Dugout Discussion – Burnley vs Man City

1,736 Comments
Share

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.

        Didn't see that, did it on my own basis as a punt instead of Mahrez, hopefully he can nab a late winner after coming on for a disappointing Sanchez

    Classic Burnley. Gudmundsson has goals in him, not so much at burnley. Great effort, hopefully Kün goes havoc and wins them the game. Ota > Goalman really tempting now

      I have him, but I think it was a good decision by Jose. He has good alternatives and if Pogba ever thinks he can't be dropped, he won't be playing at 100% every week. Scholes said he was fearful of losing his place throughout all his career, and he became the best CM of all time.
