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.

      1-1 draw ideal four you, surely. Liverpool still ahead, but both teams don't win.

      Pep has obviously lost faith in Sane now. Time to say good bye.

        I'm thinking of bringing Sane in - likely to get minutes at the weekend now

        1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…

      My Tc sane has scored the least point of all the players I had in this gw. Aguero vtc rubbing salt to the wounds. Gw score of 86 before this match and the hope of getting Aguero's Capt. Points was looking so good. Bald fraud has done it again. I will pray now that city doesn't win anything this year....

      6k on Saturday night down to 24k as it stands. This is impressive, even for me.

      1. KingOllie
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Yep fallen from 2k to 12k and my TC is done

    7. Feanor
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      To think I could have got Son instead of Sane.

      1. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I have Hazard instead. 🙁

      Will Sane (TC) for a total of 59 minutes in one game be a one of the legendary DGW troll stories?

      1. Tev
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Without a shadow of a doubt.

        1. Tev
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          I am genuinely struggling to think how this could be beaten. Red card, perhaps, by doubt that’ll ever happen to a highly captained attacking player.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            It's about as bad as it could possibly be. With the extra twist of the knife being if you'd VC'd Aguero.

      2. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Surely will. Not so much his fault as Pep’s though

      3. brianutd-why always we? 20
        • 12 Years

        Cruel I had Anderson and Bednarek on bench with 15 pts horrible

    12. fc_skrald
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Please fix the error in the rate my team - players who have left the league may still be in fpl-teams, eg Kamara and Quaner..

    13. sminkypinky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Transfers done.
      Ederson, Sane and Fraser -> Pat, Son, Mane for a hit. Loverly!

    14. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Pep is quite a git sometimes.

      Do we think he’s lost all confidence in Sane now?

      Ditch ASAP if that’s true I suppose, though not this week for me as I’m already on a -4.

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

        What has Sane playing crap got to do with Pep being a git ?
        No correlation

      2. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Salah C wins

    15. Alnair
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Can't even hate on Pep for the sub. If Sane was that **** in training no one in their right mind would play him.

      My question is why even start him?
