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.

    Is Pogba > Maddison a good or bad move?

    Thanks.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Good if Maddison does well, otherwise bad.

    2. Totalfootball
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      100 percent good

  2. Totalfootball

    AZ has Jonny

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

      So?

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years

        Az fan club happy. That is so 🙂

  3. Hansel

    • 15 Years

    Kun -> (K)ane worth a -4?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      No

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      nope, could blank against Cardiff

  4. Texas Pete
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    On the bright side, come 60 minutes, my score could double.

  5. windowview
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Oh dear, not getting Kane is going to prove a huge and costly mistake...

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Jesus it’s only 2 goals, not exactly set the world alight has he previously, chill

      1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        This

    2. Sif
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Relax, doesn't play Hudds every week.

      1. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        ...yeah, but he plays Cardiff next week

      2. BbBb
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        But Cardiff at home next week in a gw where he's def the best c option

      3. Cilly Bonnolly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah but he plays Cardiff next week. If he scores a couple there my plan to get him in for two weeks will have worked out nicely.

    3. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Well that all depends on who you would have had to get rid of and the following weeks. It’s not a one week game and presumably would require 2 transfers the week after next to ditch him.

      1. Pep says
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Wh said anything about ditching him? Aguerro can be the route to Salah just as easy

  6. SantiClaus
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months 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
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

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

    2. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Laca put the ball out though, no pen

    3. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$

      Get a grip

  7. noahzark22
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    15 minutes and no score in EVE vs FUL. This is not what I signed up for.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      0-0 would be typical 😀

  8. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    And this is the week I stiffen Mitro.

    I can stop anyone scoring. 🙂

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Me too. Least I sold Arnie for him

    2. Deulofail

      Reported for explicit content

    3. Texas Pete
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

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

      Then do the exact opposite/

  9. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    72 points and Salah, Alonso and Fraser to play. Is it good? What s average if you know?

    1. Butcher
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Average is 88 so you are below I'm afraid

    2. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Shut up, you know that is a good score.

      Be a green arrow

    3. CarsonYeung
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Awful score mate, I'd be embarrassed with anything less than 80

    4. Steve McCroskey
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      No, delete your team

    5. Harper_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      BIG red arrow, might as well delete your account tbh

    6. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Average

    7. DantheManinaPan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      lol, 4 here

    8. CostaCoffee
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Average is around 79 with 3 left to play. Always next week bud

    9. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Average upward of 90. Most here triple captained Kane and bench boosted triple wolves defence I'm afraid.

    10. Ross From Friends
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      NI HO CHA DI MA!

  10. Ghost Gooner
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    We got lucky with that (K)un goal 😛 otherwise it would have been a blank

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      😮

    2. Balls of Steel
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      You can say that again... Phew!!!

    3. Zilla

      mad

    4. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years

      Not pep subs off aguero only if the match is sealed

    5. Somalion

      Cheers Michael Owen

      1. Jafooli
        • 13 Years

        😆

    6. Texas Pete
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, if he hadn't scored he would have probably missed.

  11. Fred54
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Laca's movement made that own goal... cheer up owners.

    1. Random Name
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Either way the goal was due to Lacazette's incredible piece of skill

  12. Jafooli
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Tosun essential?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Tosun to say.

      1. Texas Pete
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        You just made coffee come down my nose.

  13. Alan The Llama
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    He's one of my own,
    Bought him and captained him,
    He's one of my own.

    1. BadgersBoys
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Nice.

  14. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Aguero may get 2 bonus after all.

  15. Deulofail
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    My friend brought in Mee to play ahead of Tosun along with Lascelles, Milner (1st sub), TAA, Azpi, Pereyra, Lukaku, Walker and Siggy. And he's currently on for more points than all of them 😀 (well maybe not TAA and Azpi...?)

    1. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Apologies

  16. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    I knew I’d regret not captaining Kane.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      So why didn't you captain him if you knew?

    2. Khark
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Same I’ve gone Aguero over Kane ... fml

  17. Pratik
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Weeks of successive hits paid off: Last week: Mendy + Walcott -> Trippier + Maddison (-4)
    Salah + Firminho -> Kane + Rich (-4)

    Pretty happy with 51 now, around 60 with bonuses.

    1. Slartibartfast
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Bit early to say the second ones paid off 😉

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Time will tell 😉

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Well done. I bet the team looks better for it

      People argue against hits but taking consecutive hits is sometimes the best thing to do

      Good moves

    3. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Walcott assisted btw

      1. Pratik
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I only see the good things in life! 🙂

        I think long term they are the right moves

    4. JELLYFISH
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Well done. Very satisfying when it works out

    1. Judeksi

      1. Deulofail
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

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

        1. Deulofail
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

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

      2. Sim Simma

    1. Jekori
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Did that satisfy your needs?

  23. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months 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
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      not touching him. Gotta get Vardy first, then Arnie

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months 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
        7 years, 2 months 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
      7 years, 2 months ago

      absurd notion

    3. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

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

    4. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

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

    2. MTPockets
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Same as last week. Definite factor for mins, but feet looked ok for his goal.

      • FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        sh!tey.

      • Pep says
        • 10 Years

        IB might sort that out

      • pundit of punts
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I feel Aguero will be benched VS BUR in GW 9.

      • Zilla
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        "We spoke about him playing 55, 60 mins. That’s what happened. We were lucky he scored a goal in that moment."

        bad news

      • MattysFantasyFooty
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Might be perfect time to ship to Kane?

      • Rash
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I'm selling.

      • Greenbackbøøg…

        move to kane looking more and more likely

        1. Lemongrab
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          If you dont have any pressing issues moving to Kane Vs Cardiff at home seems a no brainer

      • XabiAlonso
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Think I might sell him to Kane this week

      • Four Hit Wonder
        • 8 Years

        Goodbye Kun, hello Sterling or Kane

    3. glufs

      • 12 Years

      Sterling and Kane. What is this, 2017?

    4. FPL Scoop

        This

      2. Pieterke30
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        +567

        I need Hazard AND Salah to get a brace

    5. Rash
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Some serious rank killing players getting points so far with Arnie Kane vardy.

      1. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Wait till Alonso and Robertson join the party .

        1. Rash
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          I own them so hoping for double digits from both!

      2. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        But isn’t that the way fpl works? Like, if you don’t own the players that score, then rank goes down? 🙂

      Not sure whether I should be hoping for a Wolves CS... lots of people with 2 defensive assets from them and some in my ML and on here even have 3 yet I only have Boly.

          A lot with none are casuals/dead teams in 1m+ rank that I don't care about. Also ML > overall for me.
