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.

    At least Sane(c) got the Kun(vc) pts for the no show in the first game of the double. Phew.

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Nice bit of luck that.

    52 points at the moment. Any worse?

    1. FPL Scoop

      Not much better on 58. Couple of k rank drop

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

        30k and counting rank drop here. Close to giving up the season and rage transferring here on out.

      47 🙁

        What a DGW, huh! 🙁

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

      Yup. 48-4 despite having used my TC on probably the "safest" player

      1. 420king
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        unfortunate username for this round 🙁

      2. TAT
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Came close to RC Sané. Indecisiveness kept me from it. That's a small comfort.

        1. TAT

          Who did you take a hit for?

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

        Would be great if he got that one point! Everything counts!

        1. 420king
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          He just did, unless he gets YCed. 70k rank down here btw.

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

            That's something at least…
            70K rank drop is brutal. There's always next gameweek, though!

    Replace Toby Flenderson with sane!

    Sanes gone,

    Any Chance for Kun Goal ?

    1. 4-4-who?
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yes please

  6. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Now that Sane is out,it's a huge change for all of us with Kun(c) or (tc) to climb the ranks.

    1. Old Wulfrunian
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      chance*

  7. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Is anything actually happening in the match?

  8. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Why can't people hold off on Sane to Son? At least wait until the press conferences to make sure Son is available. Who knows what has happened between the game on Saturday and now.

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      And stop price rise.

  9. MTPockets
    7 years, 6 months ago

    59 minutes though. Why 59 minutes

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      It’s to troll the FPL General

      1. MTPockets
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Oh I don't like him so that makes me feel a bit better.

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Was pretty sure it was gonna happen after the first half

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      58 actually

    4. Trippier Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Wouldn't it be nice if managers weren't allowed to sub out players between 50 and 60 mins of a match (injury aside), out of consideration for FPL players!

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

    Sterling close

  11. Yank Revolution
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Raheem close

  12. ZeBestee
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Sterling almost

  13. Tsssst
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Sane to Mane for this weeks FT then

    1. ThisTimeNxtYrRodney
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I would and should transfer sane out but I can afford a drop on him, so I shall at least wait while tomorrow. Just want a goal from TC Kun to put the icing on the cake.

  14. TheFunkPhe-Gundogan
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Listless, gash, piss poor display by Sané. I would have subbed him off as well. Worst DGW Capt. in 8 years of me playing FPL.
    Horrible first touches, multiple off sides, just absolutely dreadful to watch.
    Of course, 30 year old Kun is running around like a water bug looking for another 90 mins. Just sitting there with a (V) next to him.

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      At least you didn’t TC

      1. TheFunkPhe-Gundogan
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        That’s the only silver lining mate. 58 mins is sheer salt in wound. 67 pts with 2 from my DGW Capt. I take solace in knowing I’m far from alone

  15. windowview
    • 11 Years

    Congratulations Sane captainers 🙁

  16. The Suspended One

    3. Chucky

      ban...

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

      Think you may be looking at a ban rather than suspension

    5. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      blocked shot almost went in, pickford was a potted plant

  17. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    My consolation is that I captained Salah over Sane at least. Saying something.

  18. mitro
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    This is worst than Digne's red card

  19. Chucky
    • 12 Years

    city closeee...

    Siggy on

  21. Rains of Castamere
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Absolutely gutted Sane captainer. Feels like 6 months of hard work undone in 4 days.

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

      100% hard FPL graft.

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

      Yeah atleast you didnt TC.. captaincy in general is a joke and requires so much luck

    3. MINUS FOUR
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Likewise. Been holding my own with a fantastic OR for weeks and weeks. All completely obliterated by this DGW in which I had 3 players including a hokey-cokey in for Aguero! Yet still a huge red arrow.

  22. Alnair
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    City look much better without Sane.

  23. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Please no more. End the game(week)

    1. _Make

      *season

    2. The 5% Team
      • 8 Years

      3 more days until the next one

  24. BIG TONES
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Very unlikely Sane starts vs Chelsea after being hooked tonight right?

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      No one knows

      1. BIG TONES
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Fair enough

    2. Webbinho
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I’d say no. B Silva, Aguero, Sterling appears the first choice 3 now

  25. The Suspended One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    everton watching city play like they have a bucket of popcorn out there

  26. dbeck
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Sane to pogba or son?

    1. BIG TONES
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Son

  27. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Will Sane start on the weekend.Unlikely.

    1. Niho992
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      No way he will start after that performance.

    2. Les Bleus
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Who tf knows at this point

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

    FPL should remove captaincy to improve the enjoyability of the game. So pissing dumb how captaincy decides so much of the game on what is essentially 50/50 decisions a lot of the time.

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Nah, it’s a sensational part of the game

    2. Burger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Sane(c)?

    3. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      It’s only a small part of a complex game my man

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

      The argument I suppose is that the luck evens out. It's going to be hard to even out the Kun-Sané swing though 🙁

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

        It doesnt even out at all.

    5. Alnair
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah but then jammy casuals would have less ways to beat good players. The problem is when you get jammy captainers actually thinking they're good managers. Not naming names.

    6. KingOllie
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I fully agree. It negates a lot of the skill involved. You can do everything right for months, now all that hard work has been wiped out by some bad luck depsite Sane being a strong choice

  29. Niho992
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Everton is IMO worst team in the league.

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee

      Why? They’re playing smart
