Sané misses out on starting XI after Double Gameweek disappointment

Leroy Sané (£9.6m) is the man to fall foul of Pep Guardiola’s rotation policy for their big game against Chelsea today.

The German international has been named on the bench for the Gameweek 26 clash at the Etihad Stadium, continuing a frustrating spell for his owners after he scored just point in Double Gameweek 25.

Starting on the flanks of Manchester City’s three-man attack are Raheem Sterling (£11.3m) and Bernardo Silva (£7.5m).

Having scored a hat-trick in his last Etihad Stadium appearance, Sergio Aguero (£11.4m) keeps his place at the spearhead of Manchester City’s line.

Kevin de Bruyne (£9.7m), Fernandinho (£5.3m) and Ilkay Gündogan (£5.4m) are the central midfield trio, with David Silva (£8.5m) on the bench.

Double Gameweek 25 star Aymeric Laporte (£5.9m) keeps his place in the team once again but is back in more familiar surroundings as Guardiola has selected him at centre-back, after two outings on the left.

Next to him is John Stones (£5.2m), with Oleksandr Zinchenko (£4.7m) and Kyle Walker (£6.4m) on the flanks.

There are fewer surprises in the Chelsea line-up as Pedro (£6.3m) joins Eden Hazard (£10.9m) and Gonzalo Higuain (£9.5m) in their front three.

Manchester City XI (4-3-3): Ederson; Walker, Stones, Laporte, Zinchenko; Gündogan, Fernandinho, De Bruyne; B Silva, Agüero, Sterling.

Chelsea XI (4-3-3): Kepa; Azpilicueta, Rüdiger, David Luiz, Alonso; Kanté, Jorginho, Barkley; Pedro, Higuaín, Hazard.

    Does KDB look more like Prince Harry or Zinchenko ?

    Feels a little crazy to be a bit disappointed with my Sterling(c) so far!

    Own Sterling but it doesn't feel enough.

    Jorginho did something.

    These two weeks have been a testament to thinking independently and not just going with the herd

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years

      Not really. Aguero EO in Top 10k was over 80% last GW. If anything it is testament to go with the herd and get the highly owned players.

        Good point, though I was referring to the FFS prevailing opinion that selling him to accommodate Auba was the way forward

        And this week?

    Aguero in the last 2 GWs literally a make or break for the whole season

      Only if you had him as TC last week and capt this week, not many did but hats off to those that had him anyway

    That puts me on 82 points with bonus points to come and also Doherty and Jiminez to play.

    What a good week 🙂

    Not sure how I can fit Sterling back in but he looks like a must.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      He really isn’t a must

      1. tm245

        Best value of the big three in terms of PPM, just need to see what the fixtures hold for him.

    Aguero is only owned by 29% OVERALL. (Dead teams removed).

    Anyone a third or less owned I consider a significant rank changer if they haul, obviously if alternatives flop.

    1. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Even with this I'm struggling yo gain rank

      It's brutal

  24. QueefParkRangers

    People still own Sane?

    Once bitten twice shy

      Posts like this are pointless.

      We can't all just ditch every single player who blanks every single week.

        It's not pointless are you are biting

    Pep take Aguero off pleeease. Make this pain stop

  26. The Red Devil

    That moment of happiness of aubameyang outscoring aguero in GW 24 seems so long ago

  27. Delph & Safety
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Not owning Agüero has been very costly.
