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.

    Haaland with 7.9 million owners.

    2.2 million without him.

    majority of the game pretty engaged at the moment.

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Most capped player in FPL history I think this week?

      1. InsertPunHere
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Yup

      2. Zilla
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        In numbers not percentage afaik

      3. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        And I’m still against the crowd, proud to be strong

      4. Kellz86
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        I have Haaland but went KANE cap

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah we’re laughing mate, great shout

    2. InsertPunHere
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Genuinely don’t understand how he hasn’t reached 100% yet.

    3. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      2.1999 million are dead teams. The 1 that isn't is Mark.

    4. Kane and Ablett
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      And he’s still only 11.9… these prices aren’t elastic enough

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        A-level economics right there

  4. Arn De Gothia
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    thats it, WC with Haaland perma C KdB , Cancelo & autofill

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

    Bye bye Mo for now- hello Mitro and sterling.

    Hauland a permapick

  6. They are eating the dogs
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Cmon Pep. I know you can do it! He will get injured if you don't do it. 😉

    1. Randaxus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I prefer people like you, people can just laugh about it, they don't need to cry about Salah not scoring points.

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        You my friend are insufferably obnoxious

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

        is Randaxus the FF, non supporting Liverpool, alter ego?

  7. Randaxus
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Salah is not the obvious captain in the form that he is in, failure to notice this has lost people a lot of points.

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      For the love of God give it a rest

      1. Randaxus
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        The truth is the truth, Sterling is a better pick than Salah.

    2. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Is this a Foo Fighter 2nd account?

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

        it could be.

        Probably the one up voting him.

        What happend to my name is Q?

        1. TheBiffas
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          I think he's had about 12 different usernames since

        2. Herger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Perma-banned I think (I probably will be for revealing that 😆 )

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

            but why?

            Just too much

    3. A. PRISE
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      No such thing mate. Salah hit the bar. if he hadn't you wouldn't be writing this now.

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

    Useless Jacob Ramsey

  9. AC/DC AFC

    Can you get a red card in the FA Cup for pissing in a hedge?

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Normally only a yellow, but red if you helicopter afterwards

      1. AC/DC AFC

        • 10 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        ha ha ha

        As long as it's not during the game is what I thought

  10. Je suis le chat
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Can see Haaland passing Jesus for ownership tomorrow and cruising to 85% ownership.

  11. faux_C
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Too kneejerk to think about selling Gundo after 2 gws?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yep sell him . I am owner too will go probably for Diaz. Other options are Sterling and Bruno

  12. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    KDB assist . Mark knows

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Obsessed much!

    2. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      How though? How did he know KDB might get an assist? Is it something he’s learned or he’s just naturally a genius? Some content for your YouTube channel

      1. Zimo
        • 7 Years

    REJOICE! 60MINS!

    1. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Too soon!

        1. Zenith UK
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          I was referring to Haaland, that's two extra points 😀

      2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Poor Zenith feels like they've forgotten what it feels like for a player to get to 60mins, look what you did Jurgen!

        1. Zenith UK
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Just pocketed another two for Haaland, YAY!

  15. Fabreghastly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Foden will not take the ball down the line

    Causing problems passing back every time

  16. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Haaland has scored more goals than 14 PL teams this season

  17. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Haaland back pain?

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years

      Stop it

    3 - Haaland, De Bruyne (31)
    1 - Stones (27)

    Dias (25)
    Cancelo (21)
    Ederson (19)
    Walker (19)
    Foden (13)

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      No BP for Gundo?

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        He has been poor

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Complete them passes, Joao, FFS!

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Stones is the new Cancelo!

  19. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Come on Gundoooo

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I love you Daniel

  20. Das Boot
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    How many would Kane score at City?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Next weekend? Maybe 1.

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years

      Brace

    3. InsertPunHere
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Approximately 37.8 million

    4. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Like 5

    5. Royal5
      • 14 Years

      2

      1. Das Boot
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        hahaha. I’ll re-phrase that. If Kane was up top playing for City, would he have been anywhere near 10 goals by this stage?

  21. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    How has Cancelo been guys?

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Not worth the price tag

  22. MrJobby
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    The may seem a stupid question to some but I’ve never had to or needed to do this but I’ve made 2 transfers for game week 7 and regretting them and cost me 4 points . If I activate my free hit now will I still be deducted those -4 ?

    1. InsertPunHere
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Don’t think so. Also, hits are not the end of the world!

    2. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      No, y

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        You won't suffer a hit

    3. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      What did you do?

  23. Kane and Ablett
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Haaland made 60 minutes and currently on 3 bps to match Kane

  24. Sparkys Barmy Army
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    1. TAA, Diaz > Cancelo, 8.5
    2. TAA, Diaz,Jesus>Dalot,KDB,Toney

    1. InsertPunHere
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      There are no 8.5 mids. Keep Trent and Diaz!

  25. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Haaland flying at everything 😆

  26. Ginkapo FPL
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Time to sell Haaland, lost his touch

  27. Manani
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    which move below, if I will WC GW9?

    A. Cucu > Dunk
    B. Cucu + Archer > Neco + Mitrovic

    1. Manani
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      (B will be -4 btw)

      1. InsertPunHere
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Oh. Probably A then.

    2. InsertPunHere
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      B if it’s free

  28. Eat my goal!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    Dropped about 10k during this game with cancelo and haaland cap!

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I feel for you

    2. Totalfootball
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      How??

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Because there’s enough KDB Walker and Ederson owners to create a negative impact

  29. Totalfootball
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Haaland denied

  30. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Thoughts on these options?
    Gonna WC during IB.

    1. Perisic out, keep Robo and possibly take another price drop

    2. Robo out, keep Perisic

    3. Take a hit e.g. Robo Archer to Mitro Estupinan

    1. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Not sure about taking a hit two weeks before WC?
