Sergio Aguero (£11.4m) was named in the Manchester City starting line-up ahead of a 3 pm kick-off against Brighton and Hove Albion.

The Argentinian striker is by far the most popular captain choice for Gameweek 7 so it will be a relief for his 52.8% ownership to see him on the team sheet.

How many minutes he will manage to rack up may depend on how the match is going, considering that Pep Guardiola has hooked him off around the hour-mark twice recently.

Meanwhile, both David Silva (£8.6m) and Bernardo Silva (£7.6m) have been named in the line-up too while Aymeric Laporte (£5.6m) makes his seventh successive league start of the campaign.

Jurgen Locadia (£5.4m) leads the Brighton line with Glenn Murray (£6.5m) on the bench.

Alexandre Lacazette (£9.5m) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.8m) start up front together for Arsenal while Sokratis Papastathopoulous (5.3m) not fit enough for a place on the bench. Rob Holding (£4.4m) comes in for him, while Henrikh Mkhitaryan (£7.0m) is among the substitutes again.

Just one change for Watford as Marc Navarro (£4.3m) comes in for the injured Daryl Janmaat (£5.0m).

There will plenty of interest in happenings at Goodison Park this afternoon as both Richarlison (£6.7m) and Aleksandar Mitrovic (£7.0m) go head-to-head for Everton and Fulham.

Spurs have switched to a back-three for their trip to Huddersfield with Kieran Trippier (£6.1m) and Harry Kane (£12.4m) hoping to benefit from the system change.

It looks like Kenedy (£4.9m) could be playing at left-back for Newcastle today although we will see once the match has kicked off. DeAndre Yedlin (£4.5m) has overcome doubts over his fitness to start the match at right-back.

Ricardo Pereira (£5.1m) returns to the Leicester side, but in a more advanced position than his previous berth of right-back. He has been deployed in attacking midfield.

    1. COLLIN QUANER
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Original. Straight from the following price changes Twitter

    2. Cofinho

      thats sure a lot of people..

  11. windowview
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Oh dear, not getting Kane is going to prove a huge and costly mistake...

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Jesus it’s only 2 goals, not exactly set the world alight has he previously, chill

      1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        This

    2. Sif
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Relax, doesn't play Hudds every week.

      1. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        ...yeah, but he plays Cardiff next week

      2. BbBb
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        But Cardiff at home next week in a gw where he's def the best c option

      3. Cilly Bonnolly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah but he plays Cardiff next week. If he scores a couple there my plan to get him in for two weeks will have worked out nicely.

    3. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Well that all depends on who you would have had to get rid of and the following weeks. It’s not a one week game and presumably would require 2 transfers the week after next to ditch him.

      1. Pep says
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Wh said anything about ditching him? Aguerro can be the route to Salah just as easy

  12. Klein
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Kun sub after ht to put iceing on the cake

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

      If only they did this when Yaya was about.

      1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Hahahaha

  13. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    If aguero doesn’t score man...

    1. Khark
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      He’s not gonna, can feel it

    2. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      He won't score

    3. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Won't really hurt much. A lot of managers ( every 9/10 ) have Captained him

      1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        This. Especially if you’re not a middling player and in the top 10k - 83% of the top 10k have captained Kun.

  14. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Duffy YC Zanka YC

    Sessegnon hits the bar.

  15. Totalfootball
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Feel like crying
    Kaneee 🙁
    He always does this .

    1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Does he? There’s a reason hardly anybody owns him. He’s scored 2 today but for the money he costs you can have upgrades to others that provide more points.

      1. Pep says
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        He's owned by 27% overall. Hardly low ownership. Low in the top 10k due to Aguerro, Salah, Haz and Mane ownerships, Kane's August woes meant no seasoned players not many seasoned players were going to start with him and upto now they've been right.

        Huddersfield have shipped alot I'd goals this season though.

        1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          With all due respect Pep, who cares about people outside the top 10k? That’s not a humble brag either because top 10k should be everybody’s focus. There are so many casuals and ghost teams who on the back of England’s World Cup and sweeping patriotism all picked England players. It’s all about the top 10k.

  16. Business Cat
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Sessegnon hits the bar

    1. Sim Simma

  17. LosBlancos
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    2. Khark
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I have Kane went Aguero and I’m so annoyed with myself I had the C on them both about 50 times. Gut said Kane but followed this website like a sheep

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

      You have Kane. Most don't.

  18. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Very foolish yc by Bamba,the last thing Hudds need now is to go down to 10 men.

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Bamba plays for Cardiff?

      1. Ógie

  22. SADIO SANÉ
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Ah, Kun (c) & Salah -> Kane (c) & Sterling would have been big so far, he who dares wins (sometimes)

  23. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Kun captain fail 🙂

    1. BadgersBoys
      • 12 Years

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        He will be on 59 mins 😉

  24. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    15 minutes hope in second half to Kun score before he goes out

  25. COLLIN QUANER
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    I captained Kun and my rival captained Maddison. I laughed when I saw it earlier. Now I'm starting to worry. Luckily he doesn't own Kane.

  26. Over Midwicket
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Kun out. Laters.

  27. SirStevieG
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Aguero has only scored in 2/7 games. Kane is starting to look like the superior pick now.

  28. La Roja
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Cech hammy
