Aguero returns to the City starting XI as Bergwijn makes Spurs debut

Gameweek 25 comes to a conclusion at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with Manchester City the visitors to north London.

Kick-off is at 16:30 GMT.

Pep Guardiola has made a couple of changes to the side that beat Sheffield United in their last Premier League game.

The main one from a Fantasy perspective concerns Sergio Aguero (£12.0m), who replaces Gabriel Jesus (£9.5m) as City’s central striker.

Ilkay Gundogan (£5.2m) also comes into midfield, with centre-back Aymeric Laporte (£6.3m) not part of the matchday squad.

City look to be back in a 4-3-3 following their dalliances with a wing-back system in recent weeks.

Kevin De Bruyne (£10.7m) makes his 17th successive Premier League start in central midfield, while Raheem Sterling (£11.7m) and Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m) retain their places either side of Aguero.

Jose Mourinho makes three changes to the side that started the win over Norwich City, one of which sees winger Steven Bergwijn (£7.5m) make his debut following his £26.7m move from PSV Eindhoven.

Davinson Sanchez (£5.3m) and budget FPL defender Japhet Tanganga (£4.0m) also come into the starting XI, with Ryan Sessegnon (£5.4m), Jan Vertonghen (£5.2m) and Erik Lamela (£5.7m) all dropping to the bench.

Only two sides have kept fewer clean sheets than Spurs since Jose Mourinho took charge, although the Lilywhites have conceded fewer big chances than any other team in that time.

No team has scored more goals on the road than Manchester City in 2019/20, with Guardiola’s troops having found the back of the net on 34 occasions in their 12 away fixtures.


Spurs XI: Lloris, Aurier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Tanganga, Winks, Lo Celso, Dele, Bergwijn, Son, Lucas.

Man City XI: Ederson, Walker, Otamendi, Fernandinho, Zinchenko, Rodrigo, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Mahrez, Sterling, Aguero.

    This always happen when you have a triple up going into the last game. Everyone wasting huge sitters... this will finish 0-1 with a Rodri goal

    This game is hilarious. 😀 Of course it's officiated by Dean. 😀

    1. Bragazeti

      Couldn't make it up

  19. Fred54

    Son clearly has trust issues, won't pass.

  20. Sailboats

    Sterling must be in danger of getting dropped

    Has been in dreadful form for months

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Man City's best performances (vs Aston Villa and vs Watford) came when he didn't start the game.

      Stop feuling fear about Brexit

  22. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Raheem Sterling or Jordon Ibe?

  23. TRIPOS TOPPER
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Moyes will play 9 at the back vs City, could be frustrating!

  24. Gudjohnsen

    4 years, 2 months ago

    Can't stand the overrated piece of turd that is Sterling.

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Harvey Barnes is better

  25. ZeBestee

    4 years, 2 months ago

    Mourinho parks the bus as usual, at home. The guy is done it seems.

    Sterling is not a 12m fpl player.. Hasn't been almost whole season.

    1. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Mark still believes

    2. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Hes not even a PL quality player

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I cannot believe there is so much vitriol reserved for him - what's he done to upset everyone so badly? Earn loads of dosh? Nobody was complaining when he was banging the goals in last year!

        1. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          I have complained since before the season started. Pointing out that hes bad isnt "vitriol", its fact.

          1. Old Man
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            He probably isn't playing well (I'm not watching) but he's just out of form. When he's playing well he's a great player.
            Why were you complaing befpre the season started - what had he done then (or not)?

  27. SB007
    • 6 Years

    Pep said not clinical enough. Get Jesus on.

  28. Niho992

    Son winner would be great

    1. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Would be lucky given they stopped playing.

  29. FDMS All Starz

    Aguero essential for West Ham? Unlucky not to have scored yet

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Pep might see it as wasteful.

  30. Rainer

    City need a saviour.

    1. diesel001

      David Silva for Gundogan or Rodri. Get someone creative in midfield.
