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.

    What’s worse with a sane captain?! Watching Saturday with him benched or today praying every ball finds him, and the net??

  2. DAZZ

    Sane is fine. Looks likely to run it off.

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

      Looked a bit ugly in slow motion. Thank god

    1. Salah’s Sonnet

      1. Richd
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

  6. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Sane TC already on three points....don’t get greedy.....

  7. Ain't No Holebas Girl
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Is Sánchez 25 the highest total in a GW or have there been others?

    1. Bubz
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Walcott and Frank Lampard

    2. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      In a single gameweek or double? Rooney got 32 in a double once, I had him as captain

      1. Sánchez
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I never even thought about doubles

    3. Evil Buddha
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Salah 29 in single Gw

    4. Sánchez
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Salah last year? Think 28.
      Berbatov once got 25 I think.

      1. Sánchez
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Wijnaldum 25 too

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

      Salah beat it last season against Watford

    6. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I think Aguero also hit 25 vs Newcastle few years back

      5 goals + 2 + 3 baps

      1. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Another one where I 'almost' triple captained him

        1. TRIPOS TOPPER
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          I did actually TC him that time. My finest hour (and best season ever)

    7. Black Knights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Kane got 31 in 16/17 and Salah 29 in 17/18. Alexis was 27. FPL tweeted earlier.

    8. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Lampard scored 4 vs someone once plus an assist or 2. Might have been Derby or Villa

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        In fact he did it twice against the aforementioned teams, in 2008 and 2010

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

      Salah 29 last year in SGW vs. Watford.
      Sanchez and Kane 26 and 27 respectively in DGWs in 2017.
      Sanchez and Aguero 25 and 26 respectively in DGWs in 2016, and Aguero 25 vs. Newcastle the same year.

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

        Edit: meant Sanchez and Kane 27 and 31 respectively in 2017.

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

      Aguero got 26 the same week Sanchez scored 25. Kane 31 two seasons ago.

    11. Fergus1107
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Ronaldo and Suaraz had some monster scores in days gone by

    12. Ain't No Holebas Girl
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Thanks stat fans, very interesting! Managed to forget about Salah last season already even though I capped him that day, was playing FPL in the Ronaldo days but my memory of scores doesn’t stretch very far (clearly).

  8. The Enlightener

    Laporte misses open header off corner

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

    just put it in the box Sane... damn...

  10. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Laporte misses a sitter

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

      Went Danilo rather than Laporte - the assist at the weekend was bad - a goal would be a disaster!!

  11. 4-4-who?
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    City struggling at present due to Everton's press

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

      Are you even watching the game? Could be 3-0 city

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

        Looking more like it now 🙂

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Good one 😉

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

  13. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years

    I'd like city to lose this game please.

    1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      ban

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

    Laporte misses Gundogan corner. Hands on head moment.

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

    Laporte missing that wasnt easy to swallow.

  16. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Sane back looking lively

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

    Laporte should have had a 25 pter this DGW..

  18. COLLIN QUANER
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Hoping for a 0-0 as I own Ederson and Sterling (c). Unless of course Sterling comes on

  19. Richd
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    How did Laporte miss that

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

      headed wide

  20. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    0 - 0 written all over it 🙂

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

    Good so far

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

    Sane triple capper and Laporte owner here... looks like one of these days.

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

    Laporte so dangerous in a more attacking role

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I wonder if Pep would consider buying a new centre back for next season and playing Laporte permanently at LB/LWB

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

        Not a bad shout but I think he sees Mendy in that spot

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

    This game needs Sterling !

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

    Would you rather City or Liverpool win the league?

    1. COLLIN QUANER
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      City

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

      Liverpool fans : Liverpool
      Everyone else : City

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Not so

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

      Liverpool...it's time

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

    That would have really helped laporte.

  27. Bubz
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Was this game originally an untelevised 3pm game?

    1. Here's Tom with the We…
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Not sure, but seem to think it was a 5:30 ko on a sat?

    2. Black Knights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Looks like it, as GW27 is a bit short on them.

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

        Would have been United v Liverpool, and the league cup final.

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

      It was originally BT's 5:30 Saturday evening pick in GW27, they chose Leicester-Palace as an alternative when City reached League Cup final

  28. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Crossbar

  29. The Enlightener
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    City off the bar. Think it was Aguero who touched it last.

    1. The Enlightener
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Gundogan, my bad. Off crossbar.

  30. Richd
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    OMG
