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.

    For people who know someone with a US address, I recommend Sling.com. Its a valid site (not illegal streaming) showing all games that are on NBC, which is most. Costs only 20 $ a month. And several people can watch at the same time, so you can split the bill.

    They show the game tonight for instance, and 3pm Saturday games.

      Thanks but the t'interweb free zone is here to stay.

    Where will Digne's latest minus score come from tonight?

    A. Own goal
    B. Sending off
    C. Conceding 6+ / 4+ and a YC?

    1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      C 4+

      Great question

    2. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Probably C... He's already done the first 2 methinks

      1. Black Knights
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        He’s done C too, v spurs?

    3. waltzingmatildas
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I thought he was suspended for 3 matches so he's 3rd on my bench. Wouldn't mind that this week!

      Zero minutes played, YC for kicking off in a mass brawl on the pitch

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

      Ooh there are some good answers here. I'm fascinated to find out!

    6. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Probably score a brace and get a cleansheet.

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

        Boo! Killjoy 🙂

  4. FC Hakkebøf
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Happy to see Sane (C) start, but I have this feeling Aguero will run riot and ruin the remainder of the FPL season

    BBC: Sergio Aguero has scored just one goal for every 358 minutes he has faced Everton, his worst goal-per-minute record against any Premier League side

    1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 8 Years

      Straws. Clutching.

        I know. Just adding to the conversation.

    That's quite a stat they've just reeled off on NBC

    Aguero: no league goals in 7 league appearances against Everton going back to 2014

      Time to remedy that. Having said that, will take a couple of assists.

    3. Pishpott
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I hope he gets 7 tonight then to put that right. TC for the win.

    Any chance Sane pulls a slight hammy in warmups? Bednarek bench points laughing at me.

      Pep merked you with Sterling?

      At the pub, with a pint, City on the big screen. Come on Sane, give us a haul

    6. _Make
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Being serious, will Digne be the first FPL player to record three consecutive negative returns? I wouldn't bet against it with tonight's opposition.

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

        FPL legendary status incoming!

      2. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
        • 8 Years

        This is my favourite topic. I'm super excited for it. Fingers crossed! 🙂

      3. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Needs a penalty miss to complete the OG and RC hatrick of shame

        1. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Has anyone ever done this?

          1. Old Man
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            I remember Jon Walters scoring 2 own goals and missing a penalty.

            1. Scapegoat Salah
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Yes!

          2. _Make
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Surely not in consecutive games? 🙂

            1. Old Man
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              My fault - hadn't realsied that we're talking three successive negative gamed.
              Walters did his thing in one game v Chelsea

          3. Business Cat
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            In the same game, unlikely

            I did have Stoke's Jon Walters in my FPL team for his legendary -5pts for 2x OG and a penalty miss

            https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/20919045

            ...that was close!

      Rafa on the blower to Silva.

      keep calm and park the bus.

      Lol@me playing richa over peltier

    9. Thick Of It
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I have Luiz, Haz, Laporte and Kun for the weekend fixtures...any sensible transfers or save for 2ft the following game week? I am leaning towards the latter with the next set of fixtures not being until Feb 22nd.

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

        Did the Auba -> Kun hokey, most likely still doing the cokey

        1. Thick Of It
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          A fair call, I guess I am lucky being free of Everton and Brighton "assets". Those Arsenal fixtures are entcing

      2. Podge
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Haz to Son is popular

    10. Maddi Son
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Pretty mental that some people think captaining Aguero in a DGW is luck. They probably think Leicester got lucky winning the league too.

      1. MTPockets
          7 years, 2 months ago

          But but ...oh

        • Arteta
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Give it a rest.

        • Here's Tom with the We…
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          It’s fairly lucky in the fact he’s started tonight. A lot of people (including myself) thought he would only play one.

          1. Maddi Son
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            But pretend the first game against Arsenal hasn't happened yet. Is captaining one of the best strikers in Prem history before a DGW luck? It's a sensible move and a no brainer.

            1. Evil Buddha
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              It's not a no brainer. Sterling and Sane are equally good options. As is Hazard against Hud and Salah too.

        • Evil Buddha
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Captaining Aguero isn't luck. Him playing both games and getting points is luck. Fpl is luck.

        • _Make
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          If he'd blanked against Arsenal, entirely possible, he would probably have been benched tonight.

        • diesel001
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Of course it is luck. What makes Aguero a better pick than Sterling or Sane?

          Yes.

        2. Mo Mané Mo Problems
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          I would if I owned him.

          I mean, I’m not sure we second guess Pep anymore, but surely he’ll start Sterling vs Chelsea...

        3. Arteta
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Probably. I can get Salah for -4 and captain him so I'm undecided.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years

          Was going to transfer for Son but will probably lose Aguero for Auba instead.

          I should have had a bet with Mark. He was so sure Sterling was going to start and Aguero benched.
