Saturday’s action concludes at Goodison Park as Everton and Manchester City go head-to-head at 5.30pm.

As expected, Pep Guardiola has taken no chances with Sergio Aguero’s fitness ahead of the midweek Champions League quarter-final first leg against Liverpool.

Sold by a hefty 347,000 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers last week, the Argentine misses out altogether today, with Gabriel Jesus leading the line against a defence that’s mustered just a single clean sheet in their last 11 league matches.

With no Aguero, Kevin De Bruyne is the most captained player in this one, with 2.6% armband backing.

Yet it’s David Silva who has been City’s most prolific player on the road, averaging 7.7 points on his travels.

Guardiola’s men arrive with nine clean sheets away from home – more than any side.

With four goals in his last three league outings, the Toffees’ winter signing Cenk Tosun looks the likeliest to breach that resilient backline.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Don't waken the beast with open goal misses Everton, don't waken it

    Anyone still saying KDB isn't poty is blinded by goals. Hardly see KDB make a bad decision

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      It's a testament to Salah that he is even making this a debate

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      I agree, but at the same time it's hard to see past someone who has got so many goals. Important ones too.

      1. Ghost Gooner
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Just hasn't scored enough vs the big teams for me. Or rescued Liv enough times when chips were down like today

        1. Dr Van Nostrand
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Madness he has 7 goals vs the big clubs and surely the most GWG this season

    3. UshFPL
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      This

    4. Rik Waller
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Goals are pretty good in this sport though

    5. Dacra
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Is blinded by goals a thing? How do you get points again?

      1. Deulofail
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        By scoring more goals than you concede.

    6. TallestJohn
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Hardly see Salah make a bad decision either

      1. @FPL_liverbird (liverpoolfa…
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Haha agree. KDB has been unreal and Salah has definitely taken it from him in the 2nd half of the season

      2. StevePeave
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        He misses a lot of sitters though, although not many recently!

        1. TallestJohn
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          True but the way he creates so many chances for himself and makes it easy for his teammates to find him is just as impressive as the way KDB orchestrates City imo

    7. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Will anyone other than Salah, and maybe Davies get into the PL team of the year ahead of a city player?

    8. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      It's still David Silva IMO. Best player in the prem...no doubt about it.

      Sadly he never gets the recognition he deserves but just use your own eyes.

  3. Rik Waller
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    haha

  4. TooDifficuIt
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    where are you sterling

    1. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Down the back of the couch

  5. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Rival for manager of month cash prize triple captain kdb!!

  6. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Slightly scared with only Ota and dilva from this city team, but better than nothing so far!

  7. Rik Waller
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Pickford OG?

    1. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Rik Waller, you absolute troll. Try again 😆

      1. Rik Waller
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        No consistency at FPL. Virg would agree

  8. HamezMace
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    If everyone’s fit, starting eleven for England in the World Cup?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Heaton
      Walker Stones Maguire
      Trippier Henderson Dier Rose
      Sterling Zaha
      Kane

      1. HamezMace
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Not allowed players from other countries I’m afraid

        1. Deulofail
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          ikr Kane is clearly Korean

      2. Deulofail
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        No Vardy or Wilshere 😮

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          "Fit"

          Wilshere

          1. Deulofail
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            Yeah if fit

          2. HamezMace
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            He’s played more than Heaton will

        2. HamezMace
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          I wouldn’t start Vardy over Kane, or play two up top.
          Wilshere probably would play in he can finish the season well.

      3. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        No Wes Morgan?

        1. HamezMace
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          No JT either

      4. Rik Waller
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Wilshere for Hendo and English guy for African bloke

        1. HamezMace
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Alli?

          1. Rik Waller
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            Yeh probs. Could win some pens

            1. Deulofail
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 9 months ago

              Alli? Nah, he's too weedy in a team that already looks limp. Need either strength or dynamism.

              Vardy, Rashford, Ox, Lingard, Wilshere, and more might be better options

              1. Deulofail
                • 9 Years
                7 years, 9 months ago

                Even Welbeck! 😆

                1. Deulofail
                  • 9 Years
                  7 years, 9 months ago

                  RLC

                2. HamezMace
                  • 11 Years
                  7 years, 9 months ago

                  If welbeck gets in the WC squad I’ll bet £100 we go out in the group stages

          2. StevePeave
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            Lingard so overlooked...

      5. Releasebreaks
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Zaha ivory coast

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          😮

      6. StevePeave
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Too much sideways passing in the midfield for me!

        1. Deulofail
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          You're kidding me?

          1. StevePeave
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            Hendo and dier, nope!

            1. Deulofail
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 9 months ago

              Sorry, I was sure that was a reply to my Wilshere suggestion. I agree with you 🙂

    2. StevePeave
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Pickford
      Walker stones tark young
      Dier ox
      Lingard sterling rashford
      Kane

      1. HamezMace
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Brave team, but I’d actually like to see them try and attack some of the other teams in the group games for sure

        1. Deulofail
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Heaton
          Walker Tarkowski Maguire Young
          Wilshere Dier RLC
          Vardy Kane Sterling

          Bench: Butland Lallana Rashford Trippier Stones

          1. Deulofail
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            Still forgot Lingard, oops

  9. Dacra
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Full time yet?

  10. OneDennisBergkamp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Should I Trip cap Lukaku GW34 and then BB on GW37
    or
    Trip cap Kane GW37 and BB on GW34

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Depends on the team you will have

    2. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      I’d rather TC Kane than Lukaku.

    3. JogaSemmedo
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      I haven't got FH so loaded up on swansea/Newcastle on wC for BB in gw37. Better fixtures then Burnley and likely still to be playing for safety. Considering Lukaku/Mahrez or maybe Sanchez for TC in gw34

  11. Stokelona
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Jesus rising to the challenge this easter

  12. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    I think that's an official template wildcard failure

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      I would have only had Sterling from Man City, so far it's looking ok until he pops up with his hattrick later.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      I have a fairly template WC team. On 38 with Auba/Willain/Son/Alonso to go. Not a failure just yet.

      Plus, I'm pretty prepared for the upcoming gameweeks.

    3. Stokelona
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Smug Sane owner here, need walker and ederson clean sheets though, could be a nervous watch

    4. Maddamotha
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Im on 46 pre baps. Guess thats failure

    5. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      how would templete look now?

  13. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Give that boy his contract, he'll still be paid only one third of what Pogba gets

  14. TAT
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Both of my mini league rivals played their wildcards long ago, but have City cover in Otamendi and KdB respectively. Going without City on my own wildcard looking like a big mistake now.

    1. lugs
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      they will be rotation central after they win the league

      1. TAT
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        One free transfer to get them out, though.

  15. Deulofail

    Gabriel Jesus = Jesus Christ

    Hahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa

  17. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    2 goals and No Sterling, No Kun involvement

    1. jonny77
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Kun not playing

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Would be genuinely impressed with Aguero given he's not even in the squad.

  18. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Nice place for Baines

  19. Rainer

  20. jonny77

  21. Witty Pun: Not good at this…

  22. Sim Simma

    Walker-Peters misses a sitter

  23. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
    • 16 Years

    Chillwell sitting third on the bench weighing it down will 11 points slightly annoying!

    Fair play to those who started him.

  24. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    urm can I be really annoying and ask someone to confirm the teams with DGW in 37?

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers!

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      You can ask, but nothing is confirmed

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        I just wanted to know the teams, doesn't matter about the possible date.

    2. Kai
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Not confirmed yet. Dates are not out.

  25. lordkippe
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    is 34 points with Mustafi, Mkhitaryian, Son & Auba (C) really bad ?

    1. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
      • 15 Years

      Really really bad

    2. Rainer

    3. Epic Fail

  26. Sim Simma

    Ignoring City assets on the WC was a big mistake.

    1. Dacra

      It'll be fine..

  28. Dacra

    I ended up captaining Sanchez, despite but also thanks to FFS support. Great stuff.
