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.

    Captaining Doherty over Aguero's not looking bad now

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Did you actually?

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

        Sure did. I figured Kun would be on for a maximum 8 points and Doherty has good potential to outdo that, so might as well roll the dice

        1. #FPLBhuna
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Rate that good luck

          Ive got him too but brought in and captained kane instead

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

            Thanks, and nice one bringing in Kane!

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

    On a no Kun/Kane vibe. How deep is Moura playing now that Son is back?

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

      That's not rhetorical by the way.

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

      My app shows he's partnering Kane up top

  3. The Overthinker

    Scenes when Chelsea Pool ends up 0-0 🙂

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

      as Alonso and Trent owner, that would be delightful

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

        Alonso and Robertson owner here o/

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

      I'd take that to be honest.

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

      As Alonso and Robertson owner I’d be ok with that

    4. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I would take 6pts from Salah and hazard tbh

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

        Azza,mane ,robbo, Alonso = 20 points

  4. pundit of punts
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Vardy + Sterling 8_)

    Incredible differentials doing the business again! 😀

    1. Rainer

      Making up for Lukaku.

  5. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    Kane only 17.9% EO in the Top10k.

    1. Cok3y5murf

      I have him, but captained Rich 🙁
      Come on Rich, second half brace is needed!

      1. Il Papera
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        If Rich plays on with knee injury

    3. Holmes
      • 12 Years

      goodie, not much damage

        And the rest.

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

    Can't wait for 60 mins for the 15 point boost from Wolves players.

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

      McArthy & Doherty here!

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

    One thing i observed this match is kun drops deep allowing Sane/ sterling to go into the box .....

    1. Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      just in counter attack.
      kun totally a CF at ball possession

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

      But if you otherthink about it, he is allowing himself more touches and you need touches to score, so he's more likely to score.

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

        😀 i likey this

    3. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      And the next time they lay it back to him rather than go across not an issue.

  8. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    And this is the week I stiffen Mitro.

    I can stop anyone scoring. 🙂

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Me too. Least I sold Arnie for him

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

      The secret to this game is to watch my team carefully.

      Then do the exact opposite/

    1. Judeksi
      • 11 Years

      never underestimate the power of KANE

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

        That's what I used to say to the students before I beat them with a snooker cue.

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

          Tbf they did the same back to me with "electrical HAZARD". We had a competative FPL league going.

  10. DROP IT LIKE IT'S HART
    • 13 Years

    Fair play to those who brought in and Captained Kane this week.

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

      what about for us who bought but didn't captain? 😛

      1. Podge
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Still fair play

  15. SantiClaus
    • 10 Years

    Laca clear pen and honesty. Refereeing like that is why diving exists...

    He should be fined and sacked and not be allowed to ref again

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

      Bloody hell. Never allowed to do your job again if you make a mistake?

    2. Whazza

  16. Old Wulfrunian

    So Kane is back.

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      just for 2 weeks

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

      Back out of my team after next GW.

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

      Apparently.

    4. Podge
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      It’s hudds

  17. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    So everyone will get Kane in now, only for him to blank with a yellow card v Cardiff and then blank v West Ham.

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      not touching him. Gotta get Vardy first, then Arnie

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Same, I'm happy with Arnie, Mitro and Kun. Want nothing to do with that troll.

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

        This mate but all casuals having missed the boat on kane and will get him just seeing the cardiff fixture.Dangerous stuff but vardy looks really appealing for me with everton upnext

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

      absurd notion

    3. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Have no interest in owning him after Cardiff but very unlikely he blanks there

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

      he will blank vs west ham but cardiff not so sure as they are crap

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

    Fickle players to sell aguero already! Mental. He will have 20+ goals by the end of the season ans that means a heck of a lot of points. Fixtures are fine

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

      Yup clowns only see the next fixture vs liverpool and sell him

      1. Rusty71
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Maybe these "clowns" look at his upcoming fixtures and take into account the threat of rotation too!

  19. altan8797
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Guys guys guys, need seirous help over here. current squad

    Hart (boruc)
    alonso trip cook AWB suttner
    mane hazard sterling maddison (ward)
    Kun deeney king

    Want to bring in Kane but not sure as I also want to keep Sterling specially against burnley and spurs , so the options are

    a) Sterling King to Kane Fraser
    b)Mane King to Kane hoijberg
    c) dont get kane and deeney to mitrovic
    d)hold

    1. Klip Klopp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      A doesn't make sense if you don't want to lose Sterling.

      Maybe C or D

      1. altan8797
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I know, thats the dilemma

    2. DGW Sane TC Fail....
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      let the games finish for the game week first

  20. Klip Klopp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Worth swapping Foster to Leno?

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      yes

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

      Why?

      1. Klip Klopp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        to have an arsenal defender for 4.8 essentially

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

          It's not thought is it. It's a goal keeper. He's competing with Foster in your team, not other defenders. And other keepers are probably better value imo. They also don't block a triple up on Arsenal if you decided you wanted one in the future. Besides, Arsenal defenders have/can have goal threat, but you don't need an Arsenal defender unless they are good value anyway. I'm not convinced

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

            though*

            Didn't intend to insult your capacity for thought 😀

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

      Leno/Patricio not a bad combo imo

  21. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Huddersfield are really bad. Pool play them soon, so will probably keep Salah over getting Kane tbh...

    1. olidooley
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Keep Kun too?

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

      Captains from GW6-9 playing vs hud & CAR 😀

      1. Klip Klopp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        which ones?

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

          Kane Kane Salah Salah

    3. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      aguero out then?

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Dunno yet. Kun has scored more points than Kane.

    4. Klip Klopp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      good point

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

      Yup. That’s why I’m losing Kane after next week and getting Salah back.

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

        Some here. Sticking to my script no matter what happens next 2 gw's. Kane + Rich/Mad/Fra - Arnie + Salah

  22. Stoic
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Big Red machine giving me The Big Red Arrow

  23. Hy liverpool
    • 12 Years

    Guess first goal scorer in the 2nd halfs and you win nothing?

    Goooooooo

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Schurrle

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

      Aguero.

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

      Kun

    4. Volley127
      • 13 Years

      Ings

    5. LosBlancos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Richarlison. I hope

    6. Brap.
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Ings, cos I benched him.

    7. Sharpe Shuffle
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Kane

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

      Probably Kane the way things are panning out

    9. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Jimenez

    10. Brap.
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Siggy, after first missing a penalty

  24. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Fair play to those who bought and (c) Kane, he was one of this gwks plans , but didn't do it in the end , because it didn't make sense to future transfers and plans.

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

      Nah, the math for Kane (C) for GW7/8 -> Salah for GW9 on FT looks very good to me.

  25. MiLK2018
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    How can one check player ownership in top 10k?

    1. Volley127
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Go through each of the top 10k teams and count the players

      1. Khark
        • 10 Years
