Sané misses out on starting XI after Double Gameweek disappointment

2,199 Comments

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.

    I thought not having Pogba was going to hurt me this week but Sterling and Aguero have changed all that.

    Question with Holebas, is he banned for 2 league games now?

    If so would you replace him with Pereira or TAA? (Have Robbo)

      Created a lot of space, hardly lost possession, a lot of succesfull dribbles. Not many chances, though, but Higuain has been on holiday 2nd half.

        I have Hazard on my daily fantasy team and it has cost me entry into the money zone. So maybe I'm biased. Lol. But honestly, as the team's main player, you have to bring much more than he has to the table. But I guess mentally he's gone and he can't get along with Sarri, so there's much more going on than just normal football.

      I think it was smart to keep on paper. I mean it’s not worked out, but the logic for keeping was there and they just won 6-0.
