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.

    This fpl season will surely go down as the year Aguero and Sane turned minileagues on thier head in one week.

  9. Brosstan

    Actually amazing. Second season in a row where my Triple Captain gets 1 point in a double gameweek. How is it even possible to be this unlucky?

    1. Celt Abroad
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      That’s really bad luck, commiserations.

      Same here bud.

      Genuinely soul destroying isn’t it 🙁

  10. SPorting
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Cheeky -4 to cheer me up?

    Rich, Sané, Kun -> Son, Mane, Laca

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      How are you upset as a Kun owner?!

      Look like solid moves though 🙂

      1. SPorting
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I’m upset I didn’t TC him and went with Sané 🙂

    2. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Bobby instead of laca

      1. SPorting
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Already have Robbo and Salah

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

      Laca over auba is the tricky one but looks solid for a good couple of weeks.I am tempted by this too for a -8

    4. Superbadhine
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      For a -4 this is lovely. Getting over the Son/Mane debate too

  11. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Sane to start at the weekend??

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years

      Who cares, he dead for me.

  12. Chucky

    tosun in for wally

  13. Alexis Nonsense
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Wonder what the average is for the Kun captainers...

  14. JackJack
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    A solid 42 point this week. Spent 24 gw's in top 100k and now at risk of falling outside top 200k. Love this game!!

    1. sminkypinky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      It is well and truly a giving game.

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

      Noob! I have 43

      1. Calderano FC
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Why not link your team?

    3. Rains of Castamere
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      It’s cruel. Similar situation for me.

    4. Rashers
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty much the same.

      99k before this week. Looking like over 200k now.

      Need a big one next week . . .

    5. Alexis Nonsense
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      It's one captain choice and you're beck in top 50k

  15. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Do I sell Sane or Silva for Son?

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Whichever you think gets least minutes against Chelsea...

    2. HTL
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Just ditched Sane for Son. I know you probably mean D Silva but B Silva has looked useful around the box, just hasn't quite dropped for him.

    3. Tcheco
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Silva

    4. Xhaka Kahn't
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Son

  16. KingOllie

    Congrats Kun captainers. You flipped a coin and called it right, all of you are lucky

    1. Superbadhine
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers 🙂

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Unlucky no points tonight

      1. Maddi Son
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Just couldn't get that rub of the green!

        Sane lucky to get 1 point, should've been carded.

        1. Superbadhine
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Was he that bad? I was purely watching BBC sport and his name was every other comment. Generally not too negative either

    3. Black Knights
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I had kun and sane and never considered captaining sane. No coin required.

    4. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Those who don't own Sane didn't need a coin.

  17. HTL
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Aguero finally taken off on 78 mins. Doesn't give us any indication for the Chelsea game but you'd have to assume he'll get a decent chunk of time. Still probably going to -4 him out to Auba.

    1. Viper
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      It's a pretty good indication he plays

      1. HTL
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Sorry I'll rephrase, indication of whether he starts or not. Assuming this ends 1-0 and they're back on top of the league you've got to assume Pep has full trust in Kun. Definitely a player for home comforts though.

      2. Superbadhine
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        So difficult to decide whether to follow the crowd and go back to Aub or hold tight

    2. YEAH PITCH!
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Same here mate. Hopefully Auba can do some damage to soften the blow of - 4.

      1. HTL
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I think over two games (taking into account Aguero's blank) it's worth it. Huddersfield look rotten.

        Although now I've said that, watch City go absolutely postal against Chelsea.

        1. YEAH PITCH!
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Haha. It's the way the cookie crumbles. Fingers crossed the - 4 works for us.

  18. moment

    75 over and out. Aguero (C) but still lost rank.

    1. sminkypinky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Must be way high your OR.

    2. Superbadhine
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Unlucky mate, with such a high OR though it's the TC's that will be taking you down slightly

  19. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Loads of DGW options and really only two paid off (Aguero and Laporte).

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I’d happily have Sterling at the point...

  20. Lucackadoodledoo
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone else purchase a one way ticket out of the top 10k this GW?

    1. KingOllie
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Fallen from 2k to 12k. Wont even be able to make it back up as everyone has the same teams.

      Remove the god damn Triple Captain chip

    2. Ragabolly
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I certainly did!

    3. Tev
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, paid extra to get out the top 20k too. Just found it a bit claustrophobic.

    4. grumpyman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      11k to 20k. Was 5k 3 GWs ago. Season in freefall.

    5. Sterling Malory
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Me! Fail Hit and Sane(C)

  21. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Kun off

    Plays vs Chelsea?

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Of course

  22. el polako
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Well atleast my TC is out way and I can focus on other things.

  23. Chucky
    • 10 Years

    1. sminkypinky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      1. Chucky
        • 10 Years

  24. Shultan
    • 7 Years

    Last season TC sterling in DGW

  25. Up the tics
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Priority?

    Sane >> son
    Kun >> auba

    1. Shultan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Im doing both for a hit!

    2. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      both

  26. OldBenKenobi
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Double game weeks just arent what they used to be especially with all the roatation in the modern game. Overrated!

  27. andrewe63
    • 12 Years

    Sane >> Son >> Bench on saturday -- incoming.

    heard it here first.

    1. YEAH PITCH!
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Son benched? You're having a laugh.

  28. Ohh1454

    Thoughts on sane and richalarison > Salah and JWP

  29. diesel001

    Wouldn't mind if Danilo came on tbh.

  30. Distinctly Average
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    Worst game week I’ve ever had.

    51 points all out, sane (TC).

    1. Samwise
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      good pick! let me know who you pick next week!

    2. Fitzy.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      You've never got less than 51 points before?

      1. Distinctly Average
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Absolute points week on week are not comparable. It’s relative to the gameweek average

    3. sminkypinky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      TC stings but in all honesty I've had lower scores on dgws and after wc'ing. On to the next mate!

      1. Distinctly Average
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Very true. I’ll dust myself off before the weekend haha
