Aguero and Sané start for Man City as Sterling benched

Fantasy managers who put faith in Sergio Aguero (£11.4m) could be in for one of their most memorable Gameweeks.

The Manchester City forward has defied ‘Pep Roulette’ to start both matches of Double Gameweek 25, named on the team sheet to face Everton on Wednesday night.

The start comes after scoring 17 points in Sunday afternoon’s 3-1 win over Arsenal, in which Aguero scored a hat-trick.

Once again, we should expect a great divide between managers, depending which Manchester City options they backed.

Leroy Sané (£9.8m) comes back into the side after remaining an unused substitute at the weekend, but Raheem Sterling (£11.3m) travels in the opposite direction.

Kevin de Bruyne (£9.7m) is also named among the subsitutes.

Anyone invested in Aymeric Laporte (£5.9m) will be encouraged to know that he has been deployed at left-back.

However, Pep Guardiola is not the only Premier League manager wreaking havoc with Fantasy teams, as Everton have also rotated for this fixture.

The Toffees two most popular Fantasy midfielders Richarlison (£6.8m) and Gylfi Sigurdsson (£7.4m) both find themselves on the bench as Marco Silva goes for a 4-3-3 system.

Everton XI: Pickford; Digne, Zouma, Keane, Kenny; Davies, Gueye, A Gomes; Bernard, Calvert-Lewin, Walcott.

Man City XI: Ederson; Laporte, Otamendi, Stones, Walker; D Silva, Gundogan, Fernandinho; Sané, Aguero, B Silva.

      Yeah hindsight is great.

      If Aguero blanked (or maybe even just 1 goal) against Arsenal I'm sure Jesus would have been given a run out. Hard to bench a guy off the back of a hattie.

      TC could have so easily backfired

          Haha, touché!

          Yeah fair point. Hold my hands up with that call. Tbf I stand by the fact that it is still a deferred -4 but clearly well worth it.

          My point above is more about the fact that you are doubling down on Aguero as opposed to Kane - who if had a bad first game would still be afforded the second game, which I don't think was the case here. But we'll never know, maybe I'm talking out my backside...again 😉

      In hindsight Kun TC was a good call, (not just because he scored a hatty 🙂 )

      He was always likely to score against Arsenal. Then, especially if Liverpool slipped up at all Pep had to reward him with another start. Good job Kun Kappers!
