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.

    Laporte, ahhh. Why did I go Ederson!

    1. Relaxing
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Because he's more nailed. And cheaper (I think?)

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

        That is exactly why

        1. Relaxing
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          😉

  2. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Danilo greater attacking threat they said 🙂

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Fans wanted him dropped after Newcastle they said

  3. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Yeah there was no way I was gonna get Laporte anyway 😆 oh well. Fair play to those who held out with him, or risked getting him this GW. Hard to predict he’d get 2 GI’s as well!

  4. Sim Simma

    I'm going to Laporte a problem with my team to FFS

  5. andrewe63
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    That guy who was advised by FFS members not to swap Alonso for laporte is on suicide watch

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Imagine believing anything Jafooli says in the year 2019

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I made this move and it kinda makes up for not having Aguero, especially if City keep a clean sheet here

  6. potatoace
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Suppose that's better than nowt.

      Good banter eh :eyeroll:

  11. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Come on Laporte, go away. Had you for so many weeks and now you decide to deliver when I am keeping that muppet Digne?

  12. Don Kloppeone
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Oh Aymeric you little beauty

  13. MTPockets
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Hugely uncomfortable watching as Sane TCer

      1. Waylander
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Agreed. He's been playing poorly and so many backward passes. Needs to whip in some crosses and run at Kenny!

        1. MTPockets
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Go on, say it again

            1. Waylander
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Positive reinforcement 😉

              1. MTPockets
                  7 years, 2 months ago

                  I really hope so but stressy and not optimistic

        2. TheTinman
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Oh man. The only city player I was going to bring in was Laporte. Bottled it. Never mind....

        3. Merlin the Wraith
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Floodgates breached...

        4. FPL Scoop
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          City go top if result stands.

          Liverpool do have a game in hand though. They better hope they don’t bottle it.

        5. Waylander
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Sane needs to be more direct and put some crosses in. Every time he gets the ball out wide he puts his foot on it and passes it backwards. Hopefully Pep has a word at half-time.

          1. MTPockets
              7 years, 2 months ago

              deja vu

            • Brosstan
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              He keeps trying to invite runs in behind but the passes either come too late (= 4 offsides) or are overhit.

            • 16 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Best 4 point hit I’ve ever made bringing in Laporte and Aguero(c)- thank you fantasy Gods....

            Laporte cleansheet means he beats Kun points?

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

              No, game not finished either.

          5. One for All
            • 7 Years

            How does Laporte have 12 its he didn't get an assist?

            1. Team Cruel
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              He assisted Kun.

            2. Richd
              • 13 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              He got an assist v arsenal

                • 11 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                Had a disallowed goal against Arsenal too...could have had a biblical score

            1. Richd
              • 13 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Awful performance. But pep isn’t the type to do half time subs

            Pep tactical switch came at the right time for laporte and kun owners.No one could have predicted that

            Draft team on course for 100 points this week. Have Higuain, Jimenez, Mili, Alonso, Laporte, A. Gomez, Aguero and Walker.
