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.

        Madness. I would rather remove Salah and have BOTH Kane and kun

        PS : don't have Salah

        1. Karan_G14
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Prefer Salah over both of them.

          1. SADIO SANÉ

        Me unless u plan to wc in gw9 .Have u seen spurs fixtures after cardiff .Looks very difficult.May get vardy vs leaky everton though

        1. Karan_G14
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Agree with the fixtures point. Seems a short term transfer.

          1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Its not even short term its a 1 fixture transfer.West ham away is difficult.Maybe should have done before this gw but its only hindsight

      5. LSK
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Mulling it over. Would need to downgrade Moura to Knockaert to afford it.

      6. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Reconvene after GW9 to do the reverse?

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

      Not watching the Everton game...how has Richa looked?

      1. Marcos Alonso is god
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Has air holes in his leg now apparently

    10. Zilla
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Average with BPS;

      Overall: 16.1
      Top 10k: 15.0

      1. Texas Pete
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Me; 6.

    11. Ógie

      Tripps cs was in mortal danger there.

    12. Winners900
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Leno set and forget?

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

      Depoitre 😮

      Lovely volley hits the bar, bounces the wrong side of the line.

    14. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Uh oh... 29 pt minileague lead but chaser captained Kane

    15. Rash
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Some serious rank killing players getting points so far with Arnie Kane vardy.

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

        Wait till Alonso and Robertson join the party .

        1. Rash
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          I own them so hoping for double digits from both!

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

        But isn’t that the way fpl works? Like, if you don’t own the players that score, then rank goes down? 🙂

    16. LIARS POKER
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Kun owner but apart from that hat trick really hasn't justified his price tag this season

      2, 20, 2, 6, 7, 6 so far

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Sad truth...

      2. UpAndAway
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Agree. Shipping for Kane.

      3. fr3d
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Most overhyped player so far this season

      4. Elfozzie 42
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Hang on, the top scoring attacker in the game and joint third overall (before this week) who's scored 4 goals and 4 assists in 6 matches (despite being taken off early in 4 of them) 'hasn't really justified his pricetag'? What are you looking for exactly?

      5. Dyballer
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        And a lot of people (me included) got him AFTER the 20pt haul 🙁 it still made sense at the time due to easy fixtures, but the points don’t reflect that at all. Best value forward frontline rn may be Mitro, Vardy and Arnie. The premiums aren’t doing anything special. Kane is just having a Kun vs Huddersfield moment, but idk if he’s even worth it long term. Defo not if left uncaptained

      6. Eden Wizard
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Hahahaaaaa

        So top scoring attacker isn’t good value?

    17. Woy_is_back
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Lucky Trippier owners

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

        More tears please...

      2. Kellz86
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I mean not an owner here but why lucky?

      3. Eden Wizard
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Not really (non owner)

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

      Leno - welcome to my team

    19. Emiliano Sala

      3. Zilla
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Aguero was 1 point this time during that Leicester game.

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

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

    21. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      FFS Moura

    22. Rash

    23. Zoostation
      • 11 Years

        1. TAT
