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.

    Good start to the gameweek other than not owning Aguero.
    A bit like how the titanic had a pretty good voyage except for that iceberg.

        Aguero still worth bringing in? Or is it back to rotationville now with Jesus returning?

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

          Jesus isn't back yet. Until he is Kun is good to go.

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            Pep said 14 days didn't he?

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

              Aye something like that, but even when Jesus was around Kun wasn't rotated much. More than he normally would be but not alarmingly.

              1. Salah’s Sonnet
                • 12 Years
                6 years, 3 months ago

                true. Would you get him still if on a WC?

                  Definitely, if only to catch more price rises. You don't wanna price yourself out.

                6 years, 3 months ago

                Next game is squeezed in between the league cup final and a game against Chelsea. I doubt Agüero will play both league games.

                1. Salah’s Sonnet
                  • 12 Years
                  6 years, 3 months ago

                  Yeah, think i'll maybe leave getting Kun on WC.

                  That is a risk you have to think about taking, but today shows what you can possibly miss out on. I'd be happy with a performance like this alaongside missing a game.

                  1. Salah’s Sonnet
                    • 12 Years
                    6 years, 3 months ago

                    Fair enough cheers man, shall have to think about including Kun or not.

        2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…

          Kun doesn’t score well away

      • Viper

        Not owning Aguero hurts 🙁

        One of those gwks where I wish I didn't care as much

        1. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah. Was happy up until the hat-trick (being a KDB(c)), but the fourth goal hurt.

          1. Viper
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            Two hurt but was bearable. The 3rd & 4th were daggers. Missing out on a mega haul by a highly owned player is a killer

        2. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years

          Me too Viper, me too.

            Yep. I had got away lightly. It woukd have been worse if it happened last week

              6 years, 3 months ago

              Im sure those that havent owned
              and capped him have gained fairly well while the rest of us toiled.

        What % of top 10k had Aguero C ??
        Average looks abit low, possibly down to many Salah C's.

      • FDMS All Starz

        Is the return of Alderweireld mean spurs will revert back to a back 3 meaning son will miss out? Or will they carry on with a back 4?

      • Begbie.

        Feel like I've missed the boat on Kun with Jesus back. Going to have to make these points back elsewhere.

        1. MTPockets
            6 years, 3 months ago

            Jesus wasn't really getting the minutes before the injury.

            1. Jason Bourne
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 3 months ago

              He started the odd league game, which is enough not to pick Agüero at 11.9.

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

          Do any of Mark, Granville, Az, Andy or Jonty have Aguero?
          And anyone captain him?

          I can't access fpl website in china!

            Not sure about Granville but I'm pretty sure the others don't, could be wrong though.

              Ouch, I remember your strategy of owning both Aguero and Jesus at one time, difficult week for us non owners.

            DDG and/or Jones.

              • 8 Years

                Aye, DDG loves tough fixtures anyway. Plenty of save points. Maybe try to get him more than Jones.

                1. TLF
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 8 Years

                  I have the exact cash for Adrian to DDG.....need to consider 31 really but the move is tempting

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

            Depends whether you have FH left and when you want to use it.

            Swansea, Leicester, Burnley are the ones I'd look at, especially the latter two until the end of the season. I'd favour Fabianski, Maguire, Mee.

            Also consider Liverpool, Stoke, Everton, WBA if you're not using your FH in GW31. Again a few different price points in there (VVD, Bauer, Pickford, Hegazi).

        4. Drogo
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Kun (c) here along with Shaqiri, unfortunately I got 2 cleansheet on bench ), otherwise this could easily turned into a three-digit GW :/

          1. Viper
            • 14 Years

          • 9 Years

          One blank from 6 players, what a team. Shame all of that can be nullified by a manager with an awful team and Kun (C).

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

          How about these moves to allow a heavy front 3 in time for GW29? Would give me a potential 2 extra players for GW31.

          Azpi/Alonso/Son/Wilson > Lowton/VVD/Mili/Kane (-8)

          Would give me:

          Pope (Adrian)
          Jones VVD Lowton (Dawson Mbemba)
          Salah Sterling Shaq Walcott (Mili)
          Kane Kun Firmino

            • 7 Years

            Doesn't sound that bad then. I am expecting a modest goal from Sanch. That would be nice.

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

            Pretty disappointing for today, but the GW's not over yet. You will be disappointed tomorrow though, that's the main problem.

            36 from 5 with Aguero no C should I feel bad?

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

          51 with Alonso, Jones, Wilson and Salah(c) to come. Oggers 6 on the bench.
          Rival capped Sergio and is on 64 with Salah and DDG...could be worse, but was looking like a good catchup GW at halftime 🙁

          Let's be honest. Anyone who hasn't captained Salah is hoping for a blank tomorrow.

            isn't that the same every week for salah for about 10 gw's?

              But Kun(c) means you can really rise up the ranks if he blanks this GW

          Looks like there were a few big GW's to hit captains this year? How many did you get? A pathetic 3 here 🙁 but including Kun's today 🙂

          GW5 - Kun 20 pts
          GW9 - Kane 16 pts
          GW12 - Salah 16 pts
          GW12 - Haz 18 pts
          GW19 - Kun 16 pts
          GW19 - Kane 17 pts
          GW20 - Kane 17 pts
          GW24 - Kun 17 pts
          GW24 - Haz 16 pts
          GW27 - Kun 18 pts

            Kun is 21not 18

            *Obviously should be 21 for Kun today with baps.

            Also Kun has now scored 74 of his 162 points in just 4 games lol

            I'm 3k and only got one

              Hit 1. Ironically the Kane game against Liverpool when no one else went for him!

              ZERO. Sums up my season.

              • 7 Years
              6 years, 3 months ago

              Exactly none. Haven't had Kun all season, didn't have Kane for his consecutive hat-tricks, didn't even have Salah in GW12 (short-but-too-long-lived David Silva punt)

            FFix has me going from 3k to 23k as a non Kun owner

            Is it really going to be that bad?? 😯

                If it makes you feel better - I'm up 300k. To 600k...

                How many points to date?

                  Just checked - 23. You have 6 left so you should recover some of your losses tomorrow/Monday. I'd be surprised if you dropped below 20K tonight.

              i think i'm more chuffed with naughton's 11 points than Kun's 21

                I avoided getting him in last night for Yoshida. Was on the verge of doing and GW31 prevented me from doing it..

              Captained Aguero and dont own Sterling.
              First half was a nighmare
              Second half a revelation

              Extremes that make this game so manic to play

                Hi Triggerlips, I’d have thought you would revert back to old name and grav now you are doing better

              All the scout casters have similar teams,surprised Granville doesn't have Kun ,as he doesn't usually follow the pack.

              I really, really need Jones to play tomorrow. I avoided doing Yoshida to Naughton last night after being on the verge of doing it. Would have played him instead of Vardy. If Jones doesn't play I have Yosh and Danny Simpson (!) on bench.... =o/

              I have to share this guy in my mini league...he took an 8pt hit (had 2 free transfers) to do
              Aguero (21) to Aubameyang (2)

              De Bruyne (13) to Mkhitaryan (2)

              Niasse (12) to Jordan Ayew (2)

              Martina (5) to Gomez (to Play)

              That's got to be the roughest of the rough (or most stupid of the stupid) lol.

                The bottom 2 I get but the top 2 is just asking for it.

                season history would seen to be a giveaway.

                Selling 2 City at home to Leicester for 2 Arsenal with Spurs and City next he should just quit fantasy

                  That is incredible. But blatantly poor judgment...

              Already sold Kun for Kane. After his haul. Lol

                Best to wait and grab price rises. Kane may even drop as the casuals will all flip to Aguero
