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Also coming out of the side is Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m), who has been replaced by the returning Bernardo Silva (£8.0m).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

    Not really sure about early transfers but would you remove Azpilicueta, Wilson or Pérez?

    What a goal by Moura!

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

      he had a lot to do both to get into position and then to finish it the way he did

    Sold Lucas Moura last season before game vs United(he scored brace)

    Sold Moura this season for Zaha and he scored again.

    I.hate.this.game.

      Mate I did exactly the same last season which is why I avoided him this year
      Can't have that happening again haha

  10. Guy Demel
    • 11 Years

    OK, might keep Moura for next week now

  11. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Imagine selling Moura ahead of an easy away fixture 😉

  12. Ha.
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    I had Moura in my 18th draft

    1. El Matador

      Me

    Moooooooooooooooora!!

    All my plans for next week were Lucas out.

    No idea what the hell to do now. I think he could score nine in a match and he still wouldn't make Poch's 11. 😐

    It really is the year of the casuals.

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Moura is surely every thing but a casual pick?

      1. onceuponatyne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        This.
        I find a lot of the casual calls are often just bitterness.

        1. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Its 99% attempts to wind up owners of various players and it always gets bites.

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

      Moura and Trossard are elite FPL picks, no casual has either. Those who know, know

      1. Tombory
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Have both

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

          you have great taste sir

    So strange that Moura keeps delivering in the big matches yet Poch doesn't seem to trust him

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I'd be a bit annoyed if I was him.

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

        Absolutely!

  17. HurriKane

    Noooo sold moura for mcginn

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

      How did McGinnn look tidy though?

  18. aborg
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Haha MOURAAAA. After 27 secs...

  19. The Ejiptian King
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    I don't have him but Moura owners keeping now for Newcastle?

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Obviously. Lamela is the one who loses his spot for Son

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

        After 2 assists?

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

      yes, even though it's a risk - Son will not start I don't think

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Son was clearly first choice last season and hes not coming back from injury or anything like that, he has just been suspended. Hes miles better than Lamela, goes straight back into the team surely.

  20. $carface

    Moura has Newcastle next

    1. Ross From Friends
