Aguero returns to the City starting XI as Bergwijn makes Spurs debut

Gameweek 25 comes to a conclusion at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with Manchester City the visitors to north London.

Kick-off is at 16:30 GMT.

Pep Guardiola has made a couple of changes to the side that beat Sheffield United in their last Premier League game.

The main one from a Fantasy perspective concerns Sergio Aguero (£12.0m), who replaces Gabriel Jesus (£9.5m) as City’s central striker.

Ilkay Gundogan (£5.2m) also comes into midfield, with centre-back Aymeric Laporte (£6.3m) not part of the matchday squad.

City look to be back in a 4-3-3 following their dalliances with a wing-back system in recent weeks.

Kevin De Bruyne (£10.7m) makes his 17th successive Premier League start in central midfield, while Raheem Sterling (£11.7m) and Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m) retain their places either side of Aguero.

Jose Mourinho makes three changes to the side that started the win over Norwich City, one of which sees winger Steven Bergwijn (£7.5m) make his debut following his £26.7m move from PSV Eindhoven.

Davinson Sanchez (£5.3m) and budget FPL defender Japhet Tanganga (£4.0m) also come into the starting XI, with Ryan Sessegnon (£5.4m), Jan Vertonghen (£5.2m) and Erik Lamela (£5.7m) all dropping to the bench.

Only two sides have kept fewer clean sheets than Spurs since Jose Mourinho took charge, although the Lilywhites have conceded fewer big chances than any other team in that time.

No team has scored more goals on the road than Manchester City in 2019/20, with Guardiola’s troops having found the back of the net on 34 occasions in their 12 away fixtures.


Spurs XI: Lloris, Aurier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Tanganga, Winks, Lo Celso, Dele, Bergwijn, Son, Lucas.

Man City XI: Ederson, Walker, Otamendi, Fernandinho, Zinchenko, Rodrigo, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Mahrez, Sterling, Aguero.

    1. Skalla
      • 7 Years

      Berge is a defensive midfielder, Bergwijn maybe a better option 🙂

    Mane -> Son for a hit worked out perfectly.
    Get innn Sonnnn.
    We need 1 more goal/assist

    Son's goal moves me up to 64k 😀

    How is Pep so blind that he cant see that Sterling is trash and holding the team back. Theres no coincidence that their two by far best performances have been when he isnt in the starting lineup.

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years

      This

      The opposition helped.

    3. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years

      Thats not the only thing he doesn't see..

    4. Regin
      • 6 Years

      he is blind unfortunately.

    I have 3 City and how all come away without a single return in this game amazes me.

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

      Always like this when you have 3 players going into the last game. Joke

      1. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Its getting silly now.

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

  14. RAFA THE GAFFA

    Literally every Super Sunday when I have a chance to destroy my rival it fails.

    Kun 🙁
    Mahrez 🙁
    KDB 🙁

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

      Could easily have been
      Kun 8pts
      Mahrez 2pts
      KDB 7
      KDB or Kun should have took the pen

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah Mahrez would of got the Kun off the post assist too 🙁

    Sonny boy never in doubt

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years

      He was for 70min

  19. Niho992

    Need another from Son for 3 BAPS

  20. The Neville Wears Prada

    With fraudiola not being in EPL next season, less headache for us?

  21. Hazz

    God, Chelsea vs. Tottenham in two GWs. They may leap-frog us, as I'm anticipating another hiccup for us vs. United and a Spurs win vs. Villa.

      Hopefully Kepa is back in for those speculative at best long range Fernandes efforts.

    Wanted to sell Sonaldo but now no way. Don't want Kun or Auba for now, too much problems and unsecurity. Also Bobby with this run is a keeper for me now. Just must decide what to do with Party guy.

    When these sides met in August...

    City - 30 shots, two goals

    Spurs - three shots, two goals

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years

      France rugby earlier and Spurs now showing how to be clinical and not wasteful

  25. Champions League Varane

    If KDB wasn’t to start next game

    Would you do KDB TO Son -4?

    Who were sky talking about just now? They said a city player was signalling to the bench and theb can off? Was it aguero or Mahrez

    Missed it

    1. The Neville Wears Prada
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Aguero already off..

  27. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy

    Liverpool and Sheff U assets saving people from sub 30 gameweek

  28. Boomerang V

    Myself this morning: I’m a genius for having Kdb, Kun and Auba yet to play!

    Myself right now: I’m an idiot for getting Auba and Aguero!

    Question: who do I sell first? I’m probably going back to Vardy and Ings

  29. Regin

    the real winners are the 2234 people who brought in Lloris

    1. Esalman
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Or held Snodgrass.

    2. Jordan.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      the real winners are the ones who decided to live without this stupid game

        maybe but no such people exist in this website
