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.

    How deep is the snow? Game likely cancelled before KO?

    I’ve seen a stat that Man City’s bench tonight have scored a total of 36 goals this season, equalling the tally for Everton’s entire squad...

    Kind of relieved. I hope City bang 10 past Everton so that this joke of a manager Silva gets sacked in the morning. So disrespectul towards home fans and the prem. No integrity. Laughable club led by a laughable manager. Atleast after tonight i can scrap all hopes of winning minileagues, which means i can go back to giving zero fks. Absolutely shocking.

      This is Everton's biggest game in a decade 😉

      1. TeamSteam
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Everton is a complete and utter disgrace to the premier league. I legitimately hope they lose 0-10. And i actually don`t hope they sack Silva, i hope they keep him so they can keep being a laughing stock.

      What's the problem?

      1. TeamSteam
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Have you seen the teamsheet?

        1. Cilly Bonnolly
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          I have. And I've never understood this argument. Clubs have a list of registered players they can pick. Who are you to say who they should and shouldn't play?

          1. TeamSteam
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            So that means every player at every club is equal? Are you really that stupid?

            1. Cilly Bonnolly
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              5 years, 2 months ago

              Insults? Really?

              Again, who are you to decide who should play and who shouldn't?

              1. TeamSteam
                • 11 Years
                5 years, 2 months ago

                Ask stupid questions, and i`ll give you a stupid answer. Usually the best players should play. Not change the entire team before a match against the best team in the league.

                1. Cilly Bonnolly
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 12 Years
                  5 years, 2 months ago

                  Again...Who. Are. You. To. Decide?

                  It's ENTIRELY up to Everton who they play.

                  1. TeamSteam
                    • 11 Years
                    5 years, 2 months ago

                    Ever heard about a thing called professional integrity?

                      5 years, 2 months ago

                      Don't give us it. Your annoyed because you're a Liverpool fan and Everton benched a player you own. Don't pretend you're on some kind of moral crusade to uphold the integrity of the competition.

      Lol, the meltdown. A pool fan supposedly pissed off at Everton for playing an on-paper weak lineup.

      1. TeamSteam
        • 11 Years

        Like thats in any way unjustified.

    Some Everton fans happy with the probable 4-3-3 formation tonight. Rabbit in a hat?

    Capt Aguero starting is a reet bonus...

  6. Maddi Son
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Feel like I'm even with Aguero now. Missed out on his 20 (40) point in GW2.

    Who got on him both times then?

    1. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Captain in GW2, TC this GW.

      1. Maddi Son

        Oooh delicious. Sterling's 21 pointer too?

    2. BigCoupes

      Yep, but only C in GW2. Went Sane on this occasion.

    4. TeamSteam

      So you making a mistake before somehow rectifies the insane amount of luck this gw? Nice logic.

      1. Maddi Son
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Captaining Aguero in a double gameweek is lucky? Stupid kid.

        1. TeamSteam
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Listen you imbecile. Lucky scoring a hattrick, and lucky playing against Evertons second best 11. Go play in the street.

          1. Maddi Son
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            So was he lucky to score a hatty against Huddersfield too? Nice logic there. It's only lucky when it goes against you. Stay salty kid.

            1. TeamSteam
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 2 months ago

              It was. Not half as lucky as this gw tho. You smug idiot.

              1. Maddi Son
                • 6 Years
                5 years, 2 months ago

                You don't understand what luck means. Do us all a favour and pick up a dictionary or go back to school.

                1. TeamSteam
                  • 11 Years
                  5 years, 2 months ago

                  I know what luck means. You clearly dont. Mongrol. Smug fk.

          2. Black Knights
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            It definitely isn’t insane luck.

        2. Garlana
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          It is lucky, most of the game is based on luck.

          1. Maddi Son
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            Captaining one of the most lethal strikers in Prem history in a DGW is not luck. It's about as obvious as it gets.

            1. Garlana
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 2 months ago

              I will bookmark this for when you get it wrong, love to hear your explanation as you clearly know it all 🙂

              1. Maddi Son
                • 6 Years
                5 years, 2 months ago

                I got it wrong against Huddersfield. Learned a lesson not to believe scare mongering.

              2. fedolefan
                • 9 Years
                5 years, 2 months ago

                These know-it-alls will quietly vanish when they have a shocker. You'll never hear from them in a week or two.

                1. Maddi Son
                  • 6 Years
                  5 years, 2 months ago

                  It's not about being a know it all though is it? Captaining Aguero in a DGW is probably the least lucky thing you can do in FPL.

                  The saltiness on here is next level, fair play.

                  1. TeamSteam
                    • 11 Years
                    5 years, 2 months ago

                    Its not about the decision. Its about the outcome. You stupid man.

                    1. Maddi Son
                      • 6 Years
                      5 years, 2 months ago

                      So are you saying that every positive outcome is luck? Every hat trick scored in history is luck?

                      It's about playing the odds. There was a very high probability that Aguero would start one game and get minutes in the other. Hence a very good shout for captaincy. That's not lucky, just deal with it.

                  2. Garlana
                    • 9 Years
                    5 years, 2 months ago

                    I personally wasn't trying to take anything away from you, well done on getting it right, but there is still a big element of luck involved, yes it's wise to look at the players quality and fixtures but you surely can't have predicted a hatrick followed by then starting three days later against a really poor looking Everton team? direct comparison is sane who has looked equally as nailed and on form, I'm sure many on here felt the exact same way captaining him, the fact this site also got it wrong surely helps argue that it wasn't expected.

            2. George Sillett
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 2 months ago

              It's only obvious if he gets picked which with Pep is always open to debate. Show me your pre gameweek 100% confident prediction that he would start both games and then you get full credibility.

              1. TeamSteam
                • 11 Years
                5 years, 2 months ago

                He cant. Hes just smug after the fact. Prob ranks like 250k as well.

      Well I didn’t captain him in week 2 so missed out there after scare mongering and missed out this time too as thought Jesus might get some game time so lol at me.

      Still in top 20K but could have been so much better!

    7. Black Knights

      Captain for both.

    8. MarcusAurelius

      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Aguero was the sensible choice this game week. He’s I n fire and City need to win games. Not lucky one bit. Just a salty Sane captainer upset with himself. Chin up Psycho 😉

        • 12 Years

        Not lucky one bit? Oh come on, not many people thought he’d start both.

        1. MarcusAurelius
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Who said anything about starting both? Just thought he would outscore Sane over 2 games. Sane had just as much chance as being rested as Kun

          1. Here's Tom with the We…
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            well played to you then. Obviously no luck involved. Me personally I honestly thought Sterling Sané And Kun would only start one each.

    10. Fergus1107

        Saying that. If the tv channels don’t want a game I’m not sure why it’s not then legal !

    Help guys and gals, planning for Chelsea and city blank game week. I have a pap bench, am I better to transfer out alonso for arsenal defender for -4 knowing few easy on paper games or bench Alonso and risk only having 10 players in couple of weeks. Alonso out also allows funds to free up Richarlison out the week after to someone who can hit a barn door

    Walcott owners are the real winners.....

    Ofc they benched Siggy, Richa etc and they startet some local fraud like kenny or DCL who cares about mersesyde rivalry.

    0-4 my prediction

    Living for day when Everton get relegated. Awful team and they spent more then Arsenal and Tottenham etc..

      Yes. Playing 4 in a dow is rough,

        • 10 Years

        If its in a dow its worth a punt

        1. korbendallas82

          Its a dow.

    Everton line up looks lower division. Miracle if they keep the loss to 2 goals.

      City to win 7-0

    Will Kun get subbed off after Sané's hat-trick to save him for the next game?

  21. Iceball

    Son in for Sane or Sterling?

  22. MTPockets

      The game's not watchable in the UK, so nobody's losing revenue here if someone posts a stream link

        Our corporate overlords that own this site now wont like it regardless. They dont want people to know streams are an option.

        You’ll get the site in trouble. However if you’re in America and have American tv as that guy posted above it’s on NBCSN

      To think, Aguero wasn't even in the Scout Picks team this week!!

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

        Don't think any of the Scouts could get him into their teams.

      Park the bus Everton.

        It's a communist bus.
        It has flaws.

        1. fedolefan
          • 9 Years

          A bus nonetheless. Let City crash into it but proceed no further.

            Crashinto a communist bus and it will crumble like the Banksters that financed it in the first place envisioned.

      As the game's not on any British TV tonight, best streaming site?

      1. lugs
        • 6 Years

        its on NBCSN and BEIN Sports 11 if you can find a stream

      On the BBC

      'Sergio Aguero has scored just one goal for every 358 minutes he has faced Everton, his worst goal-per-minute record against any Premier League side.'

      Hat trick incoming

        He needs to even it out a bit.

      I'd half expected to see Mendy in some capacity tonight . What happened to him I wonder?

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Bad boys should play with bad toys.

        Apparently playing 25 minutes in the Cup was too much for him.

    • Dacra
      • 9 Years

      0-0

    • rojojojo
      • 6 Years

      Wonder what Mahrez has been like in training... clearly a quality player makes you wonder why he's not been played more.

    • Dacra
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Will Aguero really start against Chelsea too?!
