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.

    2. mdm

  14. PartyTime
    • 4 Years

  15. pundit of punts

    Someone tell me if I should be happy or sad?

    1. pstokes2010
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I’m the same. I think it’s a green arrow.

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

        I also think this is a minor green. But not 100% sure.

    2. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Sad

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

        You're right, I should have capped Toney

    3. Dannyb
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      If KDB gets a goal here it's quids in.

    4. Totalfootball
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Happy

    5. InsertPunHere
      • 3 Years

    6. sulldaddy
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Also dont own Salah.

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

        Would be impressive to own all 3

  20. Vazza
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Hall breaks loose.

    1. Vazza
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      This is really going to upset Andy. Hope he is okay.

      1. Josh.E
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

  21. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years

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

      So you've got Salah, KDB, Kane and Haaland?

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

        No I want to buy him but feel he needs more returns to force my hand

  22. Fish up a tree
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Salah cappers knee deep in mud again

    1. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      NightCrawler found in the mud

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

    It's tribe wars when it comes down to captaincy isn't it. Just a game people.

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

      I like to rile people up sometimes. It's funny how serious some people take fpl.

      1. 272MK
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Haha. Instigate them bro. Pour some fuel into the fire!

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

    May only be a Haaland 6 pointer if it stays like this.

    1. InsertPunHere
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Bps?

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

    Does Foden ever close his mouth?

  26. dshv
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Will find a salah replacement

    1. InsertPunHere
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      De Bruyne

  27. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Great thing about Haaland is he gets 3 bonus too usually when he scores, doesn't get many deductions for dispossessions

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

      Same as Kane

    2. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Who is right Rainer or Sun

    3. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      It would be nice to see stats how often fwd get 3BAPs if game ends 1-0 and assist has not been from a defender. +20bps from a goal plus winning goal bps gets you far.

  28. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Chilwell 119min 1+2.

  29. Randaxus
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    All hail the dumb casual player like me who picked Haaland.

    1. Randaxus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      xmins does not equal points

  30. Kane and Ablett
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Has Haaland been dubbed off yet? Or is he still racking up the points and shoving his blonde pony tail in the face of the Salah captainers?
