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.

    1. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Almost everyone has 2/3 City players. Same boat for most.

      Captaincy going to make the difference though

      1. Pranav Santhosh
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        yeah worried about Kane and salah captainers. Hopefully neither of them get more than 10 points

        Not true ... 1 is enough

  9. Deano
    • 11 Years

    KDB desperately needs a rest.

  10. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

  11. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    The Burnley wall should always be taken seriously

    1. rnrd
      • 9 Years

    2. yakirh
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Only Kane can do it

  12. Rainer

      • 11 Years

    It’s been several quite bad performances by sterling lately.
    Game at Liverpool was as bad as today

  17. Zenith UK

    Why do I trust KdB so much (c). What a waste. I should've dropped Ota too. His price is surely gonna fall soon!

  18. Railwayman
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Yeeeessssssssss Kun, KDB and Sterling captain fails, great start this week.

    Aguero that was a diabolical performance. What a turd.

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Exactly. I should have gone with Vardy. For some reason I didn't quite fancy Aguero, but went with the crowd...

      1. SirStevieG
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        I wanted to go Wilson but pussied out.

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          It was a hit to bring Jones in! And I have no one to replace him on my bench! Yeah, I’m that good mate 🙂

  22. GreenArrows
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Don’t own Aguero, hoping Salah (C) can improve my 120K OR. Been around there for weeks now

        City notes from the game!

        Edison was class
        Kompany looks off the pace
        KDB is the star player still
        Sterling is back!
        Gundogan wastes most attacks
        Bernardo is the wrong Silva
        Kun is slow and poor

        1. JJO
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Ofcourse he was class
          He invented the light bulb

          1. Hairy Potter
            • 9 Years

            Joseph Swan

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

        Kun's luck has run dry

      4. Sim Simma

        How the heck did Lowton lose his place to Bardsley? At 4.3 he would be a shoe in!
