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.

    Everton do practicaly everything to concede goal. MAtch fixing at finest.

      MAnifestly so.

    2. George Sillett
      • 8 Years

      Stupid and ridiculous comment. Match fixing ?

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Almost. We all know City will win this easy.

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

          It is absolutely nothing like match fixing ?
          The expectation based on all known form is that Man City win easily

        Gatekeeper spotted.

    3. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years

      You kidding?
      City are the best attacking team in the league. Everton are in dire form.

    Aguero owners so unlucky again !!

    1. Differentiator
      • 8 Years

      That Gundo hit the bar and he couldn't celebrate?

    2. Salah’s Sonnet

  7. gaurava1216

    5 years, 2 months ago

    If Chelsea and Brighton do not advance in the cup- could we possibly have a Blank game week with 1 DGW of Chelsea Vs brighton?

    Food for thought...

    1. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      in GW 31 that is...

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Easier to just play in 32 or 35.

      1. gaurava1216
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        and what if both advance in the cup?

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years

          Mayhem.

    Stop fooling around Pep. bring on KDB and Sterling. Sane and Laporte off

    1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners

    Quarter of the game gone. Anything of note happen?

    1. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Gundogan hit the bar
      Before that laporte missed a sitter of a header.

    2. BoleynWin
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Gündogan hit the bar, Sane with the most space & probing runs out of the City forwards. Everton parking the bus & haven’t had a chance as of yet

  10. Tcheco
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    This game needs more Sigurdsson

  11. Forza Papac

    1. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      ME too. Only chance to cameon is to result be 0-0 for 60 minutes. If City score KdB, Jesus and Mahrez will came

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Own Sterling and happy for him to be off

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        i dont care

    Brighton and WBA really do not give a fig about the FA Cup. Both put out second string teams and both look like they want to go out.

  14. COLLIN QUANER
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Need an Ederson goal or assist if Sterling doesn't come on

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Easier to get a penalty save.

      1. COLLIN QUANER
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Good point

      2. Pierce34
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Everton would have to win a penalty first, which is probably just as unlikely as an Ederson goal!

      3. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        actually easier to score than to Ederson save anything

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Assist more likely than a pen save

  15. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Laporte looks great at LB. Doubt Mendy will get the spot back, Pep doesnt like him.

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Linked with a bid for Chilwell in the summer too, I reckon Pep has lost patience with Mendy for the long term.

  16. Dacra
    • 9 Years

    Full time now please thanks.

    1. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years

      Sure, once we have played 65 mins of extra time.

  17. child of God

    Just looked at the lineup, what is marko silva doing? Is it that he loves city or hate Liverpool a lot?

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

      "Brave lineup" according to NBC :p

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Theyve done well so far.

    2. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Working out alright so far

    3. 420king
      • 9 Years

      He will get sacked if he gets any points tonight.

    4. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Commentator said ‘no surprises’ in either starting lineup.

      Beglin (?) I think.....bit of an idiot

  18. Bob B

    I have a 6-pointer in my H2H league, should I use TC to gain an advantage?
    Salah (BOU) ?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Only if H2H is most important.

  19. 4-4-who?
    • 14 Years

    The players he has been picking in the last eight games have hardly done him proud....

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Why not play Lookman instead of Walcott do?

      Yeah needs more sterling

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      If you're referring to to two times the ball has rolled out of play, then I think you're overreacting.

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Salty Sterling owner

    4. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Silva keeps overhitting his passes to him.

  21. V-2 Schneiderlin
    • 13 Years

    Has Digne scored an OG or been sent off yet?

    1. Here's Tom with the We…
      • 12 Years

  22. Niho992

    I would be extremely happy with 2 points combined between Richa and Raheem.

    Huh. I thought Everton were throwing this and City were gonna score a hatful. Doesn't seem so.

  25. Richd

    Sane miscontrolling the ball and still stretching his foot every time he runs.

    Raheem time imo
