Pep Guardiola ‘Roulette’ has struck once again as the Manchester City manager named his team sheet for the visit of Watford.

Raheem Sterling (£12.2m) has been dropped to the bench for the first time this season, replaced in the starting line-up by Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m).

Also missing from the starting XI is Oleksandr Zinchenko (£5.6m), who has not even made it onto the bench.

Benjamin Mendy (£5.9m) has come into the side in his place to start at left-back.

Key options Sergio Aguero (£12.2m) and Kevin de Bruyne (£9.8m) are both in the starting line-up.

Watford manager Quique Sanchez Flores has named an interesting formation as he prepares for a tough afternoon of football.

Gerard Deulofeu (£6.2m) has been chosen to lead the line while defender Kiko Femenía (£4.4m) is deployed on the right flank of attacking midfield.

A new budget defender has emerged in Dimitri Foulquier (£4.0m) who starts the match at right-back.

There will be plenty of interest in events at Turf Moor this afternoon as Burnley take on Norwich.

The 10% invested in Ashley Barnes (£6.7m) may be giving him his last chance as he starts against the porous Norwich defence.

Meanwhile, Teemu Pukki (£7.1m) and Todd Cantwell (£4.9m) both start for the Canaries amid continued transfer activity for both players.

Finally, Everton manager Marco Silva has trusted Moise Kean (£6.7m) another chance at leading the line this afternoon.

He and Bernard (£6.5m) represent two changes from the side that lost at Bournemouth in Gameweek 5.

Sheffield United also make a change in attack with Callum Robinson (£5.3m) coming in for David McGoldrick (£5.5m) to lead the line with Oli McBurnie (£5.9m).

Burnley XI: Pope; Pieters, Mee, Tarkowski, Lowton; McNeil, Westwood, Cork, Hendrick; A Barnes, Wood.

Norwich XI: Krul; Lewis, Godfrey, Amadou, Byram; Tettey, McLean; Cantwell, Stiepermann, Buendía; Pukki.

Everton XI: Pickford; Digne, Mina, Keane, Coleman; Delph, Schneiderlin; Bernard, Sigurdsson, Richarlison; Kean.

Sheffield United XI: D Henderson; O’Connell, Egan, Basham; Stevens, Fleck, Norwood, Lundstram, Baldock; Robinson, McBurnie.

Manchester City XI: Ederson; Mendy, Otamendi, Fernandinho, Walker; Rodrigo, De Bruyne, D Silva; Mahrez, Aguero, B Silva.

Watford XI: Foster; Holebas, Dawson, Mariappa, Foulquier; Capoue, Doucouré; Hughes, Cleverley, Femenía; Deulofeu.

      Lucky with bench points. Had Sterling been on, he'd probably have. Hat-trick, sub or not.

  2. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Cant believe Aguero only got 9 points. What a plonker. Missed how many? 5 big chances?

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Honestly, it almost constitutes a captain fail given the context

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

    5 from 3 any good?

    1. Dr. Agabuse
      • 13 Years

      Haha Yes Brother.
      Good sense of humour

  5. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    KDB & Lundstram up 0.5 between them by next week

    Cha-Ching!

    1. Peter Ouch
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Bring it on!

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Well done on the captaincy lad, the 18 points is close!

        1. Peter Ouch
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Cheers!
          Your prediction was on spot!

  6. Mr. Grv
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    My captain aguero is scoring less points than vc KDB.
    It hurts even tho i have kdb.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Poor you.

  7. niko mate

  8. Ask Yourself
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Sterling owners were right to hold after all massive football brains you all have this was to be expected

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Periods are your friend.

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I think need a nice juicy ribeye to recover, reverse seared, and rare

  9. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    More Kevin, more!

  10. Pedram
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Sterling > KDB done

  11. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    The fact that Sterling often doesn't come on once he's been benched is a big plus in his favour.

    Also, Aguero non-owners have been very, very lucky today.

  12. WVA
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Wow KDB my VC, Kun C, my VC captain has outscored my captain nearly every week for the past few seasons, unbelievable.

    1. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Nearly every week for the past few seasons...
      honestly unbelivably unlucky.

  13. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    De Bruyne VC - Sterling C. Lucky F----

    rico and lundstram in for zinch and sterling plus kdb (vc).
    lets goooo

  18. A Betting Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    I did two things at 5.25pm yesterday just because I felt I needed to do something in a week of no transfers.

    Moved VC from KdB to Barnes. Inexplicable.
    Moved Kelly ahead of Lundstram on the bench. More rational but equally infuriating if Kelly plays.

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I did the complete opposite! Remembered to take a good look before the week started.

      VC from Salah > KdB
      Soyuncu > Lundstram first bench

      Humongous change in fortune from that.

  19. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    mahrez trying a kdb assist, but he isnt kdb

  20. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Almost another for KDB! Ooooph

  21. Stokelona
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    I am so so lucky! Brought in Sterling for Salah and captained Raz. Vice captain Kev. However as a Zinc and James owner I’m hoping Kelly and Greenwood get me some points off the bench. Mad gameweek!

  22. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Kelly and Greenwood getting minutes tomorrow?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah

    2. Andy'81
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Impossible to tell, greenwood will likely be on the bench.

  23. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    KDB sitter 🙁

  24. thepeen555

  25. djskope
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Kelly gonna come on for 1 min tomorrow and ruin Lund bench points :'-/

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      He'll start with Sakho

      1. Gudjohnsen
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        No Cahill?

  26. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Useless KDB

  27. FPL Daniel

  29. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Any chance for Kelly and Mount no show?

  30. MC Hammer
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Should I just do KDB perma-captain?
