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.
