Fantasy Premier League managers who backed Manchester City’s key attackers were handed a boost on Sunday afternoon.

Sergio Aguero (£11.7m) and Raheem Sterling (£11.5m), who some feared would be rotated ahead of a big Champions League match, have both been named in the starting line-up.

They are joined in the side by Kevin de Bruyne (£9.7m) who has now started five of the last six Premier League matches.

There will be plenty for those with a tactical interest in this encounter as Benjamin Mendy (£6.1m) and Leroy Sané (£9.3m) have both been selected in the starting XI.

It will be of great importance to analyse how those two players interact with each other given what they have offered Fantasy managers at various stages this season.

Meanwhile, Bernardo Silva (£7.6m) has shaken off his yellow flag to make the bench and Fernandinho (£5.3m) misses out with a knock.

As expected, Crystal Palace are down to their second-string in the centre-back department with Mamadou Sakho (£4.9m) and James Tomkins (£4.3m) out injured.

It will be Martin Kelly (£3.9m) and Scott Dann (£4.4m) tasked with schackling Aguero this afternoon.

Up front, there is a surprising selection by Roy Hodgson, who has benched Michy Batshuauyi (£6.5m) to give Christian Benteke (£6.3m) a first start since Gameweek 26.

Man City XI: Ederson, Walker, Kompany, Laporte, Mendy, Gundogan, Silva, De Bruyne, Sane, Sterling, Aguero.

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita, Wan Bissaka, Kelly, Dann, Van Aanholt, McArthur, Milivojevic, Schlupp, Townsend, Benteke, Zaha.

    Sane to Sterling is a deadly combo. Still can't understand why Sane has been dropped for such a long period of time.

  6. The Bandit
    • 15 Years

    Sane great cross there. AwB should be tighter to him, but was dragged out of position by Silva. Brilliant by city.

  11. Champions united
    • 9 Years

  12. Zladan

    Sterling to KDB was a very bad move.

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years

    Should have gone with my god damn gut with Sterling Deeney over Eriksen Aguero ffs....

    Got swayed by all the Aguero love

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Blame blame blame

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

      Both good options, still could be decided later.

    3. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Swayed? There was more Deeney love than Aguero love if anything.

  17. Ask Yourself
    • 10 Years

    let's go Bilva

  18. dark91
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Moura 3 , Pogba 2, Sterling 2 (so far)

    Now it is your turn Hazard to score a brace (at least) and keep the trend going

    1. Champions united
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      If U own all 3 of them

      1. dark91
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        1. Champions united
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

      2. dark91
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        And I guess many non wildcarders would own these 3 too

    2. El-Kloppico

      1. F_Ivanovic
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Not surprised. He loves playing Hazard as a false 9 in the tough games.
