn't even been named on the team sheet. Get a grip man.

    Burnley players look deflated and like they want to go home. City have the psychological-edge SAF's teams had - fear.
