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.

    These games on weekdays tend to suck

      Poor atmosphere, etc.

    Had a feeling after the massive bonus that was Sunday that this DGW would fizzle our starting with 3 x Liverpool players all blanking. Please Kun make it a cracker.

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      As an Aguero owner (and nobody else in this game) I wouldn't mind it fizzling out if it meant he's on 19 points and by far the top scorer of the week.

      1. 4-4-who?
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        He should get 60 mins, so plenty of opportunity yet

    Liverpool fan here admittedly. And the anti Liverpool pressure in the uk is getting borderline racial. But this team from Everton. Sheeesh

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Borderline racial?? What?! 😆

    2. A.T
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Racial 😆

    3. TheTinman
      • 10 Years

      Hahahaha feeling the pressure????

    4. Amsterhammer

      Are you sure you mean that?

    5. Here's Tom with the We…
      • 14 Years

      Racial? Haha! You sound like my scouse brother in law.

    6. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I couldn't disagree more. The majority of people I know all over the country want to see Liverpool win the PL.
      The idea of anti Liverpool pressure in the UK is entirely in your head.

      I think you meant to say glacial

      Borderline facial?

      Not been your brightest moment has it ?

    13. Business Cat

      I hope Aguero doesn't become bracial in the 2nd half

  6. Boomerang V
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    I think City is really missing KDB and Sterling. Seems they cannot create anything.

  7. 4-4-who?
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Another Everton corner...

  8. Jonny HOW SON?
    • 11 Years

    Bring on Catinho already...

    1. Mysterion

      Put the Cattermole among the pigeons...

  9. Jafooli

    Sane gonna get hooked here......doubt he’ll make 60mins

  10. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 8 Years

    Dammnit Everton going at it loll

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

    I'm 90% sure the red flag on Digne said he would return on 9th Feb..?

    Still my fault for being cocky and starting him. Likely to miss out on AWB points haha. What a tit.

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

      Did the same. Concentrating more on city and forgot about him!

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

        Let's hope for a goal or something!! Miracle clean sheet

    2. mir
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      A few hours after his sending off the flag did say he'll miss 3 games. It then changed back to just missing the one.

      Should he have been red flagged at all as was available for the a game in the game week?

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

        So Mark is to blame!!

    3. Mysterion
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      26 Feb at first then corrected to 6 Feb

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

        They shouldn't be making those mistakes. But a very casual error by me. I'll take it on the chin

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

          Yeah their flag department could do with a serious overhaul tbh

  12. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    What this game could really do with is a good old fashioned Sterling false 9. Get Aguero off.

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Hear hear

  13. Jam0sh

    Richarlison and Sterling warming up?

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

      Goal each

  14. The Enlightener
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Sane looking poor

  15. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Sane is fantastic so far, what a player ! Outstanding. OMG

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

    Sane messes up again

  17. Numb
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Sterling is going to come on and win this isn’t he?

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

      Yes

    2. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      no chance

    3. A.T
      • 15 Years

      Lookman

      1. Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Where ?

    4. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Hopefully yes.

    5. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      No

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

      I think he wont feature unfortunately especially if City score...

    7. mir
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Nah he'll stay on bench. He rarely comes off it.

  18. Rash
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Sane having a mare

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

      Why does he keep putting the ball out of play?

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

        Because he knows I've got him skipper

  19. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Sané just isn't exciting captain material. Never again.

  20. mattyb09
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Was going to keep Aguero for CHE, but now considering just going back to Auba. Would be surprised if Pep starts him 3 times in 7 days.

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

      Wth would he start Jesus loll suddenly in a big game

      1. mattyb09
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Because 250+ minutes in 7 days just doesn't happen.

    2. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I think he'll start again, if he was gonna miss one, it'd would've been this.

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

      If he stays longer then 65 I am shipping out

  21. The Enlightener
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Sane a world beater until I picked him up. Now he's just a big sack of crap.

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

      Always happens

  22. moment
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Have already sold Sane for Son. Not seeing anything to make me regret this so far.

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

    The amount of bias on here is through the roof. Whether it's conscious or unconscious, it's pretty amusing

    1. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Confirmational bias particularly. When you spend an inordinate amount of time on a game its tough to admit its largely based on luck.

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

        Spot on Granny. You should be running this thing 🙂

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years

      Always man, always

  24. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    People say Sané has been messing up, and to a small degree sure... but those passes to him have mostly been quite poor. Over-hit as heck.

    1. The Enlightener
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      He's not on his game at the moment regardless.

  25. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Some idiot did Hazard and Fandruff to Sterling and Richy. Now he’s staring at the FPL screen feeling clever

  26. Tom
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Does anyone know any radio stations that are broadcasting the game?

    1. A.T
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Everton official site will have it.

    2. 4-4-who?
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Bet 365 have an audio commentary

    3. moment
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      It's not on (legal) TV or radio in the UK.

  27. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Sane off form, blame Pep for benching?

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I'm fully expecting 1pt for Sane(TC)ers

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe Pep benched him because he was showing signs of being out of form?

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

      Blame pep for everything

    4. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I don't mind since he blocked a large amount of Aguero VC's

  28. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Bernard is just sh*t player. I see now why he was for free...

    1. Eugeniekwh
      • 9 Years

      whats your issue mate, don't need to be toxic

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Limited brain capacity I'm afraid.

  29. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    City looking shaky

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

    People slating Sane but its David Silva who keeps messing up the attacks.
