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.

      Unlucky mate. Still a lot of players to go and lots of people will be getting 1 pointers off the bench this week.

    Nothing to do with football but my missus asked me to make her some tea earlier. I’ve just had a text from her asking which teabags I used. Turns out there’s such a thing as laxative tea. 😀

      Me too

  6. LIARS POKER
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    A) Daniels
    B) Mawson
    C) Bauer

    Who would you rather have for the next few games? If I don't get Bauer now will still get him in ahead of GW31 for Ogbonna

    1. The Wise Owl
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Wait and assess. Currently Bauer looks a great option if Stoke can keep clean sheets.

  7. Teror
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Yowzah! Mourinho's done me like a kipper by bench Pogba AND Martial. Luckily I captained Salah while my minileague rivals went with Aguero and KdB. Might not be such a tragedy in the end.

    Any chance Pope keeps his BAP?

  12. Maddi Son
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    If United are 2 or 3 up by half time, do you recon Pogs still comes on at some point? Think I'd rather have Walcott(c) than a 20 min cameo

    1. The Wise Owl
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Hopefully Pogba stays on the bench and I get a Chilwell clean sheet.

      1. Pieterke30
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Sorry to break it to you but Chilwell is on the bench too

      2. Over Midwicket
        • 14 Years

        Chilwell isn't playing.

      3. Odikostar
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        he's not playing

    2. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      He will come on unless injuries/red cards cause a substitution or two.

    3. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Dunno. Depends how peevish Mourinho is feeling and how much he wants to punish him for daring to lose to Spurs.

      He's a grade A nob...

      1. Pieterke30
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Pogba was very poor and tactically inapt in that game tbh

        1. RÏɠBY
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          but to bench him is pretty childish
          have a word make sure it doesn't happen again.. or better still play him in his proper position
          but no.. he's such a baby & now i see why chelsea downed tools against him

    4. Pooodle
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      I’d be very surprised if he didn’t get at least 25 mins regardless of the score.

    5. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      He'll come on at some point, winning or otherwise.

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA

        Walcott captain?! 😮

  13. Winners900
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Got Otamendi,Sterling & Aguero(C).
    Did Christensen+Mahrez -> Jones & Pogba -4p.

    Any worse?

    1. JohnnyMagrinho
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Oh mate that is harsh.

      I wouldn't worry too much about Ota, Sterling and Kun though - everyone has them it seems, so shouldn't impact you too much, although (C) on Kun is gonna sting..

      But those transfers... why wouldn't you think Jones and Pogba would start?! I swear Mourinho does shit like this just to mess with Fantasy managers. Only explanation!

    Sanchez as (C), gotta troll us right? He ain't ready

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Pogba not starting is bad news. He will have to take the ball from midfield to attack.

      1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        That too.

      2. Bartowski
        • 15 Years

        Pogba didn't start for Arsenal and Sanchez seemed to do okay...

        1. Somalion
          • 16 Years

          Hopefully United get Ozil on the pitch soon

    2. Big_Andy_GAWA

      😮 I want 0-0 on this as will likely have Baur coming off bench...

    3. yakirh
      • 10 Years

      Bold move!
      I hope he will haul!

      1. Salarrivederci

        Ye but already looking less likely to result in a red arrow 😉 Sterling 3 points and Agüero 2 😉

      Yes because I finally benched Adrian

  18. aarrgghh

  19. seewhyaxe
    • 9 Years

    Wow i just realised I've got Pogba, Chilwell and Jones in my starting lineup.

    Ogbonna, Quaner and Kenny on bench

    1. yakirh
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Pogba and Chilwell will come off the bench

  20. Positive vibes

    Sum up my season then.

    Kabasale off the bench for Jones. Guaranteed red and og!

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA

      He play for Watford? Newcastle?

      1. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Watford. He did get me a sub cleanie last week, but its chelsea this week

  23. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Seriously.

    Pogba played up front for a couple of games, because Mourinho had his hand forced,nand he was absolutely unplayable...brilliant...same position as he did so well in at Juve.

    Then Mourinho decides to play him at CDM again where he's a bit kak and lo and behold he was a bit kak.

    Then Mourinho drops him for being kak at CDM against a really good Spurs team.

    Who's the real nob in all that?...

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Lingard? 😉

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        I like Lingard....but if anybody thinks he's a better No10 than Pogba they're living in a dream world.

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          I doubt anyone does, but he is bigger nob

          1. RÏɠBY
            • 15 Years

            😆 😉

        2. banskt
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          The other way around. Pogba is a better CDM than Lingard.

    2. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Wakey, for thinking he knows everything behind the scenes at a football club and for assuming that he understands tactics better than one of the best managers in the world.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Mourinho is a crap manager who's had hundreds of millions of pounds thrown at him.

        Just look at some of the players he got rid of as being no good(KDB,Salah and co).or some of the ones that won't even loom at him(Hazard)

        As man manager he's garbage and any behind the scenes problems are entirely of his own making.

        1. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          I have only managed teams on FIFA, while he has won almost every major trophy.

          When I don't agree with one of Mourinho's decisions, I admit he knows something that we don't.

      2. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Nah I'm with Wakey here. Pogba is best in a mid 3 on the left. This is well known. Play him in a defensive role like at Spurs and you are tactically inept.

        1. Dr Dream
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          It's not just the fact that he's poor there but the fact that he showed himself to be nearly unplayable further up the pitch. So why's he on the bench?

          1. Somalion
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 5 months ago

            Mourinho has decided today was the day he needs to make a statement about ego and individual errors.

            I disagree with it 100% but I've long since given up trying to understand Mourinho's decisions.

      3. Maddi Son
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        To be fair, he raises a valid point.

        If De Bruyne & Salah signed for United, everyone would describe them as flops. We wouldn't see anything close to the form we've seen from them. Putting shackles on your best players deserves to be criticised. You spend stupid money on these players because they can unlock defences. You don't play them out of position.
