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.

    Watched the highlights of the city game and Sane to me looked like he played quite well.
    So why was he taken off after 59 mins?

    0.1 short of Firmino and Sterling -> Mané and Auba. So I think I’ll roll my FT and do a mini wildcard ahead of gw27.

        To get Mané and Auba in I’d have to make a third transfer to find the 0.1. I was considering Digne to Kolasinac. However, not worth a -8. I think I’ll wait a week and do it for a -4 if price swings don’t work in my favour.

    Considerations this week are;

    B) Sane+Kamara >>Westwood+Laca (-4)
    C) Kamara >> Crouch?

    Sounds like a lot of rage selling of Sane, yet he's still a prime City pick, so debating over who to keep long term.

    plan is to get in Higauin after GW27.

      Tricky choice. I'd go Son (C), Rashford (V), or vice-versa.
