Raheem Sterling (£11.5m), Phil Foden (£6.5m) and Sergio Aguero (£10.3m) are named on the bench as Manchester City visit Tottenham Hotspur.

The Englishman was dealing with a calf injury during the international break, so his lack of involvement in the starting XI is less damaging to Fantasy Premier League managers than it usually would be.

Ferran Torres (£6.9m) and Riyad Mahrez (£8.2m) are handed the wide-forward roles in Pep Guardiola’s 4-3-3 system, either side of Gabriel Jesus (£9.3m), who has scored in both of his Premier League starts this season.

However, his days as a reliable asset may already be coming to a close, considering Aguero’s return to full fitness.

The Argentinian has been missing since the Gameweek 6 draw at West Ham and, named on the bench tonight, is sure to complicate predictions of Manchester City line-ups once more.

There has been rekindled interest in Guardiola’s defence in recent weeks, João Cancelo (£5.5m) and Ruben Dias (£5.5m) at the heart of that – both of them starting in Gameweek 9.

There will be plenty of eyes on the Spurs line-up too, of course, as Harry Kane (£11.0m) and Son Heung-min (£9.5m) remain hugely popular Fantasy assets, and both start for Jose Mourinho’s side.

In fact, only Bruno Fernandes (£10.7m) has been captained by more top 10k managers than Kane.

Tottenham Hotspur XI (4-2-3-1): Lloris; Reguilón, Dier, Alderweireld, Aurier; Højbjerg, Sissoko; Son, Ndombele, Bergwijn; Kane.

Manchester City XI (4-3-3): Ederson; Cancelo, Laporte, Dias, Walker; De Bruyne, Rodrigo, B Silva; Torres, Jesus, Mahrez.

      If Bruno scores more than 20 you are good

      1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        He's my captain

    Not impressed at all by City so far this season. I like the look of Jimenez > Kun next week, but I'm not going to be ripping up my team to get KDB or Raz on this evidence.

    1. Clintymints
      • 17 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I think they need a fit Aguero to get back in their stride

  5. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Kane yc

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Fck

  6. Hattrick Harry
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Kane yc even better

  7. TRIPOS TOPPER
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    I think people on here are confusing City with the team that scores 100 points a few years back

    the one with a fit Aguero, Silva etc.

    this City team is nowhere near

    1. Chirsbom
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      This.

    2. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      This.

      Someone speaking sense at last.

    3. Clintymints
      • 17 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      For sure. no Kun, no party. Jesus not good enough

    4. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah Fernandinho and Silva were the two most crucial cogs imo. Big misses in the engine room.

  8. Flair
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Kane to Vardy (C) hmm

    1. Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      For a hit... hmmm

  9. Superflymonk
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    ManCity 19 shots 4 on target. Tottenham 4 shots 2 on target. Tottenham 2-0 Mancity. Stats don't always tell the truth.

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      What’s the truth? City a far better side can’t breakdown 10 at the back. Spurs have been super solid.

      1. Superflymonk
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Meant if you have bben firing 19 times at goal surely one has to sneek in at some point. The city of old would have anyway

    2. Pukki Party
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      2-0 is the truth

    3. Chirsbom
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      City conversion rate versus Spurs. LOL

    4. Dennis System
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Stats: 2 goals vs zero

    5. Noisy Neighbour
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Those stats tell me City can’t shoot straight, therefore deserved to lose.

  10. Gobigorgohome
    • 14 Years

    Kane YC

    Ferran Torres done anything in the second half?

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Too busy midweek

  16. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Ah Harry!

  17. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    What a save Lloris

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Ok it was right at him but still...

  18. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    So, what about a Ivan brace like in the old days.

  19. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Two whole weeks of change Son and Kane because of fixtures...

    How many did?

    1. Flair
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Everyone on WC probably

    2. Clintymints
      • 17 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Kept both. But like many wanted Son > Kdb next week.

      Not sure now, also .2 short after ghost rises

    3. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I sold Son (for Bruno), and I still don't regret it yet

  20. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Diaz close

  21. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Dias should have scored head it directly at Lloris

  22. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    What a save!

  23. Champions League Varane
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Why would we get rid of Son for KDB/Sterling ?

    Hmmm

    1. Clintymints
      • 17 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      KdB doing well, just lacking the final bit of finesse from the players around him to score

  24. Party time
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Not too late for a red card

  25. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Form over fixtures. Sterling and KDB showing no reason to bring them in

    1. Bojam
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Totally agree. Flickers from KDB this season. Nada from Sterling. All the talk of jumping ship from Spurs to City to get ahead of the curve looks a bit silly now. Hindsight helps but never seemed like a sensible move to me given how well Son and Kane have delivered so far.

  26. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Hang in there spurs. Need that cleanie.

  27. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Lloris 10 pinter

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      lager?

      1. Utopsis
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Proper bender, that

      • 16 Years
