Dugout Discussion – Burnley vs Man City

The Gameweek begins under the rain at Turf Moor, as Burnley host champions-elect Manchester City.

For Fantasy managers, this immediately puts key assets and – for many – the Gameweek captain – under scrutiny.

Sergio Aguero takes on the Clarets on the back of a six-point return in midweek and a 17-point blast against Newcastle last weekend.

The Argentine has boosted his ownership by 295,000 managers ahead of the early kick-off, having scored both City goals in the corresponding fixture last season.

Kevin De Bruyne was rested in that match but starts today as he bids to extend his compelling form that has delivered a goal and five assists in his last six Gameweeks. However, he has produced just a single goal and assist in his last six on the road.

Raheem Sterling’s away record – with two goals and three assists in that same six-match spell – is stronger, though he boasts just a single goal in his last five Gameweeks.

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

    Could be hearsay but...

    "Marcos Rojo, Luke Shaw and Juan Mata are expected to start for United today at the expense of Phil Jones, Marcos Rojo and Anthony Martial, who was worse on the left than on the right at Tottenham. The upside of his predictable performance is there may be no ‘Martial FC’ nonsense from the millennials today.

    Of course, the headline selection would be Pogba’s possible demotion. The very possibility of that does feel a little drastic."

    Ederson is ever so calm under pressure

    Matter and antimatter, these two approaches.

    Burnley putting good pressure on the city defence when they’re on the ball

    Why did I captain KDB??

    1. Lets Talk About 19 Baby
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I captained De Bruyne, i needed to try some different.
      My overall rank is Pathetic

    2. Delph & Safety
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Assist of the assist, more goals to come.

  14. JogaSemmedo
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Could do with a Burnley goal to really fire up City and Kun to get going!

  15. Sim Simma

    Gundogan close

  16. Salarrivederci

  19. potatoace

    Got to say, Bilva is getting a lot of the ball this game.

  20. Patch
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Chilwell, Sanchez, Sturridge, Ozil

    I need these guys to fail.

    I am almost willing to sacrifice any of my players as long as Sturridge fails.

    If Sturridge blanks I will donate £2 to charity next time I pop by the church
