Aston Villa v Manchester City brings to an end a roller-coaster day of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) action.

Kick-off at Villa Park is at 17:30 BST.

There is just one change apiece for the two sides playing this evening.

Douglas Luiz replaces Emiliano Buendia for Villa, who look to be packing the midfield in preparation for their free-scoring visitors.

New signing Jan Bednarek is on the bench but Leander Dendoncker, who had a sore throat as of Friday, isn’t part of the squad.

Pep Guardiola’s solitary alteration unsurprisingly sees Kevin De Bruyne return to the starting line-up, with Julian Alvarez dropping to the bench.

Jack Grealish and Nathan Ake are fit enough to be substitutes for the visitors.

All of that means another appearance for Erling Haaland, one of six City players to start all six of their league matches so far in 2022/23.

Haaland comes into this fixture off the back of two successive 17-point hauls and was transferred in by a further 834,616 FPL teams ahead of Gameweek 6, pushing his ownership past the 75% mark.

He was by some distance the most-captained player of the week, too, with almost 5.4 million managers handing him the armband.

GAMEWEEK 6 LINE-UPS

Aston Villa XI: Martinez, Digne, Mings, Konsa, Cash, Ramsey, Kamara, McGinn, Luiz, Watkins, Bailey.

Subs: Olsen, Chambers, Augustinsson, Young, Bednarek, Coutinho, Buendia, Ings, Archer.

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Cancelo, Stones, Dias, Walker, Gundogan, Rodri, Silva, Foden, De Bruyne, Haaland.

Subs: Ortega, Wilson-Esbrand, Lewis, Ake, Gomez, Grealish, Palmer, Alvarez, Mahrez.

      1. estheblessed

  11. AC/DC AFC

    3 years, 6 months ago

    Martinez injured for Villa

  12. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    As a non-Haaland captainer this is definitely bad, Haaland going to play 90 now and probably blast in another

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He's getting a hattrick minimum

  13. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    No way has Bailey just scored after weeks of nothing!

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      6 first half touches too.

      the Haaland way.

  14. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Omg Bailey!

    Big at the back is dead!

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Bailey is explosive

      another big mistake?

  15. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I doubted him at the start of the season but fair play to those who backed Bailey.

    You're reaping the rewards now!

    1. fantasyfog
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      You think people still have him lol

  16. Kannbury
    • 5 Years

  17. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Bailey looking nice at 4.8 as long as he isn't relied on to start every week

    1. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Better than DaSilva, that's fo sho.

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      1. TheBiffas

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years

  18. Royal5
    • 14 Years

    Martinez wasting time.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Why did you bench Bailey?

  21. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Big At The Back, they said.

    Something else beginning with 'B' is more appropriate.

    TAA, Robbo, James, Chilwell, Cancelo etc. etc.

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Big at the Bailey?

    2. Kellz86
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Chillwell scored though

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Template shift!

    4. Drexl Spivey
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Blame.

    5. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Who is they?

  22. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

  23. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Stopped feeling sorry for myself, just gonna laugh at my 3m rank now instead

  24. PogChamp
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Think I'm done with defenders. Might as well play three 4.5s.

    1. Kellz86
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Patterson and Neco then fill with 5’s

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        This

      2. PogChamp
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yes something like that. Probably gunna WC now.

    2. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Thinking same, city tot Chel all concede, pool keep a cs, get a draw, nothing for taa an robbo

  25. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Coutinho some finish. Offside

  26. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Sub Foden for Alvarez already

  27. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Haaland cleanie gone

  28. They are eating the dogs
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    When I don't own City defenders they perform well. When I put 2 in my team they start to concede goals. Walker is really rubish. Hope that Cancelo saves the day with an assist. But hopefully not for Haaland's goal 😀

  29. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Walker subbed for ake

  30. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Yo that's onside
