Dugout Discussion – Man City vs Leicester

Saturday’s events conclude at the Etihad Stadium where the champions-elect Manchester City host Leicester City.

Fantasy managers will of course be focused on the home side’s attacking assets, with Sergio Aguero backed by 778,000 (13.5%) with the captaincy, including 26 of the top 100 – second only to Mohamed Salah (50).

The Argentine goes into this game with seven goals in his last four home Premier League matches and 10 in his last six in all competitions.

Kevin De Bruyne (3.8%) and Raheem Sterling (2.5%) are also among the top seven captaincy picks for the Gameweek and also boast exceptional records on home turf. De Bruyne has scored 33 points from his previous four, while Sterling has produced 37.

The City defence has been less productive, with just one clean sheet from their last five Gameweeks. Nicolas Otamendi – the top owned defender in the game (31.3%), starts his 15th successive match in all competitions today.

Leicester will be buoyed by City’s defensive record. They recall Riyad Mahrez to the bench after his recent absence following City’s deadline day bid. That leaves Jamie Vardy as perhaps their most likely source of Fantasy returns – he boasts goals in each of his last three Gameweeks.

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

    As a Kane captainer and an Aguero non-owner, today was bad.

    Aguerooooooooooooo Mi Capitano 🙂

    I understand how many of you guys may feel pressured to sub out kun for kane but before you do, here's my 2 cents.

    Kun scoring a hatty shows how explosive he is. His quality is beyond measure and he can score despite how tough a fixture may be.

    Subbing him out just because he has Arsenal up next is foolhardy as Arsenal's defense is not even impregnable.

    For me personally, I would much rather sub out otamendi for trippier as I think I'd get more points from that move, or Sterling to Son. Otherwise, just save that transfer or spend it on some place else more pressing.

        Four. He got four.

          haha, my bad.

          Should have probably remembered he got 4, like how i had 4 beers myself (;

          1. MTPockets
              6 years, 2 months ago

              Just kidding. Not sure on the switch (have both anyway), but generally a good idea to keep players going for the golden boot.

              1. Cry Me A River
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 2 months ago

                Yeap. That added incentive would spur (no pun intended) to do their best.

          Jesus is back soon tho

          1. Cry Me A River
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            only fools would bench a player who just scored 4 in a game. If anyth only sub in jesus if aguero fails to perform.

        3. Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          The way I see it, the more that transfer out Aguero the better. Jesus isn't going to jump right back into the XI.

          1. Cry Me A River
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Yup, hoping more transfer him out so that they can drown in their tears of regret soon after.

          Yep Oto out for me. Keeping Sterling and Kun for now.

          everyone needs to wait.
          2 City games before next deadline and then there's still a Cup Final before City play another league game.

        As an Aguero captainer will probably still sell for Kane.
        The switch Three weeks ago has been great, made money and avoided Kane falls, but time to cement the gains by returning to safety

        Kane 》Kun 3 games ago was the right decision after all 🙂

            Yeah but he was sharp from the start Kun.

              Looks like i will be doing the reverse now.

          *Kane and Kun for the past 10 GW's was the right decision after all

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

            Yes, but not for the past 3 😉

      • PogChamp
        • 12 Years

        Wow!! Huge points from Kun(c). My best single player score since Walcott destroyed Newcastle.

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

          It feels good (GREAT!*), eh...?!? 😀 😀

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

            Yeah feels awesome. Should break top 100k today.

        2. Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Kun(TC) got me 76pts once. But that Walcott haul was beautiful, probably the best normal captain total for me.

          1. Piggs Boson
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            75* ??

            1. Stats Don\'t Lie
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 2 months ago

              Had kun(VC), Sanchez (TC) that week. That alone was 100pts!

            2. PogChamp
              • 12 Years
              6 years, 2 months ago

              Nice. Never got that high from a player. I think Walcott was 54 with captain.

      • Henning
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Hmmm my plan was to get Kane in for Aguero next gw, but now i dont know what ro do?

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Me neither. One possibility might be transferring Sanchez out for Kane. And I still have money in Alonso and Otamendi and Liv defence is interesting (VvD + Robertson). So perhaps even KdB in if I can finance that. But would like to keep Wilson and Niasse for bgw 😉 I am actually quite happy with this kind of problems.

        Ok I need to cling to some positives here, mini league rival just flew in front of me to top the table by about 35 but only has 1 GW31 player currently and no free hit chip. I don't think he is aware of the blank and may end up using his WC for it. I have to hope all this deliberation and planning actually pays off. This round of FA cup fixutres will be key to set the scene.

        Any other non-Aguero owning City fans whose main ML rival gave him the armband in as dark a place as I am?

      • Pariße
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        The worst part about not owning Aguero is I covered him by tripling up on City, but he somehow managed to score 2 unassisted goals (in terms of FPL of course).

      • Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        Otamendi ( might price drop tonight) to Robertson a good option with pool fixtures and no blank?

        1. Albrightondknight

          • 8 Years

          Have 2FT but risk with pool playing tomorrow I suppose.

        2. TallestJohn
          • 7 Years

          I imagine Robertson himself will have at least one blank in the next 4

        Anyone thinking of Doubling up on Spurs assets from next week onwards?

        Thinking of Eriksen.

        Also is it too late to get Kdb in for Haz?

          • 10 Years

          It's never too late to ditch a Chelsea player for a City one my friend.

      • Kanexit 2 - Rough with the Smooth
        diesel001
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Kanexit. Share your tales of joy or woe.

        Mine: GW24 did Kane and Gross to KDB and Firmino. Kane and Gross since GW24 = 39pts. KDB and Firmino = 47pts with Firmino having a game to play. What that ignores is all the extra (c) points I got from Salah and KDB over Kane though. And that is the beauty of Kanexit.

        Now may be the time to get him back in though....

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

          I have Kane and Aguero.

          Mines more of a Kunexit.

          Having both has obviously fudged the balance but as I've said many a time...I regret nothing.

          Plan was to sell Aguero after this game due to Jesus return and fixture pile up. That was the plan...

        2. Darth_Krid
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Didn't get rid of Kane and still got Aguero in without sacrificing too much elsewhere. Pretty happy.

          Also, as a more general Spursexit, I kept Vertonghen through this run of 3 'tough' fixtures and have been rewarded with 2 clean sheets and bonus points in both of them! Ditched Son too which paid off.

        3. Shultan
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          I broke even
          Did kane > kun (no hit)
          12+4+42 =58

          If i left as is would've captained salah last 2GW (he was vice) & kane this week cz london derby
          16+30+11 =58

          1. Shultan
            • 8 Years

            16+30+12 =58

        4. Stats Don\'t Lie
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          3gws ago Kane + Alli > Aguero + Hazard, since then kane + alli = 21pts
          Aguero + hazard = 39pts with hazard still to play

          And this is not including the extra captaincy points!

        5. Jigger & Pony
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          After GW24 did Kane+Alli > Aguero+Salah (had taken Salah out for Spurs DGW). Captained Aguero GW 25-27. Kane+Alli got 21 points. Aguero+Salah got 52 points with Salah to play this week. With captain (assuming I would have captained Kane if I held on as did not own Salah), it’s 33 vs 81 with Salah yet to play this GW.

          1. Jigger & Pony
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            After Salah playing last evening, it’s Kane + Alli 21 Points vs Aguero + Salah 65 Points without captaincy. With captaincy, it’s 33 vs 94.

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

          I did the original Kanexit (GW18-21 due to Man City and blank, he just happened to score hat-tricks in the other 2).

          This meant there was no question of missing out on any more hauls, got him straight back in GW22. Wanted one of KDB or Aguero as well but couldn't afford them, never considered getting them instead of Kane.

          Don't feel dreadful as the rest of my team has been good and I've risen back up to my best rank of the season (82k). At least KDB will probably be in my wildcard team.

          Rough: First time in 27 GWs I have stopped low enough to convince my Nemesis to take a "faulty" move (-8 brining in Kun) which superbly backfired.

          Why is my Nemesis so freaking perfect, he could trip up and still land face first into a Blondie's cleavage.

        8. Clifford☯
          • 7 Years

          Did Kane to Kun in GW25. Ended up 13 points better off.

        9. kenzo.
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Kanexit Part 1.... GW18...

          Kane - 1 17 17.... 35 points
          Aguero - 16 2 1... 19 points

          Used the cash to get Alonso in so that kinda worked out

          Kanexit Part 2... GW25....

          Kane - 8 2 4 6 = 20 points
          Aguero - 17 6 2 21 = 45 points

          Most probably back to Kane this week

        10. Rover
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          I got Firmino instead of Kane as part of Kanexit 1, which went not too badly, with all intentions of getting Kane for DGW.

          Kanexit 2 was slightly different for me as I opted for Kun instead of Kane as my Morata replacement ahead of the DGW, which has been amazing so far. Only problem: I didn't captain Aguero.

          Kane in next GW was always on the cards. Now I'm just trying to figure out how without losing Aguero.

        11. umerlfc
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          GW24 did Kane + RLC -> Aguero + Shaqiri and saw it as a calculated risk
          It worked out quite well. Captained Aguero for his first hatrick but missed out on this one and hopefully Hazard(c) at least gets a double figure haul

          I did the even more original of Kanexit when his first game was Liverpool - it kind of did ok as I got Morata in and Kane was even ruled out of united, so I counted it as a success.

          Second one was when he got his hat tricks to not so much

          Did Firmino and DCL to Kun answer Quaner. Kept Kane.

          Captained Kun 3 times & Kane at Burnley & DGW.

          Only Kun last week was wrong choice. Would always have Captained Kane DGW.

          Didn't have Kane but will definitely be bringing him back next week. Captained #kunbeast and sitting on 73 with Salah, Firmino, Alonso and DDG to play. Going into the break with 2 FT and can't complain at all.

        So nice having somewhat of a liability like Hazard in your team.

        Kane Aguero Wilson front line here I come!

        Had a poor season thus far, dont have Aguero. Have Milo & Ogbonna sitting on my bench. Positive at least ive got KDB and Niasse points.

        The Kun non-captainer points did not hurt me in the ML much.

        Had Shaq and Milli.

        The guys who captained did fly 20-25 points past me.

        You've got to feel for us Kun captainers. Bound to at least see a slight red after Salah plays tomorrow.

        Lingard was the going out for gw28, but suddenly feeling like I need to use my WC. Probably kneejerking right now, though.

        Current team:
        Fab, Elliot
        Azpi*, Ota*, Duffy, Ogbonna, Mee
        Salah, Sterling, Son*, Mili, Lingard*
        Kane, Firmino, Wilson

          Probably not enough to wildcard, especially if you have 2FT.

          If you do it then change Elliot, Duffy and Ogbonna as well but 8 of your squad are good picks.

        Vardy and Sterling out for Kane and a 5.2 mid?

          nope.
