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.

    Is Jones out confirmed anywhere?

      • 13 Years

      No.

        Thanks, I will be stuffed if he doesn't play

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Nope. Just his sister tweeting he was feeling ill.

    Not liking the article prediction picture...please change it.

      It’s the look on Pep’s fave realizing Kun got a straight red seconds after missing his second penalty of the game.

    @samuelluckhurst
    Mourinho set to be ruthless today after the Spurs defeat. Juan Mata and Luke Shaw likely to start for United and whispers even Pogba may be dropped. #mufc

    Capped Pogba 🙁

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years

      what a week

    2. Numb
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Sounds like Jones is safe then

    3. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years

      stupid twist

    4. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldn't be the first time Luckhurst has spouted bollocks.

  5. Je suis le chat

    Always worried with a 12:30 Saturday captain, at least until the Aldi Shiraz kicks in!

  6. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Which gameweeks are likely to be blanks?

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      This one given how the early team news has started

    2. Rik Waller
      • 8 Years

      follow Ben Crellin on twitter

    3. Numb
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Not for ages yet

  7. Piggs Boson

    Kompany is so dominant. Without all those injuries he would have been the best CB/captain in the world.

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Agreed, City would have won the epl last year also.

    2. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      best CB in the world?

      LOL

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, remember how good he was becoming.

      2. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        You disagree then? 😀

      3. Bubz
        • 12 Years

        Why not?

  8. The Enlightener
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    So Burnley's plan today is to disrupt City flow with fake injuries?

  9. cjhewitt92

    Will Danilo become regular until Mendy back

  10. :

    Bardsley knackered. Lowton essential.

    1. Chucky

      Jafooli spewing..

  11. Mike Wall

    For the record I find Kyle Walker very Oxladian. The man has no brains for defending responsibilities and tactics. He is very strong and quite good with the ball going forward though. I take Valencia or Azpilicueta over him any time.

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Racist.

    2. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He looks like a rugby player to me, Ox a bit too. Both a bit too hefty!

  12. Spike ⚽️

    Jones red flagged on FFFix ?

    1. _Gunner
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      apparently there are some rumors for him not starting today, illness I think

      1. Spike ⚽️
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Hmmm

  13. Steinburg FC
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    will Sterlling playing on the left effect his out put?

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Let's see.

    2. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

  14. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Will Jones ever play again?

    1. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No

  15. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Mmh will be interesting to monitor the rotation at the back, as an otamendi owner I m concerned I have to say , might have to replace him and I d hate that but I can't afford a premium defender not being nailed

  16. CrouchDown
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    This is awful to watch as a non kun owner

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      It's awful not to watch as a Kun captainer.

    2. Dirty Harry
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I read your comment wrong without the "non" and thought you were on crack... I then realised you were feeling exactly like me; a non kun owner

      Following on my phone app is ever more stressful haha

    1. Bodie

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years

    3. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Why ????

  19. Bodie
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone gone in for Aubameyang yet! I got a him in immediately once I knew he’d signed...

    Too early?!?!?!?

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He's ill apparently.

      1. Bodie
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I heard that but....he’s been training yesterday and arsenalfantv seem to think he will start today

    2. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      almost did

    3. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I want Giroud personally

      1. Bodie
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        What about when Morata comes back to fitness?

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          And sits on the bench?

          1. Bodie
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Hmmm I think there would be a bit of rotation going on there, as they are very similar type players... also champions league back soon and Conte may fancy giroud for that and play Morata in the league.

  20. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    As much as I want City to lose, watching them play releases brain cum.
