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.

    Well getting richy instead of maddison was a mistake but happy I went Mendy to Doherty over Trippier save that quiche

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Maybe this week but don't think it'll be a mistake after the next 3 weeks.

    2. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years

      Richarlison will reward you next week

  5. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    So glad that the likes of Ings and Mitro blanked.

    For once no casual points. 😀

    Maddison though.... 😡

    1. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Mitro vs everton a casual pick?

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

      So everyone who has Mitro and Ings is a casual by this logic.

    3. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Mitro's good but his teammates are kak...

    4. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Maddison is not for the casuals . 😀

    5. Goat
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Casual picks = Kanté and Neves. Not the ones you names

  6. Judeksi
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    58 before BPS, Hazard, Fraser and Alonso left to play. Wildcard well played 🙂

  7. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    Deulofail... are the rumours true? 😮

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

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

        Liverpool.

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

          Ok. That is slightly less bad I guess.

  8. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    35 before baps with 6 to play :). Not too bad i guess

    1. diesel001

  9. Champ
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  13. johnthepg
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Maddison or Vardy?

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Why not both?

      1. johnthepg
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Cant afford both.

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years

  15. Del FPL-iero
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Holebas was mentioned every few seconds for sending in "great crosses2. Hold.
      Pereyra went close in the second half.

      1. Del FPL-iero
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks!

  16. Azathoth
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    There was a lad here,who said that he's gonna cpt Trips.If you did it,kudos mate!!!!!

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      He got the same points as Aguero so hardly something to celebrate

      1. GOTHAM City F.C.
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Atleast one point more

      2. Point-one short
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Trippier on for 11 points vs probably 7 for kun

    2. Krafty Werks
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I was close but couldn't bring myself to do it in the end over Kun and made him VC.

  17. Dele
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    47pts

    Patricio, Doherty, Maddy, Aguero, Trippier on for bonus.

    Robbo, Alonso, Salah, Hazard and Zaha to go.

    Happy with that.

  18. J T
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Mendy > Trippier went well then.
    Also played Bennet over Robbo.. party because I’m a Chelsea fan

    1. Azathoth
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Mendy > Doherty went well too.

  19. L'Aeroplanino
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    didnt went for kane but guess doherty matched him, legend.

    Now if only Mo can nick a goal...

  20. semiconductor
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Best mid (Pedro replacement) 6.6m or under?

  21. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone doing Ederson to Patricio? Ederson will probably be the top scoring keeper but Patricio could be this year's Pope/Heaton.

    1. GianniBanani
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I was all geting rid of Ederson after and then he started to deliver. With Mendy out I'm glad he is in my team at this moment

  22. DR0GBA
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    In the top 5.7k with a score of 47(-4) with 6 players left to play

    1. JELLYFISH

  26. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Why do people even bother saying their score without baps

    1. J T
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Because they don’t have many

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