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.

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

      I have Doherty, but probably going to get a Liverpool defender (either TAA or Robertson) in a couple of gameweeks time

      Richarlison and Maddison are worth squeezing the extra little bit of cash for if you can.

  2. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    BPS seem to be final.

  6. J T
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Rich(C) was pretty unfortunate tbh 3-0 and no contribution 😮

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

      Based on watching the game or not?

      1. J T
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Listened to it on the radio..

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

        Didn't look that dangerous tbh. One scissor kick which went close-ish and another SOT was all I saw.

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

          Oh and I think there was a decent chance from a corner

          1. J T
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            If you had said the score line before the game I would have 100% captained Rich lol

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

            1 decent chance, a SOT from outside the box and a hopeful scissor tick is not quite enough. How were Fulham though?

  7. delux
    • 13 Years

    1. J T

      4. XabiAlonso
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Is right. That's my first clean sheet of the season in goal

    3. Dybala10
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Mane to?

      A) Hazard
      B) Sterling (have Aguero)
      C) Maddison (then upgrade Ings to Lacazette/Vardy)

      1. Deulo10
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Hazard

      2. Sid1891
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Wait 2hrs and you will be wiser

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

        What if he scores 5 goals today ?

    4. Ambrosiana Inter
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      What happened to vertonghen?

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

        Went down half way through the first half, feeling his leg. Didn't come out for the 2nd half.

      2. Van der Faart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Hamstring scare. Played on for about 10 minutes after it happened so I imagine he was taken off as a precaution

        1. Ambrosiana Inter
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Hope,so, I went with him rather then Trippier cause I thought he was more nailed 🙁

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

            Trippier or no one in that Spurs D.

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

      Patricio 10 pts! Makes up for having Bennett instead of Doherty or Jonny

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

        Yes, but ironically I took a hit for him to get shot of Pickford.

        I don’t regret it as Wolves will keep more cleanies than Everton, but it’s just typical that after getting nothing from Pickford for 6 weeks and finally running out of patience with him, he delivers a CS.

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

        Me too couldn’t afford the 0.3 🙁

    6. Sid1891
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Dilva to

      A Son
      B Maddison
      C any other 8.8 itb

      Have Richarlison Fraser hazard Mane
      Cheers

          Same as last week. Definite factor for mins, but feet looked ok for his goal.

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

          I feel Aguero will be benched VS BUR in GW 9.

        • Zilla
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          "We spoke about him playing 55, 60 mins. That’s what happened. We were lucky he scored a goal in that moment."

          bad news

        • MattysFantasyFooty
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Might be perfect time to ship to Kane?

        • Rash

            If you dont have any pressing issues moving to Kane Vs Cardiff at home seems a no brainer

        • XabiAlonso
          • 10 Years

          Looked ok. Could have had a goal or two had he been played in by Moura twice and had one or two shots at goal.

          Played Hart over Patricio!

          Fabianski on the bench last week!

          Which sounds better to YOU?
          A) Kun to Arnie and roll a FT
          B) Ederson + Kun -> Kane(c) + Patricio

            B although Patricio not chasing points a little

          Salah assist or single goal to tide him over, but bigger scores from Haz Robbo Alonso would be nice

          what happened to cech? i thought pete and i had turned a corner. thx

            Injured i think

            Hamstring injury.

          This game will be my decision maker on Salah v Mane. Stuck with Salah so far but if he doesn't outscore Mane today he's outter there!

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

            That's a tough test you've given him. Odds are they will score the same.

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

              Mane looks so dangerous against the 'weaker' teams so if Salah can't outscore him against the big boys he's not worth the extra 3 million!

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

            So you'll actually spend 10.0m on Mane?

          Just a thought for GW 8 transfers:

          Worth a -4 ?

          mendy & zaha >>> TAA & Kane (c)

          Thanks guys.

          Don't really want to ship Aguero, but Pep's post match comments and him continuing to only play 60 are not very optimistic, and is frustrating especially when (C)

            That's a bit clickbait. What did Pep say?
