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.

ARSENAL XI: Cech, Bellerin, Holding, Mustafi, Monreal, Torreira, Xhaka, Aubameyang, Ozil, Ramsey, Lacazette

    Captaining Doherty over Aguero's not looking bad now

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Did you actually?

      1. Planet Head
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Sure did. I figured Kun would be on for a maximum 8 points and Doherty has good potential to outdo that, so might as well roll the dice

        1. #FPLBhuna
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Rate that good luck

          Ive got him too but brought in and captained kane instead

          1. Planet Head
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Thanks, and nice one bringing in Kane!

  2. Texas Pete
    8 years, 1 month ago

    On a no Kun/Kane vibe. How deep is Moura playing now that Son is back?

    1. Texas Pete
      8 years, 1 month ago

      That's not rhetorical by the way.

    2. Kellz86
      8 years, 1 month ago

      My app shows he's partnering Kane up top

  3. The Overthinker
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Scenes when Chelsea Pool ends up 0-0 🙂

    1. Silecro
      8 years, 1 month ago

      as Alonso and Trent owner, that would be delightful

      1. The Overthinker
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Alonso and Robertson owner here o/

    2. Texas Pete
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'd take that to be honest.

    3. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      As Alonso and Robertson owner I’d be ok with that

    4. Holmes
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I would take 6pts from Salah and hazard tbh

      1. The Overthinker
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Azza,mane ,robbo, Alonso = 20 points

  4. pundit of punts
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Vardy + Sterling 8_)

    Incredible differentials doing the business again! 😀

    1. Rainer

      Making up for Lukaku.

  5. Rainer
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Kane only 17.9% EO in the Top10k.

    1. Cok3y5murf
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Noobs 😉

      1. Rainer

        😎

    2. LosBlancos

      I have him, but captained Rich 🙁
      Come on Rich, second half brace is needed!

      1. Il Papera
        8 years, 1 month ago

        If Rich plays on with knee injury

    3. Holmes
      8 years, 1 month ago

      goodie, not much damage

    4. fedolefan

      100% next week.

      1. Rainer
        8 years, 1 month ago

        And the rest.

  6. Deulofail
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Can't wait for 60 mins for the 15 point boost from Wolves players.

    1. Eden Wizard
      8 years, 1 month ago

      McArthy & Doherty here!

  7. The Overthinker
    8 years, 1 month ago

    One thing i observed this match is kun drops deep allowing Sane/ sterling to go into the box .....

    1. Emiliano Sala
      8 years, 1 month ago

      just in counter attack.
      kun totally a CF at ball possession

    2. Deulofail
      8 years, 1 month ago

      But if you otherthink about it, he is allowing himself more touches and you need touches to score, so he's more likely to score.

      1. The Overthinker
        8 years, 1 month ago

        😀 i likey this

    3. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      And the next time they lay it back to him rather than go across not an issue.

  8. Monkey Hanger
    8 years, 1 month ago

    And this is the week I stiffen Mitro.

    I can stop anyone scoring. 🙂

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Me too. Least I sold Arnie for him

    2. Deulofail

      Reported for explicit content

    3. Texas Pete
      8 years, 1 month ago

      The secret to this game is to watch my team carefully.

      Then do the exact opposite/

  9. how now brown cow

    Kaneless and traumatised.

    1. Judeksi

      never underestimate the power of KANE

      1. Deulofail
        8 years, 1 month ago

        That's what I used to say to the students before I beat them with a snooker cue.

        1. Deulofail
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Tbf they did the same back to me with "electrical HAZARD". We had a competative FPL league going.

      2. Sim Simma

        SugarKane

  10. DROP IT LIKE IT'S HART
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Fair play to those who brought in and Captained Kane this week.

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

      what about for us who bought but didn't captain? 😛

      1. Podge
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Still fair play

    2. Aftermath

    3. Chucky

    I’m afraid this ain’t it.

  12. F4L
    8 years, 1 month ago

    meh need Hudds to score. Damn Depoitre

  13. glufs

    Sterling and Kane. What is this, 2017?

  14. mir
    8 years, 1 month ago

    5 points from 4...
    Roll on tonights and Monday's games!

    1. F4L
      8 years, 1 month ago

      amen

  15. SantiClaus
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Laca clear pen and honesty. Refereeing like that is why diving exists...

    He should be fined and sacked and not be allowed to ref again

    1. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Bloody hell. Never allowed to do your job again if you make a mistake?

    2. Whazza
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Laca put the ball out though, no pen

    3. Rogue Todd
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Get a grip

  16. Old Wulfrunian
    8 years, 1 month ago

    So Kane is back.

    1. Holmes
      8 years, 1 month ago

      just for 2 weeks

    2. Rainer
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Back out of my team after next GW.

    3. Texas Pete
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Apparently.

    4. Podge
      8 years, 1 month ago

      It’s hudds

  17. We Will Klopp you
    8 years, 1 month ago

    So everyone will get Kane in now, only for him to blank with a yellow card v Cardiff and then blank v West Ham.

    1. F4L
      8 years, 1 month ago

      not touching him. Gotta get Vardy first, then Arnie

      1. We Will Klopp you
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Same, I'm happy with Arnie, Mitro and Kun. Want nothing to do with that troll.

      2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        8 years, 1 month ago

        This mate but all casuals having missed the boat on kane and will get him just seeing the cardiff fixture.Dangerous stuff but vardy looks really appealing for me with everton upnext

    2. Kellz86
      8 years, 1 month ago

      absurd notion

    3. Cok3y5murf
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Have no interest in owning him after Cardiff but very unlikely he blanks there

    4. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      8 years, 1 month ago

      he will blank vs west ham but cardiff not so sure as they are crap

  18. Differentiator
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Fickle players to sell aguero already! Mental. He will have 20+ goals by the end of the season ans that means a heck of a lot of points. Fixtures are fine

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yup clowns only see the next fixture vs liverpool and sell him

      1. Rusty71
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Maybe these "clowns" look at his upcoming fixtures and take into account the threat of rotation too!

  19. altan8797
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Guys guys guys, need seirous help over here. current squad

    Hart (boruc)
    alonso trip cook AWB suttner
    mane hazard sterling maddison (ward)
    Kun deeney king

    Want to bring in Kane but not sure as I also want to keep Sterling specially against burnley and spurs , so the options are

    a) Sterling King to Kane Fraser
    b)Mane King to Kane hoijberg
    c) dont get kane and deeney to mitrovic
    d)hold

    1. Klip Klopp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A doesn't make sense if you don't want to lose Sterling.

      Maybe C or D

      1. altan8797
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I know, thats the dilemma

    2. DGW Sane TC Fail....
      8 years, 1 month ago

      let the games finish for the game week first

  20. Klip Klopp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Worth swapping Foster to Leno?

    1. F4L
      8 years, 1 month ago

      yes

    2. Deulofail
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Why?

      1. Klip Klopp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 1 month ago

        to have an arsenal defender for 4.8 essentially

        1. Deulofail
          8 years, 1 month ago

          It's not thought is it. It's a goal keeper. He's competing with Foster in your team, not other defenders. And other keepers are probably better value imo. They also don't block a triple up on Arsenal if you decided you wanted one in the future. Besides, Arsenal defenders have/can have goal threat, but you don't need an Arsenal defender unless they are good value anyway. I'm not convinced

          1. Deulofail
            8 years, 1 month ago

            though*

            Didn't intend to insult your capacity for thought 😀

    3. Kellz86
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Leno/Patricio not a bad combo imo

  21. Piggs Boson
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Huddersfield are really bad. Pool play them soon, so will probably keep Salah over getting Kane tbh...

    1. olidooley
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Keep Kun too?

    2. Rainer
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Captains from GW6-9 playing vs hud & CAR 😀

      1. Klip Klopp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 1 month ago

        which ones?

        1. Rainer
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Kane Kane Salah Salah

    3. HurriKane
      8 years, 1 month ago

      aguero out then?

      1. Piggs Boson
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Dunno yet. Kun has scored more points than Kane.

    4. Klip Klopp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      good point

    5. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yup. That’s why I’m losing Kane after next week and getting Salah back.

      1. Pep says
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Some here. Sticking to my script no matter what happens next 2 gw's. Kane + Rich/Mad/Fra - Arnie + Salah

  24. Dynamic Duos
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Fair play to those who bought and (c) Kane, he was one of this gwks plans , but didn't do it in the end , because it didn't make sense to future transfers and plans.

    1. jtreble
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Nah, the math for Kane (C) for GW7/8 -> Salah for GW9 on FT looks very good to me.

  25. MiLK2018

    How can one check player ownership in top 10k?

    1. Volley127
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Go through each of the top 10k teams and count the players

      1. Khark

        Last Gw's, don't use the site much but you may be able to get GW7 through the link

  26. Rash
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Apparently Manchester United have held talks with Zidane.. think the problems stem further than Mourinho but would be good start.
