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.

    Sterling benched.....

      This was the best news of the day for my rank

        Yeah, your gaining at least one place, but I will be back!

    You dont rest an Aguero in this kind of form when you can take the lead in the title race. #hindsightanalysis

  6. Tcheco
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Siggy 🙁

  7. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Kun was a great TC option in hindsight. I think will leave that chip for GW 38. Always many goals in that gw... What is other TC planned strategy?

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Lol

    2. Bagheri Arce
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah hindsight is great.

      If Aguero blanked (or maybe even just 1 goal) against Arsenal I'm sure Jesus would have been given a run out. Hard to bench a guy off the back of a hattie.

      TC could have so easily backfired

        1. Bagheri Arce
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Haha, touché!

          Yeah fair point. Hold my hands up with that call. Tbf I stand by the fact that it is still a deferred -4 but clearly well worth it.

          My point above is more about the fact that you are doubling down on Aguero as opposed to Kane - who if had a bad first game would still be afforded the second game, which I don't think was the case here. But we'll never know, maybe I'm talking out my backside...again 😉

    Messi (TC) backfires.

  9. Syd.

    Richarlison (TC) 😥 😥

    Thanks to everyone who told me not to do Alonso > Laporte. Sick of the poor advice given on FFS.

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years

        And be all living down a coal mine. Without FPL. What we missed.

        1. Business Cat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years

          At least there'd be no brexit

          You're not seeing the big picture.

      🙂

  12. diesel001

    This needs a Sergio Aguero vs Chelsea moment where an Everton player gets Aguero sent off.

    1. Surfeit of Lampteys
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      No it doesn't.

  13. Brosstan
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Sane better get a goal at least...

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      For Everton!

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      City are going to batter them.

      6:0 drubbing incoming.

  14. Thick Of It
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    125pts and counting, come on Kun (TC) and Laporte.

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      11 points behind you for the week, will take a cleanie and a Kun assist.

      1. Thick Of It
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Redmond the difference? A 15 pointer from Aguero (after tripling) would be grand.

  15. fr3d
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Do we think this guy is watching the game?

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      It's not like he has much to lose, given his VC only got 2 points.

    2. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I will be, yes.

      Knew no Siggy for the set pieces 🙂

  16. #FPLBhuna

    Ouch.
    Onto gw26 then..

    Lol

  17. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Any chance that Sane gets injured during buildup??

    Kun VCer

    1. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Any rumors of a twisted ankle?

    2. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Or Sane smashes a couple of goals himself and gets max BAPS?

      1. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I'll take this.... but I don't see it happening lol... In fact I'm surprised he starts. was expecting pep to bring him on in the 87th minute for a sweet 1 pointer

        1. My Name Is Pepu
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          It's Jonjo Kenny vs Sane?

          1. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Lol I was wondering who that was when I saw the line up... A brace, an assist and max baps it is then

    3. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Still time.

  18. My Name Is Pepu
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    It's like Marco Silva asking Pep to do him a big one in the a**, that Everton line-up.

  19. Je suis le chat
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Man City's subs and a few others would beat the Liv team of Monday night. Time for Pep to assert his teams superiority.

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      That bench is certainly one of the perks of being run by a country.

      1. Surfeit of Lampteys
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        And yet they're still more likeable than Liverpool.

        1. Brosstan
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Only true because of Salah's diving.

        2. Rainer
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Taking you haven't look into the countries regime? Thats a completely different issue though.

          You keep them blinders up and hope Spurs keep the pressure on 😉

        3. Tcheco
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Not more likable. Less hatable.

          1. Surfeit of Lampteys
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Great shout tbf

    2. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Mangala getting a recall to play as the false centre back. 😎

  20. DannyMacdonald
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    I have sane, sterling, siggy and richarlison.... Great team selection

  21. Rash
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Come on Leroy need at least 15 points to match Eden.

  22. BOATIES FC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Keep sane or Sterling?

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Only got Sterling in for DGW. Really not worth the money

  23. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Are there people who did Hazard to City mid before Huddersfield but will keep Rich for Watford because "nice fixture"?

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I kept Hazard but might keep Richarlison for Watford, unless I decide there's a very good chance that Felipe Anderson outscores him by 5 or more.

    2. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Rich is due... a SOT 😉

    3. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yep,'but I'm only keeping Rich cos I've used my FT elsewhere

    4. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 9 Years

      Might have to keep that Muppet one more gw fwiw aargh

    5. tucaoneo
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Took him out and get Son (-4). Enough is enough.

  24. olly:)
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Richarlison and Sigurdsson were in need of a rest and Saturday is much more important for Everton than tonight anyways.

    1. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      This statement has been easier to formulate with the benefit of hindsight 😉

  25. One More Hit
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    B Silva, Aguero and Sane for my city picks. Left Digne as third sub. Fairly happy with how that’s panned out but real fine margins

  26. BIind Moth
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    The massacre Kuntinues.

    1. _Make
      • 9 Years

      Sounds a bit rude!

      "sac" LOL

    2. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Sergi0-Aguer0

      0-0

  27. Brosstan
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Sane TC has been a disaster so far.. but at least looking good for this one with Sane, Kun, Laporte

  28. George Sillett
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    First time I've been bummed by Aguero.

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Did he do it well?

      1. denial
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        With his hand?

  29. _Make
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    In hindsight Kun TC was a good call, (not just because he scored a hatty 🙂 )

    He was always likely to score against Arsenal. Then, especially if Liverpool slipped up at all Pep had to reward him with another start. Good job Kun Kappers!

  30. The 5% Team
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Any predictions on WBA - Brighton?

    Brighton fielding a second team, sort of.

    1. tambourineman
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      WBA playing quite a few reserves as well, neither side wants to win so probably end up being a draw, Brighton on pens.
