As Fantasy Premier League managers consider breaking up the template of premium options ahead of upcoming fixture swings, we continue our latest series.

We are comparing some of the more expensive options on offer against their best-ever FPL scores to see whether they are justifying their price.

After studying Harry Kane (£12.4m) and Raheem Sterling (£11.2m) earlier this week, we now move on to Manchester City’s talismanic striker Sergio Aguero (£11.4m).

Aguero’s best-ever FPL score came in the 2014/15 season when he scored 26 goals and assisted a further 10. His exploits in front of goal earned him the Premier League Golden Boot award.

Those figures combined for a total score of 216 points, with 27 of them coming through the bonus points system.

Having scored eight times in the first 12 Gameweeks of 2018/19, a continuation of his current strike rate, 0.67 goals per game, would see him reach 25 goals for the campaign.

That would be one short of his best-ever Premier League goal tally, but he could easily beat his personal best for assists if he keeps up his form.

Registering six in the first 12 Gameweeks of 2018/19 means Aguero is averaging 0.5 per game, setting the potential for recording 19 by next May.

Crucially, the Manchester City striker is currently recording 6.67 points per game, this season. If he continues at that rate and avoids any injuries or rotation then he could record a total score of 253 points.

That would set a new career-high FPL season tally for Aguero, a truly incredible possibility considering his rich pedigree in the game.

    FFS could do with a "terminology" section IMO, just so everyone is clear on what words like template etc actually mean 😀

      they do, just that they never update it

      Eye test, OOP, maverick, nailed, enabler, premium, DGW, BGW, TC, TV ...

        Are we still talking about FPL or something more exotic?

      1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

        Haha thanks

  2. FCSB

    Patricio
    Robertson Luiz Mendy
    Hazard Salah Fraser Richarlison
    Aguero Arnie Wilson

    Hamer Obiang AWB Tomkins

    2 FT, 0.8 ITB

    What to do here please??

    Wildcard??

    Thanks

    1. Riders of Yohan
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Definitely not WC.

      Mendy + Richarlison -> Digne + Sane/Dilva?

    2. NOMONEY
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      mendy out for sure

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

      Since you have Wilson, you could do ;

      Mendy + Fraser - > Digne/Doherty + Martial/Pogba

    4. Roy Rovers
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Mendy and Luiz to Laporte and Doherty.

  3. Riders of Yohan
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Best Mendy replacement?

    A)Digne
    B)Laporte
    C)pereira
    D) Bellerin
    E)Holebas

    Currently have Robbo, Alonso, AWB and Bennet.

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Doherty ?

      1. french holiday
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Flagged

      2. Riders of Yohan
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Already have 3 Wolves

    2. french holiday
      • 8 Years

      C

    3. NOMONEY
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      B or A

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I have brought in B

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

      B

    6. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      The best is B, but A might help if you need funds elsewhere

    7. Roy Rovers
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      B

    8. Haugli
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Depends on how you spend the money elsewhere to be honest. Personally i went with Dunk as this gives me the possibility to get Sterling next gw.

  4. Mackans
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Mendy, Salah & Deulofeu -> AWB, Sterling & Martial (-4) ??

    1. tibollom
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      depends on the rest of your team

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Nah, just swap Mendy out

    3. Kabayan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Maybe just Mendy + Deu -> AWB + Martial for free

  5. Ambrosiana Inter
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Ahhhhh had I knew Valencia was back I d have put him in instead of Robertson as differential

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      How much? I should imagine he isn't good value

      1. Ambrosiana Inter
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        6.4

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

      he has been back since few weeks

      1. Ambrosiana Inter
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Still redflagged unknown date on fpl

    3. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Yes he'll differentiate your team by getting you lesser points

      1. Ambrosiana Inter
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Lol

  6. HD7
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    GW:13 Right order of starters and bench?
    Not sure between Duffy Kenedy and Fanderson who to start?
    Have (Fab Kun and Arnie starting in one match so far)

    Fab
    Digne Robbo Alonso Duffy
    Salah Richa Kenedy Hazard
    Aguero Arnie

    Subs: Button, Fanderson, Success, WanB

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      You are probably right. Anderson is very unpredictable sadly!

  7. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Fabs
    Mendy Robbo Alonso Doherty
    Salah Hazard Maddison
    Kun Arnie Jimenez

    Button - Duffy - Kenedy - Obiang

    Looking for replacements for Mendy and Maddison up to 13.4m...
    A. Laporte and Richarlison
    B. Digne/Keane and Martial
    C. Digne/Keane and Dilva
    D. AWB and Sane

    Will consider Siggy but injury sounds a bit worse than others.

    1. Demel
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I would go very cheap with Mendy and get a premium midfielder.

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks - as you can see the defence is well funded. I could obviously replace one of the cheaper mids. Which premium mid do you prefer?

    2. Old Gregg
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I'm looking to get rid of the same 2 players. However, I already have Richa and can't afford Dilva. My decision is a little easier.

      I'm looking at B. However, A,B,C are all decent options.

      I think Sane is behind Mahrez and Sterling at the moment.

    3. Ynwalfc
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Easily A

  8. Lionel Ronaldo
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Which of these?

    (A) Yedlin -> Stones [no other City defender, no funds for Walker/Laporte]
    (B) Fabianski -> Ederson

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      none? B if any

  9. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    How much of a better option is Alonso than laporte?

    I always seem to catch Chelsea players at the wrong time - bought hazard 3 or 4 weeks ago for instance.

    Does the attacking threat outweigh the extra cash and ft I'd need to use to get him (Wilson to jiminez)?

    1. Emery thing I do
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Both nailed but alonso comes with decent attacking returns. Worth the additional IMO

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers

    2. drughi
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Alonso is a set and forget player, I've never had the patience with him. Always done me wrong Alonso, get him in for a few weeks and he blanks then I get rid and he starts his hauls. I hate him but will likely try to get him after Tottenham game

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Know the feeling. As a spurs fan might get him this week to jinx him.

    3. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah worth it imo. Almost scored last game. A bit annoying for you that he's 7.1 now because you'll kind of expect an attacking return from him almost every week and he won't get that. But Chelsea are keeping clean sheets fairly often, so can't complain. Wilson to Jimenez looks good for now too.

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Isn’t Alonso the highest points scorer in the game at the moment ? More than Hazard, Salah, Kun & Sterling ? On that basis seems a better option than anyone ?

      1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        He is, the problem is he isn't always easy to get in (e.g see the OP,) and people are reluctant to do this sort of restructuring for a player they are never going to captain. This is why many WCed early to get RAM in.

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Fair point, but it seems crazy not to try herd to get someone in your team for 7 mill that is outscoring players that cost 10 mill +

          1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 8 months ago

            Agree 🙂

      2. DeathoftheParty
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Hahaha this

  10. Emery thing I do
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Patrício,
    Alonso, Doherty, Laporte, Robbo
    Salah, Dilva, Hazard
    Jiménez, Aguero, Arnie

    Hamer, AWB, Billing, Kayal

    Thoughts please? G2G?

    Would be worried about three wolves players but have good fixtures for the next 4/5 games!?!?

    1. DeathoftheParty
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah.

  11. timPgoodwin
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    2FT's and no clue what to do, HELP! Would even take a hit for the right moves. O.1m ITB.

    Patricio - Hamer
    Alonso - Mendy - Kiko - WanB - Bennett
    Fraser - Hazard - Salah - Maddison - Pereyra
    Aguero - Arnie - Wilson ...

    1. Kabayan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Replace Mendy (maybe for Liverpool Def)
      And Maddison

      1. DeathoftheParty
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        All this

  12. Jules Rimet
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Captain GW13?

    1. drughi
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Salah most likely

    2. Kabayan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Salah or Kun

    3. gergin
      • 10 Years

      I am with Rich.

      1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        And who is he captaining?

    4. Konstaapeli
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Kun

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

      kun atm

    6. Flaming Flamingo
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Aguero most likely.

    7. Ynwalfc
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Kun

  13. Simmoo
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    a) Van Dijk & Barkley
    b) Doherty & Richarlison (-4)

  14. Mackans
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Mendy, Salah & Deulofeu -> AWB, Sterling & Martial (-4) ?

  15. Earn your Spurs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Late night thinking yielded
    Mendy/ Mane/ Kenedy/ Vardy -> Stones/ Sterling/ Martial/ Jiminez for -8
    but no buttons pressed!

    a> Yay
    b> Nay

    Full squad is
    Patricio, Fabianski
    Alonso, Trippier, Robertson, Mendy, Doherty
    Hazard, Mane, Fraser, Kenedy, Billing
    Aguero, Vardy, Arnie

    thanks 🙂

    1. Kabayan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Just do Mendy + Kenedy to Someone + Richarlison?

    2. Ynwalfc
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Keep Mane but do the rest for -4 and get Laporte instead of Stones

  16. Scotty B
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    How long is Maddison out for?

    1. Prison Mike
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Should be fit for next GW

  17. Prison Mike
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Best move(s)?

    A) Mendy -> Laporte

    B) Mendy -> Doherty (Have Bennett)

    C) Mendy -> Digne

    D) Mendy & Fraser -> Digne & Martial (-4)

    1. Konstaapeli
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Think I'm doing B

    2. Mo Mané No Problems
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      B

  18. Rhodes your boat
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Thoughts on

    Mendy and maddison to hazard and awb for -4?

    1. Konstaapeli
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Could work. How does the rest of def look?

    2. Kabayan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Downgrade Mendy this week, get Hazard next week for free

  19. Miguel Sanchez
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Think i might be able to ride out the Mendy injury for a week or two. Worth holding on and then bringing in Trippier in GW15?

    1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I am doing the same, starting one of the two in the post below you.

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Wanted Trippier anyways so don't see any point in going for Digne or Laporte if I can play AWB and Doherty for a couple of weeks instead. Expect Trippier to miss a game or two over the pile up but those fixtures are too good to pass up for Spurs.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Depends if you are happy taking a price drop ?

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Bought at 6.0 so don't mind a couple of drops to only lose 0.1 in SV - points over £ at this stage

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          I sold Mendy for Laporte - will be a .2 swing tomorrow and I have a good defender to play (rather than AWB or Balbuena) ... so points to be gained ‘and’ TV being protected

          1. Miguel Sanchez
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 8 months ago

            Was that for free? I pissed away my FT early to get Sterling in for Mané

            1. Hotdogs for Tea
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 8 months ago

              I don’t want to play AWB or Balbuena if I can help it so I have to take out McDonald too, so a planned -4 to get 2 nailed players in my squad

              First hit of the season 🙁

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I've convinced myself that Doherty & Digne are the perfect combination of fixtures and price tags to do Mendy & AWB > them for 2 FT's this week.

      Need to figure out the push to Trippier then for GW15/16

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Robertson (assuming you have) to Trippier a consideration around GW15?

      2. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Every time I have done such a move my bench player gets a clean sheet against Liverpool whilst my starter comes unstuck against the likes of Huddersfield 🙂

  20. Murder On Zidanesfloor
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Start Kiko (LIV) or Awb (mun)

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Kiko

  21. ajones1608
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Best 4.8m or less defender?

    Best 5.4m or less midfielder?

    Like the options of Boly, Digne & Kenedy but not convinced by any..

    1. Jafalad
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      AWB or a Wolves defender.

      Kennedy.

    2. KGFC
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Def - Balbuena
      Mid - Brooks

  22. jdogg
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Wc team

    4.6 hamer
    Laporte alonso robbo awb bennet
    Haz sterling martial rich camarasa
    Aguero arnie jiminez

    0.0 in bank

    Seem ok

    1. KGFC
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I would downgrade one of Aguero or Sterling and use the cash to upgrade the bench players with the upcoming fixture rush

      1. jdogg
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers.x

  23. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Conclusion/TLDR : Sergio Aguero is good in FPL

  24. Christina.
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    What's the point of these articles? Are the FPL scoring even the same still as 4 yrs ago? I doubt it.

    1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Would be interesting to hear David defend himself to posts like this, but talking to us mere mortals seems to be beneath him.

      1. Christina.
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Feels like these articles are here to just fill up space during the IB. I doubt anyone will make decisions based on these numbers/stats. In 4 yrs managers change, tactics change, opponents change and the way FPL(Opta) awards points are different.

        Only worse thing to reading this is to actually write this.

        ZZZZzzzz...

    2. Jafalad
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      We need to know if it worth having Salah and Kun and going without Sterling. Acc to these articles we need all three of the blighters.

      1. Miguel Sanchez

        What about Hazard too?

          Don't complicate matters. It's bad enough trying to work out Salah v Sterling v Kun.

      It’s just a nice bit of general background editorial during a quiet time 🙂

        Not everything is always going to be profound, some things are more for general interest. Fair enough if some aren't interested or don't care but some are.

    Aguero Arnie Jiminez

    Fab Trippier Deulofeu AWB

    Thinking Trippier to TAA and benching Arnie or Fraser?

      Trippier to TAA and bench Chillwell

    A little off topic but is there a way to track the ownership of players in the 10K teams?

      fpl discovery?

  27. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON

    Which one:

    1) Vardy + Kanedy to Arnie + Richarlison
    2) Vardy + Mane to Arnie + Sterling

    Thanks a lot!

      Trippier if you can hold out a week or two

      Laporte or a double up with TAA

    Dilemma on keeping Salah or not...

    Allison
    Laporte Robertson Alonso Bennett AWB
    Salah Hazard Sterling

    OR

    Allison
    Laporte Robertson Alonso
    Martial Hazard Sterling Richarlison
    Aguero Wilson Arnautovic
    Hamer Elneny Bennett AWB

    Thoughts?

      The obsession with Elneny is rather heterodox.

      1. Bayer Neverlosin

        He’s purely in there to save some cash the same way that Hamer is
