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 or B fellas. Both for hit
    A : Kamara and Sterling OUT Auba and 4.3-7.3 MID IN
    B : Kamara and Richa OUT Laca and 4.6 MID IN

    B would allow me to keep Sterling for great City fixtures after GW 27.

    What would you do ? ThX in advance. Cheers.

      I wouldn’t want to lose
      Sterling mate

      1. Niho992

        5 years, 2 months ago

        Thats my opinion too, but then i cant bring Auba for those Arsenal fixtures. I can cover with Laca, but europa league starts soon and maybe he will play there more...

          That’s a dilemma mate also with Aubameyang he’s possibly stand out captain option you’d have for 27 too...tricky one for you mate, I have both thankfully I’ve brought Auba in for this week using hazard in a -4 with Kamara out and Hayden in

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

            Yeah, i already bring Son instead Hazard, so my only option for Auba is to transfer out Sterling...

            I can bring back Sterling in GW 28 for free instead Son who have 2 heavy fixtures in GWs 28 and 29

              That’s seems like a master plan mate!! Perfect scenario there

  2. gryffsonofarthur

    1 FT

    which option?

    A) Richarlison (wat) to Salah (BOU)
    B) Aguero (CHE) to Aubameyang (hud)

    (C) Do both transfers for a -4

    1. Niho992
      • 5 Years

      A.

  3. Majestic Chanka

    So when do my Doc brace points get added?

    1. fr3d

      Monday

  4. Alli
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    A) Kun > Auba
    B) Sané > Son
    C) Richarlison, Digne > Son, Bednarek

    2 FT - 0 ITB

    Etheridge - Hamer
    Robertson - Luiz - Doherty - Digne - W.Bissaka
    Salah - Sané - Pogba - Richarlison - Stephens
    Kun - Rashford - Jiménez

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

      Why not both A and B ?

  5. Saka Rice
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    I don't know what to do im so stuck

    A) Hazard firmino (-4) > Pogba Aubameyang
    B) Sane > Pogba

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years

      A

  6. We Will Klopp you
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    A) Jota and Digne to Son and Benderek - 4

    Or B) sterling to Son

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

      Sterling to Son, unless Jota is ruled out (unlikely, seems to have been left out as a precaution).

  8. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Alonso, Sane, Kamara > 4.5 (not Bednarek/AWB), Jota, Auba -4

    Worth it?

    And which defender? He can have a poor fixture this week but need it to be a plum one in 27.

    1. Mysterion
      • 6 Years

    Sane to Fanny ?

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      5 weeks of Fanny blanking has put me off.

      1. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I think that Fanny is ready to explode anytime soon

    2. Gringo Kid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Who is Fanny?

        Annie

      2. Yank Revolution

        Felipe Anderson

    3. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      It’s the move I’m making.

  10. Viper
    • 14 Years

    Sané dropping tonight 😆

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

    More Football League clubs (9) than Premier League (7) in the last 16 of the FA Cup. First time since 2012-13 that the Premier League clubs have been in a minority in the fifth round.

  12. The Mighty Whites
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Jota, Moutinho, Maddison or Anderson in for Richarlison?

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

      I'm looking at Jota or Anderson as a Richarlison replacement. Not keen on West Ham's next fixture though. I'm leaning towards Jota.

    2. wolvesmad
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Jota

  13. Tekkerslovakiaftw
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Which transfer will yield more points this week:
    A) Son>Hazard
    Or
    B) Anderson>Richarlison

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

    Sutherns is gonna finish on a score of 102 without Aguero! Doesn't seem possible.

    1. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Quitting FFS may be good for people after all!

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      He wouldn't finish on it if it wasn't possible.

    3. Syd.
      • 14 Years

      He is a Dark Lord 😉

    4. lugs
      • 6 Years

      this would have been him if he did TC Kun

    Sane owners - why is the plan?

    Expect him to start at weekend? Or time to ditch?

    Thanks

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years

      Keeping for 1 more week.

      1. pjanns

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

      Think he's going for me, if not this week (I still might!), then next.

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

      Ditch

    9 red arrows in a row for Ville Ronka....

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      He's Finnished.

    2. Syd.
      • 14 Years

      Giving the Jay Egg fellow a run for his money

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

        At least Ronke doesn't rob people by running patreons and giving awful advice.

    3. Niho992
      • 5 Years

      what's his rank now

  17. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Stunningly, only dropping to 5k spots to ~25k OR.

    I guess I should thank Haz and Luiz instead of looking to ship right away.

    1. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Rage has shifted to Sane/Pep.

  18. Ludde
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Lloris Steele
    Robertson Doherty Digne WanB Danilo
    Salah Sterling Pogba Brooks Billing
    Firmino Jimenez Rashford

    With this team should I do A or B?
    A. Transfer out Danilo
    B. Save and Get 2 FT for GW27

  19. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Worth taking a -8 for This?

    Sane, Richarlison and Kamara out

    ->

    Mane, Rashford and Puncheon in

    Yay or nay?

  20. Saka Rice
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Is Lacazette nailed? If he isn't he's not worth it

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

      has looked it lately, but at risk of early subs

    2. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      That is correct

      Aubameyang is that fellow

  21. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Guaita
    Robbo Doherty Digne
    Salah Sane Richarlison Pogba
    Auba Jimenez Rashford
    Bench: Button - TAA - AWB - Camarasa

    Better move this week...
    A. Sane to Son
    B. Digne and Richarlison to Son and 4.4 def (will pick one playing blanks like BOU/NEW defender).
    C. Sane and Richarlison to Son and Anderson

  22. Runaway
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    A) Sterling + Firmino + 4
    B) Auba + Mane

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      A

  23. Bobby_Baggio
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Evening all. The plan was Haz + Kamara > 4.3m + Auba. Now im thinking about keeping Haz and getting Sane out. Thoughts?

    Fab
    Robbo - AWB - Pereira
    Sane - Pogba - Salah - Haz - Anderson
    Jimenez - Rashford

    Bennett - Digne - Kamara

  24. pjanns
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    A: Sane --> Mane
    B: Aguero --> Auba

    Fab
    Digne - Robbo - AWB
    Sane - Son - Salah - Pogba
    Aguero - Jimi - Rashford

    Which transfer would you prefer?
    I'm personally on B.

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

      I’m doing B next week. Aguero loves playing big clubs at home

  25. benpurser
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    A) Hazard > Son
    B) Hazard > Mane
    C) Hazard, Kun > Son, Auba
    D) Hazard, Kun > Mane, Auba

    Which One?

    1. pjanns
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      C for free

  26. ankil2009
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Is Sterling + Kamara to Auba +4.5 mid worth a -4 ?

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

    Sane and Aguero to Son and Aubamyang for -4 worth it?

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

      Yes

  28. woodles
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Will probably do success and sane to Jota and Auba this week. Would anyone consider playing the bench boost with a bench of:
    Fab (cpl)
    Digne (wat)
    Sigurdsson (wat)
    Rondon (WOL)

  29. Connor's Calling
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Moving heaven and earth to get Sane in before Newcastle went well then. Lowest scoring player for me this week, even as captain!

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

      Awful. I will petulantly avoid him now 🙂

    2. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      In fact even worse...

      I swapped Luiz and Anderson (21 points) for Sané and Kasalniac (2 poknts!)

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

    The captaincy actually is quite tough when I think about it, Aubamayang vs Salah.

    Thoughts?
