Luckless Aguero blanks as Bergwijn helps Spurs beat ten-man City

Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 Manchester City

  • Goals: Steven Bergwijn (£7.5m), Son Heung-min (£9.9m)
  • Assists: Lucas Moura (£7.1m), Tanguy Ndombele (£5.8m)
  • Bonus: Hugo Lloris (£5.3m) x3, Bergwijn x2, Davinson Sanchez (£5.3m) x1

Sergio Aguero‘s (£12.0m) Gameweek 25 went the way of so many other well-owned Fantasy Premier League assets’ weekends, with the Argentinean forward blanking in a 2-0 defeat for Manchester City at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Aguero had scored in each of his four previous Premier League appearances but that run came to an end on Sunday as City endured another cursed evening in north London.

The premium FPL striker’s luck was out from the start, as Hugo Lloris (£5.3m) toed his 26th-minute effort onto the base of the upright.

Aguero then won a penalty for the visitors (after intervention from the VAR), only for Ilkay Gundogan (£5.2m) to step up and take the resulting spot-kick.

Further salt was rubbed into the wounds when the German midfielder missed from 12 yards, depriving his teammate of even an assist.

Aguero missed the target from around two yards out and had a goalbound effort hacked away from near the goal line by Toby Alderweireld (£5.3m) either side of the break, with a day to forget rounded off in the 64th minute when he was brought off for Joao Cancelo (£5.2m) as Pep Guardiola restructured his line-up following the dismissal of Oleksandr Zinchenko (£5.2m).

Not everything could be pinned on an absence of good fortune – Aguero ought to have done better with that aforementioned chance from point-blank range and he had a couple of wild stabs at the ball earlier in the game – but this was just one of those days where he failed to get the rub of the green.

On why Gundogan has stepped up to take the penalty, Guardiola said:

Their decision. When we spoke [about the running order] it was both, Sergio and Gund, Gund and Sergio, and they decide.

Raheem Sterling‘s (£11.7m) dismal run of FPL form continued and he couldn’t blame Lady Luck’s absence, having flirted with a red card for a nasty-looking tackle on Dele Alli (£8.5m) early in the game.

Jose Mourinho and co argued that he could have picked up a second booking for simulation in the 39th minute, too, hitting the turf under a challenge from Lloris and being denied a spot-kick award after a check from the VAR.

It’s now 11 blanks in 15 Gameweeks for the below-par premium midfielder, whose afternoon was capped off when he limped out of the game in the final ten minutes with an apparent muscle problem.

Guardiola said rather unhelpfully afterwards about Sterling’s injury:

I didn’t speak with the doctor, not yet.

The indefatigable Kevin De Bruyne‘s (£10.7m) magic touch deserted him in the final third as he occupied a more advanced central role alongside Aguero, while a bright start from Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m) gave way to one of his more frustrating, selfish displays and it was from his awful 59th-minute corner that Zinchenko picked up his second booking.

A home match against West Ham United next weekend at least offers the perfect opportunity to exorcise Sunday’s demons, with the Hammers having shipped nine goals in their last three games and having lost 5-0 in the reverse fixture in Gameweek 1.

The fact that City then have a two-week break to recover would also be encouraging regarding rotation risk, although we never truly know with Guardiola and there’ll much crossing of fingers from Fantasy managers ahead of that match at the Etihad.

Either way, it’s hard not to see investment in City assets increasing ahead of Gameweek 26 despite their upcoming blank on EFL Cup final weekend.

Mourinho claimed his first ‘big six’ scalp as Spurs manager but it would be a stretch to say that this was a tactical masterclass from the Lilywhites, with the game following a similar pattern to the Gameweek 22 defeat to Liverpool.

With the impressive Fernandinho (£5.2m) mopping up well at centre-half for the visitors, Spurs hadn’t had a single attempt on goal until Zinchenko was dismissed on the hour-mark.

Even the hosts’ opener came out of the blue, with debutant Steven Bergwijn (£7.5m) superbly crashing in a volley from the edge of the box to break the deadlock.

Son Heung-min (£9.9m) then registered his eighth attacking return in ten starts under Mourinho with a deflected strike for Spurs’ second.

While the Spurs boss bemoaned the lack of a red card for Sterling, the hosts’ luck was otherwise in and two near-miss own-goals in stoppage time – Harry Winks (£5.2m) and Davinson Sanchez (£5.3m) almost diverting the ball past Lloris – rather summed up the two sides’ contrasting fortunes.

Speaking of Bergwijn, who limped off with cramp late on, Mourinho said:

It was a debut goal that was the icing on the cake of a very good performance. Independent of the goal I would say his performance was very good, very solid. Very mature.

We worked hard during the week. He came to us Tuesday so he had a complete week to work and to try as fast as possible to understand what we wanted from him.

So very solid performance against such a difficult opponent like Kyle Walker, but then he was clever enough to appear also in other zones and try to create some problems for City.

So very, very good performance. Also defensively very aware of his position, defending zonal, covering spaces. Very, very good and then, of course, the goal is a great goal. It’s so important for us.

On Alli, who needed treatment on his ankle following Sterling’s robust tackle, Mourinho added:

Since that moment he was ‘can I stay on the pitch or not?’. Half-time the same discussion, beginning of the second half the same discussion and then he realised that he couldn’t carry on.

A third clean sheet in 13 matches under Mourinho isn’t anything to get overexcited about, particularly given the nature of this latest shut-out, but it’s worth hailing Spurs’ defensive efforts in this match, with budget FPL defender Japhet Tanganga (£4.0m) among those to impress individually.

Lloris’ return could also be significant to Spurs’ future clean sheet prospects, given what we highlighted last week in our Big Numbers piece about his expected goal prevention (xGP) stats.

Tottenham Hotspur XI (4-3-3): Lloris; Aurier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Tanganga; Winks, Lo Celso, Alli (Ndombele 70′); Son, Bergwijn (Lamela 70′), Moura (Dier 84′).

Manchester City XI (4-4-1-1): Ederson; Walker, Fernandinho, Otamendi, Zinchenko; Sterling (B. Silva 84′), Gundogan, Rodri, Mahrez (Jesus 72′); De Bruyne; Aguero (Cancelo 64′).

    Afternoon all, any thoughts here on what to do with 1FT here?

    McCarthy
    TAA Robbo Lundstram
    Salah KDB Mahrez Fleck
    Aguero (c) Jimenez Ings

    Button Webster Hayden Williams 1.9 ITB

    Lundstram to Stephens and double up on the Saints defence? Great stats and play in 28.

    1. Link
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Lundy > Bertrand/Stephens/SHU def for me

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

      Yep. Seems like a plan, otherwise Fernandez or C. Taylor?

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Might bring in Fernandez in GW 28 for Webster or Williams

    3. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'm going for a slightly underwhelming but sensible Williams -> Taylor. I would say that or Lundstram -> O'Connell or Lascelles/Fernandez.

  2. Link
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone for this 433 wildcard team? Giving it some serious thought now...

    McArthy (Button)
    TAA - Robbo - Stevens - Baldock (Lascelles)
    Salah - KDB - Son (Hayden, Mooy)
    Vardy - Jimenez - Ings

    Double attacking fullbacks and gets me through the blank with 11 and no transfers as well...

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Think Vardy is a little off the boil and you can probably try someone else to get ahead of the masses.

      1. Link
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Nobody really standing out. Auba has the fixtures but Arsenal blank 28 and not creating anywhere near enough (fan here). Vardy I think has been a tad unlucky of late - missed pen, good chance against Chelsea and should have had an assist. Fixtures looking good soon

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Fair enough then. Will probably bring him back soon for Aguero myself. GTG!

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

      Like that with no MF options at the minute.

    3. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Looks decent enough. Could go Robbo & Baldock -> VVD & O'Connell to upgrade bench or get another Keeper for BB.

    4. Mortal.Swinbat
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Thinking of something similar to be fair, seems to be value in all 4 of those defenders and it lets you have a power 3 mid.

      Everyone I stray from 343 though I always regret it...

      1. Link
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I'm a sucker for wing backs and the 3 home fixtures for SHU look tasty. Especially as lots will be scrambling over what to do with Lundstram and think these 2 could be good differentials.

        No doubt a couple of mids will suddenly become great options again

    5. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I've been looking at going 4 at the back on wildcard too. Seems excellent value, especially with SHU upcoming fixtures...

      1. Mortal.Swinbat
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        This sounds like everyone at the start of the season, all it takes is SHU to concede and Son/Richarlison/Maddison/Martial to haul and it's back to 343

        1. SHOOTER MCGINN
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          That is true, and I don't think I'll be off 3-4-3 for too long, but for the next 4 weeks it seems to be a valid option. Can reassess after that with 2FT.

  3. sirmorbach
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Lads, would you please help me out? 0.9 in the bank.

    Ryan / 4.0
    Chilwell, TAA, Gomez / Lundstram, Simpson
    Salah, KDB, Maddison, Grealish, Traoré
    Vardy, Jiménez, Ings

    Madds, Lundstram a slight concern. But thinking of holding for now an assessing with 2 ft next GW. What do you say?

    1. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Lundstram -> O'Connell or Simpson -> Taylor/Lascelles/Fernandez?

      1. sirmorbach
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Good call. Thanks, mate!

  4. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Why so many Double Liverpool Defences in WC? Liverpool have been a little fortunate in not conceding more goals and sooner or later their luck will run out. When Mane comes back and starts banging in the goals everyone will want him back.

    1. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Points mainly

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      By the time their luck runs out title could be in the bag (6 wins needed) and we might not need to own Pool players.
      So rather get the ones in who are fit to start and scoring points.

    3. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      18 months of luck? Mad that

      1. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Who said anything about 18 months. I'm talking about the last few matches the opponents have been very unlucky not to score. Remember Liverpool weren't keeping clean sheets at the start of the season forehead.

        1. farmerfat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          fivehead

    4. Mortal.Swinbat
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I said this after they got 4 in a row, now it’s like 9 in 10 or something?

  5. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    How much do you think Lamela will.be next season?

    Just working on my first FPL 20/21 draft....

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      5.5/6.0

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      7.0 - think he will do well playing for Brentford.

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Wow, just looked at the Championship - imagine Brentford in the PL 😯

  6. bigbudgie
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Lundstrum to another SHU def for a hit?

    Already did Kelly to Stevens for free

    1. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Who will play if you don't take a hit...?

      1. bigbudgie
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Soy (wol) or Rico (shu)

        1. InSaneMan-e
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Then no IMO

        2. Catastrophe
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Not sure then, don't really like defenders for a hit but you'll probably make the points up. Maybe wait on team news just in-case.

        3. Bavarian
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Play Soy

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I regret not taking that hit last week. If your team is in perfect shape, don't do it, but imo it can't wait long. You will only lose pts snd value. Postponing the hit is worst idea.

  7. Catastrophe
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Williams -> Taylor? 0.1 ITB. Will be priced out when Taylor rises. May need a decent sub as Traore is doubt.

    McCarthy
    TAA, VVD, O'Connell
    Salah, KDB, Grealish, Traore
    Aguero, Aubameyang, Jimenez

    (Button, Lascelles, Hayden, Williams)

    Cheers!

    what do you think guys

    vardy -> ings?

    A) yay
    B) nay

    best midfielder up to 7.8

    1) willian
    2) harvey barnes
    3) moura
    4) bergwijn
    5) other suggestion

    1. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure of Vardy--> ings if I'm honest
      But. Doing that would allow Son who I'm a fan of (assuming you have Salah KDB)

      1. Totti
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        yes i've aguero KDB salah firmino
        max to get in midfielder 7.8

    2. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Keep Vardy imo. Harvey Barnes is a great shout after the city game

      1. Totti
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        ings matches are juicy
        plus i want to free up cash to upgrade midfielder

        salah KDB snodgrass traore cantwell
        vardy aguero firmino

  10. Kala Balla
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    What is the latest update on Mane's injury? Anyone, anything! Given the upcoming fixtures I think he will be an excellent option for a quick differential...given that most have the double Liverpool defense now!!!

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Klopp's last comment was that he's out of West Ham and Saints, so would assume he is back for Norwich. He is back in England after doing gym work in Spain (via his social media pics).

      1. Kala Balla
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks for the insider info. P.S. I know D. Berbatov personally and he really boasts a big forehead.

        1. goriuanx
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Haha yeah - my grav is to reflect the intelligence in his forehead! What a player.

          1. Kala Balla
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Indeed. He was a brilliant player. Unorthodox in every aspect of the game. He is now contemplating to become Head of the Bulgarian Football Union (the local federation). We will see if his genius transfers off the pitch.

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Dont expect to hear anything before next Friday I guess.

  11. Karan14
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    TAA, VVD & Salah vs (nor)
    Hendo, Stevens & O'Connell vs (BOU)
    McCarthy, Stephens & Ings vs (BUR)
    KDB & Aguero vs (WHU)
    Traore & Jimenez vs (LEI)
    Grealish vs (TOT)
    Mooy vs (WAT)

    Think I'm going to stick to the plan and use BB for these 15 players this week.
    Thoughts?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Go for it. Great squad.

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks mate!

        Traore a bit of a worry but nothing is gonna stop that man from playing.

    2. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Great opportunity. The only real risk is aguero I suppose

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        He is my captain most likely 😛

        1. Champ
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Good luck! I'd be inclined to go Salah in case aguero gets a cameo

          1. Karan14
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Well Salah got me 80 points in the past 2 weeks so I have no reason to go against him.

            But West Ham's defence, Kun's ownership and form is a huge opportunity.

    Why won't Aguero start the next game? I know "Pep Roulette". But he is in an amazing form! If Jesus is given a game, then it would be at Sterling's cost! Aguero is a great captain option this week!

      hmmmm....interesting view... then why was he the first to be hooked after the red

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Not the first time he has been hooked when City get a red card.

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

        that was tactical i guess

    2. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      You can't take the risk he won't play. He is the definite captain choice this week.

    3. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      thats the worry

    4. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I personally dont see any reason why he wont start.
      If there is any reason he doesn't it will be Pep himself.

    5. Pep Pig
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Personally I think he's an excellent captain shout and fortune will favour the brave

    6. Catastrophe

      I will be captaining him over Salah. If you can't captain him at home to WHU then can't justify his cost. Having said that I would not be that surprised if he is benched at which point I suspect with the blank coming up he'll be transferred out by a lot!

      He is but it's risky

      No guarantees. Why did pep take off aguero when they needed a goal? Most people thought it was so clear he should stay on especially when they went a goal down. Pep thought differently.

      Just another example, you cannot predict pep. Anyone trying to is either wasting their time or kidding themselves and others

    Currently got a team of:

    Henderson, Button
    TAA, Soyuncu, Lundstram, Kelly, Janmaat
    Salah, KDB, Traore, Cantwell, Moura
    Ings, Vardy, DCL

    6.9m ITB (did Mane to Traore last week!) - 1 FT

    a) Kelly -> Liverpool defender
    b) DCL -> Auba
    c) DCL & Kelly -> Gomez & Auba
    d) Wildcard and get:

    Henderson --- McCarthy
    TAA --- Gomez, O'Connell, Lascelles, Tanganga
    Salah, KDB, Traore, Cantwell --- Son
    Ings --- Auba, Jiminez

    Anyone after the --- is changed from my current squad.

    Assuming Sterling is injured, I’m thinking it’s likely City go to Jesus and Aguero. One week punt on Jesus before going back to Vardy?

    1. farmerfat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      From my previous experiences this season, 1 week punts on City players just dont work.
      Pep roulette means your player may not start, have to give them 3-5 weeks minimum to set off the rotation

    2. jtreble
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Might work. WHU (H) could be huge points imho.

  24. Captain_Shirokov

    Who should be my priority to get rid of?

    A) Maddison
    B) Vardy
    C) Lundstram
    D) Rico

    Nothing in the bank, hate having a Leicester double up.

    1. Totti
      • 7 Years

      maddison

  25. Soto Ayam

    Is tanganga pretty much nailed now?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Still has Vertonghen and eventually B.Davies for competition. But his place to lose.

      1. Soto Ayam

        Thanks for the reply. Possible he could take aurier's spot also?

      Mane has to be top if the outlay doesn't cripple the rest of your side. Expected back by Norwich then has a ridiculous run of games...
