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

    Got Yedlin on my WC and then played him ahead of Bennett.. Spewing...

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      Jafooli influenced you no doubt

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

        😀 Salah and Mane to save his GW....

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

      Why get Newcastle defenders? They are atrocious

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

        yes they are... but have decent fixtures coming up... didn't want to double up on wolves def so played Yedlin...

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

          I mean it makes sense why you’d do that. Nothing to regret if you made logical decisions

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

    So TAA, Alonso, Salah and Haz up next hahaha. Brace from each?

  4. Alexis Nonsense
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    I though Keita would be a better man in midfield against that Chelsea team than Henderson...?

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

      Jay spearing would be better than Henderson

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

    Looks like 66 points post BAPS with Alonso,Fraser and Ward to go.

    Pretty chuffed. WC a couple of GWs has been gold. 😀

    1. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Nice one that's a beast of a score

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years

        Cheers!

    Auba>Laca?

  7. Essan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Think Doherty for Peltier has been my best transfer so far!

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

      Nothing bad about that move.

    2. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Same! 24 points in the 2 weeks I played him

    3. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Mine too! Great call, mate

  8. BenDavies
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Ideal situation: Mane, Alexander-Arnold, Hazard, Alonso all get goals. 2-2. PLEASE.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Could happen. Will be an interesting game for sure

    2. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Alonso 1 goal 1 assist. Salah 3 goals. Hazard 1pt

    3. Four Hit Wonder
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Yes. And mutual assists and max baps.

    4. Sid1891
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Funny that
      Need the same !

  9. rdpx
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    I've allowed Daniels to drop to 4.3m whilst taking a few hits to sort other players.

    Just noticed Zabaleta looks like a huge bargain at the same price... Any reason not to swap them that I'm missing?

    Also thinking of shipping Pedro out for Hjojlbjerg, -4 but would give me some nice cash...

    1. BoleynWin
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Fredricks is the better RB in my opinion but Zaba seems to be ahead of him in Pellegrini’s books (Old Man City click I’m guessing). So a good pick all in all FPL wise, gets forward quite a bit

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

    4 players in the next game with defenders from both teams.

    1-1 with no relevant goals scorers?

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

      Surely you'd want a 0-0 no?

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

        My comment was sarcastic 😉

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

      Make sure you post it on the next page as well.

    Have the money to do Lukaku > Kane for free. Didn't see any of the games but I assume that's a no brainer?

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years

      yes

    2. Four Hit Wonder

    I have a conundrum what to do with neves. Do I just keep him since he plays and is on indirect free kicks?

    This is your time

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

      Please stay quiet Haz. Hoping for a Pool masterclass personally.

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

      You spelt Salah wrong

  14. Vamos Los Celeste
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    I need a GK , suggestions ?

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

      Pat/Henn/Hart/Fab we're blessed with 4.5m GKs this season, take your pick.

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Pat

    3. Lord.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Patricio is gold-plated.

  15. EMERGING STAR
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    What a disastrous start. 23 points.
    Only King can save me this week

    1. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      24 from 6 here... absolutely no luck with picks this week.

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

    Everyone around me in my mini leagues appear to have similar points to me.

    Everyone on here appears to have a lot more points than me. Glad you're not all in my mini leagues

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

      Haha, as am I. However people tend to get more vocal on here the better they do in any given week. Checking poster's overall rank or past season's histories tens to put things into perspective.

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

      You only ever hear from people with good scores usually

  17. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Damn it, needed Maddison to stay quiet and avoid a price rise until the Champs League games. May get tricky now.

  18. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Kun+Mane+Mendy >> Kane+Alli+Trippier (-4)? Then WC.

    Patricio
    Alonso • Robertson • Mendy*
    Salah • Richarlison • Mané • Kenedy
    Kun • Zaha • Arnautovic
    (Hamer • AWB • Cairney • Tomkins)

    1. CRO KLOPP
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Ali is injured

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah, any other 9 suggestions? Otherwise it’s Kane, Hazard and Bennett

        1. CRO KLOPP
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Kane haz benet good moves

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

      Too much trust in spurs

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Kane Haz Bennett??

  19. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    FPL is all about timing. Top players this season got in Hazard for his haul and then Kane today for his haul.

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I wanted Kane this week just wasn’t possible with problems! Will jump on him now

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Same - well after Euro games

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      😎

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

      You got to be ahead of the curve in this game. With kane and hazard there was no better time with the fixtures turns

    4. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      But aren't you the one who said Kane wouldn't score with Moura on the field?

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

      I don't consider myself a top player but I got them for their hauls.. 😀

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

      Yeah but it's about what else you sacrifice to get them in too

    7. Vobinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      For once, I'm getting the captains right. Got Kun,Hazard and Kane for their hauls and chose Salah for solid weeks for the others.

      Agreed though, the good ranks always get on hauls before they appear, not after.

    8. Lord.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Kind of you to say so

  20. Champ
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Happy enough with Agueros points today.

    Will have to have a good think about him though.

    I think sterling could deliver more points over the season....

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      He does need to start hauling to justify the outlay.

  21. Viper
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    I know it's early etc. etc. but for the fun of it, which is the better use of 2Fts

    A. Salah & Zaha - > Maddison & Kane

    B. Zaha & Aguero - > Ings & Kane

    1. Messiah Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      A

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

      You didn't get kane?

      Thought you were going to do it

      1. Viper
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Nope. Getting all the big calls wrong this season

  22. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Southampton have had more shots inside the box than Arsenal

    1. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      But we are so **** so it doesn't matter

    2. Viper
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Arsenal have 10 more points 😉

  23. FPL Touches
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Massive Salah and Hazard hauls would be acceptable

    1. Jules Rimet
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      mané 😛

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Un

  24. Jonny Sutt
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Arnie or Mitro?

    1. Garth Marenghi
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Both

  25. balint84
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    When will be the first price dropping&rise? Kane price rise expected when? Which day?

  26. Messiah Hazard
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Jorginho to Maddison
    Mendy to Trippier
    Or both for -4

  27. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Aguero any BAPS?

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

      Should get 2.

    2. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      2

  28. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Mane and Alonso goals. Early substitutions for Salah and Hazard. Whose with me?

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

      After Salah's hattrick and Haz's 3rd desperate foul when he's already on a yellow. Yes.

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

      Me, as long as there is a Chelsea pen in there

  29. Garth Marenghi
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Mitro or Vardy?

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

      Vardy in form

      1. Garth Marenghi
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah. I’m thinking -4 for Arnie and Vardy
