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.

    72 points and Salah, Alonso and Fraser to play. Is it good? What s average if you know?

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

      Average is 88 so you are below I'm afraid

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

      Shut up, you know that is a good score.

    3. CarsonYeung

  7. johnthepg
    • 11 Years

    Anyone watch the full Spurs match? How did Kane look? Pass the eye test?

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

      Not so much, but he will pass it next week

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

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

        Played it a couple of weeks ago. Got in Sterling,Vardy,Pat etc.

        93 and 60 points since then and this gw going decent.

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

          Nice. I nearly did Zaha > Sterling for a hit.

  9. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    Alot of Twitter experts who said no go to take now suddenly quiet

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Kane

    2. MTPockets
        7 years, 2 months ago

        A twitter expert. Rather like a civil war

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

      So so bad. Why does Aguero keeping getting subbed?????

      Why are saints so bad?

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

        Bloody annoying isn’t it

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

          Just seen Aguero might sneak 2 BPs which slightly lessens the hurt.

          Also 'furious' that bbc said lacazette goal, then checked back and no points! Stupid OG

      2. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Champions league - he's too precious to risk unnecessarily.

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

        The question is why doesn’t Kane get subbed. Makes perfect sense to protect the players when the game is won

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

          Coz europa is still far. He will be subbed then

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

          Ha at least he didn't score late.

      4. tsm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Ya know at the first half break I was ready to ship Aguero to Kane. I flipped over and watched the spurs game but it was like night and day difference in football. Now I’m not so sure Kane isn’t getting the service he needs to make a viable swap. On the other hand Aguero’s team have the master class to play around him.

    4. fantasyxprt11
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Who will get more points.

      Fraser and Salah or 5 pts plus Kepa.?

      Gotta be close

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Fraser and Salah
        Yes it should be close IMO

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

        Surely the first set

    5. JELLYFISH
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Mendy > Bennett and Zaha > Kane for a hit.

      Yes/no?

      1. Dr. Agabuse
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        yes

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

          Done it. Captain Kane in my team for gw8 looks good.

    6. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Score check
      35 from 5(including Captain)

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

        39 from 5 (including captain). BPS should up it to 50 tho. I think being in the 30s rn is about average. Not too bad, not too great. The BPS tho is what can change it

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

      Time to get rid of Lucas. One assist since his brace against Utd

      1. GOTHAM City F.C.
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Agreed

    8. Pacer.
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Docherty outscored trippier! Mendy benchers unite!

      1. drughi
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        cool kids have both

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

        Get both 😎

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

        Luiz > Doherty paid off for me this week with Mendy benched. The Mendy dilemma goes on though

      4. FC Hakkebøf
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Having both is Better than having Mendy on the bench 😉

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

      Brought in Vardy 2 weeks ago, kept Sigurdsson, and took a punt on Bellerin last week.. damn this feels good.

    10. Klein
      • 10 Years

      Damn that doherty and johny points is gonna hurt so bad. And now kun 2bps.

          His dive.

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

      Vertonghen....

      What happened? Injured? Rested?

      Brought him in last week because I thought he was least rotation-prone.

      Then Brighton scores 90+3, Aurier gets injured and now he gets taken off at the break only to lose his CS

      Gutted

      1. Van der Faart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Mitrovic to Arnie?

      Mitrovic not in great form with not so great fixtures and Arnie banging them in?

      1. drughi
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        yes

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

        Ya, make sure it's for a hit

        1. Ross From Friends
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          hahahahha

      3. DantheManinaPan
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Did you just say Mitro not in great form? Have you forgotten he's on 5 goals in 7 games?

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

        I would defo look to bring Arnie in but not for Mitro. Who are your other two FWDs?

    14. drughi
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      let the hits come to get Kane 🙂

    15. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Fair play for those who bought in wolves. I was close for Doherty but stubornly wanted to save FT. Big red arrow for me this week it looks.

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        No Kane has hurt me today. Red for me too.

    16. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Some big swings today. Needed more from dilva really.

      Oh well, onwards we go...

    17. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Great! Not! Doherty 12 pts on bench and Smalling gets 1 on pitch. Smalling to Trippier was the plan but gambled and failed.

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

        Why did you bench Doherty. These re the exact type of games you want him for

        1. brianutd-why always we? 20
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          I know I know you’re right

    18. socho
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      is 101 a good score? i don't get people sometimes...

    19. Dr. Agabuse
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      best Ramsey replacement? 0.0itb Have Rich. Maddison supposedly lucky?

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

        Fulham next. I'm happy with him

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

        Wait a bit more. If he doesn’t score in the next few matches, he may lose his nailedness. Atm you want to take adavantage of his playing time and pretty easy run

    20. MMN
      • 11 Years
