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Also coming out of the side is Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m), who has been replaced by the returning Bernardo Silva (£8.0m).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

        Wildcarding. Might look at Son if I want Spurs asset.

  3. Drip Doctor

    I know he will eventually, but do you think Son walks straight back into the starting 11?

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years

      Surely. Hes at another level to Lamela and even Moura. Hes fit, just been suspended.

    Anyway FPL aside this game is brilliant.

      Agree. Spurs fortunate though - two chances, two goals.

    KDB and Lamela. Who would have thought it.

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

      Pep or no Pe the Oil was there, many would be successful with it, maybe even more so in Europe.

    4. The Chosen One...

      Klopp done nothing in the league

    A draw would be excellent result for Spurs here.

    1. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      It would be a robbery.

    LOL state of Otamendi

  10. Yank Revolution

    Oh get up Ota, what a joke

  11. ZakyJ
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    I know this game hasn't even finished but are Sterling and KdB the 2 must haves?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yep. Along with one of the defenders.

    2. ZakyJ
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      With Salah I think

  12. The Tinkerman
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Shame Pukki already rose .1, rules out stuff like Wilson, Perez, Robbo > Zinc, KDB, Pukki

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Maybe Kwp instead of Zinc?

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      There was time to bring him in 🙂

    Comon Harry for the winner!

    Kane's record against the top sides is abysmal.

    Aguero finished as a fantasy player

    1. BobbyV

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

      A few shrewd differential picks and he can be right back in top 10k

  17. Yank Revolution

    Kun off

  18. Stupendous

    Digne will be fine...

    Heaton Pope
    Digne VVD Soyuncu (Montoya Pieters)
    Mane KDB Sterling McGinn Ceballos

      If for no other reason than ownership, I'd get some manure in thete. Martial, AWB or Shaw for me

  19. $carface

    Kun subbed off good for Sterling?

    Best United Defender?

    WanB for BAPS or SlabH for Goal threat

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      AWB

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

      I went with AWB

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

      AWB

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

      WanB the baps machine

      1. Majestic Chanka
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Pretty Unanimous

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

    For me this is why Kun is not really a great FPL option anymore - 12m and will mostly play 60-65 mins. If he scores till then, great. Otherwise a 2 pointer.

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

      Really annoying to watch games as an owner as well knowing he's coming off.

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

        I can imagine owners palpitating as the 60 min mark approaches, if Kun hasn't scored

  28. sirmorbach
    • 7 Years

    wtf's up with Kun

  29. Royal5
