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.

    Know who I’m most angry at?

    Brighton. Flipping Brighton & Hove Albion.

    If they would have had the decency to win (or lose) their FA Cup game the first time, then Chelsea would have had a DGW, I’d have kept and captained Hazard (HUD, BHA) and been 30+ points better off. But noooo, they had to go and draw pointlessly, and deny me of what wood have been a perfectly profitable DGW opportunity. Bah.

      I think it's still too early to buy players with the blank in mind. Remember last year, everyone had Walcott for weeks before the blank, ended up losing loads of points (me included of course). Son is worth it in my opinion.

            I like Laca as a player, but not as a fantasy asset at that price. His playing time is always a question mark (former owner). Auba is really the smarter choice I believe.

      Had a late fitness test prior to Liverpool game so you would think he’d have a good chance of being back for Palace at the weekend

      I own Shaw. He’s rubbish and always either gets booked or concedes a goal. 8 bookings and guaranteed to get two more and suspension soon. Get wolves or Leicester defence
