The Aguero injury latest as City rotation gives Fantasy managers food for thought

Manchester City 5-0 Burnley

  • Goals: Phil Foden (£5.1m) x2, Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m) x2, David Silva (£7.3m)
  • Assists: Bernardo Silva (£7.7m) x2, Fernandinho (£5.1m), Sergio Aguero (£11.8m), Gabriel Jesus (£9.6m)
  • Bonus: Foden x3, Mahrez x2, Bernardo, Silva x1

Pep Guardiola said Sergio Aguero‘s (£11.8m) knee injury “doesn’t look good” after the Manchester City striker limped out of his side’s 5-0 win over Burnley on Monday evening.

Aguero appeared to injure himself when winning a first-half penalty for Guardiola’s troops but the Argentine had been sighted holding his knee earlier in the game and his manager confirmed after full-time that it is an issue that has caused discomfort for some time.

The City boss said in his post-match interview and press conference:

He felt something in his knee. He was struggling the last month, some pain in his knee.

It doesn’t look good for this season.

Tomorrow we will see and know exactly what he has. But the doctor says it will take time. A few games [out] for sure but maybe tomorrow the tests he is going to get maybe some good news – we will see.

Aguero’s Fantasy assist for Riyad Mahrez’s (£8.5m) spot-kick was his last contribution at the Etihad and while it was at least some consolation for the premium FPL forward’s owners, his total of eight points across two Double Gameweek 30+ matches would have left many feeling short-changed.

The stock of Gabriel Jesus (£9.6m) could be about to rise as we await a proper diagnosis from the City medical department, although it should be said that Raheem Sterling (£11.7m) has operated as a ‘false nine’ in Guardiola’s various systems before and the Brazilian will surely not be starting week-in, week-out from now until Gameweek 38+ even if Aguero is sidelined.

With eight goals scored, none conceded and 174 Fantasy Premier League points plundered, Manchester City were the success story of Double Gameweek 30+.

The trouble is, of course, that the minutes and points were shared across 20 different City assets, with only Ederson (£6.0m), David Silva (£7.3m) and Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m) starting against both Arsenal and Burnley.

The Brazilian goalkeeper was, rather predictably, the only member of Guardiola’s squad who was handed three hours of pitch-time over the last week.

The City boss made a whopping eight changes from the side that beat the Gunners last Wednesday, with Jesus, Sterling, Kevin De Bruyne (£10.6m), Aymeric Laporte (£6.3m), Kyle Walker (£5.6m), Benjamin Mendy (£5.5m) and Ilkay Gundogan (£5.2m) all dropping to the bench.

Sterling (who has now missed out on 8-0, 6-1 and 5-0 wins), Mendy and Walker were all unused substitutes against the Clarets, while De Bruyne and Laporte emerged for one-pointers in the second half.

With the Citizens set to be in action twice a week between now and Gameweek 38+ and league results likely to be low down on Guardiola’s priority list, this ‘new normal’ (which is just the old normal on acid) is something Fantasy managers are going to have to get used to if they are to tap into this free-scoring City side.

Above: Manchester City players’ game-time in Double Gameweek 30+

Of the players who did start on Monday, Mahrez and Phil Foden (£5.1m) were the undoubted stars of the show.

The Algerian scored a fine individual effort after cutting in from the right flank on 42 minutes and, with Aguero, De Bruyne and Gundogan all off the field, stepped up to convert from 12 yards on the stroke of half-time after the Argentine had been felled by Ben Mee (£5.0m).

Guardiola’s comments in January about Mahrez being injury-resistant have been wheeled out as proof that the Algerian will be a regular starter during the forthcoming period of fixture congestion but it is naive to think that he too isn’t at risk; Sterling’s powers of “regeneration” had also previously been hailed by his manager and the England winger was consigned to bench duty against the Clarets.

While some of us will baulk at paying premium Fantasy money for assets that may only start every other game, Foden is arguably worth the risk at just £5.1m.

His 21st-minute strike from distance had broken the deadlock and he rounded off the scoring just after the hour-mark, finishing sharply after Jesus had miscued a shot in his direction.

Better still was his “assist for the assist” for David Silva’s goal, with a no-look pass setting Bernardo Silva (£7.7m) free in the Burnley box.

Foden is seen as the long-term successor to the ageing Silva but they were both deployed in the same team here, with the young midfielder operating further up the left flank.

Guardiola said after full-time:

When David said it was his last year I told the board we have Phil, so we don’t have to invest.

It is difficult to find a replacement but [in Foden], we have a young Manchester City fan who every time he plays gives us something unique and special.

In the next decade, or 15 years, he will be an outstanding player for us. I don’t have doubts.

Foden won’t start every City league match from now until Gameweek 38+ and chances are that he may be back among the substitutes at Stamford Bridge on Thursday.

As a fifth FPL midfielder, however, he certainly has his merits and if we could sense that a start was in the offing, perhaps via a team news leak or the feeling that he was “due” a run-out following a benching or two, then Foden may prove decent value for money in the run-in.

From a Burnley perspective, this is simply one of those games to forget about and move on.

The Clarets couldn’t lay a glove on City and managed just one shot all match but “easier” tests await, starting with a home clash against Watford on Thursday.

There is a sense that all is not well within the Burnley camp, however.

With Chris Wood (£6.1m), Ashley Barnes (£6.1m), Johann Berg Gudmundsson (£5.9m) and Robbie Brady (£5.5m) all injured, the Clarets were further weakened by the loss of another four players ahead of kick-off; Joe Hart (£4.2m), Jeff Hendrick (£5.4m), Aaron Lennon (£4.6m) and Phil Bardsley (£4.3m), all of whom are nearing the end of their contracts, were not even among the substitutes as doubts linger over their futures.

Four academy products made it onto Dyche’s under-strength bench as a result, with two goalkeepers among the seven substitutes that the Burnley boss named.

Dyche was evidently irked by his board’s attitude, saying:

These situations didn’t need to occur. That is something the chairman and the board must learn from.

The COVID crisis has not been helpful for sure but it’s not been the cover story because I’ve been talking about this for 18 months.

It’s a strange situation with contracts. Players who haven’t been offered things have decided not to finish their contracts.

We have had a healthy return but the chairman makes the decisions. I can only advise. Life at Burnley is tough at times.

With many of us opting for Nick Pope (£4.9m) between the posts between now and Gameweek 38+, there’ll be concerns that those off-the-field issues could be adversely affecting the Clarets’ on-field displays during the run-in.

Manchester City XI (4-3-3): Ederson; Cancelo, Fernandinho (Laporte 60′), Otamendi, Zinchenko; Foden (Sane 79′), Rodri, D Silva; Mahrez (De Bruyne 60′), Bernardo, Aguero (Jesus 45′). 

Burnley XI (4-4-2): Pope; Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor; Brownhill, Westwood, Cork, McNeil; Rodriguez (Pieters 59′), Vydra (Thompson 88′).

    What do people's benches look like on a Wildcard?

    Wondering if it's worth going with absolute bench fodder or actually having relatively good players given the potential rotation

    1. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      2 Fodder and 2 playing players is the minimum needed in my view.

      1. GuillermoDickero
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Would you think a bench of Martin, Foden, Greenwood and Simpson is too poor?

        1. The Polymath
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Nope

    2. Mweene
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Martinez, Lascelles, Cahill, Ayew (I'm bench boosting in GW 32 and Palace are home to Burnley)

    3. Ibra
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I have Greenwood, Hayden and Kiko on the bench.

    4. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Depends on the likelihood of your first 11 playing every week. Very difficult to predict I know, but obviously the teams with more squad depth are going to rotate more heavily, and certain positions are more likely than others to require rotation.

    5. Kno
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Fodder keeper, cheapie defenders that play elsewhere. Expecting the bench to be used alot.

    6. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      You can pick up cheap playing players like Kiko, Guendouzi etc and a few decent 4.3s. Playing bench for me in these conditions. Nobody is immune from missing a full game.

    7. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I'm on Martin, Holgate, Guendouzi, Ngakia but think it could be too light

      1. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        You can't expect much from any bench player. A point or two would be acceptable. They're on the bench for a reason.

  2. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Need a goalie and 5th def

    A) Patricio + Ngakia (have Doherty)
    B) DDG + 3.9
    C) Foster + Taylor

  3. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Bottomed

    Pope
    TAA AWB Saiss
    Salah (c) KDB Fernandes (vc) Sarr
    Vardy Jimenez DCL

    Henderson Lascelles Cantwell Lundstram

    1FT, 0.8itb

    Any changes needed??

    Thanks

      Nice team. I would look to sell Pope

  4. internal error
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Can I get some votes please? Who is the best pick in your opinion?
    A) Martial
    B) Rashford

    1. John Colby (Capt)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Rashford by a mile

    2. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      B

    3. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Probably Rashford, but Martial has potential

      1. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I agree

  5. John Colby (Capt)
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Morning all. I need an Aguero replacement for one week. Should I bring in:
    A). Rashford v Sheff Utd
    B). Kane v West Ham
    C). Jiménez v Bournemouth

    I have Fernandes in midfield also.

    1. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      C

    2. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      C most likely to return something. A or B probably COULD score more, but not sure they will.

    3. Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Take a punt on Aubameyang

      1. John Colby (Capt)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers all

  6. Silecro
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Is this too risky of a WC lineup just to field most attacking defs? (cant stretch to doherty unfortunately)

    Patricio
    Trent/Aurier/Ritchie
    Salah/KDB/Son/Bruno/Martial
    DCL/Jimenez

    3.9/Taylor/Kiko/connoly

    I prefer 343 but wanted to hear your opinions

    1. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Not risky at all. Looks solid

    2. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I like it!

    3. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Thinking about the the same. Martial and cheap forward or Rashford and cheap mid. The money can be used to upgrade keeper.

  7. SHOOTER MCGINN
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    What would you do with this team? 1FT and 0.4 ITB.

    Pope (McCarthy)
    TAA Doherty Lascelles (Taylor O'Connell)
    Salah Mane KDB Fernandes Barnes
    Jiminez DCL (Martinelli)

    I think options are hold for a week and sell Salah/Mane next week, or sell one of them now. Could potentially take a hit to upgrade Martinelli this week too if Barnes doesn't play.

  8. Art Vandelay
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Chasing in my ML so decided to go without Liverpool attack and a few differentials. I appreciate it could backfire but not got much to lose.

    Thinking of something like this.

    Foster
    TAA Doherty Aurier
    Bruno Son Martial KDB Richarlison
    Vardy Jimenez

    Martinez Lascelles Nketiah Simpson

    1. Big Mac 24
      • 11 Years

      Tasty

      1. Art Vandelay
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Like a Big Mac with Martial and Richarlison special sauce...

        1. Big Mac 24
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Haha, never like the sound of someone’s special sauce though!!

          1. Art Vandelay
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Indeed, hence the ... 😆

  9. pundit of punts
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    RMFHT

    Alisson
    Doherty - Maguire - Ritchie
    Mane - KDB - Son - Fernandes - Richarlison
    Jimenez - DCL

    Can get TAA + DDG + Saiss for Doherty + Alisson + Ritchie

    Thoughts please? Really undecided.

    1. Union_Jacks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I love it, similar to my WC

  10. Ibra
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Am I gtg?

    Patricio
    TAA - Doherty - Aurier
    Mane - KDB - Bruno - Son
    Rashford - Jimenez - Greenwood

    Martin - Lascelles - Hayden - Kiko

    1. DandyDon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Looks good

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Oof having to play one of Greenwood or Hayden every week is very unappealing.

      Would sacrifice one of Son or Rashford to upgrade that 7th attacker. Can also downgrade Doherty.

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Also I didn't realize team value has been decimated for so many people. I can afford your entire team AND get DCL + Saka instead of Greenwood + Hayden.

      2. Ibra
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I'll probably mostly play Lascelles instead of Greenwood or Hayden

  11. Big Mac 24
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Son & Ings or Bergwyn & Vardy

    1. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Son and Ings

      1. Big Mac 24
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks.

        Is there a reason no one is feeling any love for Vardy at the moment

        1. internal error
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          I think Ings looked really sharp. Vardy less so. And Son is playing one of the weakest oppositions this week

  12. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Mane has scored 8 goals against CRY in the last 8 matches. Crazy to TC him?

    1. DandyDon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I wouldn’t TC but would hope he’d score

  13. denial
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Is salah really the better cap over Bruno? Bruno on pens, looked fit, will play 90. We don't know salah's fitness at all.

    1. Ninjaa
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Very risky to captain Salah imo

      1. Ninjaa
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        20 minute cameo perhaps. No reason for Klopp to risk him

        1. Mweene
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Risk him for what? Especially after playing 0 minutes against Everton.

          1. Ninjaa
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Well there is a risk of doing further damage if he's not 100% fit.

        2. denial
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Well, they are trying to wrap up the title and were blunt against Everton. There's reason to play him, we just have no idea what shape he's in.

    2. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Exactly. That’s why I’m being more tempted to do Salah to Bruno.

      Salah also played no minutes in Liverpool’s friendly before the restart

      1. Mweene
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        He played in one of the friendlies. Surely he's absolutely nailed to start v Palace. Not exactly anything else to rest him for.

    3. Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      High risk, high reward.
      Salah will play 90.

  14. Ninjaa
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    1. DCL or Ings ???
    2. Best budget Gk to keep for rest of season?
    3. Which one for Newcastle defence cover: Dubrovka, Fernandez or Lascelles ?
    4. Which one to leave out of Fernandes, Son, Rashford or Jiminez????

    1. Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      DC-L
      Foster
      Fernandez
      Son

  15. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Any chances of Barnes getting benched today?

    1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah

      I can see it happening

    2. internal error

      • 11 Years

      He went off and had an ice pack on his leg. i'm not sure whether that was just for recovery or injury related

    3. Mweene
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      We should find out before the deadline anyway.

  16. ChickenTikkaMoSalah

    Salah to Bruno a good move or too crazy?

    Morning all. Thoughts on this?

    Martinez
    TAA | VVD | Doherty
    Salah | KdB | Son | Martial | Cantwell
    Vardy | Ings

    Button | Connolly | Ngakia | Jack Robinson

      Think you need Jiminez and Fernandes tbh.

      I do like the double-Pool defence though. I will be doing the same after the City game to avoid rotation of the mids.

        Thanks, they could be an easy trade between Vardy and Martial plus £ for defense, thanks

      I get the Vardy appeal though, especially for the next 2 or 3 games.

    Anyone know if Leno is out long term? Thinking of Using Martinez as my only playing keeper to use cash further forward.

      Yep. Leno won’t play this season

    How do I improve upon this wc team please?

    Pope/Button

    TAA, Sais, Lascelles, Holgate, 3.9

    Salah, KDB, Fernandes, Son, Guendozey,

    Ings, Rashford, Jimmi,

    0.0 in bank.

    I quite like it.

      Yes I like it. Obviously bench is thin but at this stage why not.

      1. Jafalad
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers! The front 7 I'd want to play every game so there's no point benching any of them.

    2. Rolls-Royce

      Looks solid. Ideally would have Doherty in there but Saiss is a fine alternative. Any reason for Salah over Mane?

      1. Jafalad
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks Rolls. Doherty is only averaging 4.8 ppg (Boly has same) so I do not see the reason for the extra outlay for him.

        Salah - I guess I have forgotten how good Mane was before the break. I've been playing VPL and Salah was a beast in that game.

    2 days ago i ditched Mahrez and Leno for Pope and Bruno and now suddenly Mahrez is a beast and Burnley have million problems..
