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.

  7. jia you
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Think I might avoid Arsenal, wont be popular on here but they feel like a trap.

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Great fixtures and no blanks

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        there is that but its Arsenal, the only way I will have one is if I sell Rashford in 27 which Im reluctant to do atm

    2. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I'm worried about Kolasinac personally, I feel like he's about to lose his place.

      Will definitely be getting a forward though, the question is which one and whether to do it for a hit now or for free next week.

    3. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I’m thinking of buying Rondón instead of getting Auba in

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Have him the past three weeks, might even.captain him in 27 😉

    4. Duffy Dunk
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I won't avoid Auba.

  9. DandyDon

    Start Sane or Digne this gameweek? Don’t want to take another hit.

    1. lugs
      • 6 Years

    Guaita
    Robbo Doherty Digne
    Salah Sane Richarlison Pogba
    Auba Jimenez Rashford
    Bench: Button - TAA - AWB - Camarasa

    Best move this week...
    A. Sane to Son
    B. Digne and Richarlison to Son and 4.4 def (will pick one playing blanks like BOU/NEW defender).
    C. Sane and Richarlison to Son and Anderson

    1. Kuzser
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Like C, but A is enough for this gw

  11. geoffrolph
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Already used my ft to do Sane to Son but what to do with Augero, Richalson, Keane... And whats a priority.

    1) save transfer and wait
    2) -4 point hit
    3) -8 point hit

    2. BoleynWin
      • 6 Years

      Are you avoiding City players on purpose due to your allegiance?

  13. Gentle_Turks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    A) Sane + Aguero to Son + Aubamyang for -4
    B) Just Sane to Son and hold Aguero one more week

    Thanks.

      A easily

      1. CliveTilds

        i can only pick one

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

          It depends on future plans and current team

      In a similar situation...what about b and c for -4?

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

        I could do that....

        Have been planning C all week - but doing the whole thing for - 4 has crossed my mind....

        Thanks

  17. Football Heaven
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Start:
    A. Guaita
    B. Fab

    1.
    A. AWB
    B. Jonny
    C. Doherty

    Just not sure on double ups but it would man wishing a team to get a cs but not at the same time if one on bench

    1. Football Heaven
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      1 of

  18. CrouchDown
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Sane + Kun > Son + Auba (-4) ? Also own Richarlison (unfortunately)

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

      I'm also considering this. What do people think? Worth a hit?

      I might just do Sane to Son and hold Aguero one more week.

      1. CrouchDown
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah I was considering this as Aguero could do well against Chelsea. But Arsenal are playing the bottom club and there's always the risk of Jesus playing.

        I think the fact that I'm going to make the transfer anyway might swing me towards doing it this week.

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

          Out of Sane and Aguero I think there is more chance of Sane not starting, so the Sane to Son transfer is the more urgent one.

          But also having Auba against Huddersfield could be worth the hit.

  19. Maddi Son
    • 6 Years

    Usually drink, usually dance

    1. Bees4Lyf
      • 7 Years

      Usually bubble!!!

  20. Demel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Aguero/Hazard > Auba/Son (2FT)

    Anything worth a hit? 2.2m bank

    Fabianski
    Digne - Robertson- Doherty
    Son - Sane - Salah - Pogba
    Rashford - Jimenez - Auba

    Button - AWB - Camarasa - Bednarek

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

      Tempted to play AWB over Digne at all?

    2. Kuzser
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Do it

    3. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Bah...we have virtually the same team once I complete my transfers...except you have Robbo over Lovren, couple of millions to spare and double my pts this wk. looking forward to the end of this season

  21. FPL Maldini

    Isn’t Brighton winning tonight good for the DGWs?

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

  22. i am jose mourinho
    • 5 Years

    Best ederson replacement. (Just a strategy to avoid manc blank gw because my other gk is speroni )

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

      Alisson

  23. Come on you Kante
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Richarlson to ?
    A) Pogba
    B) Mane

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      A by far

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      A

  24. fedolefan
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Arsenal's fixtures through the end of the season are fairly good. If they end up with a DGW, TC Aub is straightforward.

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Tc anyone is not straight forward lol

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

        Let's not get carried away now.

    2. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Never trust Arsenal

  25. #FPLBhuna

    5 years, 2 months ago

    What to do with siggy?

    0 ft

    Team below - just play him? Don’t think ings will play this weekend

    ederson
    robbo - doherty - pva
    salah - mane - sterling - pogba - siggy
    rashford - jiminez

    fab - ings - awb - bednarek

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

      Of course just play him.

    2. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I’d maybe give Siggy this GW, that’s what I’m doing with Richarlison at least

    3. Kuzser
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Keep and then get Anderson

  26. Danno - Emre Canada
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    So thankfully that stressful DGW is over but I’m even more confused by going forward as I need to make some moves. I never usually ask for a RMT but I need help and suggestions.

    Ederson - Guaita

    TAA - Doherty - Laporte - AWB - Pereira

    Salah - Richarlison - Sané - Hazard - Pogba

    Jiménez - Rashford - Kamara

    Players I’m looking to off-load, Sané, Hazard, Laporte, Kamara. Looking to get in, Son, Aubameyang, Mane, Kolasinac.
    Zero ITB and 1ft, so don’t mind taking a couple of hits to maybe get ahead of the crowd and the looming blanks. What do we think good people, soon my ML rivals will be out of sight. Helppppppp

    1. Podge
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Haz sane to mane son this week I reckon

  27. wulfrunian
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Aguero owners what's your plan?

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

      Hopefully he goes up in price and then can sell for Auba...

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

        So would I, but he didn't score vs Everton, so I doubt it.

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Auba vs Hud is tempting, but he'll probably score vs Chelsea

    3. geoffrolph
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Sell

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

        Keeping one more week then to Auba

    4. wulfrunian

  29. Krafty Werks
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Which trio do you prefer? Thanks.

    A - Lacazette, Pogba, Chilwell.
    or
    B - Aubameyang, Denis Suarez(punt if no joy then Jota/Gross), Pereira/TAA.
