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.

    2. Dirty Harry

    The Heaton-Robinson combo is looking pretty damn good for me right now

    1. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I know right! Was feeling so bad with Heaton KDB stones not in squad.

    2. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Good for you. I have Grant.

        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

  20. justmatt
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Robinson credited with an assist?

    Would have thought there was no assist as Marney hit it on the volley from a headed clearance?

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      They gave it for the bantz

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Robinson was attempting a shot on target, therefore it is an assist

      1. justmatt
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Fair enough

    3. Lucky_Z
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Last touch form a teammate is considered for assist

  21. M.M.A
    • 9 Years

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

  29. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Heaton owners rue the fact they could have had a assist
