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.

    I remember when this site didn't have all the lolling at other players failing. It was much more relaxed and people actually supported each other a bit.

      they usually have no grav.. just try scanning past them

      Me too - it feels less of a community now. Too much trolling and people overreacting and shouting at each other.

    Love Aguero for trapping so many people with the jammiest hat-trick of the season 😀

        Falling for bringing in the second best striker in the prem. Should focus on hazard owners pal

          Anyone who did KanExit before Newcastle and captained him fair play you’re well up.

          Anyone who did it after has dropped a clanger.

          The Hazard owner’s are masochista, beyond help 😉

    2. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I can't believe how much money the top teams waste on avg centre backs who buckle under pressure from very few attacks. City and Liverpool being the biggest culprits.

      They could easily cherry pick the best of the championship CB's and you'd never know the difference.

    3. Pooodle

      I ditched him for Daniels this week to free up Sanchez funds. City have some hard short term fixtures.

    tldr, went Allen instead.

        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        you could see my posts 3 days ago under my profile.

        i was practically recommending Gudmundsson to people who wanted to bring Shaq in.

        shucks!

    So I’m the only person in any of my mini leagues with Sanchez and I’ve also captained him.

    This could be a genius differential move or an absolute disaster.

    Thankfully Aguero blanking has removed some of the pressure as a lot in my mini leagues captained him.

    1. STEP rOVERS

      Same but with Hazard

      1. Pooodle
        • 14 Years

        Hazard was who I took out for Sanchez in a rage after bringing him in last week ahead of KDB!

          • 6 Years

          Kevin is a keeper. Could of got hatfull again today. Sanchez got point to prove imo and will come out all guns blazing.

          Hazard is a 2 week punt before I swap to Sanchez

          Best of luck for 3pms

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

            Yeah KDB is definitely one I’m eyeing up. Only had him for those bad first few weeks this season so need to get some points from him at some stage!

        • 14 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks mate - as a United fan I’m pretty excited about him, but also seemed a great captain choice against a promoted side today and with hardly any ownership. Huge upside.

  27. Pacer.

    These are heady time to be a Kane capper. With a lot of managers playing one of Kane/Aguero double figures will be a killer

    doucoure/mcarthur off the bench today for stones/Jones

    Fancy a MacArthur return

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I own both and had a strangley low confidence in Aguero and 10 mins before deadline was tempted to switch to Kane. Didn't. 🙁

  28. rnrd
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    For those fearing aguero could be rotated vs Leicester and prior to Basel on Tuesday, I reallly don’r think a manager would take the risk to:
    - bench his only 9 as strikers definitely need confidence
    - risk a new team set up so close to a UCL game

  29. T444

    He has jones chilwell and pogba. I'm happy about this. Best advice in the world. Roll the transfer
