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.

    A Mitrovic, Holebas, Schar bench for this next gw looks bound to end in some regret.. still worth starting AWB, Laporte and Richarlison over any of those?

  7. Chernobylkid

    5 years, 2 months ago

    Sane to:
    A) Mane (have Son, Pogba, Salah)
    B) Jota to allow for upgrade of Gunnarson to Fraser as 5th mid ahead of blanks

    Thanks

    Keep Digne or sell?

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

      Honestly depends on team.

      I sold as I had a lot of blankers coming up, but he’s still a very good option despite the anger he caused many

    2. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Sell

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

      I might sell for Bednarak! Puts 1.7m ITB and can rotate WB, Bed & Bennett as third def.

    4. Pras (FPL)

      If Che lose to Utd in FA Cup then digne plays both blanks. Worth holding a week to find this out imo.

    Thoughts on laca instead of auba next 3 .Will dump for higuain gw29 so its a 3 week span only and captaining them will be only gw27 although son is a contender too.Has started last 5

    Not sure how many managed to watch that match but if you didn’t.

    Despite a CS that City defence is awful. If they give better sides than Everton that much space again they’re going to have a problem...wide, wide open at times with acres of space. Wishing I had Hazard now...and I won’t be keeping Ederson for very long.

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Chelsea are going to have a big say in this title race, imo.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        City seriously looking at even another Palace game with defending like that...

    2. Sz21
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      How did Sane play? Is it looking like the end of him as an FPL asset now?

  12. School of Poch
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Any help appreciated

    Fab/Hamer
    Alonso/Kola/Doherty/Holebas/WB
    Salah/Hazard/Pogba/Sane/Rich
    Rashford/Jiminez/Kamara

    1FT £1.3ITB - (All Chips Remaining)

    Is it a good strategy to save the FT here and use 2FT for blank GW27 and then either
    A: use WC for DGW32 & prep DGW35 then FH for blank 33
    B: Prepare for blank 33 with FT and use FH DGW32 WC34
    with BB DGW35 & TC if Hazard gets DGW

    or is there a better chip strategy or use of FT now?

    Love my team. Shame it doesn't score too many points.

    Patricio
    Lindelof - Van Dijk - Digne
    Sterling - Pogba - KdB - Salah - Son
    Llorente - Rashford

    Speroni - Long - Bednarek - AWB
    2.2 ITB

    And tonight is why I said earlier today that I’d rather sell Raz for Son instead of get rid of Hazard.

    No way Haz plays 59 mins of a Chelsea DGW or starts on the bench for one of them.

    Sorry, but give me security of starts over Pep roulette any day of the week.

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years

      I'd rather own Hazard tbf. Agree.

  19. George James

    Do we think Richarlison starts at the weekend?

    1. Viper

      Yes

    2. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years

      Of course he will.

    Anyone else got Valery? Why was he benched?

  23. Viper
    • 14 Years

    So what does this mean for blank/dgwks etc?

    1. Richd
      • 11 Years

      Some nice 4 pointers from some Brighton boys in the future apparently.

        Sweet. Beats Sané

    2. tambourineman

      Little yet, Brighton would have to beat Derby for GW31 fixture to be blanked

  24. I Member
    • 8 Years

  26. Ron_Swanson
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Aguero to Auba still a good idea? Maybe even better now?

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

      I would have normally rid myself of Sane first with my only FT, however, the big question is whether we, or I, think Kun gets a rest v Chelsea. Id bring in Auba for a -4 I think.

  27. Saka Rice
