Aguero and Sané start for Man City as Sterling benched

Fantasy managers who put faith in Sergio Aguero (£11.4m) could be in for one of their most memorable Gameweeks.

The Manchester City forward has defied ‘Pep Roulette’ to start both matches of Double Gameweek 25, named on the team sheet to face Everton on Wednesday night.

The start comes after scoring 17 points in Sunday afternoon’s 3-1 win over Arsenal, in which Aguero scored a hat-trick.

Once again, we should expect a great divide between managers, depending which Manchester City options they backed.

Leroy Sané (£9.8m) comes back into the side after remaining an unused substitute at the weekend, but Raheem Sterling (£11.3m) travels in the opposite direction.

Kevin de Bruyne (£9.7m) is also named among the subsitutes.

Anyone invested in Aymeric Laporte (£5.9m) will be encouraged to know that he has been deployed at left-back.

However, Pep Guardiola is not the only Premier League manager wreaking havoc with Fantasy teams, as Everton have also rotated for this fixture.

The Toffees two most popular Fantasy midfielders Richarlison (£6.8m) and Gylfi Sigurdsson (£7.4m) both find themselves on the bench as Marco Silva goes for a 4-3-3 system.

Everton XI: Pickford; Digne, Zouma, Keane, Kenny; Davies, Gueye, A Gomes; Bernard, Calvert-Lewin, Walcott.

Man City XI: Ederson; Laporte, Otamendi, Stones, Walker; D Silva, Gundogan, Fernandinho; Sané, Aguero, B Silva.

    Meh.... could've kept Haz but I still think it was a rational decision to go for Sane if not sensible in hindsight. On to the next lads!!

      I went sané to Haz five weeks ago, then back again this week. Trying not to beat myself up about it.

        Right. That'll hurt. But as you said, don't beat yourself up. These things happen. Better luck in the future!

    The Sane and Richarlison dgw team has done brilliantly

    1. Calderano FC
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      The laporte, aguero captain combo has been sizeable better.

    5 years, 2 months ago

    Alisson > Etheridge or Laporte > 4.8 (benching Laporte in blank GW) in order to fund Richarlison > Son (for -4)?

    … or, just Sané > Som for free (keeping Richarlison)?

  24. Hooky

    Shame Sane didn't get booked. Triple 0 would have been great

    For the grown men I assume a fair few of you are, you can be god damn childish and petty sometimes, over the internet, about football.

    Just an observation, not all, and not all the time. But it’s there.
