Aguero asking questions of non-owners as De Bruyne ticks over

Sheffield Utd 0-1 Manchester City

  • Goals: Sergio Aguero (£11.9m)
  • Assists: Kevin de Bruyne (£10.7m)
  • Penalty misses: Gabriel Jesus (£9.5m)
  • Penalty saves: Dean Henderson (£4.9m)
  • Bonus Points: Henderson x3, Nicolas Otamendi x3 (£5.0m), de Bruyne x1

Sergio Aguero (£11.9m) continued to pester Fantasy Premier League managers not in possession of him by extending his scoring run at Sheffield United.

His ever-increasing ownership, now at 19.5%, were initially left frustrated to see Pep Guardiola name him on the bench but, such is the Argentinian’s form right now, he didn’t let that get in the way of further attacking returns.

All Aguero needed was 23 minutes on the pitch at Bramall Lane to find the net, latching onto the end of a trademark Kevin de Bruyne (£10.7m) cross.

“He is on fire right now. Strikers need momentum and I feel he has it. Three goals before, two goals the other day and he scored today.” – Pep Guardiola

It means Aguero has now scored in each of his last four Premier League matches, his total of seven since Gameweek 20 the most of any top-flight forward at the time of writing.

Even though Aguero finished his latest game with just four points to his name, courtesy of a yellow card, there are still plenty of encouragements for his owners moving forward.

These are mainly connected with Gabriel Jesus (£9.5m) who had an evening to forget at Bramall Lane.

It was the Brazilian who came in for Aguero, joined in the front-three by Raheem Sterling (£11.7m) and Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m), but for the first hour or so, Manchester City were decidedly flat in attack.

Pep Guardiola had tried to match Sheffield United’s system, to some extent, playing Fernandinho (£5.2m), Nicolas Otamendi (£5.0m) and the returning Aymeric Laporte (£6.3m) in a back-three. However, this decision, reportedly taken to protect Laporte, did not bring the best out in Manchester City.

“Yeah (Laporte is okay). He could not play 90 minutes, especially here. That’s why we play with five at the back to protect him. He is an important player for us and we missed him a lot.” – Pep Guardiola

Sheffield United, who have defended admirably this season, were equal to most of what was thrown at them initially.

They did concede a penalty when Mahrez was brought down in the box after 35 minutes, but Dean Henderson (£4.9m) stepped up to save Jesus’ effort.

It is this miss that summed up his night, to the point that Pep Guardiola even admitted after the game that he may have to review the penalty situation at Manchester City.

“I have to reflect on (the penalty situation). I always give confidence to the players to take it but maybe I have to take the decision which guy is going to take it – not for Gabriel today because Sergio and Raheem have missed too but we are not safe. In the knockout stages, it’s so important because these kind of details make the difference most of the time. We have to reflect on it. I have to make the decision [on] the guy who will take the penalty. Ederson is the best. Believe me, he’s the best taker we have in penalties. Eddy has no blood in his veins, he’s so calm so he could do it.” – Pep Guardiola

Crucially, Manchester City took on a new lease of life once Aguero took to the pitch. With the team having previously playing quite static prior to the change, there was considerably better and more insightful movement afterwards.

While Aguero’s goals will have gone a long way to re-establishing himself as the in-form centre-forward, his owners may be boosted even more by Tuesday’s performance from Jesus.

As for de Bruyne, he continues to tick over with points, despite the decreased interest in his services for the Double Gameweek.

The Belgian was sold by over 200,000 managers in the fallout of Gameweek 23, only Marcus Rashford (£9.1m), Jamie Vardy (£10.0m), Tammy Abraham (£7.8m) and Richarlison (£8.1m) moved on by more.

In the end, de Bruyne ended up with a seven-point score, adjusted down from nine when he was initially awarded maximum bonus at full-time, which probably suited all parties given the context of the Double Gameweek.

Those who held onto the Belgian will certainly be content with another return, while those who sold him for Mohamed Salah (£12.4m) or Sadio Mané (£12.4m) may already be confident their new Liverpool midfielder can eclipse seven points across two matches.

Either way, a trip to Spurs in Gameweek 25 will hardly put off investment in Manchester City players, be it Aguero or de Bruyne, considering their defensive record since Mourinho’s arrival. After that, Manchester City host West Ham in Gameweek 26 so the short-term fixtures are still positive for de Bruyne and his colleagues.

Meanwhile, those in possession of Mahrez continue to experience nothing but bad luck. He was arguably the best player on the pitch for Manchester City against Sheffield United but left Bramall Lane with no Fantasy returns.

It was the Algerian who was fouled for the first-half penalty and he would have earned an assist had Jesus been able to put it away.

Finally, even though Laporte was back and Manchester City kept a much-needed clean sheet, there were still a few opportunities for Sheffield United.

John Fleck (£5.0m), who has been in fine form recently, was nearly played in during the first-half while Oli McBurnie (£5.7m) spurned a chance in the second period.

Also, Fantasy managers should take note of the fact that John Lundstram (£5.1m), as some suspected, did drop out of the team.

He was replaced by Muhamed Bešić (£4.4m) but came on for the final 12 minutes.

Whether this leaves Lundstram in a dangerous position of losing his place regularly remains to be seen. He has played a lot of football this season and it has taken some time for the competition to catch up with him. At the very least, it’s a situation for Fantasy managers to monitor.

Sheffield United XI (3-5-2): D Henderson; O’Connell, Egan, Basham (Robinson 78′); Stevens, Fleck, Norwood, Bešić (Lundstram 78′), Baldock; Sharp (Mousset 59′), McBurnie.

Manchester City XI (3-4-3): Ederson; Laporte (Garcia 78′), Otamendi, Fernandinho; Zinchenko, Rodri, De Bruyne, Walker; Sterling (B Silva 90+2′), Jesus (Aguero 67′), Mahrez.

    O'Connell, Egan or Basham?

      Not much in it. O'Connell or Egan are fine

        Ok thanks

    2. Tinmen

      I see a lot of this question already, so apologies folks, but who is the better pick out of the 3 Sheffield Centre backs?

      Is there any attacking threat among them ?

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Posted about this on previous page. I'm going to try and stump up for Stevens I think.

  2. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years

    Re Aguero, alongside Salah, he is the most explosive asset you can own but the utter frustration of Pep benchings really sees me not wanting to pull the trigger again this season.

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Captained him last two gameweeks and went 600K to 190K. Very much worth a punt after he has been rested. Sold him this week to get Mane though. Will 100% get him back this season.

      1. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        *punt is the wrong word to describe Aguero.

      2. jason_ni
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Similar to a mate in work ml, he nailed it, WC in 22, Kun in and capt him for 22/23, 66 points in 2 gws, and has now moved to Bobby, which I'm not sold on, but hes gone ahead of me, so what do I know!

        1. Pukki Party
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah i owned and captained him for 21 too, that's the risk you take. (Had aguero C 0 Vardy vc 0 lol).

      3. Do I Not Like Orange
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Think I will get him once the league cup final blank is out of the way.

      4. Lazaretti
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Did Kane to Aguero before GW22. Big differential in my ML. Before X-mas I had 100pt gap to my ML now leading and OR around 50k. Very good diff C option.

        1. Lazaretti
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          *gap ML leader

    2. jason_ni
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      If it wasnt for Pep, and City being City, Kun would play every game, and in that scenario, every man and his dog would have owned kun all season!

    3. jtreble
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Agree. Looking at Aguero > Auba.

      Not sure how you will get Kun, can survive for one week.

    2. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years

      Get him for West Ham game

  4. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    I've broken Ings, signed him for Jimenez last week and now the fun is all over! 🙁 Liverpool up next but worth holding him for fixtures after or ship to DCL?

    1. jason_ni
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Hold for the fixtures, he can and has scored against anyone.
      I did the same, but it was tammy out, which isnt so bad as he looks like he may be out for a bit, so would have had to move him on anyways.

      1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I sold Tammy this week as well for Greenwood to fit in Mane, I've been selling and buying at all the wrong times this season :/

  5. jason_ni
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    McCarthy - Fodder
    TAA - VVD - Lundy - Rico - Williams
    Salah - KDB - Maddison - Martial - Dendo
    Vardy - Ings - Greenwood

    4.6mill ITB
    A) Fodder GK to Hendo for the pool game(having 2 gks always seems to back fire, so wouldnt surprise me if i do this and southampton hold firm at anfield - Plus after 25 id be comfortable playing Mccarthy every week for the foreseeable future!)
    B) Rico to 2nd Sheff Utd defender
    C) Dendo to any mf up to 9 mill

    I am kinda leaning towards going B, and playing 4-4-2.

    1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      upgrade defence imo

    2. UTD - HATED, ADORED, BUT NE…
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Is it just one ft? I think I’d roll it. I like D but not actually sure who I’d want that you don’t already have. Defence perfectly solid imo and last 2 weeks (Pope then Hendo are an example of why A could go horribly wrong)

      1. jason_ni
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, just 1FT, I'll def not be doing anything until the cup games have passed.

    3. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      C at some point is better for you squad during the blank weeks, but we don't know what players to get yet. B looks fine

  6. FPL Panda
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on a SHU treble up in defence ?

    Thinking of adding another 4.5 from them to my Hendo / Lundstram double up

    Lovely 5 fixtures after palace away

    1. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      I am doing it this GW or next. Reid to one of the 3 cheaper CBs, Soy & Kelly to bench.

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…

      I am considering a WC just to get in on that (only have Lund at present).

  7. faux_C

    • 11 Years

    Maupay to Ings/Jimenez

    or

    Vardy to Aguero?

    1. UTD - HATED, ADORED, BUT NE…

      Lovely!!

      1. UTD - HATED, ADORED, BUT NE…
        • 4 Years

        Oh sorry, thought you were suggesting both - I’d probably prefer A with Ings (maybe do it next week though?)

        1. faux_C
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Cheers, you're probably right...just sick of Maupay!

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…

      Just leave it another week, painful as it might be.

      I was keen on aguerro too but advancing in CL and rotation has me veering more towards Auba now

      Good Photoshop skills

      1. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Think it's just the camera angle

    2. BigBillyBass

      Chances of Mane being rested for the Wolves game?

      1. BigBillyBass
        • 5 Years

        Reply fail

    3. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Is it just Henderson that's photoshopped? Were the other players actually encroaching?

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Of course they were.. didn’t touch the ball or affect the play though so they are irrelevant

  10. Bury94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Last chance for Leicester players tonight, will be dismantling my triple up if they have a poor performance

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      You're not the only one I'm sure. I've been down to two for a few weeks now and prob. down to 1 from next week.

        True but he’s been so poor for me recently

        1. Pukki Party
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Owner too here, will be gone after Villa

          Soy. Lund just taking a well earned rest (I hope).

            Thanks, worth a -4 with martial having wolves next?

            1. Fulchester's New Centr…
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              Yeah, scoring not usually an issue for Utd and Wolves seem to have given up on CS

  12. Fit_to_drop
    • 4 Years

    What are thoughts about Lundstrams long term place in the blades team?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Think Besic started last time Blades played City too. Hopefully just a rest as Lund has looked a bit jaded of late.

      1. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        This is what i think too

  13. BigBillyBass
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Chances of Mane being rested for the Wolves game?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      6.2%

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Would be sweeet!

        2. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          If only it was true... Pity it's 'Who Scored?'

          1. BigBillyBass
            • 5 Years

            How accurate are they?

        3. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Saw that already, but what do they know? No hint of it in the Echo (yet)

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I'd conservatively estimate he has a 97.3% of being rested.

      Conservatively.

      1. BigBillyBass
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I disagree. I think it's more like 96.545677843257%

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Have you factored in the expected weather conditions

            You're the guy who went with 3 Pool defenders aren't you? Lol absolutely crazy

              • 14 Years

              Was on two all season, but three weeks ago it became clear that two just wasn't enough 😉

                • 5 Years

                Wolves will score by the way

              • 8 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              The points he's gained from this decision over the last few weeks indicates the complete opposite.

    The tirade here when Mane gets benched will be interesting. Can't wait for the first Pool game.

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      A few sources predicting Mane to be dropped for Origi. He was absolutely rubbish against United so can’t understand why anyone would TC him regardless

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years

        Rubbish? 😆

        1. IRBOX ⚽

            Would be great for me. All my rivals have him Cx3. I'm on Salah.
            Ooo it would hurt though. Ouch.

    Why did David Luiz get -1 for 2 goals conceded? He got sent off before any goal was scored.

      V. good

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…

        Sorry, thought you were genuinely fishing.

        1. goriuanx
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Nah. Only just seen the rule today. It isn't consistent with CS rules so don't agree with it.

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Defs still lose points for conceded after they were sent off

      Kind of like a double punishment for being such a naughty naughty boy

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        That's a silly rule. You shouldn't lose/gain points for things that happen when you're not on the pitch.

        1. FCSB
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Disagree in a sense, because arguably they conceded again because of his actions....

        2. OverTinker
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Agreed that makes no sense

        3. Pukki Party
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          You should get double minus points for goals conceded after rc imo

        4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Unless you are in some way accountable for those events, which they argue that defenders and goalkeepers are, by virtue of them handicapping their teams defensive efforts

          1. goriuanx
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            It's argumentative, not a direct result of. I think it's a silly rule tbh.

            1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              I totally see the logic in it

              If they can't do the time they shouldn't do the crime

        5. Big Hands Barry
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          good rule IMO

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

          The fact that his team are a player short because of his actions can be construed as a contributing factor to them conceded goals, so fair enough IMO.

      You’ve been here 9 years and only just realising this? Of course they should be punished for putting their team under defensive pressure. Great rule

    4. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Wow, I'm genuinely gobsmacked you're asking this and complaining about fairness of rule.

    Worth doing Mahrez to Martial?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Probably

      1. Pukkipartyy
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Why ?
        Mahrez looks like best City player and Martial looks awful..

        Ofc allways possible that mahrez will be benched, but Westham after Spurs.

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          OOP, Utd's only fit centre forward, decent enough fixtures until City school them again in a few weeks time.
          Mahrez might benched, just because

          1. Pukkipartyy
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Yep thats true.
            I have owned Martial few times this season and when i own him and watch the games its just frustrating..

    What to do here??

    Henderson
    TAA Lundstram Dunk
    Mane Salah KDB Grealish

      Wait and see if Greenwood get's 30 seconds tonight or a whole 5 minutes.

    Why does DCL suddenly turn into Lewindowski lol? Wasnt he very poor last season

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      He is only 22 and improving markedly. Ancelotti has given him the impetus to excel

    Haul Haller Haul

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      no chance

    2. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Still he can score more than ings

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        That is not unlikely, but not quite a haul either.

        1. OverTinker
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          I was hoping Haller will score double the score of Ings in three games as Ings have 2 where he will be benched in easy game.

          1. Fulchester's New Centr…
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            You're right, but not exactly a haul.

  20. tibollom

    hesitated long and hard between TAA and Mane TC and went with Mane...
    praying all goes well, 27 points so far with TAA, Mane, and Bobby left..
    all hopes on pool otherwise terrible GW..

    Hendo
    TAA Cathcart Dunk
    Mane(TC) KDB Grealish Doucoure
    Ings Kun Bobby

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years

      Don't worry, well on target for triple figures.

      1. tibollom
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        you reckon? I have Mane as TC, if he doesnt play the first game but does the 2nd, do the points go to VC TAA for the first game then back to him?

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Absolutely not

          1. tibollom
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            so he would need to be out for both games in order for trent to get it?

            1. Fulchester's New Centr…
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              Yes, if he plays 30 seconds of even one game, you're stuck with him, but I'd take the benching rumour with a pinch of salt at this stage.

              1. tibollom
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 2 months ago

                Thanks mate... let's hope he plays both and scores a few

    Should I serious consider losing Lundstram if I get 4.7 by selling him?

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      time to run, he is dropped

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        dropped or rested.

      2. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Interrupted.

      3. Forza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        He's only been benched in the league twice, both against City, and the first one was because of an ankle injury. He's started literally every other league game.

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe, sideways to another Blades' def.

  22. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Benching Hendo stings a bit - should never have went near McCarthy

    1. Zilla
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Well if only Gabriel scored it..

    2. faux_C
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      McCarthy got a clean sheet and cost 4.3 - that is the best you can plan for.

      Henderson saving a a pen is luck not judgement.

    3. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Played Pope last weekend - he hauled, but the fact he had to play at all is hardly a good reflection on me as a manger.

  23. Stig
    • 8 Years

    Vardy > Aguero
    Tammy > DCL

    Worth a hit?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years

      Would you still consider if Jamie smashes it tonight?

  24. OverTinker
    • 5 Years

    Henderson points will hopefully keep me in the LMS although I haven't used TC chip

      C, Stevens or Baldock worth the extra if you can.

    Do you think Lundstram been dropped or just rested, like he was when he had to play two games in quick succession at Christmas ?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Only missed 2 City games, started all the rest.

      Rested... but hasn't been playing as well recently.

      Definitely one to watch.

  28. cigan

    For the next round - play 2?

    Lundstram
    Holgate
    Cathcart
    Lascelles

    1. bitm2007

      1. cigan

        You reckon Lundstram was dropped?

  29. Dacra

    Batshuayi worth consideration if Tammy out?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Like to see him actually get picked to start before committing to that
