Dugout Discussion – Man City vs Leicester

Saturday’s events conclude at the Etihad Stadium where the champions-elect Manchester City host Leicester City.

Fantasy managers will of course be focused on the home side’s attacking assets, with Sergio Aguero backed by 778,000 (13.5%) with the captaincy, including 26 of the top 100 – second only to Mohamed Salah (50).

The Argentine goes into this game with seven goals in his last four home Premier League matches and 10 in his last six in all competitions.

Kevin De Bruyne (3.8%) and Raheem Sterling (2.5%) are also among the top seven captaincy picks for the Gameweek and also boast exceptional records on home turf. De Bruyne has scored 33 points from his previous four, while Sterling has produced 37.

The City defence has been less productive, with just one clean sheet from their last five Gameweeks. Nicolas Otamendi – the top owned defender in the game (31.3%), starts his 15th successive match in all competitions today.

Leicester will be buoyed by City’s defensive record. They recall Riyad Mahrez to the bench after his recent absence following City’s deadline day bid. That leaves Jamie Vardy as perhaps their most likely source of Fantasy returns – he boasts goals in each of his last three Gameweeks.

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

    Had Kun on Captain till last minute. Nevertheless won't loose sleep til Salah plays anyway, should do fine i reckon.

      Keep telling yourself that...

      1. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        He has been doing really well all season long, so there is no reason for me to be concerned.

        1. Don Van Vliet
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          He's not going to get four, though, is he?

          1. arndff_
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            Hope so.

          2. ZeBestee
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            If he gets 2 i will be contented.

    Please don't play Alonso,so I can get Ogpoona off the bench

    1. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      But if Alonso plays he's got a very good chance of getting more than Ogbonnas 6

      1. gunner 2727
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        We'd all take the 6

    2. HD7
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Agreed, what are the Alonso news 50/50 or?

    3. JabbaWookiee
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      This. Already fuming Kenny came on

  3. MrMajeika
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    is it still worth getting Aguero in?

    1. FDMS All Starz
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Not now no

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Probably. It'd be nice if Pep clarified that he is nailed when Jesus is back.

    3. Wetdream
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Something i am pondering...

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Jesus may be back by next game.. ..

        I may get rid of kun now

  4. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Bernardo Silva + Hazard >

    A Eriksen Mahrez
    B Kdb Son
    C Eriksen Walcott

    1. FDMS All Starz
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      B

    2. Begbie.
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      KDB and Walcott instead of Son.

  5. Garlana

    1. Weeb Kakashi

    2. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      48 with Salah (C), Hazard, Alonso, Wilson and and Jones. First sub Niasse 😉

    3. Sharkytect
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      27. Gutted about that city match

    4. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years

      46 with salah(c), wilson, martial, hazard, Alonso left.

    5. Garlana
      • 9 Years

      21

    6. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      58 with Dave, Jones, Jessie, Mo and Callum
      Mili first off bench

    7. Lemongrab
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      35 with 4 to play

      1. Don Van Vliet
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        81
        Salah, Firmino, Wilson, Jones and Alonso still to play.

        1. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          That could be "quite reasonable"

    8. Regin
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      56 pts. after bps with 6 to go! Captained SergioKun Aguero!!!

    9. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      81 with 2 to play. Doing a double take...

    10. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      46 with 6 to go. Salad captain.

    11. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      26 from 4.

      DDG, VVD, Alonso, Hazard, Lingard, Salah (C) and Firmino to go.

      Should be okay, but that City. Match was a big rank dent!

  7. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Is kun to Kane a smart or a stupid move?

    1. Prison Mike
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Il still probably make the move with Jesus close to a return

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      ?

      Aguero has a great fixture next week!

    3. Lemongrab
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Kun will destroy arsenal

  8. TAT
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    I honestly don't know what to do with my team now. Can't think of any reasonable transfers, aside from maybe getting someone for Otamendi – but who? Can you trust the likes of Swansea or Stoke to keep regular clean sheets?

    1. Naboo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Maguire, Van Dijk, Monreal, Mawson all good picks imo

      1. HNI
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Maguire after shipping 5 goals?

        1. Naboo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Yes. Trick to mastering this game is to make informed punts on future games, not past ones.

          1. Fresh_From_Desh
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            Log off and deal with it tomorrow

      2. TAT
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        As an Arsenal fan, I don't know if you can trust them to keep clean sheets at all. Monreal may get the odd goal, but so can Otamendi.

        Van Dijk – probably a good pick for BGW, but will they keep clean sheets? United defense is an option, but fixtures doesn't look too good. The others? Well – it does give you money in the bank, though. Just so unsure what to go for…

    2. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      VVD.

  9. Naboo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Kun C and Niasse first on bench. Would never wish injury or pain on a player but a dodgy tummy would make a dream gameweek!

    1. Naboo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Salah would be the cherry on top

      1. Cry Me A River
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Hah.

        I'm actually hoping Salah doesn't play! That way, Aguero who is my VC atm would become my captain, and I get niasse off my bench! Lesser overall points but I'd be climbing more ranks.

        It's either that or having pogba getting ill but even then, i doubt Salah would get a hatty tmr.

        Then again, let's all hope we get a pleasant surprise

  10. TheCurseOfRaheem
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone else bottle Kun (C)? Swapped to Salah out of fear. Come on Mo...

    1. Naboo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      5 goals?

      1. TheCurseOfRaheem
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Will take 2 haha.

    2. SUPERMAN
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Exactly the same here.

    3. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

  11. DJDave1979
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    I'm seriously hoping Klopp thinks Salah needs a day off. I have Aguero VC and Cresswell first sub. Would be an enormous difference.

    1. Naboo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      This. Niasse on bench

    2. gunner 2727
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      I mean NOBODY deserves that amount of luck!! You should feel ashamed

    3. Hasselbaink Forever - Defoe…
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      I’m with you, Aguero VC and Ogbonna would come on

  12. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Jamie completely right about KDB. Best passer ever in the prem. Amazing player. Should be in contention for Ballon D'Or

    1. Begbie.
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Couldn't argue if he was nominated for it. Messi should win it tho.

  13. Legomané
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Just got a late FFFIX update with another Aguero goal... for a horrible half second I thought somehow the match was still ongoing and he'd bagged a 5th 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯

  14. Chucky
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Is 72 points with only 5 to go any good? 🙁

    1. Prison Mike
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Don't be that guy... I'm only on 68 with 5 to go 🙁

    2. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      You brag but this is a big problem for me.
      I'm on 77 with only Salah and Alonso left.

      Big drop on Sunday night incoming.

    3. BUZZBOMB
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Is 42 after BAPS with 10 to go any good?

      You know the answer so dont ask.

  15. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    A very interesting quarter of an hour or so

  16. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Seems like Kun read my half time peptalk. Exactly the reaction I was looking for 😎

    1. Begbie.
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Thank you! Any chance you can have a word with Wilson tomorrow? 🙂

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Did you see my response to your post?

  17. Alex_thekid
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Ffs just realised that both of my mini leagues rivals have Aguero but lucky for me neither has captained him but one captained Kdb the other Salah

  18. Karan14
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    This going to be a long 2 weeks with that rank drop!

    1. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      FPL pain

  19. klavan
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    So would you sell Aguero to Kane?

    1. Puzzle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      I was absolutely going to do it in any other scenario other than this. Have a couple of weeks to ponder anyway.

    2. Prison Mike
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Better fixtures plus Jesus is close to a return are a couple of reasons

  20. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Does anyone know who's getting the 3 baps in the City-Leicester game?

    Thanks in advance.

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Schmeichel

    2. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      I wonder, Sterling pretty close.

  21. I Have No Idea What I'…
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Planned Aguero > Kane for GW28 for several weeks. After that though I'm now thinking of using my wildcard to have both of them.

  22. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Kun should keep 3 BAPs after the deductions.

    1. AzzaroMax99
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      LoL

  23. Ode
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    I'm now about 50 points behind the ML leader (thanks Kun 🙁 ), however he has already used his 2nd WC and his FH where as I haven't. Do you think I still have hope?

    1. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Of course.
      Id say you are the favourite right now

    2. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      For sure, don't lose hope yet, plenty of time.

    3. ZaZaZu
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Unlikely, I've never had a 50 point gain on someone using chips when they haven't.

    4. TallestJohn
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Plenty of hope, you could yet win by 50.

    5. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Easily

    6. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      I am about 70 points behind a guy.He already used his FH.

      FH could get me about 30+ points and the remaining 40 could be easily done

    7. Ode
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks all!

  24. AzzaroMax99
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    22 pts from 6.
    Salah(C), Firmino, Wilson, Alonso & Jones to go.

    Terrible week so far!

  25. Winners900

    Thank you Aguero, I really needed that.

    Going to follow the plan Kane->Aguero->Kane now Kane got nice fixtures.

    Succesfull exit.

    1. BUZZBOMB
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Scenes when "all those casuals that still had Arnie today from DGW" get another Kun hattrick next GW... sticking to the plan too despite not captaining Kun today. Kane was a beast earlier.

  26. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    40 with 5 left.
    Kane(C)

    Should be a slight red isnt it?

  27. Legomané
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Ah well, just need a Salah hattie in a 3-0 win to break even 😯

  28. TallestJohn
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    1 bap for Sterling, non-owners trembling

  29. eazy
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    No pressure then Salah...

    1. BUZZBOMB
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      ^this. For once I went with the popular choice. Stars are aligning to tell me 60 point ML lead is going fast...

  30. Holding Matip
    • 6 Years

    When was the last time someone got more than 100 bps?? Aguerrooooooo
