Aguero returns to Man City starting line-up

Sergio Aguero (£12.0m) returns to the Manchester City starting line-up as Tottenham Hotspur come to the Etihad Stadium.

The Argentinian striker comes in for Gabriel Jesus (£9.5m), who drops to the bench.

Also coming out of the side is Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m), who has been replaced by the returning Bernardo Silva (£8.0m).

Pep Guardiola has opted not to rotate his full-backs though as both Oleksandr Zinchenko (£5.5m) and Kyle Walker (£6.0m) retain their starting berths.

However, John Stones (£5.5m) drops out of the side altogether with a rectus femoris strain, so Nicolas Otamendi (£5.4m) comes in at centre-back.

Opponents Spurs have made just one change from the team that beat Aston Villa and it’s hard to argue that it’s the right one.

Christian Eriksen (£9.0m) featured only as a substitute in Gameweek 1 and transformed Spurs’ fortunes when he came onto the pitch.

Therefore, Mauricio Pochettino has put him back into the starting line-up for Gameweek 2, Lucas Moura (£7.5m) the man to make way.

Man City XI: Ederson; Zinchenko, Laporte, Otamendi, Walker; De Bruyne, Gündogan, Rodrigo; Sterling, Aguero, B Silva.

Spurs XI: Lloris; Rose, D Sánchez, Alderweireld, Walker-Peters; Ndombele, Sissoko, Winks; Eriksen, Lamela; Kane.

    Will Pukki rise tonight???
    A. 100%
    or
    B. 99.99%

    1. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      B but A

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      he rises for sure

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Nah, expect most players will wait till the press conferences at the end of the week before making transfer decisions for the next GW. Don't think many will be making transfers tonight given there are still games to play.

      1. The Darkest Knight
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        sarcasm???

    4. Yank Revolution

      Play it safe if you want him and get him now.

  2. The Overthinker

    What's the probability that wood falls?

    1. Hiddenpaw
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I think almost certainly. Got me worried

    2. LosBlancos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Happens to most ppl at some point

    3. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      If a tree falls in the woods...

  3. SM001
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Salah can f**k right off.

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      if he scored every week he’d be on 38+ goals, be realistic

    2. Willllsonnn!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      a goal and an assist last week, a blank this week after 120mins midweek - I wouldn't f him off just yet...

    3. SM001
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      It's always a flip between him and Sterling. And I always get it wrong!

  4. Hiddenpaw
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Wrong time for seeking help but feel I need to do tonight so I don’t lose value.
    Wood + Auba + Pérez our for???
    A) Pukki + Kane + 6.0 mid
    B) Pukki + Rashford + KDB
    Thoughts?
    Or am I knee jerking?

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      perez out why

      1. Hiddenpaw
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Only one to could drop. Worries about Pukki rose and wood drop tonight.

        1. Hiddenpaw
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          I*

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Stupid to transfer out Perez before he plays

      1. Hiddenpaw
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I agree think I’m being knee jerky by the scores today. Patience is the key.

    Anyone looking to wc this week?

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      many will

      1. super zlatan
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        😉

      2. NestorC
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Never did it so early but with Digne injury, Guilbert not in the squad and Fraser, Wilson not doing anything I am tempted to test my luck.

    2. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      WC if it makes sense but the most important thing is do not panic

    3. Harper (No more Penandes)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I am tempted, I think the players that I will want in a few gameweeks will also be the ones I want now so why not just stay ahead of the crowd?

    4. Cojones of Destiny
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      yep looking at:
      pope
      awb, lund, mina
      kdb, son, sterling, mane, ceballos/mcginn
      rash, pukki

      0,3 itb

  6. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    People still recommend to get Pukki or wait till after that City game?

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I’m tempted to wait still - although you’ll mane a lot of TV if you get him in now as he will surely go up 0.3 this week

    2. super zlatan
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Get him now and join the Pukki party.
      With coke , pills and champagne.

  7. Tomerick
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Haller owners what we thinking? I fancy him for a goal at Watford if he’s fit.

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I'd hold personally

    2. LAMELA_AND_CONSUELA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I will give him one more week

    3. Tomerick
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Thank you council of Haller owners.

  8. Mr. Grv
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Pukki has a tough fixture list ahead , ill wait till he has a few easier fixtures . Form over fixtures but the fixtures are reasonably difficult.

    1. The Darkest Knight
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      lol....

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Agree, I think.

    3. FDMS All Starz
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Chelsea at home I think is easier than most away games

      1. Mr. Grv
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Chelsea has looked awful against united but decent against liverpool .

    4. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      fixtures over form

    5. Guy Demel
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Stop using the colours on the FPL website to determine if a fixture is tough.

      CHE, whu, MCI, bur, cry, AVL, bou

      Pukki can score against any of those - how are those bad fixtures?

      1. Harper (No more Penandes)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        This

      2. Mr. Grv
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        CHE , whu , MCI . If he blanks in even 2 games and some other mid priced strikers scores 2 , suddenly we will be running towards him . I will be getting him just not right now.

    6. ENZO SZN™
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Will you get him at 7.0+ ?

  9. Differential C (Mark)
    • 8 Years

    KdB or Son?

    1. The Darkest Knight
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      both i would say...

      1. TheDragon
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        You can’t have KDB Son Stirling and Salah/Mane

        1. Business Cat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

        2. Jay Jay Okocha
          • 10 Years

    Guys, not sure if you can help but my mother found iPhone SE during Hungaroring F1, sim card is from UK, I would like to return it to the owner... are there any sites I can publish the info?

    1. super zlatan

      Call into an apple store. They should be apple to source the owner.

    Salah > Mane for -4 to enable Wilson&Moura > Pukki&KDB?

  13. Ginkapo FPL
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Its going to be a long season for the Bees this year. Not having a single centre forward is going to be tough.

        3. Brosstan

          Think his team is Barnet

  14. niko mate
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    A) Salah, Firmino -> Mane, Auba
    B) Barkley, Firmino -> KDB, Jota

    Which change do you think is better?

    1. slasken
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      B

  15. Tauruspt
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Preparing for a B silva price drop

    I own pope...

    Do I:
    A) heaton to 4m and B silva to pogba or
    B) Stick

    If B the price change means I can’t make this switch in 2ft’s

  16. Cojones of Destiny
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    lads pls :
    a. ceballos
    b. mcginn

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Have hardly seen Ceballos, so cant give an opinion. 2 games of McGinn in Prem says he could be worth bringing in.

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I'd want to see more of Ceballos and if Emery trusts him away from home but really liked the look of him.

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Forward gets 24 BPS for a goal, he ended on 22.

      Tells the story about him, useless outside of pens.

  26. Brosstan

    1. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Looks really determined to get on scoresheet as well

    2. Krafty Werks
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Agree and looks extremely appetising with a next 4 of BOU(A), BHA(H), NOR(A), WAT(H)?

  27. marco_atk85

    Those who gets pukki this week, how many points they expect from him for next 3 weeks?

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      shh

      1. EMBOLOFAN
        • 5 Years

        😉

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      More than Callum Wilson's

    3. Tomerick
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I’m getting on him for the price increases and he is the form player in that bracket.

  28. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Robinson, Salah and Wilson
    To
    KDB, Son and Pukki

    4 pt mini WC

    Very tempted!!!

  29. Ross From Friends
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Moura + Wilson > KDB + Barnes?

  30. Dannyb
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Does Son get straight back in this team against Newcastle? What do you reckon?
