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.

    Fernandinho should have about 4 yellow cards at this stage, he's always getting away with it.

    1. MGD
      • 7 Years

      True

    How is this for my WC? Any advice/changes you would make personally:

    Alisson,
    VVD, Lindeloff, Laporte
    Mane, D.Silva, Son, Pogba, Townsend
    Rashford, Auba

    Boruc, Wan-bissa, Doherty, Crouch

    1. sminkypinky

    3. Osman

      Townsend, Silva, Laporte out. Don’t need double Liv defense. Need Salah. Crouch big no go

          Why the lol at Townsend who has more points that double the price Sane the last 3 gameweeks? 😀

    Happy when this game finishes, The Sane v Sterling rivalry on here has been toxic.

  15. Werkself
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    That feeling in the pit of your stomach when you've suffered terrible luck and there's still 20 minutes left in the game for things to get much much worse.

    I'm on Sane (c) and I have to admit this is genuinely hilarious! I'm not even slightly annoyed

    1. Tev
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I’m in between. This is a genuinely good FPL story, but also f*ckung gutting.
      I’ve spent 3 weeks climbing about 500 places, and I drop 16k in a week

    2. TRIPOS TOPPER

      Sane owner, not C

      blank is one thing but one 0 mins and 58 mins is a kick in the teeth

  22. Don Kloppeone

    Sané to Son or Mané is now the question...

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Has to be son.Surely can't bet against him now especially for someone unreliable as mane

    2. YEAH PITCH!
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      What I'm thinking too. You swaying to one more than the other?

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Pretty sure it’s gonna be Son but I’m just testing the waters

  23. Dacra

    Hazard to Sane worked well.. Glad I changed captain to Sterling last minute..

  26. Benditlike

    Was about 100 points clear of second place in my ml. He has Aguero (c) and Laporte, i have Sane (c).. i have 40
    Points, he has 102... Worst GW ever

    1. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Same here. This Sane vs Aguero (and Sane C instead of Haz C) stuff seems just unfair.

      1. Benditlike
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Unfair and unlucky

  27. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Without this dgw I would be probably approx 4k because of Haz C and less players would have had Aguero in their teams. Now 11k, needless to say Sane (C). Damn already during autumn promised myself never to captain City players. Cannot believe how far I got from the 100% frustration of Son's jammy goal on weekend which really did not matter at all in the end with this City stuff.

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years

      So annoying this she.Would have never got sane and capped haz
