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.

    Me Biatch ruined the snuggles after good loving by sleeping before me, and the snore is loud like a grunting pig and she occasionally lets one off too and smells like one.

    So I've come downstairs.

    Best move?
    A. Sane to Son
    B. Richarlison and Sane to Anderson and Son (-4).
    C. Richarlison and Digne to 4.4 def playing blanks (eg. Lejeune/Cook) and Son (-4).

    Hits are to cover the various blanks so don't mind too much.

        I will over a couple of weeks but not worth a hit. Which would you rather this week? Either transfer would be my captain choice this week

      GW 24 - 21 points = 20k to 42k
      GW25 - 86 points = 42k to 30k
      At least I clawed back a bit after GW24's disaster, onwards and upwards!

  5. Bobby_Baggio

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

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

    Bennett - Digne - Kamara

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

      Would stick to the plan if it’s not for a hit.

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

        It is for -4.

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

      I think that you should sell Sane.

    3. Kuzser
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Them you can just do sane->son and reassess next week

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

        Shoot misprint....Anderson is son

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

          Then you want to do Sane->Anderson. 🙂

      Do you need the defender to cover blanks?
      4.2 won't work too well for that sadly. Go A.

  8. HurriKane
    • 11 Years

    There surely will be one poor bloke who TC'd Andy Caroll couple of years back and Sane this gw. Andy from scoutcast?

      sane

    2. #FPLBhuna

  11. Pishpott
    • 5 Years

    Keep Haz and dump Aguero to Auba? Or lose both for Auba and Son for free?

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

      both is fine

    2. TRIPOS TOPPER

  15. Klip Klopp

    Aguero to Auba worth a -4?

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

      this manz who just scored a hattrick vs the one who didn't? Probably not

      1. Klip Klopp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        i know but Jesus is firng and Auba has peachy fixtures. I am chasing points too?

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

          Yeah man too much chasing. Just trust in Maradona's ex-son-in-law

    2. Metropolis

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Many are doing it. I'm using FT and -4 is on other transfer 😆

      1. Klip Klopp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        nice! whats the other transfer

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

          My planned 2FT plus hit atm is Digne Sane Aguero > Kosc Son Auba. Aguero>Auba the one I'm debating

        2. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Also Sane to Son or Mane but leaning Son

  16. Teror
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Could anyone explain to me why I prefer Moutinho over Jota?

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      cheaper? 🙂

  17. Plymouth
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    No Aguero, but what a gameweek. Sterling(C), Laporte, Haz, Luiz. No minus points. Feels mighty swell

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

      Nice work chap

    Another rise would be annoying

    1. GS456
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Yeah

  19. GS456
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Patricio
    TAA, Robbo, Wan Biss
    Richarlison, Pogba, Salah (c), Sane, Son
    Jiminez, Rashford

    Etheridge, Niasse, Femenia, Daniels

    1st FT was sterling > sonny

    Save the 2nd one?

    Have 3.8 itb but going to downgrade
    Richarlison to a 4.5 and upgrade niasse to Auba next week.

    Can’t see much else there really

  20. The Mighty Hippo
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    I really can't decide...suggestions welcome

    a) Sane + Richarlison --> Mane + Anderson
    b) Sane + Richarlison --> Son + Anderson
    c) Sterling + Richarlison --> Mane + Son

    1. GS456
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      C

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

      I like c both are playing in GW27

    3. The Mighty Hippo
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Thanks. Option C was my original plan, but it means keeping Sane who will be dropping in price and doesn't seem to be wholly in favour at the moment.

  21. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Is Kolasinac nailed?

    Weighing up him vs Pereira (who I would bench next week)

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

      I think so but funny that whoscored has him dropped. Their team predictions are as bad as they get though. I'm paying extra for Arsenal defender with 3 shots on target and 2 goals last 2 played

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Kosc is def an option also and a lovely diff at 0.5% owned!

        It’s tough as Kola gives assist potential, more likely bps and goal involvement. Kosc gives higher xg but more likely to stay back and be uninvolved in attacking play

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

          Kosc is baps magnet if CS. Kola all the attacking threat not a hell of a lot to show for it

          1. Don Kloppeone
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            So hard cos then if you switch the decision to Kosc vs Pereira, Pereira has all the underlying stats in his favour but no form last few. Kosc has form and next few fixtures look plum

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

              I've always liked uninjured Kosc. Total bargain if can stay fit

    2. jia you
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Many think that Kola's place is now at risk with Suarez coming into contention.

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Hmm so maybe Koscielny is the way forward and consider switching to Pereira after GW28

  22. Podge
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    One got 20 the other got 3

    1. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Ah mate

      TC Sané and Laporte eh?

      I got lucky with Kun and Laporte but Sané Captain

    2. #FPLBhuna

      Ouch bad luck mate

    3. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy

    5. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Well I captained the one that scored 1 against the other that scored 19, you're certainly not in that boat on your own 🙂

  23. Gabistuta
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Hey guys what are your thoughts on this plan? 2FT

    Sane, Kun > Anderson, Auba +3m

    Then upgrade Punch to 7.2m

    Leaving me with

    Lloris Speroni
    Robbo Digne Doherty AWB Lindelof
    Pogba Anderson Salah Son 7.2m
    Rash Auba Jim

    Alternatively just do Sane, Kun to Auba Mane

    Cheers in advance 🙂

    1. School of Poch
      • 8 Years

      Sane/Kun > Auba Mane

      Luiz difficult game
      Palace defence good for CS and AWB BAPS king
