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.

    Sterling anonymous Aguero anonymous and drunk/high Ota half way to a clean sheet

      That’ll do nicely

    2. F4L

      you mean Kun had a 1 on 1, Sterling has got into a lot of dangerous positions in the box and Ota is looking like a guaranteed CS

    3. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years

      Sterling was much more involved than Kun and certainly not anonymous

  2. F4L

    How hasn't KDB got any points in that first half 😥

  3. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    KDB so unlucky not to be in the points yet

    Aguero back to being useless after the worst hat-trick of his career

    1. Sims
      • 7 Years

      This and all the hate the non owners got after his hat trick especially me I deserve an apology fromantic those people

        Apologies in advance for the double he's about to score, I'm sure they'll be awful goals.

  5. Big_Andy_GAWA

    Aguero should have placed that in near post. He should have scored that chance!!!!

      Firmino vs Huddersfield

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years

      Kane would have buried it

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        don't think so. Kane's hardly got a good conversion rate this season

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          I’m sure he is satisfied with his volume of goals lol

          1. F4L
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            I'm sure he is, but he's also missed a lot of chances this year.

      2. Cok3y5murf
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Kane missed plenty more chances last gameweek

    Does Burnley and Sean Dyches knows what closing down is? They're not even trying and letting Man City play around them.

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      They've done pretty well so far.

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I would love to see a big team just to pass the ball around the back for 45 mins once they're winning and see if a lowly team would ever change their boring tactics

      1. yakirh
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Why bring defender for a hit
        Jones could get max 6-7 points in this game

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Jones not playing

          1. yakirh
            • 8 Years

  10. banskt
    • 10 Years

    Pope 5 saves already. Last week Foster made a total of 6 saves.

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Which is annoying because he hardly racks them up...

  11. GreenArrows
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Hoping Otamendi gets a clean sheet and 2 bonus points. My ML rival doesn’t have him!

  12. Bobby
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    For 11 odd million you want somebody who is pivotal to the team. Aguero is no longer that for city

    1. JJO
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      4 goals in 2 is shaite

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Aye, pretty much gave up on this season! Not doing that bad but just don’t enjoy it anymore

  14. Alex_thekid
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Should have played Pope over Pickford again already on 5 saves ffs

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Pickford could easily rack up more

  15. KAPO KANE
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Game will open up a bit more for us Kun owners/captainers in the second half

    1. Zilla
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Kun brace in 90 and 92 incoming

      1. KAPO KANE
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Or them two to complete his hat trick 🙂

  16. _Gunner
    • 9 Years

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 7 Years

        Positive for Kane owners.

    Seems like second halves do not count here

    1. Zilla
      • 6 Years

      Yeah, when Kane doesn't score in the first half everyone is like blank again blablaba

        Bemba had a good source, its not looking good for Shakira.

        1. Now I'm Panicking
          • 9 Years

          No he didn't

            • 7 Years

            He said shakira...

          It was the Bournemouth twitter account

          Looked like the team sheet but could be squad list

          We will find out

          1. Rainer

            • 9 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Was obviously the squad list - how would they know the team this early in any case? Pretty sure an away team doesn't tell the home team their starting XI hours in advance
