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.

    Sane > Son for free?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      just done it. Not even in rage. It's a strong move.

    2. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      The move every Sane owner that doesn't own Son will be doing. Including me.

    Has anybody else here been more lucky with (-8)s over the years than (-4)s?

    1. Richd
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I don’t have the data.

      But I do feel the more transfers you make, the more difference you can make.

      It’s why mark always said about rolling 2ft one week then doing 3 transfer the next for a mini WC

    2. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Done a -8 earlier on in the season and went from 8k to 5k

      I'm not that bothered about hits if you feel you have to do them

  6. Richd

    Who do we want to win the WBA game and why ?

    Brighton so we get more doubles ?

      Unless you have used your WC, yes.

      1. Richd
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Still in tact. So come on Brighton I guess !

  10. Champ

  11. Goat

    Was afraid to check livefpl.net until now. Shocked I only fell 10k to 27k. Lost the lead in my ML though, sad face.

  12. Clintymints
    • 14 Years

    That's not gone well

  13. Aladdin Sané

    Best £7.0 million midfielder? Narrowed down to Anderson, Maddison or Grob (who blanks in 27)...

    1. olliejames
      • 7 Years

      Gross

    I know I'm not alone but I had 4 players on Monday and 3 tonight including my captain - total points 12 (for what was effectively 8 players). Why do we play this stupid game?????

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Agreed

  17. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    So unless you own Aguero and/or Laporte it wasn't that great a DGW. Particularly given how many will have taken hits and/or transferred Hazard out.

    1. Richd
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Sterling did a decent enough job for many. Big differential too. Like 35% EO

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Wasn't worth taking Haz out though. And that is what many who got Sterling in did.

        1. Richd
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Was it ? I thought most just had him already or went for sane tbh

  18. Viper

    A. Richarlison - > Son. Save Ft

    B. Sané & Richarlison - > Son & Jota

    C. Richarlison & Aguero - > Son & Aubameyang

    2. Holteenderinthesky

    3. wolvesmad

    Sane to mane or son for -4?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Son is a better finisher.

    2. Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Mane is more selfish.

  20. Slitherene

    Fabianski
    Tomkins | TAA | Trippier
    Sane | Salah | Richarlison | Pogba
    Jimenez | Firmino | Rashford
    Button | Camarasa | Pereira | Luiz

    1 FT, 2.0 ITB

    Any suggestions for this bunch here?

  21. olliejames

    Would really appreciate your vote:

    Who to get for next 4 GW's (pick 2)

    a) Lingard
    b) B / D Silva
    c) Anderson
    d) Gross
    e) Milivojovic

    Cheers.

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      BC

    2. Holteenderinthesky
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Definitely not B or D as they don't play gw27. C and A in my opinion. But not sold on Lingard

  22. I Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Doing Ings to Auba but need a downgrade to fund it.

    A) Hazard -> Son
    B) Sane -> Anderson/Jota

    If I do B I'll do Hazard to Son in GW27. Would rather sell Sane than Haz this week but want Son tbh.

    1. olliejames
      • 7 Years

    Some absolute tossers on here who probably know sh1t all about football! When you’ve played it and coach it at the top level like some of us come & have a word!

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years

      I wish youd name names!!

      What do you want to talk about?

        • 7 Years

        Someone on here yesterday was claiming KDB was awful against Arsenal
        He must need his head looking at

      Don’t be proud of that.

      Most of you got jailed

      It's not a matter of having to know a lot about football. It's a "lot about fantasy football "that you need to know/put into practice.
      It's a different animal.

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I think that he's referring to the amount of juvenile drivel spoken during matches which often displays a complete lack of knowledge about football .

      Trollolololol

    9. Toonmad
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Oh yes because playing and coaching at a high level gives you a massive advantage when it comes to fpl.... I mean playing at the highest level where the team consists of 3 wbs 4 attacking mids or mids playing as strikers along with 3 other strikers is so realistic to how the game is actually played in reality it gives you such an advantage over anyone who hasn't played.... You total duffer!

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        See my point above.

      Wenger never player oops bad example ha

    12. Yank Revolution

      I'll say this: Fantasy EPL is a great tool for introducing people to the game. I started watching due to it and coincidentally, games became more widely available here. Now, it's my favorite thing to watch, displacing most all of our domestic sports leagues in importance and interest for me! (save baseball)

    Thoughts on Richarlison > Felipe Anderson for free?

    1. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Anything is an upgrade from Richarlison

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Richarlison is a millstone
      Not sure fanderson is a massive upgrade

    3. MTPockets
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Nice fixture in principle but 0G/1A in 6 games

    4. Richd
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I don’t get how people think seasons over. Yeah the Kun TC was great.

      However if you get a player (maybe a mid) scoring one goal in two separate games the bonus could mean he scores more than Kun , or very similar .. unless I’m missing something

      1. Richd
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        As in
        Goal + bonus
        Goal + bonus

        Instead of
        Hattrick + bonus
        Blank

      2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        19 points is massive in a DGW. It usually backfires for me (Kane last season gave me 3 x 3 points last season) so I’d take those 19 and run.

      3. KingOllie
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        What if we TCd sane? Who was was predicted to play mote minutes than Kun

    5. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Had my transfer set to Kun > Auba, but may hold off and rage tranny Sane...

      9.9 to spend on a mf. Already have Salah/Son/Pogba/Odoi... but no midfielder looks great 😐 Anyone in similar situation goin for someone in particular?

      Could maybe spend more if I drop TAA for a new def but same agian, meh options!

    6. DanLynch

      Patricio

      Rashford-Auba-jiminez

      Button-Bednerek-Bennet-kamara

      Ok! _bowing out.

      Just remember 9/11 was an inside job and we never went to the moon in the 60's and everything is Hunky Dory. I know that's most of you. 🙂

      And if we're wrong, I would suggest you watch Kennedy's brain exploding over the bonnet of his car: a piece of which Jackie still had in her hand when she presented it in the makeshift morgue of lies.l

      These are the people that rule our roost. Feck 'em!
