And so it begins. Gameweek 13 gains momentum with an early kick-off at Turf Moor as Manchester City drop in on Burnley.

The build-up to this match was laced with uncertainty and the teamsheets reflect that, although perhaps not in the way we envisaged.

Sergio Aguero starts for City but Pep Guardiola builds his notoriety among Fantasy Football managers by leaving Kevin De Bruyne on his bench and omitting both Ilkay Gundogan and John Stones from the squad. Yaya Toure’s start in midfield was at least expected and, with David Silva also benched, the Ivorian looks set to be deployed in the number ten role.

Burnley also spring an unpleasant surprise with their selection, as the “essential” Tom Heaton misses out with a calf injury. Veteran Paul Robinson starts between the sticks and is charged with repelling Aguero and the City attack.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Just thinking,
    "If" Klopps plan was to start Sterling, to cover the Lallana absence, surely that means Origi comes in?
    Otherwise the weeks training and planning would be ruined

    1. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      100% sure Sterling isn't going to stat.

    2. John t penguin
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Sterling

    3. Ziro
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Sterling?

    4. dark91
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      No Sterling is starting for sure as soon as he is done with the Man City game

    1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah but george boyds one was a cleaner strike and with his left foot.
