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.

    Why didn't I start Shaw?

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

      Not shaw

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

      Not first choice

    3. GreenArrows
      • 9 Years

      I have no idea either, would have played 90 or 0 so should have started him

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

      No idea. He either starts or doesn't play.

    Need Pope save Kun penalty and KDB score rebound now.

    Glad I went Hazard (c) over Aguero

    Haha decent start to the gw with only having sterling played so far.

    Ota cleanie wipe out

    And bringing in Smalling this gw over Jones

    And not owning Kdb or Aguero.

    Brought Martial in for a hit 🙁

      People were asking "Son to Martial for -4?" on here earlier... I didn't do it for free..

        Didn't see that, did it on my own basis as a punt instead of Mahrez, hopefully he can nab a late winner after coming on for a disappointing Sanchez

    Exactly what City deserve tbh after missing all those chances

    No Stones, no CS.

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

      Hopefully performs for us in the World Cup. Need his creativity in a 343 alongside Jones and Maguire.

    Just when City need a late goal specialist ... Pep subbed him .. Lol

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

      Pep fraud

    Classic Burnley. Gudmundsson has goals in him, not so much at burnley. Great effort, hopefully Kün goes havoc and wins them the game. Ota > Goalman really tempting now

      My captain benched

        🙁

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years

      Why would you captain a defensive midfielder?

      1. Chenku╰☆╮
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Punt

    The only enjoyment I get out of fantasy at this point is seeing Otamendi clean sheets ruined. Absolutely beautiful.

    1. Zilla
      • 8 Years

      Yep

    Otamendi last minute winner incoming ..

  14. Ginkapo FPL

    Sterling locked his CS in... LOL at Aguero

    1. Deano
      • 13 Years

      Sterling cappers rejoice!

  15. Rupert The Horse

    Guess that’s why so many sold Ota.

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

      Hopefully not for Jones lol.

  16. Deano

    8 years, 1 month ago

    I’m thinking Mou wasn’t real happy with that Spurs performance!

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He set it up with his stupid formation

      1. Giovanni Giorgio
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        He should've dropped Lukaku too. Been horrible for quite some time now.

        --------Alexis----------
        Martial--Pog---Mata/Lingard/Rashford

        If only he would try that..

    2. Differentiator

      Sherlock Holmes detected

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

      Yes but "punishing" by benching against Huddersfield proves nothing...

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

        I suppose. But it was rumoured he’d drop due to Spurs.

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

      It was a horrendous performance. No player should think they're undroppable. Hopefully Pogba reacts the correct way.

  17. Ruinenlust

    Aguero SUCKS

    Kun time!

  22. Boomerang V
    • 9 Years

    What a bad start 🙁

    Kun(c) and Sterling owner

  23. The Wise Owl

    Nice to see Pogba is nailed.

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

      I have him, but I think it was a good decision by Jose. He has good alternatives and if Pogba ever thinks he can't be dropped, he won't be playing at 100% every week. Scholes said he was fearful of losing his place throughout all his career, and he became the best CM of all time.

    2. Alex_thekid
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I done Eriksen to Marhez and then Marhez to Pogba wtf can't believe my luck doooooooh

  24. SirStevieG

    I want Jesus back next week so I can trade Kun

  25. COLLIN QUANER

    No clean sheet points for Aguero today

  26. Clintymints
