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.

    Jumped from 270k+ to 28k....83 pts so far!

    1. Four Hit Wonder
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Impressive. I also did well kn mine in GW 2 or 3.

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

        Funny thing is i got alli in before his injury and pogba before the video and that forced my hand!

    2. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Not bad. Though had you transferred Mendy out for Trippier and played Bennet you'd probably be looking at a similar score this week. And have you Free hit for navigating blank GWs. Not to poop on yer parade though. Well done.

  5. Paganoi
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Mendy & Lukaku > TAA & Kane worth a -4?

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

    Time for people here to start considering Kane now 😉

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

      No thanks. If he were 2m cheaper then yes

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

      I will get him for Aguero I think. Using FT. But only after European games are finished.

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

      your grav made him good again..... 😀

      1. Rainer

        😛

    4. My Name Is Pepu

      Cool kids already bought him last week 😎

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

    You know, checking it, it's not a total disaster. Just a shame so many points depend on other of my players blanking.

    21 from 5 with either 2 or 4 baps to hopefully come.

    1. Four Hit Wonder
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      24 from 6.

      Yes it is a total disaster.

  8. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    No injury to Kane right? Bring him in for Lukaku now as have exact funds.

    1. MTPockets
        7 years, 2 months ago

        No he got up and carried on.

      • GREEN IS GOOD
        • 9 Years

        Spurs play Barca midweek.

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

      30 pts out of 3 players (Aguero (c), Trippier and Richarlison) and it still looks like a bad Gameweek for now lol.

    3. Podge
      • 14 Years

      Anyone with a big score yet ? Can’t see many over 48 or so

      So six games today had at least one clean sheet involved...?

      Unusual, good day for plenty of defenders so

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Defenders have been good to own this season...

    6. Regin
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Was going to free hit with Kane, trippier, Doherty, sane. Could have had 30pts More. Damn it!!

    7. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      OMG. Deulofail... Well played, lad. Well played.

    8. davies

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

        Ouch! Sorry.

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

      Should be no BAP for lucky Maddy.

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

        why so lucky? you watch the game?

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

        Pereira gets a bap?

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

        That’s good for salty non owners

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

        Not a Maddison owner?
        Better to be lucky than good. Even better when you're both.

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

      Got lucky with Pereira. Delighted with the 6.

    11. FPL Touches
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Salah + Ings ➡ Knocky + Kane (C)

      Looks very obvious at the moment.

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

        Yes but not knockeart

        1. FPL Touches
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          I’m max. 6.4m so would be my favoured option with the fixtures

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

        Go watch the spurs game.

        1. FPL Touches
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Don’t have a captaincy option for next week. Spurs likely cruising today, saving energy for UCL

      3. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Knockaert passes the eye test... all he needs is fixtures.

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

      That lad with Pat Jonny Doherty... bloody fairplay mate lol

    13. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Any Bilva owners left?

      5 blanks out of 6 now & counting....

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

        Here. As long as he starts and plays central attacking role I am quite happy with the price + City combo. I must say that Richarlison for almost 1m less is tempting.

    14. Winners900
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Damn thats a shocking gmw for me 28p before bonus.

      Only 4 left

    15. Messiah Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Any news on Mendy so far? Does he need replacing? Or can I just do Neves/Jorginho to Maddison?

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

        The game ended 5mins ago. Pep isn't gonna talk about Mendy in the post presser. We have all the news we need. Mendy is VERY unlikely to feature for City until after the IB. Even then, I can't see him playing again for a few weeks

        1. Messiah Hazard
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Thanks

      2. FPL Touches
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Both Neves AND Jorginho haha. You love a knee jerk

        1. Messiah Hazard
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Yup. On a wc that too

    16. money face bandwagon
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      So I guess kane brace is a small victory for us wildcarder 🙂

    17. camarozz
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      21 pts from my Wolves players.
      Patricio + Doherty

      Now for Hazard capt brace...

    18. Vobinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      41 points from Kane, Richa, Doherty, transferred out Mendy, Kamara, Salah for -8 - looks gold so far if Salah doesn't go wild! And that's without Kane v Cardiff next week.

      Was called out for ridiculous transfers all week for doing a -8 but it shows that as long as you're confident in what you can gain from the points loss then be brave and take the hits!

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

        Saved when you finish your league 7 pts behind the leader :p

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

          During WC Fantasy, I finished 3 points behind the leader because I didn’t want to take the -4 to bring in Meunier who scored against England in the consolation match. It works both ways bro

    19. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      35 before Baps from 5? Pretty decent right?

          Hmmm idk. Im 7214. Still got 6 to play though

      2. diesel001

        Average

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Salah, Haz, TAA, Alonso, Fraser and Zaha to play

      3. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Top 10k average = 42 points

    20. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Tosun > Mitrovic went well

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Mixed feelings as I took an 8 point hit and did Mendy to Trippier (Holebas and Peltier on bench), King to Mitrovic and Pickford to Patricio.

        Naturally, Mitrovic fails the moment I bring him in and Pickford keeps a cleanie the week I got rid.

        But Patricio is on 8 pts and in the BAPs and Tripps is on 9 points and in the BAPs.

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

      Kane isn't even the highest scoring Harry of the day 😉

    22. The Head-Ake
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Wally had to get points didn't he?

    23. Pratik
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Weeks of successive hits paid off: Last week: Mendy + Walcott -> Trippier + Maddison (-4)
      Salah + Firminho -> Kane + Rich (-4)

      Pretty happy with 51 now, around 60 with bonuses.

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

        Bit early to say the second ones paid off 😉

        1. My Name Is Pepu
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Time will tell 😉

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

        Well done. I bet the team looks better for it

        People argue against hits but taking consecutive hits is sometimes the best thing to do

        Good moves

      3. Ghost Gooner
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Walcott assisted btw

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

          I only see the good things in life! 🙂

          I think long term they are the right moves

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

        Well done. Very satisfying when it works out
