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.

      You are loving that word tonight. Did you just learn it?

          He'd run at the first sign of a physical confrontation, surely.

        I can understand why. It’s something you save all year for one special player in one GW.

        It’s not always that powerful but it’s a kick in the rectum for them.

        Frightening how many grown men on here throw their toys out the pram. It's always blame, blame, blame. Lucky this, lucky that. Bald fraud etc. Take responsibility for your choices!

        Too much toxic masculinity in this post, get over it.

        Yeah imagine caring about fantasy football enough to get angry at that! He says, on his fantasy football scout account.

      Mahrez - £60m for a guy who doesn't play.

        Now now, he's being saved for the mighty Newport.

      19 is a really big score to TC, but one of the big guns could easily end up beating it.

        • 12 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Makes me feel slightly less bad about saving my TC for a possible Hazard DGW/TGW

        1. how now brown cow
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Two single goals from haz plus bps could possibly do it.

        This is nice to remember. On a bad evening at least aguero didn't pile on the pain.
        Thanks

      Does that count as a save for Ederson?

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

      Downgrade Alisson or Laporte to fund Richa > Son (-4)
      or Sané > Son (keeping Richa)?

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

        sane > son seems better

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

          Will have to keep Richarlison another week though. Would be typical if Sané came back to punish!

      As a Sane captainer, following on from that lovely Scoutcast last night, I’m nowhere near as angry as I usually am.

      I have learned never to trust Pep again, owning City is too stressful unless there are injuries

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

        Mendy is injured though?

        1. FPL Maldini
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          I mean mass injuries to be honest, and I positions like striker really

        High risk high reward with City assets.

      3. MTPockets

          Triple captained him. Annoying, but frankly he looked awful after about 3 mins in.

        • dbeck
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years

          As a sterling owner for a long time, I don’t find him particularly stressful.

            Is that rage, or something more logical? Have to ask, because I'm raging.

        Aguero > Auba (-4) ?

        1. YEAH PITCH!
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          This is what I'm trying to decide as well. I think I'll do it once Aguero rises.

        2. Richd
          • 11 Years

          I’m undecided and it’s for free !

            • 5 Years

            Do you think Aguero state against Chelsea? I think he will, but I'm still leaning towards Auba.
