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Also coming out of the side is Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m), who has been replaced by the returning Bernardo Silva (£8.0m).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

      Preparing for a B silva price drop

      Thoughts please

      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

      Kane playing very deep since Moura coming on. Will be the same when Son is playing too I guess. Enough to put me off him for now

      1. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
        • 14 Years

        Kane isn’t worth the price

        The next bandwagon after the spitting of the dummy.

    • Maddi Son

      Aguero is one pissy baby

        Yeah.

    • $carface

      Not given the armband and subbed off. Poor Kun.

    • Yank Revolution

      This dissension is great for us Man U fans... 😉 Its the only way they're going to be caught, ripped apart internally and blowing games like this!

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        It'll take more than that for us to catch them, maybe a 20 point deduction.

          Lol true. Something of that nature ought to happen though, to the financial cheaters

      2. Drexl Spivey

        Then there's the other five teams that finished above you last season.

      3. HamezMace
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I'm afraid it's not likely that Man Utd are going to be doing the catching if City do fall apart.

      A)
      Pickford
      Zinchenko / Alexander-Arnold / Van Dijk / Mina
      De Bruyne / Sterling / Trossard / Martial
      Pukki / Kane

      B)
      Adrian
      Zinchenko / Alexander-Arnold / Digne / Mina
      De Bruyne / Sterling / Trossard / Martial / Salah

      Don't blame Aguero for being pissed. He always gets subbed.

      I for one will be steering clear of him all season.

      fell sorry for Kun, one of the best striekrs in the world (easy top 5) and playing second fiddle to a kid.

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years

        all I will say is he would have won us the CL had he started over Kane

      Deulofeu how was he?
      Seriously thinking of transferring out, kicking myself for not

      Lloris down

    • MITHRRANDIRR
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Jesus is levels below Aguero. Plays with eyes on the ball, completely unaware of the situation around him.

      1. LǝgleSs e|even

        Better than crappy Fraser's

      4. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Not seen it but might be a keep, almost matching his PPM from last year

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Is he? Harry scored the goal

        • 11 Years

        Nicely reworded. Everyone had a field day with that set-up. I for one will be getting rid. I’m happy with the assist this week and last, however

      6. Differentiator
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Very decent

    • QUEN
      • 5 Years

        It probably is. Sum up the points in 3-4 gwks

    • Better Call Raul
      • 4 Years

      Is this too much of a kneejerk use of 2 free transfers?

      King and Salah -> Pukki and Sterling

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Nope. Will be popular this GW.

    • Totalfootball
      • 7 Years

      Aguero can easily score 30 goals a season still , if City actually play to his strengths ,
      Sad

      1. BigBillyBass
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        It’s not all about Aguero though

    • SADIO SANÉ

        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Kane with 2 touches all game and you are trying to get him in? I don't understand

        1. BigBillyBass
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Kane will demolish Newcastle next week, and I’m a toon fan

        2. George Sillett
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Lol. Newcastle area rather different proposition to Man City.

          • 6 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          His next opponent will be newcastle, do u think he will touch the ball 2 times like today?

          1. Ross From Friends
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

        1. Ross From Friends
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Son maybe, Kane not so much...will he be subbed on today? why is he on bench?

          1. BigBillyBass
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

        1. Ross From Friends
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Exactly, two jammy goals in 5 minute last weekend means nothing. Mane is far superior

      4. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Jesus, none of you seen a 'greater than' symbol? I don't have Mane or Kane

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Ok some of you do, am confused - will ask again later

        I would yes
