Sergio Aguero (£11.4m) was named in the Manchester City starting line-up ahead of a 3 pm kick-off against Brighton and Hove Albion.

The Argentinian striker is by far the most popular captain choice for Gameweek 7 so it will be a relief for his 52.8% ownership to see him on the team sheet.

How many minutes he will manage to rack up may depend on how the match is going, considering that Pep Guardiola has hooked him off around the hour-mark twice recently.

Meanwhile, both David Silva (£8.6m) and Bernardo Silva (£7.6m) have been named in the line-up too while Aymeric Laporte (£5.6m) makes his seventh successive league start of the campaign.

Jurgen Locadia (£5.4m) leads the Brighton line with Glenn Murray (£6.5m) on the bench.

Alexandre Lacazette (£9.5m) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.8m) start up front together for Arsenal while Sokratis Papastathopoulous (5.3m) not fit enough for a place on the bench. Rob Holding (£4.4m) comes in for him, while Henrikh Mkhitaryan (£7.0m) is among the substitutes again.

Just one change for Watford as Marc Navarro (£4.3m) comes in for the injured Daryl Janmaat (£5.0m).

There will plenty of interest in happenings at Goodison Park this afternoon as both Richarlison (£6.7m) and Aleksandar Mitrovic (£7.0m) go head-to-head for Everton and Fulham.

Spurs have switched to a back-three for their trip to Huddersfield with Kieran Trippier (£6.1m) and Harry Kane (£12.4m) hoping to benefit from the system change.

It looks like Kenedy (£4.9m) could be playing at left-back for Newcastle today although we will see once the match has kicked off. DeAndre Yedlin (£4.5m) has overcome doubts over his fitness to start the match at right-back.

Ricardo Pereira (£5.1m) returns to the Leicester side, but in a more advanced position than his previous berth of right-back. He has been deployed in attacking midfield.

  20. Surfeit of Lampteys
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Still baffled by masuaku as a midfielder. Just no.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      The FPL classification? If so, it's because. He played in midfield often last season.

      1. Surfeit of Lampteys
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        'Often'? No he played left wing back and left back. I'm gonna say predominantly here cos I can't say for sure but I have no recollection of him playing LW

      2. Surfeit of Lampteys
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        He played 1800 minutes so 20 games say. Give me 15 games to justify 'often' where he played further forward than LWB.

  21. Feloh
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    watching united is a painful affair nowadays

  22. Nice to Finally Michu

    1. DAZZ
      • 11 Years

      Easier than a pen his goal
